BDs in Cs other that O?

[Sander]

What do you think of button-down shirts in cloths other than oxford?

 

[JohnnyLaw]

I think button-down collars look good on most casual shirts, regardless of fabric.

One of my favorite shirt is a BD Silk Shirt.

Been tempted by a madras pattern on a poplin cloth.

All of my current BD's are OC, but I have no issue with other fabrics.

almost 99% of borrelli button downs are non oxford. but again, theyre more italianate designs (worn without ties, unbuttoned top, without jacket ) so i dont expect them to be oxford

I don't wear BDs, but if I did, I would stick with Oxfords. Can't imagine that many of the lighter cloths have the necessary heft to allow a proper roll of the collar.

Most of my BD are OC, but I have several which are pinpoint or broadcloth and look good.

Linen.

 

[DocHolliday]

Tattersalls also nice with BD.

Yes, they are not altogether uncommon.

Yes, here is an example by UpperWestie which I find intriguing:

One of my favorite BDs is poplin. At least I think that's what it is. Very light weight, smaller weave than oxford.

I have lots. Finer cloth than your typical OCBD, but still oxford.
