Jez, No apologies needed but you are very kind and thanks.
Last year I posted a link to a nos condition Reyn spponer for Gant popover
It eventually went for a lot of money. I definitely contributed to that high fee and I know
Some of the boys were a little pissed off with me for posting it here for all to see.
There will be other shirts if this one goes above my maximum and its not like
I don’t already have enough, so no worries all round.
I will be bidding though and it could get proper naughty!

I think I may ve the owner of the Gant Reyn crossover... it was around $80-something if I recall; maybe through Fitz's Closet on Etsy?
I think I talked the price down a bit, though still too much for a button down shirt. I'm very happy with it if it's the one in question. Late 50's right? It's the only bd shirt I think I've spent more than $40 on.
Great shirt. Very interesting too.
Oliver I think the one you're referring to was solid blue? I don't know where Fitzgerald of the closet found it but I was tempted. Just a bit big for me. But definitely worth a little extra if you're a label lover!

Yeah that's the one Liam, it was a light blue oxford popover Gant-Reyn crossover... though that Reyn madras is nuts!
I'd never seen it before but I wish I were the lucky owner!

Alright, I'm gonna let you all in on a little secret...
I scored my holy grail from this seller over the weekend: THE triple patch Stanley Blacker hopsack blazer (for $40 no less!)
He/she's got some other great items including a '60s Brooks Makers corduroy sack, Cricketeer tweed, and plenty more but none of you would have noticed because this guy lists everything as new rather than vintage. Anyhow, I'd planned on keeping this a secret but that just ain't right... now that I've got what I've been after for so long, it's time to share the wealth. Add this seller to your favorites and check out his other items:

And here's a handful of just some of the highlights where the listings have expired but gone unsold; you may want to write him about them direct as the starting price is low and this guy's under the radar:
