Order placed. Can't wait to try them for casual wear. May do a run of mtm for use with jackets.

Button downs as in Casual button down collars or regular shirts? What suit in particular are you looking for? The next suit group in next month, but that's just a fill in, then another group in May for a bunch of Sharkskin in Mid Blue, Dark Blue, Light Gray, Medium Gray.

I was looking for a med grey suit for a wedding in July and August.

Both casual and regular button downs. I already have the basic blues and whites. Any pink or lavender coming up?

Hi Rick,

This is me in an older oxford from a few years ago in a 15.5" contemporary, at the time the sleeves were short but I know they are a little longer now.


Would you think the 15.5" contemp or slim might be best? I think the sleeves could stand to be a little slimmer but maybe the body seems not bad considering it isn't washed or pressed.

The 15.5 Slim will be too tight in the chest, but slim out the sleeves and midsection. The sleeves can be tapered quite easily if needed on the 15.5 Contemporary.


Sounds good, I will try the contemporary again and see how they feel after a wash and press. Just placed the order for a couple along with last years blue madras (had to get another, love them). Really looking forward to checking out these oxfords in person. I snagged the ocean blue and the burgundy, both look to be fantastic colors and just different enough from oxfords I already have.

Wow, love the look of the new oxford cloth button downs. Now will they be offered in classic fit at any point because for those of us who go work out at the gym on a regular basis the contemporary and slim fits don't work as well.

Yes, the next run will include Classic. Actually the next production run will include Classic in a variety of fabrics.

Cool, do you have an idea when roughly?

Does anyone have a picture of the new extreme spread with a tie on (preferably also with a coat)? Would be best with a side-by-side picture of regular full spread too.

Which one does the general consensus of SF would recommend for formal wear with a suit?

Sorry if this isn't the most appropriate place to ask but........I'd like to place an initial bundle custom order but want to ensure I am happy with the measurements. Can I commit to buying three but get only one made initially to allow me to tweak the measurements for the other two if necessary? Thanks!
