suggestions for UK Smart Casual Work Shirts

I'm looking for suggestions for brands to get my Brother-in-law some work shirts, he lives in the UK and I don't. I'm looking at about $25 USD per shirt/£20 GBP per shirt. Cost can bump up if needed, but that's the preference. Other key facts: he's a professor at a university, slimfit/small as general sizing, and prefers natural fibers (cotton, linen, et cetera). I'm looking on my own, but any suggestions on brands would be appreciated.

Charles Tyrwhitt are £29. Hawes and Curtis are currently £25 in some lines. TM Lewin are £20-30. M&S probably a bit cheaper but not as good.

John Lewis house brand might be under £20 if you're lucky with a sale,but usually around £30.

I recommend getting untreated fabrics if you can btw (meaning not the non iron fabrics) Also a button down collar shirt is easier to wear without a tie

This is a total Americanism and matters far less over here (and probably generally in Europe).

Oh ig I'm just Derek Guy pilled then lol. I do personally think it's a better look without a tie than a spread collar

Hawes and Curtis has some cute cufflinks.... I don't use cufflinks but those textured silk guys are way in my wheelhouse Ty so much for suggestions I ended up looking at the TK Maxx website and found some Tm Lewin Shirts for under 20 GBP (also norse projects stuff but I can't afford to get my BIL norse projects... yet)
