IHSH-36 - White Twill Work Shirt - "THE GREAT WHITE"

[Beatle]

so clean and so fresh, fresh

[jacoavlu]

up there among the more enjoyable product threads in a while, has gone in a lot of directions
lighten up 'all! - get the Great White

[Giles]

Wearing mine to a party tonight, tucked in (as per her-who-shall-be-obeyed dictates) to my as yet unwashed Devil's Fit.  I'm expecting an impressive amount of indigo tranfer…..........

[Geo]

. . . is my only concern too

[Giles]

It'll wash out - no biggie…..............

[Geo]

actually don't mind too much any way 'round - but as you said 'her-who-shall-be-obeyed' said tucked, so tucked it shall be

[jacoavlu]

have feared the same re: indigo.
oh well, more flics for the HIJSTC thread

[osaka owl]

That looks fantastic, Beatle.
Can't wait for mine to arrive!

@Giles:

It'll wash out - no biggie…..............

"Her-who-must-be-obeyed" won't be "her-who-has-to-wash-the-bloody-indigo-stained-shirt" though!
::)

[Geo]

oops  ::)

[Beatle]

Her-who-must-be-obeyed says he-who-gives-a-damn-about-indigo-stains is a wuss. What's another white shirt in the washer…

I was tempted to wear my Great White skiing today, but thought better of it. Any chance we could see a Pink Flamingo  and Black Mamba  iteration of the Great White down the line?

[jacoavlu]

Well Big Blue is coming…

A great summer shirt, yes.
A great skiing shirt, not so sure.

ok - so a couple of things:

first, i've just had a little nap . . . all the excitement must have wore me out a bit

second, after the usual forum chat and me looking forward to 'the great white', i never really got my arse in gear to buy this . . . something was niggling at me, and that particular worm wasn't making good noises about the shirt  :-\

but then Beatle posts up her usual hi-grade shots and then i see something else . . . and very cool it was too

well, obviously that was the kick up the arse i needed, so i sent Mr G some ca$h and Mrs G sent me some goodies 

now as you now all realise my timing wasn't too great, but i still get delivery about 17 seconds after i order (which still amazes me regardless what or how often i order), but i digress . . . so i open the parcel and amongst some other lovely stuff is TGW . . . i take it out and almost feel disappointed . . .  ??? i hear you say?

well hang on, because what caught me was the lack of weight or heft of the shirt . . . but remember i've been brought up on a diet of 32's, 33's and even 37's - so something was obviously wrong

yup - you all guessed it, it was my brain that was mushed with drugs and shit . . . because this shirt is absolutely beautiful - it has finese the way some of my zegna and kilgour shirts have - all diaphanous and elegant, but it has an amazing quality the pictures can't express . . . the shirt needs to be (partly) buttoned-up, and and just enjoyed . . . with sleeves pushed up, not just neatly rolled, but crushed . . . not ironed properly or any nonsense like that, just used like a proper workshirt . . . even the argument about tucked in or not is irrelevant . . . wear it to work under a jacket, wear it on holiday with shorts . . . it just works on every level

bottom line is this; if you haven't got one . . . well let's just say you're missing out on something quite special . . .

[Beatle]

Geo - good drugs , I figure ?

You're trying to tell us that this shirt is the shits ? The best white shirt ever?  The one to wear this summer ?

[Geo]

not the best drugs beats . . . but they work to a point 

. . . and yup!

[Beatle]

glad I was able to figure it out…message delivered. have another happy cocktail

[fobsquad]
