Default Shopping Dress Shirts

Hello Everyone!

Can any one inform me where to find decent and affordable dress shirts in Riyadh? And shirts made in which countries are the best?
A friend of mine informed me of a few places, but the shirts found there don't come in Small sizes (the minimum is Medium) and they are all extremely loose at the waist and the chest. I am looking for something like slim fit. But not necessary slim fit. Just a shirt that fits you appropriately.
Also inform of about dress pants.

Ask if you need more information.

Thank you for your time.

But your location says Doha, Qatar. Is Primark in KSA or Qatar? If in KSA can you inform where?

Just next to TJ Hughes and down the road from Poundland you'll probably pass Cash Convertors on the way through to the Souk.

Hope this helps

Probably if you can provide a Google maps location. Because I believe i haven't been to this place. It is not inside a compound, is it?

Thank you for posting.
If you are residing in KSA, is that how you buy your clothes here?

Not a Brit, anyway. I've a feeling that our friend Henry isn't from our green and pleasant land. I'm pleased when I find a make which does an XL in my size--usually I have to opt for the "FB" size.

Aye same here, shame Oakley and some of the surf wear is 'slim fit'. One of the girls passed on my way and I said 'I tell you pet, it's a long time since I've been slim fit'.
