We are having so much trouble trying to find a shirt for OH.
What we need is a C@dbury purple long sleeved shirt. We have been in all the usual suspects several times, including D3b5, N3xt, J0hn L3wi5, m+5, M055 Br05, T0pm@n, Burt0n, R1v3r 15land, Z@r@,TM L3w1n etc. We found ONE shirt in the right shade and hue but it was short sleeved so no good. What annoys me is that the actual shirt shop had so many colours, even bright yellow and orange but no purple.
Getting worn out now, so can anyone recommend anywhere that would do this? Also any websites that we could order from or if there is any major retailer we've forgotten?

Could you not get a white shirt and use dye to get the colour you want xx

Have you tried sl@t3rs? I know they have waistcoats in that shade of purple so maybe worth a try for a shirt.

Thanks Julie, just checked their site but they don't have it, just the usual lilac or ones that are actually blue :/
Shell not a bad idea I will keep that in mind :)

What about m@t@l@n? Haven't been recently but sure I've seen purple in there before.
HOF or M0ss br0s or Amaz0n - I would have thought it would be quite a popular wedding short colour so would expect most wedding type places to sell them!
Could try BH5 - might get a bargain! Lol xx

Mo55 Bro5, don't have them Michelle - they are the ones that have bright orange and yellow but not cadbury purple. Had a look on H0f and BH5, they have options but not he right size, plus they have a pocket which makes them look like a work shirt.
Have ordered from a company called it@1l0r. £25.97 and OH has chosen the colour and loads of other options and it will be made to measure and posted out - special offer on the fabric this week. Fingers crossed its ok :)

Yes I saw that site but I had never heard of them so didn't want to suggest them- it looks the right colour though so fingers crossed this is your answer :-) xx

Hi Nicole
Already looked there and they only have lilac and wine colours.
CommentAuthorNicoleW665
I have just had another look and they have a colour that i would defo describe as c@dbury purple, if you go to the home page, then to mens formal shirts and filter to purple there are 90 different shirts to choose from x

Hi Nicole, appreciate your help but as I have already said several posts up we have ordered one made to measure.
I have been to both the Manchester and Trafford Centre stores, and online, they do not have what we are looking for.

Sorry, I must have missed that post, glad you got it sorted x

The shirt came and we picked it up from the PO yesterday. OH is happy with it especially as the sleeves fit! Good quality material and the stitching on the monogram is good, looks just like a good quality shirt from any shop :)
