The Polka Dot Shirt

I have a feeling of confusion towards my own taste when it comes to polka dot shirts. I would think that i would think that they were a bit over the top and flashy, but what i actually think is that i think the small dots might be just enough to make the shirting stand out while maintaning a classic, dressy look. I particularly like Engineered Garments version (top), because they utilized the club collar, which really gives it a more toned down look. Unfortunately, i cant find that shirt anywhere, so i might be forced to purchase the In God We Trust shirt (bottom), which i like significantly less and is made by a brand with a stupid fucking name. If you also want to be second rate, heres the link.

Videos: Bjork vs. Fever Ray

This might be a bit of an unfair post. Thats because Bjork has constantly enlisted the most famous video directors in the world (Chris Cunningham, Michael Gondry, Nick Night, Etc) for her visuals and Fever Ray has chosen relatively anonymous Swedes. Still though, the relative newcomer has put bjork to the test, so heres some new Fever Ray videos, and a couple classics from Bjork.

3/4 Sleeve: Get the Fuck Outta Here

The 3/4 sleeve is the worst thing to happen to sleeves since short sleeves. I know its not a new concept, but it seems to be gaining momentum, which is terrible. Its like the capri of shirts, awkward and goofy, and a great way to ruin a perfectly good pattern.

Pendleton Pocket Tee's

It used to be that a day didnt pass that i wasnt decked out in my coolest Supreme t-shirt that everyone pointed at and said, "Wow thats soooo rare, im super of jealous of him." Unfortunately, no one is jealous of me anymore, becuase i rarely wear t-shirts. In fact, the only t-shirt ive really worn in the last year has been a pendleton one. They are made of a very sturdy cotton, have a good fit, and keep up no matter how many times you wash them. I also happen to think that the pocket and leather tab give them a nice clean look, so i dont feel to dressed down when i wear one. I do suggest sizing down though.

(You can see me pictured above wearing the black version)
