^Not even close.
Here is the 1940s California collar shirt that I clamored El Pachuco to reproduce a few years back. Not 100% cotton, but like Flat-Top said, it is a inexpensive alternative for those looking for such. They still have them in stock for about $30.
Aero now offer spear point collar shirts which are copies from a CC41 original for £80. http://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/products.php?cat=aerocloth&sub=ashirts
I don't think you can get this quality for £30. Unfused collar and cuffs, reinforced side gussets, hand made. No way you can get that for £30.

French shirt. Not cheap but sweet collar.
...It's certainly not the really horrible stuff that makes you smell like a Turkish urinal and causes your hair stand on end
I agree to paddy. The forum is a place to help each other and deliver information. There are collectors who have some of the best vintage pieces and I really love to look at their stuff.
But there are also a lot of member who need to live on a budget and try to make the best out of it. I am one of them (I am lucky to live with a seamstress though)
I once introduced the Signum shirts. They are not perfect but have a nice collar. Now most of the german vintage wearers bought some of them and it is funny to see all the shirts at the last meeting this fall.
For real cool shirts I recommend Revamp or Vecona. The Darcy shirts need a sharper curve, imo.
