Savile Row Co in the UK does them for $55 and they deliver internationally.

Yes, I would thoroughly recommend these guys. The only negative is that the club collar only comes with a single-layer cuff (convertible type which can be buttoned or worn with links). I'd prefer a double cuff, but it's not that big a deal. I tend more often to wear mine with a bow, for which they are superb. I can also recommend their pin collars (though I would suggest buying a shorter pin separately, as they're designed to accommodate a larger knot in a modern tie, the ones that come as standard). Definitely, as has been suggested, keep an eye out for sales. I just wish they did an old-school spear collar, and/or their pin collar on more than just white. Great range of shirts, but like everywhere else these days dominated by spread collars.

Feraud, how do you find the cloth on that Land's End shirt? Is it like an oxford cloth for a button down shirt?

I have owned the Savile Row Co. shirts and rather like them but I wish they hadn't discontinued the cream ones (preferably pocketless). I have two of their cream, one white, and one blue club collar shirt and they are great with my English cut tweed three piece suits. Failing that, I've had older shirts sent to Mike Maldonado (http://www.collarreplacement.com/) in Texas to have their Lido (club) white collars put on to shirts (I know, some would not like that white collar and cuff look) but I needed the repairs done as the shirt bodies were still in good condition. I think, if memory serves, he was able to take part of the shirt tail and make a new collar from it (if you don't mind the hidden part of the tail being replaced with white cloth).

The cloth is a chambray and a bit thinner than some of the Oxford weaves I've seen.
Thanks for that link Cookie!

Just wearing the blue one today. Well made but the material in the white is softer than the blue. Mine are not chambray BTW they are the 100 Imperial Broadcloth 2 ply. That is higher end PF. There is a threefa deal going.

This one is very nice for when you go round to see Nucky but only very big and small sizes. http://www.paulfredrick.com/Catalog...nt1=STRING|Clearance|Yes&tpc=22&psno=20&rev=1

Yes. I don't have any experience with them but just from the pictures they look great. The stripes have a vintage feel and don't look like the usual "business shirts". I have some bow ties coming my way from the UK and another club collar shirt would be a good match with them...but I am spending too much at the moment.

I just found 2 great RL Rugby club collar shirts today at a TJ MAXX "Runway" store (which is a location that carries more designer labels). Pretty great for $34.99.
