They seem pretty decent traditional English shirts. What's your experience, quality-wise?
Edit: Coles, that is.

In my experience, Cole's fit like tents, and the fabrics aren't as nice as either H&K or T&A. All are machine-made, and while Cole's seem fine construction-wise, their collars aren't great -- fairly cardboard-like, unlike H&K and T&A (the latter have a lot of structure, but the stiffness doesn't feel artificial).
I know T&A better than H&K, but I don't think there's much of a difference. They do have their own collar shape, which I happen to like -- and they're made in England, which H&K are not anymore (or am I misremembering?). On sale, T&A actually can be cheaper than the competition next door!
