It's going to be a good weekend!

I needed a new shirt to go with my new Canali suit and, having read a lot of positive reviews of PC, took a chance on them. I ordered: White Oxford, point collar, split yoke, MoP buttons, French cuffs. Can't wait to see it.

The Spiaggia shoes will be an awesome addition to my AE mini-collection. I went back and forth between blue and white a few times, but ultimately decided that, while white is definitely sharp, blue was a little snazzier and I'd wear them more often.

Photos forthcoming... :001_smile

The new Proper Cloth shirt was just delivered by FedEx one day early. The shirt came securely packaged in a nice box and folded with a minimum of clips (no pins!). Construction details are excellent for this price point, with some evidence of handwork. Fabric is beautiful. Nice buttons!

Fit is excellent, with no blousing or unintended pleats around the waistline. The shirt does need to be properly pressed. I briefly considered requesting an additional 1/2" of sleeve length, but decided to keep this one as-is and simply add 1/2" to my stored dimensions for future orders.

Two shots of the shirt on the dummy. Kindly ignore: the khakis, my need for a haircut, and the horribly dirty bathroom mirror. I've already chided my wife about that one - in the nicest possible way, of course! :001_smile

Shoe photos to follow in a few days. Might need to add a pair of McAllisters to my Spiaggias. They are on sale, after all. Fully rationalized...
