eLuxury's prices are a bit over retail, but they have the widest range of sizes I've seen online

I always assumed, with very little knowledge of clothing construction, that a box-pleat was when there were pleats near each shoulder, effectively making a box-like area between the two. Thank you for enlightening me.

Are you referring to the button on the back of the neck? If so, my BoO white OCBD s/s shirt does but my others do not.

yep, I forgot about their s/s...none of the l/s have it.

It's one of those features that I want all my buttondowns to have (and is one of those things that can be a dealmaker/breaker for me), the full boxpleat and the 3rd button. If BoO didnt at least have the full pleat I don't think I would be interested in them at all. Thom Browne definitely has that little detail correct on his shirts.
