What do you want in a shirt?

Green / grey and grey / brown check options would be nice with quite large simple pattern. Cotton drill, cotton flannel and wool flannel options for the different seasons.

Actually, moleskins may be preferable to flannel. Tends to last better.

Thanks for all the comments. Do you have any preference on weight? Personally, I prefer a heavyweight shirt. Some of the old African bush shirts are seriously heavy duty, but we do have an option for lightweight cloth.

Medium weight dense thread count. 2 breast pockets of a useful size. Definitely buttons not poppers. No button down collar. Not skinny fit, it's for shooting work not posing FFS.
 
Heavy flanel for winter but lighter fabric for summer, though layering would permit the use of lighter fabric in winter also.
Long shirt tail and a generous (even baggy cut).
Cuffs that allow sleeves to be rolled easily up the arm.
Beast pockets that buttons down.
Elbow and shoulder patches are nice but not essential.
 
Not olive green! Everything i own seems to be olive green. Checks in earth tones, long back, fitted round the body, decent length arms, none shrink and full button
 
When I find a shirt that fits well I tend to buy lots of them, these are my current white shirts with several in reserve and plenty more prior to these. I wear a shirt 7 days a week. Slim fit, wide shoulders and plenty of fabric in the upper arm for movement, brushed cotton, mid tone or gentle pattern, no visible logo, long sleeves, button down collars for general, collar stiffeners for formal days, very long body to stay tucked in at all times, high quality buttons, less than £150.

Contrary to popular belief not everyone is obese so a shirt that actually tailors down from the chest to the waist and fits properly rather than a square sack hanging down with an abundance of material bunched up above the waistline would be nice.

"Athletic cut" is I believe what you are describing (at least that's what we call it here in the US). And I agree; far too many clothes are made for the...rounder, of the population.
 
Long tails, no chest pockets, cuffs that open wide enough to roll the sleeves up if you're not anorexic, proper collar, freedom to stretch, not cut for Mr Blobby, fairly heavy cotton duck or heavy linen, defnitely not polycotton, non-iron or other abomination.

We are looking at expanding our range and have another shipment coming next month.

Thank you very much to the various SD members who have ordered and for the very kind feedback and repeat orders. It is greatly appreciated.

We currently only sell the Mens Shirts in Full Button:

View attachment 420421

We are thinking of also stocking half button, which I will post below, as I have had several requests for them.

I would be interested to know if there is anything else that you are looking for in a shirt? I am exploring the idea of a green / brown colour, which I appreciate will be much more use for stalking here in the UK.

At least one zipped pocket as I have a tendency to lose things from button-up pockets
 
A shirt has to have a collar.
And sleeves.
And buttons, not poppers or velcro or zips.
Two breast pockets.
Enough length to tuck in properly.
And be made of good, heavyweight cotton.

Can't stand T-shirts, or polyester.
