, nice one from hugoboi, but the shirts must fit well,not hang loosely,be well starched[for niger setting!!] and of course the confidence/poise must not be lacking,
   Ralph shirts are not necesarily  corporate outfits please!!they are majorly for parties,picnics,as casuals to work et al,

Man TM shirts are boring, they say the prices are not friendly at 25 pounds? i love paul smith, versace, girogio armani, louis vuitton,polo ralph lauren, hermes , christian dior and my lacoste shirts.  Talk about an awards night or going to work or anything wearing those gayish looking Tm lewin shirts or thomas pink. Lots of nigerians wear em because they know nothing about em and are not really exposed to a lot of designer apparels.
  I know a guy that sells paul smith, girogio armani, fendi, polo shirts in nigeria. You place an order from him and you get them in 10 days if you are in nigeria. Usa delivery is even 5-7 dasys because my girl friend and uncle bought from him. This is his catalog http://new.photos.yahoo.com/kolajocat/albums/  Sometimes all these unilag boys make me laugh, wearing a 25 pound shirt and feeling big, all looking like faggots. How can you be a real club boy and dress in all that cheap stuff.
  If you watched the new james bond movie, casino royal. He was dressed all in paul smith, giorgio armani, louis vuitton stuff . You never even hear of Tm lewin when people mention designers.

here we go with the loudmouth.  People should wear whatever they can afford. i think TM Lewin's are rather expensive and Nigerian students that wear em' are just showing off.

Several other shirtmakers abound
Personally think TM Lewin shirts are over-rated, seems to me 'twas Nigerians and our flamboyant ways that made the brand popular

I agree with User86666, TM shirts ARE overrated. To wear one for me is like guaranteeing there will be at least one other person in that shirt either at my firm or at the client!

I wasn't into shirt makers per say until recently but now I absolutely adore Hawes &Curtis. The cut is fantastic! and Tom Ford dress shirts are an absolute essential!

So my votes go to Hawes & Curtis, Tom Ford.

Thanks dew, the English don't wear TM's as much as we do because they have many other good shirtmakers in their land with more reasonable prices. Most naijas are comfortable following the crowd, unaware of their choices

The prices show their class

Expensive price is not necessarily classy. . . would you wear those Michael Jackson's garish leather jackets?

I beg to differ.This ainta matter of crowd cus i hardly come across any TM rockin crowd.The fact is the English rarely wear TM cus being naturally conservative,they wouldnt want to spend so much on one shirt when they've got cheaper alternatives.let me ask a question?How many ordinary Nigerians rock clothes by ade Bakare or Deola Sagoe?Does it make them any less classy?
TM is d sh*t and i'D stick wit it anyday

@Hugoboi : Tom Ford used to be Gucci's top designer.
Somehow, I find TM shirts all look alike- all stripey and whatnot! LoL
I'll concede that the British are the true shirt makers and Nigerians LOVE everything British I guess because I'D never heard of all these shirt makers till shopping for work in Nigeria.
But my Tom ford shirts fit the best, cut for long & lean people with extra long sleeves!

Tom Ford rocks!

 Cool

i am not a fan of TM Lewin, but i like the John Francombe by TM lewin range. Its kind of chic unlike normal TM's

John Francomb is the creative director at TM. He owned Asquith Brown (shirtmakers) before it was acquired by TM in the '80s. The shirts are fitted and really nice.

More money for TM
