Interesting thing about this shirt - it started life as a Canali semi-spread. There were no collar stays and no little sewn pockets to put them in. As a result, the collar kept curling up annoyingly, always on the same side.

So I had my tailor convert it into a button-down. Must be one of the only poplin butcher-stripe BDs in existence.

@SimplyStylin - don't be too disheartened by your lack of votes. This side of the forum does tend to favour a more "classic", less casual style - even in the Friday Challenges.

Yours was a simple, but well-executed casual ensemble.

I forgot to vote.
