Me too. Replacement of an old one (here on the right):

More pics:

The dark blue linen is an Albini Sahara, the gingham a Thomas Mason Zephir.

(And yes: gauntlet buttons...)

Please tell us more about your shirtmaker, Ettemadis. I'm not familiar with them.

Mr. Etemadi (singular is with one t and without the end-s) was born in Iran, son of a shirtmaker/tailor, and has been a shirtmaker and alteration tailor (hope I'm using the right term) in The Netherlands sinds 1979. He measures, makes a pattern, cuts the fabric and sews the shirts. I have some pictures of the process which I can post later, if you're interested.

Blog of his son Amir (who cut the collars of these shirts): http://ettemadis.blogspot.com/

Yes, it's a deep, dark blue. I have a jacket in mind with which I intend to wear it—I'll do a WAYWRN with it soon. But other than that, I will mostly wear it without a jacket on hot summer days; we seem to get those more and more over here.

From MyTailer.com:

Mostly TM Gold 140 twill and some DJA. The last at bottom is DJA Cullinan 300 x 300 twill = simply shirting nirvana.

but arent those shoulders a bit too narrow for your actual shoulders?

My later shirts might be a bit wider in the shoulders, but I like them quite narrow for shirts.

Hehe. I haven't heard about your hole button theory yet, fritzl... Please explain. You prefer three? (Two is for women and children, right?)
