Durable Dress Shirts for Hubby

My husband is very rough on his clothes, too! He's always had good luck with Lands' End dress shirts, both the oxford button down and the pinpoint.

Lands End items last FOREVER. I have a shirt that is 20 years old! They are DIFFERENT - better cloth, better stitching, better made. Give 1 or 2 a try.

LLBean & Land's End. They are both very good about guaranteeing/replacing their clothes, and they both have wrinkle/stain-resistant options, too. Another option would be Duluth Trading Company, but their clothes might be a little casual for your hubby. They also guarantee everything for wear/tear, and their stuff is great quality!

We have had good luck with Apt 9 shirts from Kohls for my hubby.
Plus you can snatch them up cheap with all their promos.

My husband has that same problem. He likes the shirts at Jos. A. Banks. They just recently had a deal of buy 4 get half off (or something like that). That was about a week ago, so I don't know if it is still going on.

My husband only wears the Travelers shirts from Joseph A Bank.

Land's End shirts are durable.

I always used to spend $$$$$ on no-iron dress shirts from Brooks Brothers for my husband, but then a couple of them wore a hole on the crease on the sleeve, after maybe a year or two? So not worth the big bucks! Since then, we have tried LL Bean, Lands End & Eddie Bauer shirts. They've all held up pretty well (no holes), but the Eddie Bauer shirts have held their no-iron finish the best by far.

I am glad you asked this question - it never occurred to me to look at Jos. A. Banks!

LL Bean. The company guarantees (and will replace) all of their clothing for life.

I'm with J.C., he loves Travelers from Joseph A. Bank. They're a bit more expensive but they're SO nice, and they often have big sales (buy one get two free, etc.).

My husband prefers Van Heusen shirts. They're not super expensive and are dressy but have lasted a long time. I believe Penneys' may carry them but I know for sure that Macy's does. If he's ripping elbows -- make sure the professionally fitted sleeve length is long enough! He may be ripping them when he bends his elbows which would indicate the shirts are straining when he flexes his arm and thus the sleeves are too short--??Good luck.

Jos. A banks - their shirts are great and last a long time. They also have huge sales so don't ever pay full price for a single shirt (BOGO is a big sale for them).

Brooks Brothers has travel shirts that are spendy but well worth it... I think we're going on 5-6 years with those.

LL Bean has great quality AND a superior return policy should anything go wrong. You'll need to spend about double what you're currently spending but it will be well worth it! Good luck.
