Technically, i think a dress shirt should have no pockets. Pockets on the front of a shirt was a creation by Brooks Brothers in the 50s. It may give you a place to stash things ie be functional, but it does not give you a slim silhouette per se. I personally prefer my dress shirts without pockets.

Now i dont mind pockets on my "work wear" or casual shirts.

Hope that helps.

Ugh I was so happy that BBs ESF sport shirts doesn't have the logo anymore but instead of leaving it plain, they put a chest pocket.

you are NOT alone....but then again i can only really pull off the "heritage" look...not mad at the other side of things with the asymetrical stuff, slim leathers, and lanvins and shtuff (speaking of, nice ones up there^^)

at the outfit "doggie"

 

[4shoposite]

yea, there's no way to assume that dude felt more let down about "who" was wearing it than what was actually being worn...

 the fit aint even that bad. taper up the pants a bit and it's a solid look. Definitely no need for a

 

[kaws]

yeah the fit is mediocre

Guess it's because I'm looking for an actual ToJ site to order from but where/what site do you place orders with? When I google them I get a bunch of sites with just pictures...no order options (that I see at least)

It's my relaxed/slouchier look for spring so it is a bit different.

These are interpretation of classic jackets, don't mistake them for the flamboyant and gaudy sparkling jacket Lambert or Kanye wears.


Also, different PS of the colors available for the 2011 DR & Moto:

can i rock a polo with a v neck sweater on top?

today i had a black and white striped polo with a black v-neck sweater over it ..
my brother said it didnt work ..

[cryptikman]

No. Do not wear a polo and a v-neck sweater together.

any experiences with them and how do their suits fit and any suggestions on a particular one

Depends on how you're built (pause) but BR suits generally fit like trash.  Even their tailored or slim fit isn't what most would think of as slim.

This isn't true. The tailored fit works really well for me straight off the rack, and the modern fit is good after waist suppression.

Gotta agree with this dude regarding the tailored fit.  No experience with modern, though.

I'm tall and lean, and their suits fit as if they were custom-made for me.

I respect your style and opinion, but sorry, it's all the same #+** to me
