Rounded-collar shirts

[volatile]

Do you all approve of round collar shirts? I really like the unusual look of them, but can never quite place them chronologically. That one above is from a 60's repro store, but I've seen rounded collars paired with 30s outfits as well...

If you can make that look work, then why the heck not? This gets into my own personal issue about the 60's Since I was in my youth during the 60's, psychologically I have a hard time accepting that era as "Vintage". There are several people who love that era here on the Lounge. It's a perpetual battle in my mind to refrain from going "GAK!" over the styles of that period. I must say, I think I'm making real progress. I just rediscovered a couple of ties I got in High School, around 1963. They're about an inch and a quarter wide. I've actually entertained the idea of wearing them some time (!).
So if you like that shirt style, put together an outfit, take a picture and post it!

I recently purchased a club collar shirt and am looking forward to wearing it.

club collar shirts look great. Especially if they have eyelets for a collar bar. If you're (generic FLounger) a size 15 1/2 you missed out on a 1930s example on eBay last night. So did I . . . :cry:

I am indeed a 15 1/2... how generic! That site is out-of-stock in my size; can you recommend any other webstores?

See my thread about it.

EDIT: I would avoid any polyester blends, personally.

I just looked at the Brooks Brother's ones you mentioned in the other thread - I just wish I could afford an £80 shirt right now!

Anywhere else online that stocks cheaper ones? Even if they are polyester...

I always liked club collars - I purchased 2 of them earlier this year from a Brooks Brothers outlet. I usually pair club collar shirts with a collar bar. I think that look works well.

Huh? It cost me about 20USD, which would be about 40GBP for you. It was from eBay, though the seller is based in the States, so it could be a problem.

I wish that the $ was that strong.

 

[Jovan]

Whoops... wrong way around. I meant 10GBP.

That's from Ebay, right? The ones I was talking about were new, direct from the BB website.

I like wearing rounded white collar shirts. There is a shirtmaker in NYC who makes them. I am wearing one in my avatar. I think they are very stylish. I am wearing one with a bolo tie, ( I know) but it was for an event in TEXAS, lol.
