...maybe this one is close? but I don't think so... it doesn't have the suede and it's a totally different pattern, but I guess the shape might be similar... I give up... it was a special edition for my local hat store, anyway, at least that's what it says on the inside label...

that's a great shirt. I used to have one from Brooks. Is that one white stripe on blue?
edit: I don't think Brooks has offered that one in an OCBD in a while, but they used to and they should bring it back.

They certainly used to as did J. Press - An Ivy style staple of yore IMO. Not Trad though.
Brownshoe looks more & more lovely with every shot doesn't he? (... It's OK for me to say this as I'm so rugged...)

^ Buy them & PUNISH them - They'll look great. NEVER polish them. When new they look like ****.

My bad ear got slightly better yesterday afternoon and for the first time I realised that both my wife & daughter mutter about me under their breath making the most of my deafness.
To wit:
Cheery, Breezy voice: "Thanks for bringing the wood in!"
Mutter: " It saved us throwing you on the fire."
I record this here just in case something should happen to me one night.

Thanks, fellers.
I do love that shirt, Horace, it's a favorite--vintage Brooks, really soft, with weirdly long tails and a perfect collar. White stripes on blue.
Honestly, I was thisclose to wearing a white OCBD and black knit tie with that jacket, and my glasses. Maybe I can get work as a Tom Ripley stand-in (why, oh why, can't I look like Dickie Greenleaf?).
Jim, I think you're cute too. Get well soon.
Snowbound again.
