Thanks for addressing the summer oxfords. Sent my email in.


Received my denim, indigo chambray, and madras chambray today. My quick first impressions after trying them on.

Denim: awesome material and the white stitch is mainly noticeable on the pocket. Would have preferred tone on tone but the shirt material is too great not to keep and see how it ages. I went with a size up to 16 slim from 15.5 contemporary to deal with the possible shorter sleeves. I'd say the 16 slim is only a hair bigger than my normal size so I think it worked out rather than have short sleeves.

Indigo chambray: Another great fabric, more shine than I thought it might have but it seems to work with the shirt, gives it an almost purple look in some light. I'm hoping the collar still looks ok with a tie but I'm on the fence maybe exchanging for a white linen.

Madras chambray: The best of the lot. Material is simply fantastic. I'm a huge fan of the madras shirts and this solid color is just perfect. Again I personally would have liked the bigger collar but the smaller collar is right at home on this one. Beautiful shirt.

Tried on my madras chambray shirt today - maybe it's my chest (jokes, jokes!) but the smaller collar looks smaller on me than Burzan, it's a bit disappointing. I'd have preferred a larger collar. I'm going ot probably keep it though, provided I decide I'll still wear it frequently, because as Burzan said, the material and color are freaking AMAZING. What a steal of a shirt! Will try to blue slub and dress chambray tmrw since I"m rushing through dinner to go to a concert tonight.

Did you get the soft blue dress chambray (https://www.spierandmackay.com/product_information/6264_soft_blue_dress_chambray)? If so, I would appreciate a picture of it and the madras chambray together.

Head up to the denim shirt crew. Wash it alone.

I didn't make any error but it certainly bleeds so wanted to let you guys know. Wore it yesterday and my neck was blue haha. I can't wait to see this thing break in.
