You are not right about the Dillards site.<br /><br />I went to it before posting with the intention of linking the shirt to the site but couldn't find it. I contacted LINCS and they advised since this shirt is in the new Spring 2010 collection (see the link I did post) Dillards had not put it up yet. <br /><br />Dad- What you didn't give me in sartorial advice as a kid was more than made up for in other areas. Humor being way up there. <br /><br />Tater- I feel like I'm back in a senior level Chaucer course. <br /><br />Anon 6:31 - Always.<br /><br />LBT- I agree. About the shirt and expressing an opinion. But I was outta line. If I was to do it over I would ask simply for something to clean off my windows.

We had fun. I'll leave it that.<br /><br />You may have to go to BC for yellow Uni stripes, eh. <br /><br />DAM - Yeah, I think EPCC was the only CC with its own bow tie. <br /><br />Anon 16:53- The 100K was a major tab but otherwise I've been lucky. Just keep changing the oil every 3K. <br /><br />Anon 16:59 - It feels like an oxford. I'll check with LINCS. I loathe SUVs as much as REB hates Hermes ties.<br /><br />LPC- In all its glory.<br /><br />People's Biz- Man, there's a lot of fabric sniping going on. I'm fairly familiar with Uni stripe oxfords since I've been wearing 'em for 35 years. It looks like an oxford to me but in a much brighter stripe not to mention the orange stripe inside the shirt. I guess you're supposed to roll up your sleeves to get the full effect of that. <br /><br />ME- Yes, I remember. That was a very long time ago. And even though I feel the same on the inside...I don't look the same on the outside. The good thing is people in NY and NJ don't carry guns like they do down south. Otherwise, I would a been shot a long time ago.<br /><br />M Lane- That's an idea.
