If you can live with the slight deviations from tradition, Merc is the best. If you insist on raglan sleeves and the proper back design, then Jump the Gun is probably the best these days. I don’t like the fit on Barracuda at all. I like Ben Sherman for red harrys, solely because you don’t have a...
