dollars to donuts this is a motorcycle thing. harley colors, HOG = harley owner group. dunno what that thing on the left is but it's your homework not mine lol

yes, immediately I thought harley owners group but it just doesn't seem... right - I don't know, the motif just seems weird. But that may be it

I was checking out one time and I saw a lady buying a marital aid. I thought oh maybe its a like some cooking utensil I dont know about. Upon getting closer to the lady It was indeed a used marital aid. I thought hmmm and walked out and forgot about it until now. Thanks Nataku

btw, if i EVER come across a used marital aid in a thrift store (was it the "silver bullet" variety, or did it have veins and ridges? hahaha) i am signing up for the thriftmas exchange. believe it!

Found a first time label for me. Highest quality I've ever come across....








Even though it is 30 years old - this fabric is amazing... I love this thing so much, I may actually lose the 10 pounds I'd need to wear it..



Shell from Brooks Brothers. Thinking Alden even without the D/B markings for the heel.

This is uncorrect.

I have a couple jackets that I like but the sleeves hit pretty much the same spot as his do in the photos and as soon as I'm not in a static position (like his photos), they seem to ride up with any natural movement and expose way more than an inch of shirt sleeve. It just is a bad look to me if I am constantly pulling my sleeve back down. I defer to your expertise though, just my aesthetic viewpoint. Feel free to PM and tell me why I'm wrong. Always eager to learn more about CM rules and I know it's off topic here.

If I'm picking nits, the shoulders are a touch beyond your natural, and a bit more structured than is the current fashion. But that's probably intentional for that model (looks like Roma). And with the drop, it looks pretty natural. So I think you can get away with it.

Net, I think you're fine with 0 alterations.
...

I'll try to take pics with a couple other shirts. They seemed to show way more shirt sleeve. I'm out of town right now though. Still appreciate everyone's feedback. I don't think there is extra fabric for sleeve alterations - I assume that would be obvious upon inspecting inner liner?

Pattern rocks for sure.

Seeing a few shirts as of late, that have NHLPA on the sleeve. Size Medium so probably not player or smaller player? I don't want my shirts with NHLPA on sleeve though. Lol.

It's crazy to think these guys learned what they know not from there grandfather but from working Henry poole.
