yep-- i always get a pocket on my shirts, unless they come RTW without. I carry a pen in that pocket, or the church offering envelope like my father has always done. a personal detail for me, I guess.

Nice choice of buttons. Gives the white shirts a bit more punch. I'll have to try that myself sometime.

What color are the buttons? I kind of think they make it look liek a chef's shirt.

I like the patterns.


Thanks J. No overlap problem, just smashed up a bit from bringing them home in a shopping bag.

Thanks. That one is a pink/blue check, 140s cloth, I think.

I ordered 4 flannel checks yesterday, perfect for fall.

I did. Three are from the new Alumo book and one is TM Gold line.

All of mine are spread collar, though. I really like the soft roll of Borrelli and Barba BDCs, so I'm going to stick with them for pure sportshirts.

After debating button down, I got mine with a wide spread (and a pocket). A bit of a mongrel but I couldn't care less. I'll wear them with sportcoats and ties, as well as just sweaters. The button down that Geneva made for me with that linen/cotton is nice, but I don't love it.

I went the same way with mine J. No pocket and French cuffs on one, though. I'm a big fan a very soft rolling collar for BCDs and I didn't think they could improve on what's available.

Thanks L, though much of the pattern detail is lost. I'll try to take some close-ups soon.
