All kinds of stuff and places are named for members of my family; it

Saxons and the Jutes. LOL. -- AJ

Clearly your friend has recovered from his previous folly. Also, one
swallow does not a Summer make, and beer goes as well with swimming as
knees do with jogging.

Dear Crossposting Madone Maroon,

There are many shirts. This one may not be the best,
but it's a good start:

http://www.tobi.com/product/9423-he...wn-shirts-solid

For those of you who prefer basic black, perhaps:

http://shop.doverstreetmarket.com/p...products_id=867

You're in luck, both are in stock in XL. But no XXL,
sorry. For more ideas, perhaps try doing a little bit
of your own research. I suggest a daily visit to

Now I'm torn.

As a typical fatty master, the XXXL size is important. From a
spectators' point of view, if nothing else. So the bikingthings jersey
might be a good thing.

On the other hand, the XXXL size would mean that I'd be paying less per
square cm of material. THAT'S sure to slow me down. So the bikingthings
jersey would be a BAD thing.

I need to find a place that will sell me one at an especially high price.

£140?! Holy crap. Does it have backpockets at least? (And is _that_
supposed to be slim fit?)

I'm interested in the replies. I would add one constraint: it can't
look silly! I have to be able to wear it into lecture without feeling
like my students are all laughing at me.

You must be new to the world of the Beau Brummels. Fashion is
_supposed_ to look silly. People are _supposed_ to laugh and point at
you. How else would you know they're watching?

Once you get over your shyness about fashionable shirts, you should,
ahem, branch out into fashionable trousers and pants. Here is one
bloke that would be quick on the poke due to his very fashionable
leggings.

The best material I have used is Coolmax. I typically just wear Coolmax
t-shirts. I have a drawer full of conventional jerseys that I stopped
wearing long ago. Coolmax t's used to be available for $10 or so, but
they last so long I haven't bought any new ones in years. I found a
Coolmax polo shirt at an outdoor store, looks like any other polo shirt
but doesn't get soggy like cotton ones.

CDG = Comme des Garcons. Nobody said looking
good was going to be cheap. For high style, you're
supposed to live in a tiny flat in London or New York
and have it sparsely furnished with angular modern
furniture and only have space for three or so outfits,
so you can buy expensive shirts. And I'm pretty
certain that it really is slim fit.

That you know this is disquieting.

Ah yes. I'm afraid I'm a boorish Hollander. This, I can't wear:

Remember Meg Ryan to Tom Hanks in Joe versus the Volcano?

"That outfit's wearing you, Felix"

Stand up straight.
Be comfortable in your own skin.
Wear clothes you like.
You will be in style.

Find a good tailor.
Have him fit your jackets and trousers for you,
including the ones you own now.
Do not allow the store fit your clothes.
