TailorByrd Men's Sport Shirts: Love It!

My husband loves shopping at Costco. Every Thursday when he leaves Chattanooga heading for our lake house in Alabama, he stops at the Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia Costco to pick up necessities and whatever else grabs his attention. Two weeks ago he came home with a new sports shirt that I glanced at but, as usual, I was probably distracted and didn't really pay attention. Last week, he bought two more shirts because, he said, "Even though I don't usually wear stripes and plaids, these are really great shirts!"

  

Because my husband usually pays upwards of $100 each for his dress shirts, this time I looked more closely and discovered that these really are great shirts!  The brand is TailorByrd, whose tagline is "Amazing Fit. Effortless Style. Endless Compliments." The shirts are made of beautiful cotton in gorgeous saturated colors and prints, contrasting inside collar and cuffs, embroidered logo on the inside yoke and the bottom of the placket, and so meticulously stitched that it would be fine to wear it inside out.

I had never heard of TailorByrd so I found their website at www.TailorByrd.com.  The Byrd Evolution page talks about the quality of their shirts, and they feature four different collar options (spread, button-down, hidden button-down and modern button-down) plus big and tall Sports Shirts priced from $79 to $99.  Which makes the Costco price for this shirt utterly ridiculous:  $12.97.  No, I'm not joking!
     
  

I called my local Huntsville, AL Costco and they aren't carrying them, or they're already sold out.  But, I called the Fort Oglethorpe Costco where my husband bought these shirts and a customer service employee, Lisa, told me that they have 300 of them in stock at Fort Oglethorp, as did all the stores she checked in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina . . . She said the stores that don't have them have probably just sold out.

Because these shirts have embroidered logos instead of sewn-in tags, I asked Lisa if these were a special order by Costco but she didn't know.  Regardless, these shirts would be a great buy at $59, but at $12.97 they're a steal!

If you're a man who wears stylish dress shirts (or sports shirts as they officially call these), or you're a woman who knows a man who does, get yourself to Costco and grab some of these TailorByrds.
