As a Tech fan it is my duty to take a shot at the UVa football program whenever the opportunity presents itself. I was raised in Cville too! 

I just received my shirt yesterday -- it looks great! I'll post a photo when I get it ironed up and am actually wearing it, but a quick fit report: A bit slimmer in the waist than my Charles Tyrwhitt tailored shirts, but not quite as tight in the chest/shoulders -- this is actually a perfect combo for be, because the CT tailored fit shirts were just a tad too tight in the shoulders for me, leading me to mostly get their slim fit shirts.

Anyway so far I'm happy, I'll post a photo when I'm actually wearing it.

(FWiW, I think the referral discount is still going on, not sure if it's $25 or $50 off at this point. I post my link earlier, but if anyone is on the fence about trying Ledbury, shoot me a PM and I'll give you my code -- or you can ask for anyone else who's bought a shirt so far!)

Wore the shirt all day (enjoy the crappy cell photo!) -- the shirt was very comfortable all day. Fits great in the waist, which is where most shirts are uncomfortable for me. Happy with the purchase so far.

Thanks for the 30% off sale. I copped an Atherton and a blue Bengal.

Received my first Ledbury shirt last week.  I went with the Blue Fine Twill Spread in the slim fit.  Pretty happy with both the fit and quality.  I plan to continue my support of another W&L General with future purchases!

Fred -- I might be revealing my naiveté, but I'm not sure how you would pattern match a shirt like this. I imagine it would be quite difficult to do in this case, but I'd love to see an example of shirt that does it, if you can dig up a link.

So that said, no it doesn't bother me. It's a great fit -- like I said earlier, it's a closest to my Charles Tyrwhitt "tailored" fit shirts, but this gives me more room in the shoulders, which matches my body type better. (I think I have a pretty 'average' body type as well, so that's probably a good sign for many people).

Most shirts do not, but since Ledbury said they pattern matched I kind of expected them to actually pattern match. Probably half of my shirts are Hilditch & Key which does pattern match. Most of the rest are BB or CT which does not, and an assortment of those that do (Drake's, Zegna, etc.). It's not a big deal if you're wearing a jacket, but considering H&K shirts are now sub $100 in Dec. and Ledbury is $135ish, I was expecting pattern matching.

Do you have a photo or a link to an example? (This is off topic now, but I'm curious!)
