Cheers,
Thanks for this - Brooks Brothers has plenty of shirts in my size, and they just so happen to be running a fairly substantial sale. I just got away with 5 shirts for under $200. And all of them are without button-down collars (they've got pockets tho... I tried my best).
I was just telling my wife that as a kid I remember reading a short story that featured a wealthy man who wore Brooks Brother's clothing. For some reason, that story kept me believing that BB's items were of the highest quality, but out of my fiscal means. Glad to see that has been dispelled somewhat.
Have fun and throw far. In that order, too. - o1d_dude

Glad you found a good source.
I was going to suggest Cabelas.
In the past, Eddie Bauer had been my source but they have cut back on their "Manly" sizes!
Cabelas is my new go-to store.

Quite right Joshua. Brooks Brothers certainly do produce quality made shirts at reasonable, 'get what you pay for' prices. I do not mind saving a little money here and there, then purchasing the quality, well made shirts that, if well taken care of, will and should last a lifetime. Presently, in accordance with my budget, style, fashion sense, and preferences, I only puchase and wear shirts (both day, evening, and formal) from either House of Bruar or Brooks Brothers. Simply my taste and preference.

Well, out of all the shirts I procured from BB - this one is my favorite - a white and yellow gingham check with blue pinstripe windowpane...

Although it's a faux pas, I am wearing my bonnet with the Davidson badge in it, regardless of my tartan. My Davidson kilt is being made and I simply wanted a chance to showcase the bonnet now that it's been properly "jocked" with 3 soaks and wet-wearings. Apologies for the lack of a shave too, it's a pretty lazy Saturday around here.

As you're wearing the Caledonia tartan (If I recall correctly), i don't believe it's a faux pas to wear the cap badge! That would be a good way to show your affiliation.
