I have picked up some great Gitman Bros and Gitman Vintage off of eBay. I am also fond of Bills Khakis and have found a few nice shirts from there too. What other brands should I be paying attention to? I will be a bit more open and say these do not have to be USA made necessarily but I would like to avoid brands that price their stuff high and make it in third world countries.

Mercer and Brooks non iron are some of the best OCBD around.

I buy most of my shirts from Spier & Mackay, both OTR and MTM. The shirts are made in India in a factory.

Probably the best value OTR shirts I've found, their OCBDs have a great collar roll. They're really thick though and only wearable when it's fairly cold.

For MTM, I'm allowed to adjust almost anything. I've given them collar point lengths, button-to-button spread, collar band height. Fused, unfused, lined, unlined etc. Wash the fabric before cutting is another request you can make.

For my last shirt I also went with cocktail cuffs.

I will say their cons are wait time and quality control for MTM. 4-6 weeks is what they say, though it usually ends up being 8 weeks for me.

I've received shirts where the measurements were totally off as well.

Why are you starting a second thread with the exact same question?

And after you found out that button-down shirts refer only to shirts with collar points that button down, you use the same misleading description in the title. You're asking about button-up shirts with all collar types, correct?

Brooks are my go to (have one on now!).

@FLMike - My bad... : /

When I created the thread, it didn't even show up in the suggestions. If a mod could please close and merge, I would appreciate it.

In the beginning, I was happy with Eagle ShirtMakers, lately it is Trad cut Nordstrum or Brooks.

A sensible request, but to FLMike's point can you kindly clarify as to whether you are inquiring about button up shirts or shirts with button-down collars?

Oh certainly. I would say button-downs but I could have it wrong.

That is a prime example. I don't like their high bluff shirts that are a blend vs. 100% cotton. I guess with my previous thread (and this is my mistake), I was sticking more to USA made only vs. venturing out.

Bills Khakis as another example has a few nice shirts too.
