Thanks. I should have been more specific. I was looking for one like the SS model above. White with hidden button. That is what I never see offered from Spier.

I have about 15-20 SS shirts. With the exception of linen one (intentional) and one other, their fit works well for me. No alterations. The new oldest one I have is about 5 years old and still looks good.thank you!
A while back I asked about these high collar styles and was told that its only custom, so perhaps this changed by now
What about the quality of suitsupply shirts?
I would love to get that style of shirt but $100+ is quite pricey for someone like me who is used to paying $40-50 for a shirt haha, however I cant really find any other brand that offers the same for less so perhaps its worth it after all..? Is the shirt meant to be worn casually due to the fabric?
What about the quality/longevity?
I'm now curious to hear your view on their knitwear collectionI agree with this. Their suits and jackets are great and even with the higher price still feel like good value for money. The shirts on the other hand are not as well made, materials are very hit and miss and often feel cheap, and are expensive vs other options out there.
I really like Kamakura Shirts. They are less expensive than suitsupply, come in lots of styles and are of much higher quality. If you are on a budget Charles Tyrwhitt might also be a good option, good workhorse shirts

My bad, should have clarified I was asking for your thoughts on knitwear from Suitsupply.From Suitsupply or Kamakura? I have a few recent cashmere knits from suitsupply which are good value for money, a lot better than previous years, but they are very slim (I had to take two sizes up) and there is still better stuff out there at a similar price level.
Re: Kamakura I was recently in Tokyo and stopped by their Ginza shop, and saw they now had a clothing line with blazers, trousers, knitwear, etc... I didn't pay particularly close attention, it looked OK but not great, and from what I can see on the website similarly to Suitsupply there are probably better options out there at the same price.

What about your experience with Suitsupply's merino wool and cotton/silk knitwear? Like their long sleeve polo, buttonless polo, crewnecks, etc.

Curious. How tall are you? I’m a 46 Havana as well but have had better success with the XXL knitwear size.I own this year's cotton-silk-cashmere buttonless polo and zip-through merino sweater. The polo material is very luxe. It's super soft and comfortable. Time will tell, but it doesn't seem too durable - like it may pill pretty rapidly. No evidence of it yet, though.
For me, the drawback is the sizing. The fit of their jackets is perfect for me (46 havana / lazio fits perfectly with a slight lowering of the collar to take care of the collar roll I consistently get.) Their shirts and, unfortunately, knitwear are a little baggy in the waist when the shoulders fit, and tight in the chest if the waist fits properly.
With the polo, I trried an experiment. I ordered an xxl, which was slightly too large, dampened it with a water bottle, and put in in the dryer on high for 30-40 minutes. It came out slightly smaller, and better fitting than either the xl or xxl on their own.
For the zip-through sweater, the fit is better, not requiring any alteration (though the sleeves are a bit long for me, requiring turning the cuffs up on themselves). It's also, thankfully, not too long and sits just over the waistband of my pants. The quality seems good here, with the fabric very comfortable, but not as delicate as the polo. It goes over a dress shirt nicely. The zipper seems a tad flimsy, but has held out so far.
Hopefully that's some help to you.
I'm 6 feet even and weigh 210 or so. I usually wear a 36 pants size, so though I'm not skinny, I have more of a drop than most guys. If their knits fit like their sportcoats, I'd get most if not all of mine from ss. Fabrics are nice.Curious. How tall are you?
