The Brooks Brothers Original Polo dress shirt is the American button-down standard. Pinpoint Oxford weave, signature soft-roll collar (no stays, never bubbles), mother-of-pearl buttons, made in better factories than most $100-priced shirts. Wears in to a softer, lived-in look rather than wearing out. The collar roll is its calling card β buy this if you want a shirt you can wear with a tie or a knit. The Non-Iron variant uses formaldehyde treatment; the regular version doesn't (worth the extra ironing).

- Mother-of-pearl buttons, decent construction
- Wears in to softer state with use
Cons
- $110-160 vs. similar-quality competitors at $80
