NY Times gets it wrong
http://themoment.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/22/feeling-for-club-collars/?hpw
Brooks golf collars were part of the ol' Curric. forevah.
Ol' Harry saw this trend coming. Credit where Credit, etc.
When you think about it, ol' Harry nailed the hole thing and it later appeared in all the papers.
Who's driving whom, eh?
He was too much of an old school WASP to profit it from it.

Re: NY Times gets it wrong
The tab collar doesn't work without a tie either.... The only shirt I wear without a tie is a BD shirt... I used to wear some fancy shirts open neck and without a tie, but nowadays it's just button down shirts. OK, I forgot the Pendletons and Woolrich shirts, and Bowling shirts that we just mentioned... but if we are talking about dress shirts, I really only wear BDs without a tie, and of course I wear BDs most of the time, and I like them just as much with a tie... Club collars are nice when their pinned...

Re: NY Times gets it wrong
Buying decent shirts seems to becoming, in England, increasingly difficult. I really value the plain white Brooks OCBDs I own, because I can wear them with a crew neck jumper or a shirt or seperates. A spread collar, however, looks too 'English' IMO, when worn tieless. You can just about get away with it with a crew neck. I love Viyella Tattersall; my daughter says they make me look like a farmer and, truthfully, they are favoured by rural types. Odd as it may seem, English made 100% cotton M&S shirts are starting to almost take my fancy: on the basis that they are unfussy. I used to virtually live in their lambswool jumpers for work a few years back. I had a nice bottle green v-neck that I took off in a classroom, forgot about, and never set eyes on again.

^ M&S OCBD and also tattersalls fray. OCBD are the worst. Tattersalls fray mostly around the pockets. I do tend to use shirts pockets if they are there. I have not experimented to see if they still fray when not used.
I would not buy another OCBD from Marks even at sale prices.
