'bout time we took the colonies back I think. Enough is enough.

Actually, the language of Shakespeare was preserved in the colonies while the Hanovers came in from Germany and fucked it up for you guys. A lot of what you guys consider americanisims really come from jolly old england and are just things that you lost over time. Including the accent- Shakespeare's diction most closely resembled an American southern accent.

There's a book called "The Mother Tongue". I can't recommend it enough if you're interested in the history of the English language even a little.

This must be some new look that hasn't quite made it this way yet. I have only seen this on guy on tv and I don't really like it. I understand what there going for but it seems a bit douchy to me.

I had a shirt made like this last week and I quite liked it.
I gave it a go for a change.

I don't think I would have too many in my wardrobe, but it does make a change.

The thread for the button holes are also darker (navy blue) than the fabric of the shirt(sky blue).

I was unsure when I first looked at it, but when it's on, it looks much better.

+1 Without wanting to hijack this thread - that book is very interesting and does quash the notion that American's rooted the English language. FWIW, I am not from States or Canada either!

I consider this yet another case of the "classic with a twist" disease. I certainly do not mind people showing a personal style by, respectfully, mixing garments, patterns and colours to create interesting and slightly innovative combinations. That is how our clothing traditions have developed, and still develop, over time. However, messing up classic garment, like a dress shirt, with unnecessary and flashy details is certainly not my cup of tea.

First, get the classics, then, add the twist!

Yours,
Mr Tweed

+100. For sports shirt, maybe; dress shirts, no.

In all reality, it would probably improve his odds with 95% of women. It may be tacky when it comes to styleforum standards, but the public's (especially females) opinion of fashion is much less refined. If it was burberry, he'd probably have bar wenches by the 10s coming up to him saying omg I luv your shirt!

If you want to get some really nice shirts like this look up Robert Graham shirts.
