For a very long time now, Brooks Brothers has advertised on its website a deal in which you can buy three dress shirts for $199. Overall, I think it's a deal you can't beat. Those are very high quality shirts that are not too fancy (they work with a suit or with dress casual), not too expensive, and will last a very long time. Averaged out on the deal, the shirts are approximately $65 a piece (you can buy them individually for $75). If you check out JCrew's site, you'll see that they charge $65 for individual dress shirts. My own opinion, after having also purchased some JCrew dress shirts, is that the difference in quality between the BB shirts and JCrew shirts is immeasurable despite their comparable price (the JCrew shirts pale, PALE, in comparison).
This is just my impression, but I'm around a lot of no-nonsense type people, and my impression of J Crew is that if you're looking to impress some ladies, it's not a bad way to go.
But if you're looking to show you're serious and that you mean business around the office, stick to Brooks Brothers and Jos A Bank.
