Thank you. I do not know exactly, it was from a "Finamore special" book, but I think it is Carlo Riva.

The recent white shirt thread inspired me to take advantage of the great prices at TM Lewin. These just in:

Nice. Not normally into contrast button stitching but this works. How does it button up though - the placement of the two buttons looks odd?

I like contrasting colored stitching for button holes. Red is a bit bright for me but I used to order Borrelli blue shirts with dark blue button holes and button thread.

I think a white OCBD with red contrasting button holes could be fun to wear with a navy blazer.

Nope. I made this from a Singaporean tailoring shop - Joe's.

Yes it's a bit odd, but it doesn't really bother me much.

Well, buttoning only the lower collar button gives a bit more of a 'breathing' space when wearing a tie.

Oops.

I think it will look pretty good.

I've done a white shirt using black stitching for button holes and greyish square buttons. Again probably not to everyone's taste.

Thanks. I decided to be a bit adventurous.

Erm...I went to my tailor and got it made. I forgot what brand the fabric belongs to.

Carl, what is your delivery time? And PB how long did Joe take for you? I really like the one shirt I've received so far from Mytailor (2 to come) but waiting a couple of months for shirts seems a bit excessive, especially when I have only the one shirt that really fits.
