Unlike kangaroo pouches and amusement parks with integrity, well-made shirts don't need zippers. Spare torsos the bite of metal teeth with today's Groupon: for $45, you get $90 worth of fashionable shirts and accessories from Spier & Mackay. This Groupon is redeemable online and includes free shipping and returns.

Spier & Mackay harnesses time-honoured English shirt-making techniques via the diligent digits of experienced tailors to produce quality, handmade shirts and ties. More than 200 made-to-measure designs ($110+) ensure that customized thoracic threads fit like gloves or glove-shaped puzzle pieces. Browse more than 400 classic, contemporary, and casual ready-made cuts ($85 for one, $199 for three), suitable for pairing with distinguished bow ties or undistinguished paper-bag ties. A full range of handmade ties ($49) burnishes party ensembles with knotted suaveness, and a shiny set of cufflinks ($39) serves as the icing on the office armour, resulting in a gentlemanly makeover worthy of the most dapper of monocle-clad scarecrows.
