'Le Original' Blue Contrast Collar Oxford Shirt

I came into this purchase with high expectations. I have purchased similar shirts from all the "greats" - PRL, BB, Proper Cloth. Oxfords are my everyday for every occasion shirt. I have never found a shirt that I liked as much as this one.

First, the fit: It's a perfect blend for a guy my size - 5'8 about 145 with an average build. It's not too skinny like some brands, and is not an oversized fit that wouldn't work at the office.

Second, the fabric: It feels as though I am wearing a soft glove. It is beyond soft and light. The material has served me well in both warm and cold environments thus far.

Third, the quality: Le Alfre is a brand I have only recently learned of, and frankly, I wasn't sure of what the quality of the stitching would be like - I am pleasantly surprised. It is, in my opinion, of better quality than recent BB OCBDs which for a long time were the "gold standard." The collar has a lovely roll that is not overstated, but is firm. The only improvement I could see making is to the quality of the buttons - I would love a MOP option.

Overall, my expectations are exceeded. I'm wearing the shirt as I type this (2 days in a row) and I can't wait to make my next purchase.

Love this shirt. Fits great. Looks equally good at work or a nice dinner.

I love the small houndstooth pattern on this shirt. Just enough visual interest to be something different, but still the same great fitting shirt as the other two that I own!

Absolute perfect business formal shirt. Durable, comfortable, cut well with an amazing color tone. I just got this shirt and the compliments are already flooding in. This is my 4th Le Alfré shirt. I have 2 more on the way and honestly I’d be surprised if I buy shirts from another brand anytime soon.

amazing

Great shirt that is light yet well structured. Perfect for patio drinks during California summers

Just received and worn once. Sizing as represented L = L. Withholding judgment on fabric quality, feels good (soft) and bit llighter weight than I expected (clealry a summer shirt) anxious to see if it withstands the test of time, ie, how it will stand up if laundered according to instructuons. Love the look, however, so I am hopeful

Every detail about this shirt is perfect. The thickness of the blue stripes vs. the white, the subtle cross pattern on the blue, the crisp white collar, the button down collar, the horizontal sleeve cuff lines, the cut of the bottom of the shirt so it can be worn in/out. Can't find another on the web with all these perfect details, trust me I tried.

I’m new to this brand. My husband told me to buy one one of your shirts from a local boutique. I loved it so much that I went to the website and bought the blue one as well. It’s hard to find nice fabrics that are well constructed and fitting in today’s world. This is such a nice change. You have a customer for life as long as the product stays up to par. Thanks for making great things!

I love that this is 100% cotton with the mother of pearl buttons. It’s incredibly comfortable. The fit is perfect and the fabric is so soft. Getting more.
