It seems that they launder and press the shirts before delivery (smells like they used Tide detergent to me).

You mean the linen? It's a great color and has lots of body. Interestingly, it is one of their least expensive fabrics (Grade IV). The color on the other shirt didn't come out under artificial lighting. It is actually a light blue with a textured weave.

Ah, yes, even better. I got the blue for the other shirt, but not the texture.

poorsod, I see that the buttons are [relatively] thin -- similar to those English shirtmakers use.

Is this Charvet's standard?

I assume it is their standard. I didn't ask for anything special. They individually shank each button as their default, and shanked buttons are the only thing I ask for regarding buttons.
