Arket Shirts
Currently looking for shirts particularly oxfords and I saw the ones from Arket and was just wondering if anyone here had any exprience with them. Also open to suggestions for other brands. I'm in Germany for reference so I would prefer something from the continental EU

Never tried Arket I have oxfords from both Portuguese Flannel and Asket and I think they're both great. Personally I prefer PF (I have about 5 of theirs) but Askets are also great!
pf interests me how is the fit and the collar?
I'm not sure I fully understand the question. I'm a fairly skinny 192cm and my XLs fit great. Kind of a classic fit, not to baggy or too slim. Sleeves are a hair short for me but I have long arms
As for the collar I find it sturdy and comfortable
what I mean is if the collar feels like it is the right size and has a nice roll to it. I usualy go with an xl as well although I'm 1.94 and not skinny
so I may need to size up
Yes the collar feels like a nice roll. It definitely isn't the vintage style extended roll that you'd see on a Wythe or Gitman though, but it's more than the Asket
Not sure where you are in Germany but they seem to have a bunch of stockists: https://www.portugueseflannel.com/pages/stores

I just bought an OCBD shirt from Arket last weekend during a time in Berlin , it’s great . I’m 174cm and 79 kilograms and I choose Medium. It fit perfectly . The cut is straight, maybe slightly slim. I also have 2 OCBD from Portuguese Flannel, the Bellavista model. I was surprised how thin they are. But it will be great for Spring .
Yeah I mainly shop online so that should not be an issue. The Wythe ones look great as well but are a bit out of my price range and I have not seen them stocked. I may need to buy more from Cultzim and then convince them to stock Wythe. I was also thinking of Kamakura but I'm a bit weary of japanese brands because of sizing
