Meet the man whose dress shirts are all the rage among Orthodox Jews, Nicholas Wheeler, the founder of men’s clothier Charles Tyrwhitt, who has become an accidental fashion king in the Jewish community.

For his part, Wheeler, who isn’t Jewish, is appreciative that his shirts are so deeply loved by the Orthodox community, a phenomenon he became aware of at least five years ago, he estimated.

Wheeler said that Lakewood, N.J., home to a sizable Orthodox Jewish population, has particularly robust sales. Periodically, he said, his company will receive a bulk order of 500 to 1,000 shirts in the U.S. Read the full article at Jewishinsider.com.

    • tell that to the kids who were never accepted or expelled from Yeshivas! Torah withheld from the Jewish people!

  1. White shirts have become today’s Avodah Zarah. White shirts used to be reserved for שבת . Not anymore. Just remember the following Halacha:

    הָאוֹמֵר אֵינִי יוֹרֵד לִפְנֵי הַתֵּבָה, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁבְּגָדַי צְבוּעִין–אַף בִּלְבָנִים, לֹא יַעֲבֹר בְּאוֹתָהּ הַתְּפִלָּה. אָמַר אֵינִי עוֹבֵר, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁיֵּשׁ בְּרַגְלַי סַנְדָּל–אַף יָחֵף, לֹא יַעֲבֹר.

    • Incorrect. A Ben Torah dresses with a white shirt. A Ben Torah walks in the street with a black hat and jacket. This is the uniform of the Bnei Torah.
      Now, chalav stam, that’s a whole different topic.

  2. Has spending 50-90 dollars on a shirt become the norm for Bnei Torah??? Is this what Hakadosh Boruch HU wants from us?? Good quality shirts can be gotten for 20-30…. medium quality for 15-20…. what should the one who commits himself to limud HaTorah as his avocation do?
