tintin said...: Stew- It's a magazine ad. I don't think that model would know how to load the shotgun.

M Lane- A bit of stealery from Nat'l Lampoon.

Fou- That dog looks a little fat.

Tweed- I'm all over those DAK cords and the split rail.; 15 April, 2010 09:57

Main Line Sportsman said...: Back in the day when one wore a necktie afield...great photo...of the English Setter. That model looks like he is more suited to "other" pursuits than Upland Game.; 15 April, 2010 11:38

Anonymous said...: Thanks, I recently purchased a gingham shirt from J. Press. However, it is way too big (broad) in the shoulders for my physique. Much more so than a Brooks Brothers shirt in the traditional fit. Is this typical for a J. Press shirt? Any chance I may have it tailored? Thanks much.

tintin said...: Hilton- If you're difficult to fit then that's what MTM is for. A cheaper alternative to MTM is to go down a size. The guys at Press are the best but they always suggest I try on a shirt or sweater especially if it's a new season. Some stuff is cut huge (this years Shaggy Dog) and some cut slimmer (last years Shaggy).

Unless you have a very good and cheap tailor, screwing around with a shirt outside of shortened sleeves ($20) and darts (?) may cost more than it's worth.; 17 April, 2010 11:00

Agree the model's head is way too big for his body. And he looks like he uses bronzer. Really creepy.; 17 April, 2010 15:44
