Charles Tyrwhitt OCBD shirts - Not what they used to be

I've been wearing Charles Tyrwhitt Oxford shirts for years now, and recently ordered two more white ones.
Opened the package this morning and am pretty disappointed. The price has gone up (quite a bit) and the quality has gone down.

Even my wife spotted the difference while the shirt was still wrapped in plastic. The material is much thinner, and doesn't feel the same at all. I have a similar shirt (different colour) hanging in the wardrobe that has never been worn and it feels completely different, much thicker fabric.

To add insult to injury these new shirts now have an embroidered logo on the chest.
Why on earth would anyone want that ?

Back they go and I need to find a new suppler.
A pity Brooks Brothers are so expensive this side of the Atlantic.

I have a fair share of CT shirts (last ones bought about a year ago), so I'm sad to hear that.
A logo on the chest would be a instant deal-breaker for me...

The logo is on dress shirts?
The material is much thinner and has a completely different texture. I have a shirt that looks very identical to this one but is a different shade and it feels really different, like a lot thicker fabric.
