Back To The Button-Down
Great article from 35 years ago...

"It's nice," he says, "to know you're right."
That's a great line from Brooks Brothers.
They never change, which means they'll always be fashionable once in a while.

Re: Back To The Button-Down
Coincidentally, I'm wearing today, for the first time, a never-worn (until today) Brooks Brothers OCBD, Made In The US, purchased probably 20 years ago, that we found hanging in my dad's closet yesterday. Billowy as all get out, but, having been insane to have disposed of my own US-made BB shirts years ago, this is a definite trophy shirt which also has fond memories associated with it. No joking, I got goosebumps as I buttoned the BD collar!

Re: Back To The Button-Down
Outstanding. If you can combine American traditional shirts with your custom Siviglia, then I can wear my own Brooks oxford button-downs, my Bills Khakis (including the heavy wool plain front cavalry twills), my Dad's J Press herringbone topcoat, etc. You made my day (well, the morning anyway). It doesn't have to be Cenci and Barbera only. Thanks
Regards,
Steven
