"Long live Mercer&Sons. Best shirts on the market"
"It's very difficult to get a true button-down constructed the way they used to be. I get my shirts from Mercer because they still make the old-fashioned collar. Mercer is the original."
-G. Bruce Boyer, Ivy Style Forum
"So distinctive I can recognize a Mercer collar at a hundred paces. As can anyone lucky enough to own a Mercer shirt."
-S. Walcott, New York
"You make the finest button-down I've ever worn...and happen to be delightful people, as well."
-G. Bruce Boyer. Author of "Elegance-A Guide to Quality in Menswear"
"I thought I'd try an O'Connell's 'copy cat' shirt. No comparison. Not even close."
-Michael R., South Carolina's Wear
"I confess...I did on impulse buy a shirt from someone else. I certainly regret it. No body makes a shirt like you."
-Ben G., New York City
"I wanted to let you know that I received my shirt in the mail this week. It is certainly the finest shirt I have ever worn. The quality and fit of the shirt far surpasses shirts I have worn by the likes of Charvet, Ledbury, and Gitman Brothers. I will certainly be ordering many more shirts from your company in the future, and will be letting my friends and family know that they should do the same."
-Davis S., Richmond, VA
"I ordered a pinpoint button-down from you...it is not like the old full roll button downs of my youth. It’s better! The roll has much more flair...just extraordinary. At last my search for the perfect roll collar is over. As an added bonus I found the workmanship extraordinary. I must, modestly, say that I know what I’m talking about. I have a closet full of Turnbull and Asser’s, Talbot’s, Borelli’s, Truzzi’s and a very few Charvet’s. In addition to being a picky consumer, I was educated by my grandfather who was trained as a tailor at Huntsman in England . You have a superior product projecting the essence of casual elegance. Thank you."
-Dr. M. Polk, San Francisco, CA
"Your shirts are perfect for office and and great for weekends, as well. Compared to others, a much better value."
-J. Valles, San Francisco, CA
"Your button down is a cut above all others. The only one with the old-fashioned, full roll. "
-E. Stamm, New York City
"No one has a straight collar like yours. No one! Don't ever go out of business."
-T. Carlson, Alexandria, VA
"When my girlfriend steals them, I have to call for replacements. Otherwise, they do last forever."
-S. Weidman, Newport, RI
"Mercer shirts are the only ones my husband will wear with his Ferragamo ties..."
- F. Shaughnessy, Woodstock, NY
"I've tried Brooks Brothers, Robert Talbott, and custom-made shirts which cost twice what yours do. Yours are the best, by far. No one makes a collar like yours. You have a customer for life."
-B. Dress, St Louis, MO
"In 1992, I bought shirts from you, Tom James, J. Press, and Paul Stuart. Your collars are better and the only shirts that last."
-A. Roth, M.D., Los Angeles, CA
"I bought shirts from Sulka that cost twice as much and lasted half as long. Hope you stay in business at these prices."
-J. Gray, Atlanta, GA
"Nordstrom's and Lord and Taylor shirts don't hold up as well. Yours look better, are made better and are more comfortable to wear."
-F. Gutierrez, Detroit, MI
"Really a beautiful shirt- the roll of the collar is so important, and yours is excellent. Better than the original Brooks Brothers of years ago."
-R.Schmidt, Washington, D.C
"My shirts from you are perfect... really the Baggier is the Better."
-T. Takazawa, Tokyo, Japan
"A cut above all the others."
-E. Stamm, New York City
"They don't wear out. Your cloth is bulletproof."
-A. Peabody, New York City
"...a masterpiece. They get better with age."
-J. Mayer, New York City
"My son says yours are the best shirts in the world. He's hard to please."
-C. Damon, Massachusetts
