Terrible photo quality, but here are some NOS BB OCBDs from O'Connell's. Finally got 'em in.

I love that sewn details. Also featured on an Anna Mattuozo shirt from an asian forum member.

I´m gonna ask Finamore if my next shirt can have those details on shoulders and collar.

How does it looks?

Am I the only one that insists on edge stitching on collars? I'm sure the Barba is a nice shirt, but I don't like how you can't stick the collar stays in all the way to the edge and the corners invariably get bent.

I'm sure you're not the only one, NOBD recently showed a shirt with edge stitching and IIRC it was well received. Personally I'm not a fan of the edge stitched look and I haven't had problems with bent edges. And I remove the collar stays.
