Sorry to say, but to me it looks flat and lifeless. I've bent and curved my collar stays a bit to achieve some nice roll. I'd prefer it w/o collar stays however.
@ericgereghty, continuing our discussion of the soft Roma cutaway, here are some photos. The fabric is the Albini Navy Stripe Oxford Chambray (PCF1211).
Here is the shirt, fresh from being professionally laundered, no starch. As you can see, it could use some Viagra.
Without a tie and with collar stays.
With a tie and with collar stays. I wear the collar stays in these photos to show that the fabric is so flimsy that the stays bulge the collar.
FWIW, I've now tried 3 Proper Cloth cutaways. President Cutaway (fused), soft Roma and Londoner. My favorite, by far, is the Londoner. To me the proportions are perfect. It is a true cutaway, but not as aggressively cut as the President and not as in-your-face big as the Roma.
