Clouseau.The article by Gary Oldman was a great read for me ,we are the same age so i could see many similarities ( ok i dont play the piano or support Millwall ) with his clothes in the 70s and working/saving to buy them.Today i got that Paul Smith navy blue jeans belt that you put a picture up of many pages back,it is really good quality and i got it in a sale for half price ! thanks for the information....any ideas for a white,slim fit short sleeve button down ?

Botolph,I have to say that shirt has the "classic " look IMO,not surprised that you found it !.

I think too this Gary Oldman's interview was really good. His evolution (on the clothing style subject) is interesting. But of course we don't have the same budget (& renown) as a famous actor... So it's pretty difficult to always wear the last Paul Smith suit...His insights too were interesting, and rang a bell on several subjects we discussed here.

On short sleeve button down i won't be very original. I recently bought a white slim fit Ben Sherman ("soho fit") i quite like. Button down, but with a small collar. No chest pocket or back pleat. So it is quite different to a regular Ben Sherman. With a modern twist IMO. Bought it during the sale. Was cheap. Nice fit.

I have the very same one. Next to a dark navy one, it's the one I wear the most.

And for the price of a Brutus Trimfit but made for the normal-cut fellow, and won't disintegrate. Bulletproof shirts.

Just while we are plumbing the absolute depths of bad taste:

Would not know mate i was 10 in 1968 and the Ins and Outs of what the big boys wore was lost on me . All i could do was look on and drool.

At playtime in our junior school , all the boys used to mob up under the covered bit and sing football songs ( did anyone else do this ? )

It looks like they're quite a bit more expensive now that the company's been sold! 280 quid/480 bucks for a 'Cuta?! The price has literally doubled. Anyroad, here 'tis:
