Love this list. Plenty of new brands for me to explore. honorable mentions for Gitman and O’Connell’s. I have a Mercer too but I find the fit seriously strange and wouldn’t go back, personally.
I too got the red and white uni stripe from Kamakura recently. Lovely. But my go-to? John Simons all day long! They include all the details ie back button on the collar and locker loop.
I have never heard of many of these shirtmakers. Thanks for sharing! My new favorite is a Billy Reid denim shirt that I bought last year. I wear it as often as I can!
Mercer and Sons - is hands down the best OCBD the money can get
This really the only correct answer
Awesome write up Tom! Would love to know what denim button down youre wearing in the last photo?
Thanks so much! It’s the Kamakura X Graham Marsh Vintage Ivy Denim Button Down 🙏🏼
Great list, Tom! I’d also add Gitman Vintage. My preferred OCBD is always vintage Brooks Brothers, though! :D
Thanks for this! The jpress blue university stripe with flap pocket is my go-to.
Thank you!
Great list! I’ve had my Wythe OCBD since Peter’s kickstarter in 2019. A prized possession of mine.
Now that much of this is out of my price range, I’ve been relegated to eBay to find the right OCBD!

I own a few oxfords from Wythe and they are as good as advertised.
What's the chambray at the end?
Kamakura vintage Ivy!

Thanks Steve! Glad you enjoyed reading in
Thanks, Tom. A couple of brands I haven't heard of..
You’re very welcome, thanks for reading!
Thanks, I've been wanting to upgrade to a nice Oxford button down, but so many good brands to choose from
What is your view on John Simons Ivy Shirt?

The jpress blue university stripe
Gitman Vintage is a fabourite. Kamakura is great but only 6 buttons is a minus in my book.
