Two button collar, no back pleats, French placket, mitred cuffs = next level $#!+.

I'm so beyond the pocket vs. no pocket debate, I figured I'd wait for the discourse to catch up before weighing in.

You're next step is to lose the buttons from the collar points entirely, and move them to the collar to make four buttons there total.

Admit it.

I don't know the history, but this is my general preference.

I will admit to nothing here. I prefer my innovations to leap off the screen in full 1024 x 768 glory so that you are all made fully aware that my actions are irreversible.

You know, I hate the pocket (I've removed it from some new shirts), and yet it is definitely useful. Style vs. function. Choose one.

You should know that your lack of glasses on Saturday deeply disturbed some of your dining companions. Your lack of OCBD foo style was also a bit jarring. Thank god you wore the one shoes.

I'd like a few of those bullet holster style loops on the arm for my golf tees.

I didn't want to over-Foo you guys. I'm best savored in small bites.

Did the One shoes abominate or dominate?

What happened to all the planning about even wear and showing restraint until the full set was in.

I was weak. I wanted to wear my flannel suit because it was cold and the shoes happened to pair best with it. Also, my follow-up order should be done within a 3-4 months (much faster the second time around). I figure a handful of wearings before then can easily be compensated for later.

For all of the hype, they were shockingly... normal.

The OCDB I'm currently wearing is double button cuffs, tall collar, single breast pocket with button-through closure, and center back box pleat.
