Why don't they stop to think? Seeing that kind of price puts me off immediately: someone wanting more to ship a shirt than a pair of wingtips.
I was on some site the other day, can't remember now, they wanted 150USD to ship to Europe. Insane.
For sheer lunacy, though, nothing beats Amazon.
Thanks. I did see that earlier in the week. He has it listed as a polo shirt? What's that about?
Also judging by the collar it's in some state. Probably not £7.50
The original polo shirt. They like to tell you.
Ah I see. Well it look like it may be THE original judging by the state of that collar.
Looking at the listing again, maybe it would be worth a £7.50 punt and hope that vanish can deal with that collar grime?
I don't mind about old. I'm just looking for decent button downs at decnt prices. What is the chances of this shirt fitting me? I'm 5'6 with a 36" chest and I'm looking for something baggyish on me. Say around 20" inch to pit.
Do any of you think there is a chance that those grimey lines will come off of the collar with some Vanish bleach?
I take a 14.5 anyway, but coming across one of them cheap on ebay is very rare. Infact I've never seen it!
Still getting my head around the proportions of these BB super tents, so thanks for the info.

stunning uni stripe. How common were yellow uni stripes with BB? It seems to be by far the rarest colour(apart from orange which I've only seen once).

Gah! Why are they half a size too small, why? Can you stretch shoes by half a size?

Oddly, I cannot get a look at it. 'Invalid page'. Bloody computers! A Shetland jumper might be a sterling example of something that is 'fetishised' in the USA. I like Kingstonian's remark about BHS. Life seemed simpler in those days.
