Looks good EVT.  I may have to consider a club option with my next BB order.

I picked up a Ralph club collar shirt for next to nothin' recently.

It's chambray, kind of dark, almost denim-looking.  I have yet to figure out what to wear it with.  Dark knit tie and cord jacket, maybe?

Aw, thanks, Jim!

I've had several made up by Brooks.  Sadly, they ARE quite stiff, though the oldest ones (coming up on 5 years, I'd guess), are beginning to soften up.  Despite and still, I like them and would recommend them.

I have several from Ralph in both oxford and broadcloth.  The oxford cloth has enough heft to make the collars not too flimsy.  The broadcloth, however, IMO, are too soft.  Without a little starch, the points just sort of hang there like fish scales.

Given the relative shortness of the points on a club collar (can we go back to using Brooks's "golf" nomenclature?), I do think you need a bit of "stuff" in it in order to keep it from curling or just dangling (fish scales).  Ralph's oxfords get that aspect almost perfect.  Brooks's, despite the stiffness, will give you their lovely fabric and perfect fit.

no use for a french cuffed shirt myself, but these DNA groove ones look pretty smart....

I've been meaning to get over to Brooks for some custom clubs.  I'd want something like they did for me with the unlined collar on the BD's.

They claim to not have the patterns on the oldest Brooks shirts anymore, which is a pity.  But the BD's they did for me in 'eritage cloth was top clobber.

Now, if we can just get that green again.
