Twillory — 7/10
Comfortable, cotton-rich value play at ~$55—soft, well-fitting, and fairly priced, but don't expect wrinkle-free despite the label.
What we liked: Twillory dress shirts are the best shirts I've found for the money. The fit is perfect, with a great balance of slim and comfortable., I've worn these through 12-hour workdays and they still look pressed. No ironing needed, ever., Best bang for your buck in performance dress shirts. I own 8 of them now and they're all I wear to the office., Sizing is consistent across all their styles which makes reordering easy. Love the modern fit..
Worth knowing: Not as wrinkle-resistant as Mizzen+Main, but at $30 less per shirt, it's a fair trade-off., The performance fabric feels great but doesn't breathe as well as traditional cotton in summer heat..
Birddog — 3.5/10
At $127, Birddogs are 'fine'—but fine is a failure competing against DUER and Bluffworks.
Worth knowing: Arrives wrinkled from the factory with poor wrinkle recovery after wear, Stretch is inadequate—doesn't snap back and develops bagginess by day three, Silhouette is awkward, caught between athletic and business casual, Overpriced at $127 when direct competitors deliver significantly better performance.
