Pique & ‘Hide

Sorry for the previous rant lol. Anyways, I know I've said I've said I have multiple write-up posts in mind, and I have another to add to the list: seersucker vs madras, in disrespectful honor of the extreme heat my region is dealing with at the moment. Unlike the other little write-ups I have planned, I'd like to do some proper research on each fabric, show some examples from my collection, throw in my preferences and whatnot. I just fear that it'll turn into one of the many little essays on fashion that we see everyday. We will see how that goes.

It's such a pain trying to find a decent green OCBD; I mean yeah, there's probably a couple hundred to pick through on secondhand sites, but they're all going to be PRL or retail priced striped no-iron BB shirts. Now of course I love RL; I think they've dominated the entry-level price & decent price market of Oxford shirts, and Ivy clothing in general, but as I've gone through this fashion adventure, I have preferences that RL just doesn't meet when it comes to shirting. I say all this to say that finding a decent solid green OCBD sucks because the market is composed almost entirely of secondhand PRL and I don't want those because PRL has to stick its damn pony where a shirt pocket should be. I want a shirt pocket. That's all

Bought a copy of The Ivy Look and it still hasn't arrived... I'm anxious to have and read it soon.
