Spear point collar shirts

[Jerekson]

Got my white herringbone Luxire shirt in today. Absolutely blown away. My new favorite shirt.

I will post photos of it as well as the 30's shirt in earlier post shortly.

Does anyone have a close up pic of Matt Deckard's Glacial Blue stripe? Perhaps with a white collar?

Thanx!!!

Anyone?

Hmn.... I wonder then could I send them one of my CT Shrits with the specification of a different collar...?

Yes, I am sure this would work. Also it is Iess of a risk if you send a worn out shirt compared to sending a vintage one.

Bruce Wayne, sorry I don't own one. Maybe ask MD directly? PM or email?

A rather nice, soft collar British shirt of the mid 1930s:

I just finished this shirt, from a 1930s pattern. It's the first attached collar mens shirt I've made. The collar that came with the pattern wasn't as long, but I didn't like how it turned out so I ripped it off and made this one, copied from a 1930s original but keeping the pattern's stand. The stand is a little lower than it should be, the next time I use the pattern I'll use the stand that matches the collar.

Great work!

Nice collar shape. Is the shirt full front opening?

Hugh Frasier as Capt. Hastings.

I wonder is that an Angels or a Darcy (though they'd still have been the Vintage Shirt Company when that was filmed, I think?) Hastings is wearing?

The Angels pull-over shirts are really nice - picked one up a couple of months ago. I might well buy more. Excellent shape for wearing with a tie under a leather jacket. I'd ideally like the option for a sleeve an inch longer, but that said the sleeves are by no means too short. Photo eventually....

Very nice indeed.

Thanks, gents. TT, it is a full front opening.

The real deal from the fleamarket:

French 30's shirt by "Paris Cravates" with exchangable collar sewn to the shirt.

Salmon-color birdseye sports shirt... seems to be homecrafted. But what a soft and long collar!

Blue-striped shirt from Vienna... this one is probably early 50's.

How do you keep doing it? Brilliant.

 

[Fastuni]

Dunno. Must have done something right to win the favor of the old garment goddess.

Love the first one.
By a happy coincidence, the third shirt I ordered from Natty has a similar shorter curved collar.

Recently picked up a spear point in white. Finally have a dress shirt with long enough collars to allow me to use a collar bar I got from my father-in-law. Earl

I thought my recent order from Natty shirts deserved a post.
They did a very good job:




I asked for workwear eye buttons, and they pleasantly surprised me by using a patterned metal button that goes well with the colour of the shirt.
Some observations:

• the customer service is superb, I must have been an annoying customer as I sent many messages to ensure that all the details I wanted were implemented, and many more correcting errors I made, and I was greeted with politeness, patience and efficiency.
• they are quite happy to make any shape of collar, and it is easy to select an unfused collar during the order process.
• Other than the collar, I have not pursued a vintage fit, so I do not know how succesful they would be in making a full pledged reproduction. Personally I like a slim fitting shirt.
