Thanks man. Yes, I think I will specify wider spreads in my next order. These in the first order are actually medium spreads based on measurements of a bespoke shirt that I wore to the fitting, but I don't feel it's wide enough after wearing the test shirt a couple of times. Oh well, I suppose it's good to have some variety. Here was a photo of the test shirt in action, I'm pretty sure I would prefer a bit wider spread, but let me know what you think.

Interesting turn of events with shirts 5 and 6. My lovely wife saw the test shirt, and without my knowledge, had them change the collars on the orders she placed for these two. I haven't tried them on yet, but folded up, I much prefer the collars on these. We shall see.

Added bonus shot. My wife supports my obsession, but says I need to have some fun with it. I found both of these under the tree. Also a little symbolism with the dragons (my birth year).

This is Thomas Mason goldline buckingham right? I have the navy version of this. This is my favorite shirting collection by far, of all the ones I've tried - feels great, has just the right amount of body, and the patterns are right up my alley. I have about 50 designs on my shopping list.

The fabric is decadent, but I have no idea. My wife sleceted these without any input (she patently ignores my pre selections/shopping list). I will ask for details next time I'm there. Gonna give this one a test run Tomorrow and can't wait!
