So long story short, i’m a mechanical engineer….
A few months back I went on a big hunt to figure out which OCBD is the best, and went through maybe ten different types. I have good news on the hunt too, I really have a strong preference for the current Brooks Brothers one, and believe it or not the Lands End supima hyde park needs-irons are great too. Anyhow, now that I have a bunch of them floating around, I have been trying to analyze, as engineering types do, why they are the way they are.
I do a lot of work with miniature parts, so I have a lot of magnifying tools available to me. I figured I would post some of the pictures (& observations) of my investigation…….

Just a few samples of different close ups Evan provided.
He analyzes the differences in each, and how that translates to how a shirt looks & feels.
NOTE: You’ll want to head on over to Threads to see the full size shots, Evan’s analysis of different kinds of OCBDs, which ones he prefers, and why. It’s really something else.
“Threads” is Dappered’s Forum. Want more? Head on over and take a spin around.
