Next size up was 3 inches too big, so I went with the closest. Sometimes you need a shirt you can break by flexing.

I said it before, I'll say it again: bartender in a gay club. I'm convinced now.

Oh, dang.


Of course they do! How else will they get extra tips for breaking their shirts by flexing?

I agree. Also, if we saw the way the shirt meets the pants and the cut of the pants it would probably tell us that the proportions are off (unless, of course, the jeans are equally skin-tight). Still, I'd take a tight shirt over a very loose shirt any day...

Jeans are pretty tight (101z), I'm probably going to throw them away since they're too tight to be worn usefully (cell phone and *very* slim wallet are too visible. I think I'm giving up on denim that slim.

I dont' know about that. At least hipsters can grow up to get over themselves. AmJacks just get fatter and older until they hit their midlife crisis, then try to dress "young" again, with disastrous results.

Tragically hip > just plain tragic.

Fortunately, neither one is necessary. There is no spoon, Eason.

But they pull mad bitches up until that point, bro.
