I'm such a sloppy dresser that when I put on a Polo shirt people flip out.

"OHHHHHH! Why are you all dressed up?"

I'll wear a polo shirt to class and then I start teaching and get all sweaty and pull it off and just teach in a t-shirt, my preferred costume.

Then I just bring my polo shirt and set it on chair where the kids can see it.

"This is the shirt I would wear if it wasn't so hot." :poop:

Do they not have linen in California?

Get a pale blue linen shirt

It will be cooler than a t shirt

It will wrinkle instantly so you will never look uptight

You can wear it with jeans, untucked with shorts, really anything (not sweatpants)

Almost no men look better in an uncollared shirt vs a collared shirt

Unless you have a neck girth like Laird you should always be opting for some type of collar

I used to buy tons of stuff from J.Crew

Their quality really dropped off in recent years

Ever since TPG bought them and loaded them with unsustainable debt they’ve been f’ng up

Corona isn’t what killed them

Are you unbuttoning to your navel?

There are different thicknesses of linen fabric just like cotton

I have a couple of pure linen shirts that are very thin that I can’t even wear in an air conditioned place as I will get too cold and have obscene nipplage

I can't wear shirts with a collar.

I used to scream and shout like an agitated monkey trapped in a net when my parents put me in a collared shirt for Sunday school.

I wasn't wearing the button up shirt or going to some Jesus school in Hacienda Heights.

Can someone be an atheist at 5?

My parents were like, oh, I guess he doesn't like the shirt or the Sunday school.

It was then I suspect that they realized their dream of having a little English gentleman for a son were just that, a dream.

If my GF read this she would be saying, "Yeah, idiot! Listen to billy!"

If you don’t wear collared shirts I hope for your sake you have one of these

J Crew had nice polos and oxfords

a lot of their stuff is cut for effete fairymen which doesn't jive with my

The problem with J Crew is its preppy NE'er wear, except for people who don't live in New England, and at a semi-affordable price. Kinda like how Hollister is California surf wear for people who don't surf and/or live in California. If you are some trust funder born and raised in New England, you probably don't wear that stuff. There are other brands that are more in style amongst that ilk that you would have to be in the know to know of.

Linen shirts are wear it's at (see what I did there), especially in warm/hot climates. Tough to find here, so if you have an online source help a brother out

the great thing about JCrew was that they usually had reliable basics (assuming you like khakis and polo shirts, etc) and you could wait for sales at 40% off which happened every few months

the alternative was places like Brooks Bros which are more expensive and also generally cut for fatsos

Crew was great for not too expensive preppy stuff if you’re thin

but then their quality dropped and their sizing got unreliable

and I guess kids don’t like to dress that way anymore either most places although you can’t really tell where I live because they still do

Bitcoin pumping again. Just broke the major resistance of 9400. All other coins in hold until BtC done and then they will pump after.

Dow up slightly at opening but now dropping. I expect big drop going into summer as covid wave 2 arrival.

Tesla keep eye today. Joe Rogan interview with Elon part 2 is released today.

wait......I thought the stock market and the economy were doing great and there's tons of pent-up demand, and everyone was actually doing BETTER than they were 4 years ago.

Bitcoin pushed to 9.9 this morning, and now cool down while alt coins pumping.
