Well, I agree that the function over fashion factor is pretty much gone,
too, at least for the most part. Last Fall I bought an EB long sleeve
shirt of VERY heavy cotton with two large breast pockets, sleeve straps
for rolling up sleeves, and generally kick-arse stitching/construction.
Nice enough to wear under a casual sport jacket, made to last. I admit
I was a bit surpised to find it in the EB collection.
