'Do a Barrel Roll!'

You know, if I were independently wealthy--and if the company's shirts actually fit me--I'd have a closet full of threadless tees. Oh, and a t-shirt featuring this Star Fox-inspired design, created by Joseph Baum, would be my latest acquisition (assuming the folks at threadless give it the green light, of course).


The best thing about it--well, other than the fact that it's inspired by one of the greatest games ever (that would be Star Fox)--is that you don't have to be a gamer to appreciate its crazy charm. I mean, who wouldn't at least chuckle upon seeing a shirt covered with space-helmet-wearing critters?

I'm a gamer (durr), and I love Star Fox, but even I didn't see it at first! Cool.

Why don't their shirts fit you?

I should start by saying that I'm a bit picky when it comes to how a t-shirt fits me. Basically, I like a t-shirt to be somewhat snug all over -- from my (rather broad) shoulders to my (fairly slim) waist. The problem is that all of the shirts I've bought from (and returned to) threadless over the years have either fit my shoulders but been billowy elsewhere (yuck) or fit my waist but been *super* tight around my shoulders. That's more than you needed to know, though, isn't it? :)

Actually, that's pretty much the exact problem I have. Nothing fits me...

So where do you shop? Or...do you have a good tailor?

I've had a lot of luck buying t-shirts from Gap and H&M, actually -- esp. their "athletic fit" shirts. So, I tend to stick to those two stores. Where do you shop, Justin?

I love stuff form the Gap; in fact, I'm going there to find some work clothes tomorrow before Avenue Q. I've never been to H&M, though.

Although, honestly, the last time I seriously went clothes shopping, it was for work more than two years ago.

First of all, good luck with your work-clothes shopping spree, Justin!

Second: Yeah, GAP is great for fitted tees and shirts in general. So is H&M. In fact, H&M is my favorite place to go for cute, casual-ish, button-up shirts.

Third: I don't go clothes shopping much either, mainly because I can't stand shopping in general. I'd do it all on line if I could :)

I like shopping, honestly...I just never have any money. But I find that buying games and books and stuff is more fun online. Clothes, though...I could never buy clothes online unless it was a basic graphic tee. I can't NOT try things on.
