The OCBD is the staple of the Basic Bastard. It’s inoffensive, comfortable, and V E R S A T I L E. Literally every menswear brand everywhere has come up with one or sold some variant. Picking a shirt that fits you means that it’s good for every season with either some layering or rolling the sleeves. OCBDs are so common they’ve become an MFA meme in and of themselves. OCBD’s are really simple as they’re in a very basic weave, while the button-down collar means they’re casual enough to be dressed up and down. Note that OCBDs are also button-up shirts which is plenty confusing.
For this thread, I suggest sticking to posting ones that are in neutrals like white and light-blue, as those are the most common colors and that places that produce OCBDs in those colors will oftentimes have other colors available.
Price Bins:
Guidelines for posting here:
- I’ll post price bins as top level comments. Post your in response to a price bin, as a second level comment. You can also use top level comments for general info, inspo albums, and general questions.
- Try to stick to one brand/strategy per second-level comment. If you want to recommend both Alden and Carmina, post them separately so people can vote and discuss separately.
- Include a link in your second-level comment if you can — if not to a purchase page, at least to images.
- Try to use prices you might realistically pay. That might be MSRP, or it might not — it depends. If you’re in a cheap bin, maybe the best buying strategy is to thrift, or wait for a big sale. If you’re buying from a store like Banana Republic, paying full price is simply incorrect — the only question is whether you’ll get 40% off or 50% off. So factor that in.
- The bins are in USD, so either use a US price, or convert a non-US price to USD to pick the bin.
- There is no time limit on this thread, until Reddit stops you from posting and voting. This thread will sit in the sidebar for a long time, and serve as a guide for lots of people, so help them out!
