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.

Brooks has a nice sale going right now. You can also get some really nice shirts on line for decent prices. Shirts vary in fit from vendor to vendor though, so you have to be careful with ordering on line unless you're familiar with the designer.

I would say hit some outlets too. Brooks Brothers has a nice outlet in Leesburg, VA. Oh, if you're ever travelling through South Carolina there are a shit load of outlets along the SC/NC border. Dirt cheap. I think it's a good idea to buy stuff out of season too.

Hey, maybe we should open a Warpath Online Gentlemen's store
