ARGH! you're killing me!

Your shirts are so crammed together, the collars of some shirts are overlapping other shirt shoulders?!?!? Please relive my sartorial pain, and put some space between your shirts, man!! I like the patterns and designs of your shirts.

(Shirts are from various stores mostly in Milan or from my tailor).

As nice as I'm sure those shirts are I cringe when I look at these two pictures. You really must invest in some wooden hangers, space the shirts out and let them breathe!

It is an internet fallacy that patterns need to match. Don't worry about it.

I like it dirty! But, I'm still a teenager, so I'm pressed for room. Also, the wire hangers may be second (or third) rate, but it's money that I'd like to spend otherwise at this time. However, I know you had only good intentions, so I assure you: in a few years time I'll be doing things in a manner you'd prefer

Biscione,

I agree - I'm sure those shirts are nice but the way they're stored makes me wanna cry. Btw, are they RTW shirts or bespoke?

A mix.

When I get a bit older, I suspect they'll all be bespoke.

Not on there, summer: searsucker, madras cotton. pure linnen -short & longsleve. Recently worn, last weeks selection. Zegna (coton cashmere) Baldesarin (two-ply slimfitt) Adriano Fracassi (coton cashmere slimfitt). Some Nodus (french RTW) love their colar & cuff, the cutt is nice to. As you might notice
biggrin.gif
They are not ironed ... I first iron my shirts when i wear them, love a freshly ironed shirt. *Its just not the same when they were ironed earlier ...

BTW I think we need a "cufflink p0rn" thread. How about It?

I see some pieces there I like a lot, especially in the middle section (largely because I have exactly the same patterns)

I also appreciate to see another individual who hangs their shirts and doesn't see a need to have them at store appearance at all times.

arnach- you're not very adventurous, are you?

When I was in the checkout line for those, some guy asked me if I had a "monk wardrobe."

My closet is so filled up, I have to leave shirts folded up on suitcases that I stack on the floor alongside sweaters, etc. that are stacked on large piles of books.
