I don’t know about you, but I am NOT going to pay $90 for the Brooks Brother’s version of the basic white shirt!  This one’s perfectly fine for what I need….something to wear under a jacket or sweater, or over a pair of jeans.  The price is right at $24.99 (regularly $42.00).  Available in 7 colors (I bought the basic white and the white/green/gray stripe).  The French cuffs are just icing on the cake.  Cotton/polyester/spandex.  Available in Misses, Petites, Talls, and Women’s.  Order from JCPenney.
