Can some one please point out what makes these shirts wonderful?
I picked up two today for $.90 each...no ****! I almost fainted, two in my size, one a french cuff in white, the other a tasteful stripe...$1.80 for both, brand new.
Ok, I can see the buttons are amazing, the collar seems different in construction and the fabric is awesome. Please enlighten me on more? I havent really tried them on, cause I found some other amazing stuff and I tried them on first.

Ok, well you already answered it:

As long as the fit is for you (trim, very high armholes) and it fits you well, what else is there to a great shirt other than fabric, buttons and collar? The fabric alone on a top end shirt could be $150-250 dollars, then there is the actual work of putting it together, the MOP buttons, etc etc.
