BB America or Sid Mashburn OCBD

[dieselman89]

Hey, looking at purchasing several OCBD shirts and Brooks Brothers Made in America and Sid Masburn have nice sales on their shirts. I noticed Sid Mashburn shirts are made in Honduras or Portugal and don’t recall that always being the case. Does anyone have experience with either of these shirts? Appreciate any feedback.

I have both. The Oxford cloth is basically identical between the two. My BB has mother of pearl buttons, and the mashburn does not. I also think the collar roll on the BB is better. The Mashburn is cut slimmer (which is a positive for me). I’d pick BB if the price was identical, but I think mashburn is $75 cheaper per shirt before any sales, so it is honestly a toss up for me.

When did Sid move away from those buttons? Is it just me, but feel like their quality of the clothes has gone down?

Anyone else have feedback on the quality of the new BB made in America shirts? I have some previous ones and found they shrunk a little and the buttons were small but the shirt was very nice material. I’d also like to know how mashburns shirts are as I have not bought in a while.

I have a recent BB MiUSA ocbd (milano fit) and personally I like my Kamakura (Tokyo slim fit) ocbd better.
