It's not going to affect smaller companies anyway-
From the article:
"Companies would be exempt if they have less than $1 million annually in out-of-state online and other so-called remote sales, such as catalog and mail-order business."
This is going to hit Amazon and their ilk.

That's good, Scott, but sales tax is still wrong no matter how you slice it. Businesses shouldn't be punished for trading goods/services and customers shouldn't be punished for supporting a business...regardless of its size, great or small.
I guess it's a loud and clear message to remain under a certain threshold and to not reach higher. Punishing success and talent seem to be the order of the day in the now.

My understanding is that a spread collar is reckoned to be suitable for a Full Windsor Knot (the only one I know how to tie). I like the widely-spread ones (I guess the "English Spread"?) which 20 years ago were very difficult to find here, but now show up at ordinary shops if you keep your eyes open.
Pipe Bands here in the USA, however, usually go with shirts with the very pointed collars... don't know why. These collars really "choke" the necktie in my opinion.

I couldn't agree more. Very 1990's looking.

Thanks for clearing this up....I have to admit that I wasn't quite clear what was meant by tattersall and have always meant to ask....

Most of the Neo Traditional (online) British shirtmakers and the traditional ones, too, have a handful of tattersall shirts, usually under "country" or some similar category. Almost all of them have spread collars. Try Charles Tyrwhitt or TM Lewin or Joseph Turner. They all have sales and promotions regularly, but the best price seems to be about $40- $45 each. Lands End sometimes offers spread collar shirts in checks, but I don't see any tattersalls in their current offerings.
Some take the high road and some take the low road. Who's in the gutter? MacLowlife
