Thanks Carl. First of all, I intentionally used Silverline for all the shirts and I don't think any of the shirts' fabric looks too smooth or too finely woven for this kind of shirt. I understand what you mean and avoided that (or tried to).
Second, I'm not sure how to check but I specifically requested no fusing or lining in the collar. I'm not sure if I know how to check but this seems to be the case. I'll see how it looks after the washer.
Third, by cuff style you mean the triple barrel cuff idea? I'll see how it looks, but so far, I think it works with the dressier BD shirt I wanted. Again, I think I have a personality that cannot help but lend a bit of reserve or formality to the clothes I wear. Maybe it depends on the buttons, but I thought the ones they used were okay (but you would know better). They used 16 ligne 2.5 mm thick trocas instead of anything wider or thicker as I am a shorter fellow. (Maybe all I subconsciously wanted from a BD was to have MOP buttons on the collar, for all I know.)
Finally, why does a split yoke not go with a BD collar? I didn't know this and just wanted the detail for the houndstooth and stripe shirts.
