while i do see the virtue in the "OneSuit" for a budget conscious young professional looking for a versatile staple appropriate in a variety of social and business settings, this just sounds like a very boring, formulaic approach to getting dressed each morning. there is something to be said for building a versatile and interchangeable wardrobe but it strikes me as a bit extreme when it comes to shirts.
why limit yourself to just one? branch out and enjoy the various styles and fabrics that are available to you. experience the joy of wearing a linked cuff on one day, and a two button cuff the next. the simple pleasure in having the option to select a button down collar or spread collar at your very whimsy!
and to echo others - if your shirts are fraying after the 20th wearing to the point of necessary repair then you need a new washing machine end of story.
What type of chambray are using? This thread reminds me of a story that my shirtmaker told me.
An insistent customer ordered six lengths of the famous (infamous?) ASW chambray. The shirtmaker tells the customer to let him make one shirt first to make sure he likes it. The customer insists on having all six at once, so the shirtmaker complies, makes the shirts, and sends them off. The customer receives the shirts and calls the shirtmaker, asking if he used a different fabric. After getting all six shirts, the customer realizes the fabric isn't all that great.
The kicker was that each length of the fabric came pre-cut. If it had come as just one length, the customer would have actually had enough for seven shirts. Although, I suppose that would be just one extra shirt that he wouldn't want.
On the other topic of collar roll, the same shirtmaker makes a pretty good one IMO. I recently posted it in the OCBD collar roll thread:
all your shirts would take links (bad idea)
Gauntlet buttons are obstructive. They ruin the clean line of the gauntlet opening, get snagged easily, and are just one extra thing to fasten in the morning and fall off sooner or later. Hence, since they have no apparent function and provide no aesthetic benefit, I tend to associate them with very finicky dressers who believe dressing well means fastidiously concealing one's wrist flesh, or some such nonsense. They are bad and should be avoided.
I have never had them snag on anything, however.
links are fancier, fussier, and more formal , and there are times when you will want to avoid one, two, or all three of those traits.

Hmm, I can definitely get behind a shorter placket. Then I wouldn't need the button either. I don't recall a time when I have ever rolled up the sleeves of a dress shirt. A casual shirt yes, but then I don't care about stray armhair or gauntlet buttons on those.Okay, maybe I shouldn't have used the word "snag." Rather, they knock against things in an annoying fashion when I'm working at my desk.

Annoying, yes?
Anyway, I'm with you on the gauntlet thing. I don't understand why the length would have to be any greater than on a barrel cuffed shirt, though I've heard it said many, many times. My own shirts and experience just happen to indicate it isn't so.
Also, I just noticed, depending on how you cut the gauntlet for a French cuff, a gauntlet button may not even be possible. The gauntlets on my Matuozzo shirts do not have any overlap. It's just a reinforced **** up the wrist of the sleeve, with bar tacking at the end point. Without an overlap, there is nothing to button together.
OK. I now really don't care about whether shirts should or shouldn't have gauntlet buttons, but I will continue to get them except on my next NSM FC shirt, whenever that may be.
BTW, did I mention that I always insist that the gauntlet buttonhole be horizontal? I like it parallel to the cuff button (not for AK's made up reason).
