The second LP shirt has what I believe is known as a pajama collar.  IIRC, Cruz Diez posted a pic of such a collar previously.  So, when are you moving to Italy, Sloaney?

I've always heard it referred to as a camp collar and it was popular on sports shirts in the 1950s.  I've had a number of vintage shirts with that type of collar.  On most of them the buttonholes were horizontal and the top button fastened by means of a little loop to a much smaller button.

In the states in the Northeast the big discount village is at Harriman NY (maybe an hour north of NYC).( named for the family of the great statesman Averill Harriman) I ocassionally visit. Saks 5th Ave, has a store called off fifth which can sometimes offer decent bargains on Hickey Freeman suits. Bergdorf Goodman/Neiman Marcus has a large store called Last Call. Mostly devoted to women's clothes but I find the men's section is reliable for very decent prices on America's best hand tailored clothing plus accessories. A decent Waterford Wedgwood store for good irish crystal at decent prices. They may still have a Dunhill store but I'm not sure. They did have very nice English suits which in the listed sizes were a size too small for American bodies. The Brooks store was very hit or miss. The Ralph Lauren store 10 years ago had some of their best line but no longer do. Hardly worth a look. Do have a Ghurka Trafalgar store whicch I haven't entered and an outlet for the great manufacturer of american luggage: Hartmann. The place is worth a visit. They also have 250 stores that I didn't mention.

RL suits always did run small. I like Hartmann. Nice quality, durable. No intials. I'm thinking the tan cloth items with belting leather trim.

The "Dunhill" merchandise seems a little "branded" to my eye.

I like the LP shirt with the pyjama collar. I have a Brioni flannel with the same collar. Paul Stuart's "Cooper" collar is a very nice version, as well.

I hope you are not straying from Mimmo Siviglia permanently? The shirts he made for you looked nice.

The SF Dunhill store--a fairly longstanding establishment--also closed.

I believe the only place is a New York flagship, probably for all the Asian tourists.
