Should I or shouldn't I buy... (clothing item)?

[Cool The Kid]

???????????????????? I am thinking light colors -> people with lighter skin, dark colors -> brothers? I have a royal blue tee that has become sheer just from age (it's probably close to 40 yrs old) and it looks great... I think I am gonna push the war button on a few of these puppies Only weird thing is the shirt in the pic is an XS... I think it fits fine but do these kinds of shirts shrink a lot after a wash?

Thanks I didn't consider the belt... just wanted to get a pic What's wrong with the fit? Is it too small?

I have to agree with my bosom-friend Uncontrol. It's way too sheer/transparent ( generally ) and even more so on someone with a slight "paunch". I also think that it, based on the second pic, will end up way too short after the first wash...

The good news: You're a handsome "brother" and hence shouldn't have any problems finding some good fitting, decent quality, reasonably priced tees. If you're into deep v-necks, I recommend American Vintage tees ( http://www.americanvintage-store.com/ ), which I prefer over American Apparel, Alternative Apparel and the like...

Love these, they're exactly what I'm looking for. But there's a good chance they're too small in the thigh and if they're not now, they will be in a few months. 15k yen+proxy fees.

Meh, I just answered my own question.

Yea I am not a fan of how it sits on my stomach, and I don't think I'll ever get to the point where I will lose that paunch. The AA shirts look OK online but they are almost too light in real life. Still though I'm gonna try darker colors as those won't be as revealing on me. Thanks for the heads up on American Vintage... they have a store in my hood... I will check them out

*EDIT* Here is the black one, size M, no belt

I'm gonna order it... 3 for 50 w/free shipping, ends today

1. Get the lows, imo for mid-tops spring court B2s are superior to torinos

2. Classic, definitely. Thin sole looks uncomfortable and overly feminine. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?

 

[pfurey]

Yes, but make sure you don't get any dye from the hem onto them.
