Like the stitching on the collar. Great shape to the collar. Nice pattern.

Well, what can I say? I was under the impression that by studying linguistics I would somehow learn how to read and write. That was an error, obviously. At least, I can now track back the words 'read' and 'write' to their germanic roots. How very useful in everyday communication.

Hmm, I don't know. To be honest, I never noticed it before.

Perhaps the collar pattern used was two sizes bigger and he used that trick to avoid doing a proper pattern on a carton?

C'mon - since when have you been afraid to mention anything?

Anyway, while it is off-center, it doesn't impede the fit or style of the collar in any way, so I'm unconcerned.

It looks like the collar is pulling the fronts closer together at the top. Usually you see the opposite. Is the buttonhole too far over?
