Crazy Gaudy Dress Shirts

If you're looking for some crazy gaudy sport shirts, Nordstrom's is stocking Thomas Dean in LT, XLT, and up. examples here

Land's End

Really good luck this week with Land's End; they have v-neck undershirts in medium-long that are silly, silly long (3" longer than Nordstrom's pima undershirts) and about $8/each.

This year's khakis.

Online, they started selling pants in single-digit waist increments; they sell a 35 waist, which is pretty rare. But they also started selling in quarter-inch-length increments. Instead of a 34, 36, or 38, they sell everything from a 20" to 36" inseam, quarter inch at a time. My plan is to try a 35x35.75, and see how that works out.

(For those so inclined, their Long Rise pant fit still comes in a 37" length.)

Meanwhile, I'm still a big fan of Nordstrom's Smartcare Khakhis, although the "New Smartcare" - the current fit - don't seem to fit as comfortably as the ones from two years ago. They sell all normal waist sizes to a 36" inseam, and hemming is free in-store if you want that cut back to a 35", for example.

New Shirts

Eddie Bauer has a new top-level category in their website; "shirts by fit". In my case, the "slim fit" Oxford in large-tall is a *perfect* fit, and comes outta the dryer without any wrinkles. They even sell a medium tall, which is a rarity in my book. $50ish.

Their clearance was also worth following a few weeks back; $5 T's in large-tall as well.
