Explore that further. What do those words mean? How do you determine quality of fabric? What is feel? What makes a cut more or less appealing?

quality of fabric, feel and cut. make sense?

True. I'm just playing devil's advocate--people throw around superlatives without background.
lol, sure pete ... ill give you some context. in the 20+ years i have been buying shirts the margielas are the most impressive. are there better dress shirts out there? of course but i dont own any ... yet. i pay special attention to how the shirt FITS ME. i prefer a dress shirt with a tapered bottom and narrow shoulders with longer sleeves (i have long arms). i also look pay attention to the feel and texture of the fabric. is the fabric comfortable and soft to the touch yet substantial at the same time? i also pay close attention to how the shirt is stitched. i also look at the buttons used on that garment. i can say w/o a DOUBT the past few margiela shirts i have purchased are the finest button downs i own given the criteria above. if you dont agree i could care less. am i a dress shirt expert? **** no, but if you wanna play games there you go. sorry people!

Good info about MMM shirts. I own shoes, a jacket, and a few other assorted mmm items but never even considered the dress shirts- Sounds like I should.

For reference, mind mentioning some of the other brands you are comparing them to? I'm not trying to be a dick or question your opinion, just trying to see what you're basing that on.

I applaud your parquet. If you wore shoes in your house I'd never have you over to mine.

That petrov looks bizarrely interesting username84

Picking up some **** for summer

Fit pics on those Schneiders would be great. They look like they fit pretty boxy and awkward on most people.
