IMO, you can't go wrong with any of their oxford cloth. But, you must like oxford cloth

How come? I only have one Kamakura shirt and it's a white OCBD. I like it. If you don't know if you'd like Oxford cloth with a semi-spread collar, I think it'd be fine.

Btw, I wasn't sure if I was defining graph and tattersall checks correctly, so I googled tattersall vs graph checks and the first thing that came up was this post by Bruce Boyer. Fortunately, he defines it as I was (tattersall has more than one color and can vary in size).

Also, he agrees w/ my preference for checks over stripes. Sorry, D.

If you're an American and don't like oxford cloth, it's over the wall with you

I don't think I have worn oxford cloth since I was 10 when my mom was dressing me like a Kennedy.

I didn’t like the white Oxford cloth compared to the blue in my previous experience. The blue softened up with wear while the white oxford remained starch like. We’ll see, placed the order for the white semi-spread oxford and blue spread collar broadcloth.

It is actually a lie, I had a few Mercers which I liked but had to chop them up to make them fit me how I like. I ended up giving them away and the only button down collar shirt I own is bespoke and not oxford cloth, I know the heresy.

To me, there is nothing better that a white, thick Oxford cloth BD shirt that is well worn to wear with jeans.

Does anyone know the SPF of rayon? And how would you remove beer and tortilla stains from rayon?

Vox posted an outfit today on IG of him in a $128 J. Crew suit.

Honestly ... it looks pretty good.

I wonder what he had altered

 

[cbusguy]

i have the same suit on here, but in navy. it's not a great picture tho. no alterations on my suit. i like it a lot. i bought one in cotton/linen last summer too. i've been wearing them to weddings and other more formal summer things. not as nice as the eidos or drake's seersucker suits, but they work for me

I scored a seersucker suit on eBay from Paul Stuart when they were made by Caruso. Was interested to see what the hubbub was all about before taking the bespoke plunge with a fabric I wasn’t familiar with. It’s outrageously light and comfortable. I tried the JCrew version but it seemed more stiff. Not sure if it was a different fabric (weight? canvassing?) but it did look nice on the hanger.
