Did a search and couldn't find anything that delt with this issue. Forgive me if I overlooked it.


I'm a small guy (5'10" - 145lbs) and wanted to experimen t with a shirt like this but didn't know exactly where to look.

I'd like something along the lines of this but in short sleeves

Yes, the coked out, failed musician, just got arrested for a dui after not sleeping for a week look is pretty much what I'm going for.
No idea what but it's appealing to an extent.

A makes a v-neck that fits snugly, but that doesn't look to be what you're after?

ingredients
t shirt
tape or some other marking device
scissors
sewing machine/seam surger

directions
put on tshirt
use tape or some other marking device to aid in cutting shirt
make cut
sew/surge neck

I am sure you could spend quite a large sum of money and find what you're looking for, or you could do this, or have someone like your mom or a friend who enjoys sewing do it for you and have plenty of money left over to buy said friend a cheap dinner/a couple beers etc.

A has a deep V that may work.

I think the best bet would be at Urban Outfitters actually. Their new "super vneck" BDG shirt is actually really nice. It fits slim but still drapes nicely and the v is pretty deep, but more relaxed and drapey than unappealingly low like the AA deep v. I wore it recently in my waywn pic. I like the shirt a lot and next time i'm in orlando, i'm gonna buy another one or two.

I tried on a small and a medium and went with the small, but the medium actually gave me a more relaxed draped look that i might want next time. This time, i just wanted a better cut vneck than the AA one which i just don't like all that much for some reason. You also could probably get the bdg vneck and stretch the collar out a bit too because the opening is nice and wide too, and not just a narrow v.

Thanks for the imput all. I'm going to try and stretch out a BDG super V and see how that works.

Any other suggestions greatly appreciated.
