NEW YORK SLIM FIT - Spread Oxford

The fabric is excellent, as always. The New York slim fit generally works well for me (5'11'', 160lbs); however, the sleeves and particularly the cuffs are on the narrow side (common with Kamakura shirts, even in the New York styles, designed for "Western" body types). They still work for me, as I have narrow wrists, but it's tight with a watch and wrist-worn step-counting device on the other wrist. Main complaint: too bad the collar and cuffs are fused, making them stiff, contrary to the feel one aspires to with Oxford cloth shirts. (The Oxford cloth button down shirts from Kamakura don't have fused collars and cuffs, which is why I didn't expect it.) I hope it gets better with washing. I think the shirt would benefit from adapting the design - no fusing, slightly wider sleeves/cuffs.
