Trend Caveat: Popped Collars

You know the old saying, "two negatives make a positive?"

Does that work with 23 popped collars? Probably not, but luckily because of men like him there seems to be a strong online protest against such grotesque behavior:

Yes. Popped collars are lame, and now we have a website with that very name! Hey I'm even rhyming! Those "Cat in the Hat" books are finally paying off. It's about bloody time.

V-Necks For D-Bags

Douche bag alert. Here's an interesting article about the new phenomenon of low v-necks, a.k.a. the "douchebag neck." Yes v-necks are a staple of summer clothing, but these new lower v-necks are a new low. Avoid at all costs unless you fall into the aforementioned category. And if you do decide to go with the look, you might as well go all d-bag'ed out by adding some graphics to it as well. Then your mission in life will be complete.

I Want A Fitted Dress Shirt, Damn It!

Non-Fitted = Sad

Fitted = Happy

If you fall into the demographic of men who have a difficult time finding clothes that fit you just "right," then as you obviously know by now it can be extremely frustrating.

This is particularly evident with dress shirts. Dress shirts in the U.S. market tend to be, to put it lightly, made for fat people. It's the so-called "executive" look and is really annoying for other men, especially those who are of a slimmer body frame or those who just want a more fitted look. Even the "Slim Fit" styles that some brands offer are not really slim at all.

Although this problem is usually solved by going to your local tailor, it obviously would be much more convenient to just purchase your dress shirts to fit perfectly right off the back.

Luckily, there seem to be a few online sites that can take care of this problem for you, such as Giorgenti: Best Custom Shirt. There, you can select fabric type, color, collar type, number of pockets, and even your own custom monogram. Seems like a good deal to me.

Now I can finally make that 67 inch sleeve shirt I've been dying for all of these years. Hooray the Internet

I Use Money As Toilet Paper

There are some people who think they're better than everyone else, then there are those who are just flat out better than everyone else.

This guy is both. I hope he has a blog. Then I can live vicariously through him.
