I have a bunch of shirts made from the philips-boyne (not philips & boyne...) oxfords.

The fabric is fairly heavy, stiff, and a bit scratchy. It takes forever to break in, and I imagine lasts a very long time; but the oldest shirts I have are only about 2-3 years old.

I found a picture of the chambray on P&B's website. Is it really that dark?

Thoughts on getting the P&B chambray as a casual weekend shirt? Or is the fabric itself also not to your liking?

Thanks - ET

Have you guys looking for casual fabric ever considered just hitting your local fabric store and seeing what they have?

Sounds like the sort of thing that really calls for single link cuffs.

When I saw that last pic I thought "Hey, he has the same fabrics as I do!", then I realized it is my pic. :lol:


I was too lazy to take a picture, sorry about that:)


Some great stuff there.

I'm sorely tempted by that sharkskin...



There is more stuff, I just need to get around to taking pictures. Probably 5 more pieces. Some moonbeam, breanish and cheviot tweed from Lovat.

Any chance you'll be parting with some gun club check?
