Excellent choice! You know the LL picture taking rules: outside, daylight... Snow white will reflect beautifully on the fabric.

Mostly Acorn and Alumo. Good diversity. You can inspect full bolts of cloth. He has some very nice silk as well for night shirts or pyjamas.

@Buttons: When I ordered my first shirt, the standard button used by Monsieur Courtot was 2-holed mother of pearl. I had to ask him to get 4 holes. Has this changed?

Yes, he told me he used the same 4 hole buttons than Charvet, he said these were such good quality there were no green or brownish traces on the back of the button (as there apparently often are with MOP buttons).
