Know When To Say When Pt. II
I love me some Ralph, but his designers seriously need to take a step back for a quick second - they are on some serious check yourself before you wreck yourself type shit as of late. Much like those pants from a while back, this shirt is mind boggling. I am all for the go to hell aesthetic, but I don't even know what to make of this madras tuxedo oxford (thanks for the heads up Tucker). At least with those cargo pants I could totally imagine people buying them and thinking they were "awesome" and totally authentic, but I cannot imagine a single scenario where somebody actually purchases this shirt. Seriously, try to think of one and let me know if get anything. Rugby normally does a great job reinterpreting prep and Ivy for the younger set. This is not one of those instances.

It looks hideous by itself but maybe it could be cool under a closed jacket.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I wouldn't rank this as one of the worst things they've done. I like the idea behind it, though I can't imagine when someone would want to look like they were wearing a normal madras tuxedo shirt. If someone wore this without a jacket of some sort, I agree that it would look pretty awful.
ReplyDeleteThis is not my style and didn't have a hand in it but under a midnight blue tuxedo (peak lapels of course) I think it could be pretty wearable to a summer wedding...
ReplyDeleteThis shirt will unavoidably hit the sale rack as no customer will give it a second glance. It will probably go 25% off, then 50%, then 80%. By then it will be around $19. At this point, I may or may not be willing to pick it up, but if I did, I would totally rock it under a linen jacket or tan suit, as long as i keep it buttoned up. It's a stretch, but I think I could make it work. Call me crazy.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. This is just a bad idea all around.
ReplyDeleteThese sort of things are invaluable.
ReplyDeleteThey help you spot imbeciles at 500 yards.
Hopefully by the time you pass you've been able to suppress your laughter.
They've got enough to deal with without your rudeness.
Will crap like this become our version of the acid-washed jeans of the early 90s?
ReplyDeleteI was browsing rugby, trying to find something to take advantage of the 25% off. I saw this and it completely blew my mind. How was this ever deemed acceptable?
ReplyDelete"they are on some serious check yourself before you wreck yourself type shit"
ReplyDeletehaha, love this line.
My wife and I have a name for these things when we see them in catalogs, it's the "Oh, Hell, Let the Intern Design Something design of the month!"
ReplyDeleteThis is an abomination.
ReplyDeleteFAIL for concept.
FAIL for implementation.
I doubt if the police would even arrest someone for shop lifting this item.
ReplyDeleteIt's removal from the store could only be seen as an charitable act.
Lol that shirt was a mindf**k. It looked like a pink cardigan over a madras.
ReplyDeleteBaby Jesus is crying over that shirt.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the recent tone of unbashedlyprep- not a fan
ReplyDeleteThis might be wearable if the madras portion actually had some pink in it. Actually, no, I don't think even that would help this shirt.
ReplyDeleteWho's the model?!
