Actually, I have five or six Faconnable items, mostly shirts, but also a windbreaker and the only pair of jeans I own.

All I bought for less than $30 from Nordstrom Rack or eBay.com.

The pen belongs in the interior suit pocket, not the shirt pocket.
I don't wear my suit jacket when I'm attending meetings in my own office. Perhaps I should find another job that doesn't require the use of a pen so that I can foresake these shirts with the breast pocket, eh? But good gosh if I don't like my job. So I'm in quite the quandry.

Ebay is another thing and price depends on the shirt.

A double cuffs, white or light blue will not be @ this price even on ebay.

I do not buy a brand but a shirt that means I will not pay 1 USD for a green or brown shirt with pocket, simple cuff and italian collar even if it is coming from T&A .

What if the pen starts to leak or "explodes?" I'd rather have it wreck a shirt than a suit jacket. Seems to be a little more budget friendly that way.

Had a jacket by Falconable in the mid-80s. Got a couple of shirts at the moment and they're good value for the relatively cheap price.
