Picture kind of fuzzy but you get the idea.....Only thing I don't really like is how there are two buttons on the bottom? Maybe just leave them both unbuttoned....I'm just wondering what kind of shirts would go best with this pattern something solid probably and could it be pulled off with a non dress shirt aka t shirt or long sleeve haha..thanks

Def. solid colors. Probably an all white oxford. I would leave the bottom unbuttoned. I think it would look pretty good with a pair of dark jeans and a plain white crew neck t-shirt, if you wanted to go with a more relaxed look.

I, too, would recommend wearing it with solids.

Clothes? As long as the patterns on your shirt don't come too close in size, you should be fine. As for the bottom buttons, Dont' button 'em if you shove your hands in your pants pockets often. If you don't, then either way. It has two down there to keep the bottom looking fairly even if you decide to button all the way, which is the big reason that the bottom isn't often buttoned. That and that it's the fashion for many garments because it helps hide a gut, which is why we do it on suits. The king (of england, forget which one) was a little corpulent, and everybody copied his practice to gain favor and to avoid upstaging the king. That's the reason you won't find the bottom button open custom in many parts of the world, they simply don't share that convention. Hell, it didn't catch on in earnest in the US until after WWII.


edit: if this post seems random and irrelevant to the topic, I blame it on alcohol.
