The only review I've seen was in the Wall Street Journal and rated the Jos. Bank shirts "Best Overall." See http://www.azstarnet.com/allheadlines/124195

I've been buying them (and the Traveler Polos and Sportshirts since I read the review in 2006). They have been terrific. If they get wrinkled while folded in my suitcase, I just put them in the bathroom and run the shower for a couple of minutes and they are just fine to wear. I haven't had a quality problem thus far and they look good in settings in which I'm expected to look like I'm wearing either expensive suits or expensive business casual.

My business partner swears by the Brooks Brothers version, but I'm more frugal. So far, the Jos. Bank version has been quite good and they have terrific sales. You do get bombarded by emails with pseudo-sales but I am pleased that I can buy them for prices like $28.

My only complaint is that the patterns are too American and more than half my clients are in UK and Continental Europe and I'd like more London City-style patterns.
