ocbd options (<£100) in eu/uk?
Hi, I've been going down the ocbd details rabbit hole and now find it hard to find an acceptable ocbd (collar length mainly). Obviously I have options like Berg & Berg, Drake's etc. But the starting point for those brands are about £150 and up, and there are not a lot of second hand shirts on the european market on ebay, vinted, etsy etc. Charles Tyrwhitt has been the go-to rec from what I gather, but they now seem to do shorter collars, and I have had bad experiences with their vintage shirts not fitting as well as I would have liked.
So my question is, what classicocbd options are there on a £100 budget in the eu/uk?

These sometimes go under £100 in sale season, but are £5 over otherwise. https://allbluescostore.com/product-tag/kamakurashirts/

I'm not enjoying their collar length and no chest pocket. I will have a look at proper cloth though! Thanks
fwiw I am really happy with Proper Cloth
I was under the impression they were an american company and I would have to pay import tax on their items
first part yes
second part no
they ship straight from the factory in Vietnam
and taxes are pre-paid and included in the price
for EU anyway, check what their policy for UK is
yeah I will have a look, uk can be funky now after brexit lol
I got this one recently
the picture is from before the first wash, so the fit is a bit loose
Looks very nice and it fits you well! I would def be happy with this shirt given it fit me similarly. What fit is this specific shirt?
let me find the specs
Light Blue Oxford Cloth PCF617, Soft Ivy Button Down Collar, Soft One Button Cuff, Rounded Pocket, Roma Buttons, Soft Wide Front Placket, Split Yoke, Rounded Hem
and then the size is my personal measurements
they have a few methods for providing measurements
easiest one is measuring a shirt you already own and like the fit of
that shouldnt be a problem. Thank you!
happy to help :)
does your shirt have a straight hem?
like this
uh
I think so
but you can customise that as well
like how long and what shape
ah okay
