Super recent Canali lavender stripe dress shirt. Mint. Single button cuffs. 16 1/2 x 36

Closer inspection reveals these (and only these) tags:

Quality is very high, and as said cut is very modern. Fits me like a glove, too. As long as I'm not wearing a jacket. so I guess that makes it, what, a 40? Or 38? (Bbtw, sorry about the crappy cellphone pics)
In other news: that tip on using Photobucket mobile app to post pics to the thread works. THANKS!

I know PutThisOn has posted about vintage Banana Republic in the past "Banana Republic (seller of safari-inspired adventure clothing), not Banana Republic (seller of Eurotrash-inspired business casual clothing.)" I'm not sure if that is because the stuff is rare, high quality, or Jesse Thorn just likes the aesthetic. I think this is the BR that I'm looking for, I've got to say I like the look of it too. Part 60/40 parka (WTF is contrast facing?), with a lot of extra details that I'd expect to see on Filson (Italy), Barbour TO KI TO, or some Daiki Suzuki designed jacket. Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show) It's pretty generously cut... Any one here ever try to have this kind of outwear tailored?
Also, a pretty damn sweet vintage Hercules wool work shirt. I haven't seen too much vintage workwear on this thread, and as you guys are my main source of knowledge, I don't know too much about this one. I've seen the brand on a few vintage workwear blogs, it's winter, the shirt is wool, and it fits... so what the hell right? Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show) The elbows are blown but I figure I can patch them up.
