For real? I think they're unfuckuppable factor is pretty high. They're basically the only patterned shirt like that, and all the others are way harder. Tattersall and gingham I like only occasionally, PoW and graph check shirts almost never. Then there's pindot, paisley, and other p-words that require more cool than I have managed to accumulate.

This. As already noted I do like them a lot and find that they're actually quite easy to combine. Of course, instead of a neutral canvas your shirt becomes a focus of attention, so adjust the rest of the outfit accordingly. And you're done.

I'm inclined to try a wide gray/silver striped (I think that's what' worn in fit 6). Neutral first one.

There's also this one that is continuously on the SF page (I take it that's Unbel on the right). Prefer to invert the stripes so it is blue on white ground, but that's bolder (thicker striped) than any of K's picks.

Why don't you give us a taste of the old fits, for reminder...

Do not want Luca's shirt. Of the bold stripes posted above, I like all but the second last to varying degrees. For me, it's vital that the color not be too saturated/vivid, though.

And, thanks, unbel. Nice of you to say.

For the record, Murl, it was this righteous ******* piece of headwear:
