I bought a light blue 1MX several years ago and it's a great shirt...the cut of the shirt and the stiffness of the collar wearing with a jacket is perfect. Last Friday I bought a few for $20 (french blue, white, and light beige) during their morning sale. I wore the french blue last weekend and ran it through the wash yesterday (cold water, hang dry). This morning it took me forever to iron out all the wrinkles, and I could see it already starting to fade. Not only that, but there were these small white patches starting to form on it.
I compared it to my old 1MX, same M size. The old one is made in Turkey, has thicker buttons, feels stiffer, and is about a 15-32/33. The new one is made in Indonesia, has cheaper buttons and is cut bigger, about 15 1/2-34/35. The new one also recommends dry cleaning the shirt whereas the old one only has the wash instructions.
Express sucks :thumbsdown: A shirt shouldn't have to be dry cleaned to keep it from falling apart on the first wash.
