fedora and flat cap are the only ones I can think of. I am not a hat person. you be better off asking MC. Hats aren't the easiest accessories to pull off IMO

Hey Prada, thanks a lot. I have one more question, are all American Apparel shirts on the longish side? Are Alternative Apparel shirts cut shorter?

I'm about your height (5'9) and have had a lot of luck with these types of Perry Ellis shirts. They accentuate the shoulders and look slim in the waist without strangling you or exacerbating whatever tiny-size love handles you might have down there. (I assume by 'athletic', you mean mesomorphic and somewhat muscular, not heroin-thin -- in which case those ultra-fitted tees might be for you. Damnit.). Anywho, the crewneck varieties^^ seem to be perpetually on sale for $10-$20 at Dillards. Compared with similar t-shirts, the mediums are very short on me (just past the waist), making them great undershirts. Amazon carries similar items from time to time.

I'm 5'8" tall and a 37" chest. I want to buy a QUALITY Loopwheel Sweatshirt. I can't decide between a Buzz Rickson (medium) or a STUDIO D ARTISAN in a size M. Any comments / advice would be much appreciated.

For sweatshirts, I've only had Studio D'Artisan between these two brands, but I can say that the quality is great for that one. It's a relatively heavy sweatshirt, and it fits about a size small (I wear a size L in most American brand sweatshirts and had to go up to an XL on this one).

Thanks very much. I'm usually a size S, so I was going to size up. The STUDIO D ARTISAN is more expensive than the Buzz.

I have a question regarding proxying.

There is a certain jacket (belstaff trialmaster) I want that is available overseas. (ie. the UK).
I was wondering would it be cheaper (or overall better) to purchase online from a retailer directly or getting someone to proxy to the US.

I think I remember that sale, but I was way too late on it.
