So, for next winter, what about the fleck/check shirt in rust with the blue and white check. It's a combination of popular colours and a popular shirt design ...

... and, I for one, would certainly wear it. More importantly, it means you are working with a tried and tested fabric and can order the shirts without having to undergo significant periods of sampling (although a shrink test will, of course, be vital).

Love this idea!

I agree about the idea of offering the check/fleck fabric with a spearpoint collar. But I also love the club collar. So I really don't know which one I would favour.

Jason's point about the fleck/check shirt appearing neutral from a distance is particularly insightful. I hadn't thought about this, but it makes real sense. It's a cool shirt that you have to see close up to realise just how cool it is. It's those small details that are so attractive to so many 'vintage clothing' enthusiasts (and, I suppose, to anyone who appreciates dressing well).

To me the spearpoint work shirt is one of the best shirts ever and I really do hope for tall sizes next time or at least another factory glitch in my size.

An Interesting thing happened today.. I washed the cream and rust flanell shirts for the first time, The rust shrunk so much that the sleeves are now to short, but the cream did not... Quite irritating, now have to wear the rust shirt with rolled sleeves only if I don't want a monkey arm look. But why did the difference in shrinking?

**Sean Longden** · 03-08-2018, 01:26 PM

What temperature did you wash them at?

**Rudie** · 03-08-2018, 02:04 PM

Maybe the cream was from a batch the factory actually pre-washed as instructed.

Ordered the polka dot shirt. Half size up to my usual collar size. Hope that's enough.

Why did you size up?

**Unkraut** · 03-19-2018, 09:29 PM

Because they only come in half sizes and most SJC shirts I have are on the small side collar wise. This one I don't want risk to wear with open collar only

I didn't know that.

Disclaimer: apart from polos I don't have that many SJC shirts. But with the half sizes I'd rather play it safe.

you are going to love the polka dot shirt.
