4 x Banana Republic v-neck tees



V-neck is not as deep, which for all intent and purposes I would rather go with a loose crew or u-neck. From some of the Uniqlo v-neck WAYWT photos it is probably on par.

I just got to go back to the basics and wear what works. Bought one last year from B&S for a mere $10. This is the true stuff. Will see if Uniqlo v-necks are a challenge come September.

And at ~ $12 it just beats Everlane in terms of fit and quality. Thick 100% supima cotton, soft (Made in Jordan) and washes well. My old one currently has lasted and retained its shape pretty much 99%. Again it is on the thick side, which I personally love.

I'll note that since everyone on StyleForum is a diehard gym enthusiast or rail thin and have double-digit drops (I have only about 5-6" or so), this tee may not be for you.

Size TTS, I wear a small. Some say it is vanity sizing.

ANYWAYS, I bought them for the gym or what usually happens is I change out of my day clothes and into a tee then precede to go to the gym with what I'm lounging in.

Thanks for tracking down pics, I was worried it was ~4-6" longer than that. Should have no problem at all working it into my wardrobe.

 

 

Doesn't really seem to be a problem on SF

 

CDG shirt + W+H service pants

where are you getting the BRs for $10

My guess would be the banana republic store.

I've tried a few BR t-shirts but they ended up way too short. Same with gap. I'm not exactly tall either at 5'6.

With code and if you buy more than 2, it comes down to about ~ $12

The $10 was from a member on B&S. Liquidus?

Note: The tee is a bit short than perhaps most are use to. You can see like 1cm of skin when I'm doing something like overhead press. Who cares though since everyone on SF has a 6-pack. Also this was probably the 1% shrinkage after all the months of wash and dry.

Did I mention how often BR has codes? Like all the time and up to ~40% that is not rare.

Buttero Canvas Hi-Top Trainers
$135 shipped at ASOS (with code EXTRA10)

Brooks Bros has some very nice tee's and cheap pricing at outlets.  I have a black one that is 5+ yrs old and still looks good, fits well, etc.  Check them out.  Very nice cotton.  Also, of all places, Eddie Bauer has nice tee's as well.  They go on sale a lot and come in talls, etc.

If you want some for $10 let me know

Buttero High's and Il Bussetto iPhone case

Not a fan of the iPhone case. I ordered two before, and the plastic mold used doesn't fit well on the iphone (one corner of the case is usually slightly off). Maybe it was just the two units I bought though.

The leather used, was very nice though.

Heard good things about their leathers, hope the phone fits well. For a moment, I thought it was dumb to get a new case since the new iphone would be released in a few months but the bumper on my current phone broke off. The bussetto case ends up being the same price as a bumper so we'll see. 

nike frees 3.0s in red and black for $24 each. i guess working at macy's is good for something. (fuck 1% commission)

Package stuck in customs for 3 days now...


Got a feeling I'll be getting an OC-esque email from TBS saying they cannot find this sweater since I have yet to receive a shipping confirmation and it's been 2 business days since I placed the order.
