With Everlane, I probably would only buy them if I wanted a particular colour or pattern. Their retail on a shirt is around $90AUD, but you can usually get 3 shirts for this amount when on sale. TM Lewin have loads of sales and have free shipping once you spend over a certain amount.

I should note that I could have ordered the Asket OCDB in Medium but opted for a Large (short) just to fit my shoulders better. I could probably get all of the OCBD’s sleeves shortened, besides the Spier and Mackay shirt which allowed me to choose my sleeve length. All of them are long enough to be tucked in without any issue.ĭo I have short arms? Or does everyone just have long arms? Most likely the former. Asket’s shirt isn’t advertised as slim at all, it’s straight cut so it’s great if you want an overall more relaxed fit. ![]() The measurements I’ve taken essentially reflect their fit as well, Spier and Mackay is the slimmest, TM Lewin is slightly roomier while Everlane has a more slim-straight fit.
