Second shirt.
The first shirt can take a detachable collar to go over its band collar “collarless” look.
First because you can open it if you want, allowing for more styles
The first shirt is supposed to be late 19th and early 20th century in design, while the second style is 18th through early half of the 19th century, with mainly older and more conservative men wearing it by the era after circa 1860s, normally farmers or working class, and shirt construction had already changed by then, mostly. The first style of shirt is more formal, and can have formal wing collars attached to it. Here in this picture is what mid-19th century dress shirts usually looked like, with its pleated front; think Abraham Lincoln and what was considered dress shirts in his era.
Yeah, the second is a pullover/popover kind of a shirt, as almost every shirt made before the very end of the Victorian era was. The full button front began to be popular ever since around World War I and the 1920s.
Any other opinions before I buy one?
First one is classier
Would wear the first one if I could use the five point palm exploding heart technique
I don'f know what that is, but I would wear the first one, anyway.
are you the hat guy?
i feel like you're the hat guy
Which hat guy? I'm curious.
Too bad Pai Mei teaches no one the five point palm exploding heart technique

Oh, you think the first shirt is East Asian looking? It is really just a Western detachable collar shirt.
The reference was that Shirt #1 looked like Bill's shirt.
I'll have to check it out. Thank you. I didn't see the movie this is from.
Nutmeg :)
OK, the shirt does look similar.
That guy is an inspiration. I was interested in history for many years before I saw his YouTube videos, but he kept it going for me. He still makes videos on his channel.
I don't know if you are coming back, but I do have this hat. In fact, I have worn it for this Thanksgiving, due to the very cold weather, with a coat and tie. I would wear this hat with either one of the shirts made by Darcy Clothing, as it fits in with both the 18th/19th century eras, and the early 20th century.
A side angle.
A diagonal angle. It's a low crown 4.5 inches high hat with a wide ribbon and bound brim with 3 inches' width. It's too low to crease the top of it like a typical fedora or cowboy hat with a cattleman's crease, but it does fit into the conventions of old fashioned Victorian era cowboy hats, as well as hats worn before the American cowboy phenomenon really took off in the 1860s and 1870s after the Civil War. I have seen hats of this style worn as far back as the 1700s, based on some painting portraits of men wearing hats that were not three-cornered cocked hats, or tricornes.
Here's another shirt picture.
Let's see. The consensus seems to be that the first shirt is a better style.
