I stumbled upon this little beauty quite by accident while looking for some new shirts.

For those of you who are still schlubbing around in your COVID lock-down attire, allow me to acquaint you with one of the best places to get very nice shirts suitable for any occasion that requires you to make some sort of sartorial effort, Thomas Pink. When Wendy and I first moved to the US from Europe, she would get me a new Thomas Pink shirt each Christmas. To that end, I have a special place in my heart for them.
