Billy Moore makes some interesting belts and buckles. Yes a bit pricy but if you find one you like it could up being used more than anything else you have. His belts (and others) inspired me to give buckle making a try.  |

So I'm guilty of buying the "baja" shirt, I'm in San Diego and I definitely feel being close to the ocean helps, bit of broish fashion but it's weird how many people like it. I've gotten more positive comments on this shirt than anything else, or they could be making fun of me..

Maybe you looked longingly at the Gustin City Coat ? |

(based solely on my life experience...... with my wife) I would concur. They do trust men to make these basic decisions like matching and picking suitable brands and styles that look good on you, which is apparently a solid foundation. The longer you're with them, then it becomes "I thought you would look good in ___" and they hope to influence the style as they with you. At least I've seen that. It's been a teaching experience  |

My wife's only suggestion that I have listened to so far was that I needed more solids. And she was right, way to may plaids so I steered the purchasing out to get more solids and the closet looks a bit more balanced now. |

I'm with northcoast though, I don't get the chipping buttons thing I don't get why they didn't change the copy when they changed the button spec, but people would always complain that the urea buttons felt too plasticky, so I guess they decided to go the mechanic shirt route for the chambrays as well. At least they don't have a button down collar. |

ALmost backed last night but waited for the mornings 10% and instabacked the blue chambray. I had some drinks last night and almost talked myself into the white triple nipple but I just cant quite do it. I'm getting closer to talking myself into this one though. I like that those buttons on the shirt below are simply aluminum, not powder coated. I sent back my one mechanic's shirt for power coating bubbling & peeling. They fixed it but said it was a feature. If it's not button downs on G it's BTS (beat to Sh**) TS.  |

They look similar to the JCrew Selvedge Chambray. Not a bad thing but I think you can get one for $80 (even cheaper if on sale).

It's another thing on my list of TS and G, they need to add a little more on the neck sizing as the size of the shirt increases. I'm taking that you did not buy it? Any other impressions from the store? |

Buttons are real MOP. Nice touch. Collar was hidden button down so it stays in place. The new 60's polo shirts are pretty sweet the tipped ones. I'll get a navy when it hits 25/30% off. |

I'm cool with the 42's having a 16.5" neck, 17" would allow for a little shrink, but not like I'm rolling a tie with TS shirts, and my Mexican heritage doesn't come through with the Cholo button.
By throat latch, I'd assume he meant a two button fastener like a work shirt, but the latest chambray drops are a normal one button.

I asked ts to make larger necks cause the 42 with a 16.5 is too tiny for me. Need a 17 to even try to button and 17.5 with shrink would be perfect. Iono why I got a hulk neck for my build haha
