Alright, let’s talk about shirts, you know, the things you wear every day. Not the fancy-schmancy ones, just good, proper shirts. I ain’t no expert, but I know a thing or two about clothes that last.
First off, you gotta feel the shirt. Don’t just look at it, get your hands on it! If it feels like plastic, put it right back. A good shirt, it feels soft but strong, you know? Like it’ll hold up after a few washes. Some folks try to trick ya with softness, but you gotta be smarter than that.
Now, if you’re getting a dress shirt, the kind you wear to church or somethin’, you gotta try it on. Don’t just guess your size, every maker is different. The neck, that’s important, gotta make sure it ain’t too tight or too loose. And the shoulders, the seam should sit right on your shoulder, not hanging down or pulled up tight. It shouldn’t feel like it’s gonna burst when you move your arms, you know? You gotta be able to breathe in it!
- Neck: Not too tight, not too loose.
- Shoulders: Seam sits right, not pulled or saggy.
- Chest: No pulling or tightness.
Some of these fancy shirts, they cost a fortune! I heard tell of some that cost more than my old mule! Stuff like that Brioni brand, they say it’s top-of-the-line, but who needs a shirt that expensive? You just gonna get it dirty workin’ in the garden anyway.
Speaking of different kinds, there’s them overshirts, kinda like a jacket but not so heavy. And then there’s the patterned ones, with dots or stripes or whatever. Burberry, that’s a name I heard, they make nice ones, or so they say. And Mr. P., he makes those dotty shirts, polka dots they call ‘em. Fancy, but not for me, I like plain and simple.
Then you got your regular dress shirts, the kind for when you need to look presentable. GQ magazine, they know about these things. They say * makes good ones, no wrinkles they say. Sounds good to me, I hate ironing!
There are so many shirts out there, it’s enough to make your head spin. Tons of brands, every color you can think of. But you gotta find what works for you. Something that feels good and fits right.
Some folks like those Oxford shirts, kinda casual but still look nice. You can get plain ones, or fancy ones with logos, or even ones with special little details. But again, it comes down to what you like and what you can afford. Me, I like somethin’ sturdy, something that’ll last.
And don’t forget you can buy shirts online these days. Lots of stores sellin’ all sorts of clothes. But be careful, you can’t feel the shirt online, so you gotta trust the pictures and the descriptions. And make sure you can send it back if it don’t fit!
So, when you’re lookin’ for a proper shirt, remember what I told ya. Feel the fabric, make sure it fits right, and don’t spend a fortune unless you got money to burn. A good shirt is like a good friend, it’ll stick with ya through thick and thin.
Finding good shirts ain’t rocket science. You just gotta use your common sense. And don’t be afraid to try things on. You’ll know when you find the right one, it’ll feel just right. And that’s all there is to it.
Remember, a good shirt should last you a while, you know, through working in the yard, going to town, or just sitting on the porch. Don’t be fooled by fancy names or high prices, the best shirt is the one that feels good and fits your needs and your wallet. And most importantly, makes you feel good wearing it!
