  1. Slow ass (below speed limit) drivers that drive slow up until the light turns yellow and then speed up ... leaving you stuck at the red. Have this shit happen to me at least once a week.

  3. Kind of (half) wish that California's "big" earthquake will hit. Just so I could get it over with.

    Sick of having it hanging over me(not that I think about it much, but when I do, it bums me out a bit).

  4. yo, speaking of chatroulette though, I heard some white du from my high school met his korean "girlfriend" on there. Problem is ... bitch is literally in Korea and this dumb ass actually bought a fucking plane ticket to go see her. I mean they do webcam and so there's actually a girl that he's talking to, but who the fuck knows where she really is? It would be fucked (but funny as fuck) if he goes to Korea and it turns out she's not even there.

  5. I don't know if this post is going to offend but I'll state it anyway.

    I have a weird body type. I'm a slim dude, not too tall, slightly thicker neck than normal with pretty long arms. I'm a ectomorphic primate. I always had a lot of trouble with shirts being too baggy in the back or too slim in the chest. The necks so small that even unbuttoned they look like a polyester disco shirt.

    They might not be the most traditional of the oxfords on the market, but Our Legacy makes one hell of a shirt. The construction is great and the fabrics are of a high quality. They're not too slim for the most part (there's a lot of diversity in their cuts) and not baggy by most male standards. There's some really inventive takes on the oxford. I have a plain medium-blue oxford in size small. They're viking sized so it might be kind of big on some of us but I always tuck and never find a problem. The arms fit well if you're not a huge beefcake or kate moss. The arms are a little long, kind of like how a Dries shirt's arms are a little too long. They roll nice if you like a low-roll. They tuck nicely and you can ever raise your arms up without having to retuck. If you wear them untucked they look great. One cut, the 1940's, is a little more traditional and should be tucked unless you know how to pull it off.

    I highly recommend OL shirts. They're not for everybody, but you should give them a try. They often fit slightly large.

    shit, yeah. I forgot I had an OL red oxford too. Fuck, I have way too many oxfords. On the shirt I own, the fabric isn't as beefy as the other brands I've mentioned though the hand is still nice. Think I have the 1940's cut? I get pretty confused by all their cuts, especially since this season they added like a 1950s cut and a 1990s cut.

    As for Club Monaco I have no idea, but for 20 bucks if they suck who gives a fuck and if they're great then hooray.

  6. Doesn't Gitman make McNairy? I know they make BoO and a few other brands shirts. I swear by the Gitman Vintage shirt. I love the way they are made. The only thing I don't like is that fact that their fits are hit and miss. For instance my standard blue oxford fits a full size larger than my white one... even though they are tagged the same. Pretty common for their shirts. That's why I always try them on and never order online.

    Idk, really. I sold my Gitman Vintage oxford, so I was just writing based on what I remember ... I do own a Gitman Black Chambray still but I can't compare that to oxfords. But from what I remember of Gitman's fabric, my TB shirt feels a lot smoother. Nevertheless, even if they are all made in the same factory, fit between BoO, Gitman, McNairy, TB are all definitely different.

  7. I've owned/ now own Thom Browne, Mark McNairy, Gitman Vintage, and Uniqlo oxfords.

    Uniqlo's fit is decent, especially through the arms, though the quality is noticeably worse than the others that I've mentioned. I once owned a pretty decent quality one though that I purchased from the UK a couple years back. Unfortunately that was tagged M and it fit like an XL. Go figure.

    Gitman Vintage Fabric is substantial, albeit rough? Not as smooth as Thom Browne or McNairy. Fit is slim for the most part (not skinny like BoO). The back blooms like a motherfucker though due to the box pleat. I'd say if you could get em for $100 they're alright. Definitely can't tuck though.

    Mark McNairy Cloth is real nice, though I have an issue with the button placement on the placket. Seems like the space between the top button and the second to the top button are set pretty far apart. So it'd work if you button up all the way. Also you definitely need to tuck in as the tails are long as fuck.

    Thom Browne Probably the nicest fabric/weight I've got. Really beefy feeling yet smooth?(idk) Fit is the best too, nice and slim everywhere, except it does have hip flare, which is noticeable if you raise your arms/cross your arms. Though I don't think it's noticeable if your arms are at your sides. I'll probably tuck in when I'm wearing trousers for work.

    so I STILL haven't found the perfect fit OTR oxford shirt yet, but fuck it, I may just tailor them, or just end the search here and move on to something else.

  8. hay if you guys don't clam down then shit you hate is gonna get locked and then somebuddy has to make like a

    crap you abhor (limited edition) thread or something

    which I'm okay with.

  9. my cell is a Nokia flip phone from 2005. after reading a dozen or so articles and reviews i still don't know if i should get an android phone or iphone. should i flip a coin

    If you're thinking an iphone 4 then I guess you could flip a coin but if you're thinking any of the other iphones I'd go with a droid (coming from an iphone 3gs user).
