I'm interested in ordering some shirts from Ratio (some OCDB and a couple of dress shirts) at some point. I do have a question, the pink OCBD, anyone buy that and is it as deep a shade of pink as it shows on the website?
I don't know, the pink looks pretty nice. I did order the gray oxford last year and that was pretty close to the color on the site. Perhaps a little lighter.

Don't they source the Oxford cloth from the same factory that Brooks Brothers uses? I'd wager the colors are similar.

I have the pink ratio. Its a bit richer than a pale pink offered by Brooks. I like the material!

Good to hear about the fabric quality. I can live with a bit richer, the pink offered by Brooks Brothers is tricky with my ruddy anglo-scots complexion. I'll keep an eye on where the Canadian dollar is in terms of exchange rate and maybe order some Ratio shirts around my birthday at the end of the Summer.

Would be nice to see some of the OCBD shirts photographed in daylight.

Pink Sig. twill looks stunning!
Just so folks know you can add all sorts of goodies to your Ratio shirt. I was wearing my white OCBD yesterday and was admiring the chest button they put on!
