Hello Baron Kurz
Congratulations on your shirt. Seems really accurately tailored to me. Especially the really extrem collar looks very good in my humble opinion. Hope we will see more shirts like that soon.
Greetings

Great shirt at a great price.

Two nice examples of attention to detail in the copying. Hard to see, but the shoulder yoke on the original is in fact made of 2 pieces, which they copied accurately:
And two points about the bottom of the placket. The little rectangular reinforcing stitching and the useless (it is not functional) button in the box pleat at the base. Weird.

could be a spare button in case another falls off.Originally Posted by Baron Kurtz
looks like a really good copy !
A very successful repro!
Workwear is the new Black.
Yeah, I thought so. But (on the original) it has a small button on the inside as reinforcement. Very much not like you would chuck a spare button on.

The button is probably meant to be fastened to the trousers to prevent the shirt from riding up, don't you think?
Great repros, Baron! How long are the collar points and how high is the collar? Thanks.
On the original the point is 4.25" long & the collar is 1.675" high. The repro has points 4.5", accounted for by the collar being slightly higher at 2". The only other change I made was to have a button added to the collar closure - the original closure needs a stud.
Good idea about the extra button. That could be a reasonable explanation …

Well this ought to be posted on Styleforum as well as an example of just how good Jantzen are.
"Style" forum? Gimme a break, mate.
