My new tailorstore.com shirt arrived in the mail today...my fifth attempt and the sizing is about right. Having seen the shirt now, I can't decide if I like the contrasting collar/cuff. Stripes are dark blue.

For whatever reason, I always think the shirtmaker ran out of cloth. But that's me...

The similarity of colors makes the shirt much more subtle, and less predictable, than I expected when I first read "contrast collar and cuff shirt."

i love contrasts, in your case it works with out looking to gordan gekko because its white on white.

i wish i could pull off a blue and white stripe with contrasting collars and cuffs but i cannot.

Are you wearing a t-shirt underneath?

Nice shirt. I have a similar contrast shirt but my stripes are black. I wear it with a basic black suit and a similar tie to yours as well.

I like the shirt, however i do think if the stripes were louder it would even better. The shirt could do with a good iron.

I like it. I know some people have said they want it to be bolder but why not have subtle shirts as well? Its nice to have diversity.

The contrast collar here is interesting; it's something I normally don't think of and I was expecting to see a louder contrast when I read the title of the thread.

I personally don't like contrast collars but I like this. Great work.

+1. That's the main issue for me.

I don't wear them every day, but from time to time I like them. Although I have mine made up with a contrasting collar, but self cuffs.
