Honestly does anyone else just wear white t's and white buttonups?

Pretty much happiest most with either a white crew t (beefy tagless hanes) or a bespoke white button up

Eh I dunno maybe its just me lulz

I think I paid 65 bucks for my last one from cottonwork, nice white Oxford, hidden placket, hidden button-down, MOP buttons

Was going to order about ten, a few fin collars, a some regular buttondowns, more hidden placket buttondowns and some double pocket buttondown safari shirts for summer

Those and white hanes crews and I'm pretty happy lol

I've been wearing my TB white oxford so often now. Love it. It just stains so easily, I spilled a tiny bit of tea on the placket and it's visible to me (though most people don't notice it). Any tips on getting stains off well?

Also what's up with dudes who think you can't wear button ups with a leather? White oxford, or really any solid color oxford or baller pattern + DR or bomber looks sweet

I've always just used some of that spray on stain remover, let it sit for 30 minutes or so then hand wash, paying attention to the area. Works for me.

I've tried button up + DR and while it works, its not really what i'm going for. Love them with bombers however.

I wear white Uniqlo vnecks to morning work almost every day and my only two good dress shirts are sorta bespoke white ones. Still working on perfecting the pattern then I think I'll offer to sell them to people if they want one. Doing that because I've had some interest in the style but it's pretty much impossible to find RTW (the guy I use to make them says the only two he's made in this style is for me over the past 30 years and he had no idea what the ******* was at first).

ugh i spilled a entire cup of oolong on my white uniqlo tee literally 10 seconds after reading this post.
i tried the vinegar + salt tip and it really works! 99% of the stain has come off; i just put the tee back into the vinegar bucket hoping the remaing 1% will too.
dunno if it would work as well on your old stain though

Adding vinegar during the rinse cycle (obviously white distilled) is actually a good idea since it makes it a lot easier to get rid of any soapy residue. Vinegar owns.

i've compiled a list of "baller" plain white tees ($50 minimum, mostly $100+) and will experiment with living in them exclusively for a month or two come fall.

Alright, question 2:

Where would I go if I wanted to buy Common Projects.... for the European market?


Blender Agency, at least for the Scandinavian market. Not sure if they cover all of Europe. Got my first par of CPs and MMM gats from them.

it does! found another nice property of vinegar vis a vis whites here
If you have hard water, it can give your whites a grayish cast. One way to partially correct hard water is to add a half cup of vinegar to the water you use to rinse your whites. White vinegar works beautifully for this purpose.

Chilling next to a flooded city, moving friends out of their fucked up house, boiling water to drink and dodging tornadoes is completely antiswag
