Yeah it's pretty neat. I figured if I didn't like it, I could just return the sheets. Fortunately they're what I was hoping for.

Here's a close-up shot of the fabric. It's a regular university stripe.

The yoke is split & chevroned on the outside but just one piece on the inside since the whole shirt is basically built around the inside yoke.

Looks great. I love their bed linens, and they age wonderfully. Who made the shirt?

^ That's a really soft looking collar. Nice work.

Kuro: Is that Charvet bespoke?

no only their mtm/mto option...

but I was recently re-measured, etc. in Paris and they fit nicely (at least to me).

Nice. What's with the "Sussmann" tag - is that some sort of diffusion line?

Unfortunately I can't say. Here's another one though. Woven in France on 18th-century looms! Magical 18th-century looms that somehow produce modern 60" shirtings!

Well okay not really. It's more chinese-made RL oxfords from cut up bedsheets.

Nope from my local mens shop. They make visits to Atlanta now.
