Heavyweight division oxford shirts?

[Lucifer]

@Giles:

Our beloved Geo, who recently passed away, was a director of a construction company.  He wore his with a tie and loved it…..

Won't get a better recommodation than that Thanks!

there are a lot of quality shirt makers out there
I'm not sure of heavyweight ones though, I've not gone looking
I prefer Hamilton, I have slowly acquired 8-10 from them and donated most of my other dress shirts

and my IHSH-21 goes to work as well…. I never have to wear a tie though
come to think of it I'm not sure I could get the top button done

Iron heart options i would go with the following:

ihsh-21 heavy weight but i wear it year round
ihsh-44 & ihsh-46 not what you would expect i would wear both of these year round

now other shirts that i think are well made & are in-tune with social concerns are apolis & outlier.  they are very well constructed & the outlier in general are put together in a really unique way.  i won't say either are heavy weight, but they are great shirts.  here are links for both.

These shirts were being sold at ACL at one point and then, one day, disappeared. Any idea where they are available for purchase online?

sold remaining stock on gilt about a week or sooo back

edit to include: or you can contact the guy that runs the site & see if he has any available for purchase.  you know the saying about a closed mouth doesn't eat

Thank you very much! And yes, socially responsible clothing is important! Thanks for bringing it up.

shoreman, monday speaks truth
Hamilton sells through their own site, their customer service is great
they also sell the 1883 line through some shops around, I've seen some online at unionmade SF, though smaller selection

[madmonday]

yeah before the end of winter i have a shirt that i have made up my mind to get from hamilton.  depending on how that goes, i might purchase one or two more for my fleet of semi-professional lookin' shirts.

**just different to the flannels i usually wear to work.  folks at my job say either i'm a lumberjack or a member of some sort of secret flannel society.  i tell them it's closer to the second assumption

@madmonday:

or a member of some sort of secret flannel society.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA -  this is excellent! 

[jacoavlu]

shhhh monday
the first rule of the secret flannel society is you do not talk about the secret flannel society

Yeah…my buds have come to call me "Al" in reference to the character from Home Improvement–because of all the plaid. Ha, I've managed to rationalize it into being a good thing.

One is never disappointed by the quality of IH. So pick up your choice between the great white (IHSH44), blue or chambray.
The great white is really good, I wear it all the time.

In the Oxfords: I just received a Spellbound Oxford which looks great and feels good.
I saw that Nigel Cabourn is also doing an Oxford. But at the retail price of 360€ (500$) I guess I would rather go to Place Vendôme in Paris to the Charvet shirt shop and get myself a tailor made shirt or half-tailor.
