you have to use the special MMM decoder ring

It just ends up being a crummy commercial.

So, my great aunt used to work for Brooks Bros in their advertising dep't, essentially running their campaigns in the 50's/60's. She passed away recently, and my dad, going through her stuff, found old pictures/memorabilia (which look straight out of mad men) and asked BB (who now has an award for advertising excellence in her honor) if they wanted it. BB, being big on their own history, was all over that ****, and gave him a voucher for 3 MTM shirts as a thank you. Not caring nearly as much about this sort of things as I do, he gave them to me.

So now i have 3 MTM BB shirts. What2get? I'm leaning towards OCBD's in white/gray/blue, but that feels like a cop out.

That's an awful little for a lot of history.

Don't get gray. Would've been way cooler if you'd posted about the actual old BB stuff.

Good story, still! And +1 to nahneun, sort of disappointing that your aunt saved all that stuff for so long only to get a few shirts for it.

He just got suckered and BB just saved millions on their next "Bringing Back Ivy" ad campaign

I think that's why a lot of people, especially really young guys, have problems with the _. ____ fit. You can't go to _. ____ expecting to get the same kind of modern silouette you find with other brands. That's not what the _. ____ look is about. That said, sure, sizing down will slim it up for you. So I guess it's about what you want. Slim or relaxed.
Lol, where is the (10)?
