Favourite shirt was a Sero ' Purist' circ. '85, managed to get the exact same shirt (pink ocbd) from O'Connells (NOS) around 10 or so years ago,still have it but it's a bit frayed these days, Career Club were great back in the day, have a couple of NOS Troy's from O'Connells, surprisingly the collars are on the short side, BD Baggies I know aren't everyone's cup of tea (double stich on the collar),but I've had a several over the years and liked them, the majority of my current stock are Gitman Vintage, and again I know they're not everone's choice but the fit & cloth are excellent, been tempted by Mercer's but the full cut body puts me off, Gant ( yes Gant) did a 'Co-Op' range about 10 yrs ago which were good, and at £75 a good price, had a couple of JS own brand, couldn't get on with them, the fit on the early ones wasn't right, the quality of the first madras (4/5 yrs ago) wasn't good, and I can't get on with flap pockets, the new JS Ivy shirts look good, but I'd need to see them in the flesh, and those Jake's look mighty fine,

The issue I have with many is fit.  If my collar fits, my chest should be far bigger.  If my chest fits, the collar doesn't.  It's pretty typical and I hate those huge billowy shirts.  I feel a lot of shirt fits haven't updated for a long time.  It rules me out of many brands.
