Hi all,

I received this Polo button down some ten or so years ago. It’s so comfortable. I would like to acquire a shirt made of the same type fabric, but I don’t know what to look for.
This cotton fabric does not pill at all, is very soft and very flexible (but not stretchy), very “clothy”. It hasn’t an ounce of stiffness, unlike a typical dress shirt.
I’ve attached a few pics.
Thanks in advance!

Reminds of the perfect collar on a shirt that I have in my closet that I
bought probably 30+ years ago from a now defunct Duke St shop,
Mason and Brian. The collar is frayed and the shirt no longer fits,
but I keep it as a "Platonic ideal". I never bothered to have it copied,
because RTW shirts usually fit.
