What kind of shirt is this?
Unfortunately, Floey has a point. There is no real master list of styles and names. I think many names have stuck due to popularity or perhaps as a more fluent means of communicating an idea to your tailor, etc.; cut-away = spread collar, Oxford bags = flared trousers... In this case, I believe...- Undertow

What kind of shirt is this?
FedoraFan, you might find this thread useful: Textile Compendium. It's a beginner's guide to textiles, very basic. It's nice to refer to if you're uncertain about textiles in general. I've pulled the following from the above link: 4. Polyester (resin): coal, air, water and petroleum...- Undertow

What kind of shirt is this?
Polyester has, in fact, improved throughout the years. What was once true about scratchy, hot polyester is not necessarily true today. If you've ever felt microsuede, you'll admit it's quite soft. If you've worn some of the poly/rayon blended polos for golfing, you'll admit it cools...- Undertow

Were there no 6'2" people born before the 1950's?
Yep, same here. I get a 17.5 w/37 sleeves. Might as well load Noah's Ark while I'm at it. On the other hand, I believe Van Heusen has started cutting shirts as regular, fitted and slim. Too bad they never have my size - or when they do, it's in some horrendous poly blend!- Undertow

Panama hat "color"
I often obsess when matching colors. However, Panama's are the exception. Most come with a black band, but you may find some with navy. It's not all that often than you'll find some with more decorative colors/stripes. Black is fine, and don't worry about contrasting colors. A fine Panama... -

Speaking of baseball, you fellas might like Ebbets Field Flannels. Lifted this link from normanpitkin on the Letterman Jackets thread.- Undertow

lol Come visit Iowa! I'd say our women average 5'2" - 5'5". Everything here is made for shorter ladies. Tall ladies? Good luck finding clothes!- Undertow

Never thought I'd go for Netflix...
I think this is why Blockbuster "busted". Netflix has been a real treat to work with, and you almost feel guilty how easy they are to use. I cancelled my membership to Blockbuster shortly after a similar "late-fee" fiasco, and the only other time I returned was two weeks ago when my local one...- Undertow

Most Depressing movies you've seen?
Haha, really? That's great. I love that album, but I think I like the "downward" feeling it gives. Maybe we're in the same boat? (btw, love that song AND its remake by Senor Cash)- Undertow

Never thought I'd go for Netflix...
It shouldn't be difficult to get out. In fact, even if you have an active account, you can regularly put it on hold or cancel it anytime. I was hesitant to join, too, but once I was able to start renting most of the Criterion Collection, as well as most Hitchcock/Kurosawa/Bergman movies, I...- Undertow

Sanitizing used hats?
I would do a visual check; if everything looks to be in order, you're fine. I think there's always been alot of finger wagging from worried mothers about children putting things in their mouth/on their heads/in their pockets, etc. If the hat's dirty, there's already a couple great threads on... -

Yeah, Mad Max was depressing. I'd forgotten about that one. In fact, the entire series was always a little depressing because it was kinda bleak.- Undertow

Most Depressing movies you've seen?
Oh god, for sure! That movie was just wrenching. You know, I loved this movie but I can totally see why it would be depressing. Love Liza (2002) - Billed as a "comic tragedy", it's actually just depressing as all get out. You watch how a wife's suicide absolutely ruins her husband; I mean...- Undertow

Retro-extremists? What are we called?
Grew up in a very similar "neighborhood"; Beaverdale in Des Moines. Everything you mentioned above was present plus a Masonic Temple, men's clothier, two churches, sandwich shop, cobbler, etc. If they would have left the light rail alone, we would have had a street car running to downtown Des...- Undertow

Listen fella's, let's all of us calm down and have a coke, okay?

Triangle Shirtwaist Fire Anniversary
Lizzie, I think you have a good point about the "invisible hand", which specifically highlights the dissonance between theoretical capitalism and de facto capitalism. People on this board, myself included, and most people in the country, would find it hard to witness the conditions human beings...- Undertow

How many of you did hide a new leather jacket purchase from wife?
I can kinda see the logic in this, but it's probably not the best possible outcome. I agree with Red Baron that little harmless secrets can be nice in a marriage, but I would turn that around and say it's more like little freedoms are nice in a marriage; i.e. the freedom for a wife to buy a...- Undertow
