It varies; currently I'd have to go with a blue herringbone Coton/Linen blend by Carlo Riva. There's a certain sheen to it not common in linen blends which I oddly enough appreciate. I don't usually wear shiny shirts.

Coming from the guy who looks like a Mao Zedong look-alike in his $4000 suits that his mommy and daddy buy for him.

My facetious suggestion that you ask Tom Ford about Riva cotton was meant to get you thinking about whether you should be rushing into things without really knowing what you're doing. After all, that's how you got in trouble with your Tom Ford suit. You assumed Tom Ford was the greatest thing ever and ignored everyone's warnings attempting to bring you back to earth, insisting we couldn't possibly know better than Tom Ford, the Most Trustworthy Super-Master-God-Tailor in the Universe. The next thing you know, you're in an ill-fitting, half-rayon suit with tumor-shoulders that cost nearly $4,000, and everyone has to spend days pitching in to help you get it fixed. As if all the preceding wasn't already too ridiculous to be true, it turns out all you wanted all along were shoulders that fit and some waist suppression.

Now, you are thinking of buying several hundred dollars worth of shirting fabric you know nothing of other than by reputation. Are you really surprised that patience with you is running thin?

Wrong. I look like Mao Zedong with or without my suits.

I don't think it's very nice to make fun of foo's appearance or to say he looks like Kim Jong Il or something.
