Just looked at the AA oxfords the other day. I was there buying a couple of 60/20/20 tees in ridiculous colors. I didn't try it on, but by eyeballing it, the cut of their oxfords seemed a little bit odd. Maybe they're more intended for club or campus wear. I couldn't see putting one on with a suit and tie.

at that price, RL Rugby is better. however, the best oxfords in the sub-BoO market may be styleforum's own Kent Wang x Thick as Thieves. I just ordered 2, and will report back on the fit...

I've got one. His shirts are beautiful, and in a totally different universe than AA, Uniqlo, Gap, etc.

H&M's proper shirts (that come packaged, versus the ones on hangers) are the best OTR shirt available, IMO. Fabric is better than MyTailor's two-ply in a few I own.
