I had a number of shirts with french cuffs made for me in Delhi. When they were delivered to my apartment the tails were about 6 inches longer than the front. I asked why, and was told that if the cuffs or collar wore out I could have new ones cut from the tail and the fabric would be an absolute match. Try getting that at M&S or Penny's!

OK, I have looked at brooks bros., lands end, and some of the others mentioned. Other than going to Hyderebad....anyone find french cuff shirts in the $20-40 range? Brooks bros. wants $80!!!!!! That's highway robbery!

Any links would be greatly appreciated since all i have is some white and blue french cuff shirts and I want to branch out without breaking the bank.

Lasy year Target (of all places

) carried quite a few different colors and patterned French cuffed shirts. But they don't seem to have any in stock at this point. The fact that they carry a pretty decent selection of cufflinks and a box of stays seems promising though. Maybe you should look at their online store?

PaulFredrick.com carries shirts with French cuffs. I believe their 100 thread count shirts are around $55 US.

Have you ever worn a Brooks Brothers shirt? $80 is quite reasonable. I'm quite satisfied with my BB shirts.

And don't forget, BB has a number of outlet stores where there shirts are cheaper.

You get what you pay for.

I watch for sales at BB, Jos. A. Bank, various outlets. Bank has a smattering of sizes on
sale and clearance pages now.

If anyone is hankering for a long overcoat, they have some sharp looking merino wool topcoats at half price (2 bills US).

Also check Saks Fifth Avenue outlets and Nordstrom's outlets. I bought some great french cuff shirts at the Nordstrom's outlet last year. I don't recall the price, but I can't imagine I'd spend more than $40 and buy more than one.

They usually have outlets around major metro areas, so check around the Denver area. I know Marshall's and other outlet type clothing stores also have french cuff shirts, but I rarely bought them there because they never had the right size for me. Those would be the cheapest place to buy them, but I'd still check Nordstrom's outlet because you'll find better colors and styles there.

Finally, K&G Mens stores have french cuff shirts in lots of colors and styles. I used to buy dress shirts from them in their Kansas City metro area store. K&G also has dirt cheap prices.

In that price range I think I would be tempted to spend a little more and get an actual custom made shirt from Steve at Freedom Kilts. It would be fun to get to choose exactly what you wanted.

Hmmmmm....is it too early to start making my Christmas Wish List?

It's Valentine's Day, we're going to dinner, I forgot my shirts at the laundry. Dashed into my local department store minutes before closing and bought a Van Heusen white shirt with french cuffs for $26.00 (on sale). So it would seem that FC shirts aren't all that hard to come by, or all that expensive.
