Popover OCBD but unfastened buttons.
Band collar shirt!
Untucked 1960’s OCBD.
1930’s polo shirt.
Polo shirt with loop buttons.
Robert California in a polo shirt and sportcoat.
Modern one piece collar. Not the biggest fan of it myself.
Variety of sport shirts.
Groovin’ High sportshirt.
Wide collar on this 1940’s sportshirt. The lack of a collar band is what allows the collar points to lay flat and have it’s unique look.
Kenji Cheung in the Bryceland’s coral gab shirt.
Terry Cloth (towel) shirt.
Work shirts. Note the actual point collar instead of the sport model that lays flat.
A (spear)point collar nad big chest pockets are the mark of a workshirt.
Bryceland’s sawtooth westerner.
Western shirts have long point collars, yoke stiching, pearl snaps, and chest pockets with point flaps. Two “teeth” are what make it a sawtooth.
Black rayon gabardine. Doesn’t always have to be denim!
Q&A
From One (1) Casual Boi: I’m an infrequent suit-wearer trying to buy One Good Suit for those occasions. Anything you guys recommend in the $800-$1000 range? Any tips for versatility? Is it a mistake to get a brown suit? I just think they look cool.
A: Spier & Mackay RTW or try to get MTO if you can. Or you can get a custom suit from our friend Dave Fugel of Atelier Fugue, maker of my custom cotton suits. Other MTM like Tailors Keep or P. Johnson will be closer to $2k.
