Has anyone checked out the American Apparel Oxford Button Up shirt???? I have been looking for quite sometime for a dress shirt that would fit my slim build. (I am roughly 110lb and 5"5, with a 31-32in chest), I think their XXS might fit, but I want to see if anyone else has checked them out....

None of the stores have them yet...so I am gonna buy it online..

Thanks!!

Yeah I have a hard time finding button ups that fit right as well

just like the rest of the brand, it is probably poorly crafted, but for a low price anyways

give it a shot and I would go xxs myself, as for most button ups I try are xs and still too big

Edit: We are basically the same body type, go xxs and let me know how it turns out

I've heard that the oxford isn't fitting as slim as their other stuff. I would suggest sizing down one. From all reports, the construction on the oxford is bearable, but it's much easier to put up with a so-so tee than a so-so button-down. If you really need an oxford in a pinch, the price is low enough to have no real regrets.

i saw it in person the other day at the storefront near 23rd street. the construction actually doesnt seem so bad, however the fabric looks very cheap. i cant imagine that it holds up its shape very well. but like everyone else said, if you need a quick fix and cant lay down for something else itll do. H&M doesnt make an xs in their slim fit?

Have pictures been released yet? I'm interested in seeing what's in store for the men's line.

I'm looking to buy some more cheap v-necks for summer but don't like the really deep V's (even the reg AA ones are a little too deep for my liking)

Just was wondering if anyone's found good, cheap v-necks with a shallow V.

thanks in advance.

[geekbonchic]

Target.

[skistar]

really? hum... I haven't purchased anything but home decor from Target in ages but I'll have to check em out.

thanks for the tip.

[jebeebus]

Uniqlo V's are $5 and very shallow

[machinist]

I'm looking to upgrade to my first smartphone and I'm thinking about either a palm centro or blackberry curve. Both are fairly cheap and I want something around that same price range so any advice?

Does this tag come off? Ive got quite a bit of shirts that have tags like this.. seems like they are made to be cut off due to the little amount of thread keeping them on.. thoughts??

[have a killer time]

What pair of good quality denim is most similar in cut to the Uniqlo T000's?

[Guest No Handclaps Please]

I'm looking for some Sambas but I'm having trouble finding some different colors/variations..a lot of the same and searching adidas or samba floods search engines with bs..

just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on where to look for a lighter pair of sambas because i already have black shoes on lock..also - finding some with the trefoil on the tongue is proving to be difficult..

i know there are a good amount of samba owners around..any help is appreciated.

[geekbonchic]

If the stitches are clearly visible and around 1/4" in length, then they are basting stitches made to keep certain parts of the garment still and/or certain labels on the garment.

how do PAM crewnecks fit,

compared to say, AAA crews (which fit large)

measurements on a medium or a large would be great

I'm horrible with the maintenance of shoes. I got those white leather shoes and I've worn them only once yet, I'm afraid to screw them up, I don't know what I should do to keep them neat for a good time. Any products, suggestions?

Please, thanks

these are the shoes:

[nf one]

spray some sort of stain/water repellent on them so that when they do get dirty its easier to clean off. as they get beat up also polishing and conditioning them will do some good and prevent drying which then leads to cracking

however they will inevitably get dirty and i do think those would look really nice worn in so i would just go about and get down wit it

Anyone know where to buy Levi's 511 in chain link (grey). I can never find these for around $30-$35.

[HBlack]

Does anyone know if a worthwhile light, slim fitting trench or peacoat could be found for ~$300? Any suggestions? I'd rather avoid going low end (H&M, yesstyle, etc) if at all possible.

By saletime, some A.P.C. jackets/coats are around the $300 mark.

I think it was mentioned before but i couldnt find the answers.

If you are planning to visit new york for shopping when is the best season to buy F/W shits?

After Thanksgiving or after Chirstmas?

[m1sterko]

personal opinion but i feel that after thanksgiving sales are much better than after christmas ones... or maybe i've been to some bad sales

or maybe it was just a shitty year (07)

[israel]

should i cop? or is there a better similarly priced alternative around? most I'd like to spend is around $300, but I'd like to know what else I should look into in that general price range.

or, any ideas on the construction/how it will hold up?

[geekbonchic]

Are you into it for the leather? If not, you can get something just as sleek and simple in canvas at any army surplus.

[HBlack]

Leather would be nice, but I'm really open to any understated, solid messenger bag that will last a while.
