I am here to feed your running gag. Anytime, fritzl.

Will you send me cuff links then? I only have some bachelor knots. I like them handmade in silver, and very simple.

The reason is a bit mad, since Amir (one of the sons) speaks English (und vielleicht auch Deutsch), but improving your Nederlands is an excellent idea. (Not that I'm saying you need to do better than you already do"”I wouldn't know.)

But 'faster' implies you're already improving it? Let me know if I can help. (Shirt=shirt, collar=boord.)

Btw: I don't think it's a club collar, because the points are sharp and not rounded. Does that make sense?

Missed this one. No, just shirts.

Can you sit down in this shirt without feeling like your stomach is going to bust at least one button open?

I have gained a few pounds since then, and I can still do that without the feeling you describe.

Yup, they are. Snagged them from your trash, sucker!

Nice. There has been quite a bit of discussion on Haroutunian lately.

Thanks - though the second one there is my favorite - looks great in person.

I just picked up maybe the nicest shirt I've ever gotten, a pale aquamarine blue and white butcher stripe in linen-cotton. I've already unfolded it, though.

Tip Top cloth, before anyone askes. CEGO has it if you want one of your own.
