When a guy sends you photos of deadstock gab shirts...

[repeatclicks]

And tells you to take your pick (in exchange for money of course...), how do you choose?!? Ive already got a nice red arrow, and I have a Cal-Made in yellow and a Towncraft in Maroon, but I still want all of them! Unfortunately I can only get two at the moment, so I picked the rarer colors (and the ones in the colors I dont have!).

Hoping he will hold the other ones till I get some christmas mooola or somethin...

Baby Blue (a definite)

Forest Green (another definite)

Tan

Red (the only short sleeve of the lot, with white piping on collar)

Yellow

Gray

Maroon

sigh.. you can let this guy know that I'm also interested in buying some... I noticed that the shirts you've chosen are all S(mall)... I'm a modern L, long arms, sleeves should be at least 26,5 inch shoulderseam to cuff...

Take what you're going to definitely wear a lot. For me it would be simple as I only ever wear white, blue, grey or khaki shirts (combinations of those but nothing else). Therefore I'd take the tan/khaki one and the baby blue one if it were me. Think which trousers you are likely to pair them with and decide that way perhaps.

The wife makes my trousers and Im a lover of colorful things, so I went for the brighter colors. Ive got the white shirts for my 40s ties, I needed more 'sportswear' shirts to wear on a regular basis. Ive got a brown ricky jacket from Aero (same one as you djgo-cat-go) and not only does it match well with any color, it provides a nice balance to the brighter ones too.

Although I loved the gray and tan ones, they werent at the top of my list for now.

...how do you choose?!?

Choose colors which are most compatible with your complexion. Some colors, as much as I like them, just wash me out.
