The short-sleeve and twill long-sleeve dress shirts have been slow sellers and are being discontinued.
Barker is working on a replacement for the blue and white long-sleeve Oxford dress shirts. The current shirts (the ones being discontinued) are 100% cotton, and as Dick Isely noted are not the easiest shirts to care for. The replacements will be a 60/40 blend that should hold up better with use.

The IN-news has an item about the Barker Specialty site being revised.
When I went to take a look at it, I noticed that several
items are being
discontinued, including the oxford cloth long-sleeved dress
shirts (blue
and white) and the twill dress shirts (tan) that some of us
like to wear
at conventions. If you want these shirts, now would be a good time to
order before they run out of your size in the color you prefer. I'm
sorry to see these items go away, but I guess they just
didn't sell well
enough to survive. 73 - Kay N3KN
