Yes, but they seem to be quite rare. I'm always on the lookout for leads on colored MOP.

I found their website.

Sorry, I realize this is the supplier and not the mill/maker, but that's all I know.

Best,

How much do these shirts run if you don't mind?

Beautiful shirts RJ, and somewhat more sedate than I would have imagined.

What's that supposed to mean? Do you take me for some sort of AmJack?

Actually, I used up the more flamboyant colors over the last two years.

Damn, you are truly taunting me.

Nice selection RJ. Any chance of detail shots on ANY of these, like the MAGIC photos of mafoofan ... I was actually thinking we need to start a thread like that, would be interesting to see what you get in terms of finish Thanks speed

No. This is folded-up shirt p0rn. I'll unfold these out when I need to wear them. I have nothing to prove vis-a-vis mafoofan and his very nice shirts.

I was not saying you have ANYTHING to prove, by all means.

I would just find it interesting to see the detail finish. We all have preferences, but for those of us that are simpletons (like me, i only have RTW shirts) I'm curios ... Have tried taking some similar pictures, just to possibly start a thread of Detail ... It would be an HONOR if you would post in or START a thread like that. Il upload from my camera promtly, but wont be posting before tomorrow. Speed

You need a carafe of some house Rhone. Lighten up, Francis.
