    Now, when I do find a decent shirt, I'll buy several.

    I guess I'm hoarding for the "shirtpocalypse", the day when everything is a polyester blend with button-down collar.

    ith:
    Brooks Brothers offers many 'off-the-peg' styles of non-button down collared shirts. Check them out at, www.brooksbrothers.com.

    And while I do like button down collared shirts, I do not like them when wearing a necktie - to me, the button down collar looks 'wrinkly' with a necktie, and not as smart and their unbuttoned counterparts. I like to wear button down collared shirts for casual wear, without a necktie - think pink gingham button down collared shirt with a pair of khakis, a coloured web belt, perhaps a navy blazer (pocket square of course) - if going to dinner or something similar, and a casual loafer or driving loafers with or without socks. I do not wear button down collared shirts with Highland attire, but again, this is my personal preference.

    Cheers,
