Better to have trolled and lost than... well you know the rest.
What makes me laugh is them saying to get a life... if life was really worth living they'd have never have needed to invent the internet.
It's a bit like Match of the Day, you just get to see the highlights, and some dribbling.
Don't Mercer come closest? Troy were beautiful shirts - far more so, in many ways, than Makers.
I think I'm going to have to say Yes. Makers is all over now unless you explore vintage. So reluctantly I am now a Mercer fan.
But I still cry in my sleep for Troy & Sero....
Oy...
Probably just me, but Sero never did drive me wild with excitement. I'm probably talking arse here, but good Troy was possibly better than Mercer (?). I've become (somewhat to Ms displeasure) a seeker of vintage Makers (and rather unusual ones, like the one from Michael I'm wearing now). I've been disappointed on two occasions recently, though, when a. the shirt failed to arrive and b. the wrong shirt arrived. The first was a nice subtle green gingham, which I particularly wanted. The second I have passed onto a forum member, just as a second-best item.
I'm still toying with the idea of a Mercer button-down Tattersall, with a third button and a locker loop. Don't know whether I'll ever get around to it, though.
Sero were division two. Still good tho'.
Just out of interest, where would you rank JS shirts amongst the above names, or would you?
Good Troy, as Oo Bop has, was very good. When he gets his shirt back from his shirtmakers he should photo the lable - THAT'S the Troy you want. The later Troy with the different lables was the product of a company going under & clutching at popularist straws. Purist Ivy they were not.
IMO.
Makes sense. The JSA is a very good medium ground body shape - Not skinny, not a tent. Sero-ish ?
