Epaulets on shirts would be much more ideal for hot climates where jackets aren't neccesarily required. Perhaps the African continent.

Re: A trio of Trad Shirts
I have to get on the record and submit my thoughts on this. I sincerely think that button down shirts and double cuffs are wrong. Button down shirts are an excellent choice in casual shirting. Double cuff shirts are an excellent choice in more formal shirts. When you combine both of these elements, you get, IMHO, mush. IE, a shirt that is neither casual or formal.
IMHO, this type of shirt is the sartorial equivalent of a DB coat with notch lapels...................

Tomasso,
I've been thinking about getting a BD with double pockets but wasn't sure how it'd look. Your photo has me convinced to try it.
Cuffthis,
I think you're absolutely right. After seeing a well-dressed guy in a tab collar shirt with French cuffs that looked rally great, I've come to consider that perfectly acceptable as well (in addition to a spread collar).

I loved that button-down round collar in that 1952 ad.

Re: A trio of Trad Shirts
Horace, have you run into any ads for Middishade Clothing ? Have you any info on the company? They were based in Philadelphia.

THanks for the pic. I'll keep a look out. I did notice, in older publications, many more suitmakers from Philadelphia. Gordon was one. I don't recall if GGG was the same as Gordon or another name entirely.

Re: A trio of Trad Shirts
Interesting size & placement of that flapped pocket - It looks lower down the shirt body and larger than I've seen before. Or is that just me?
