Patch Adams

Forgive me for the title, I'm trying my hand at pandering to the untapped market potential of Robin Williams fans - lately everyone has been telling me this blogging thing is a numbers game.  Moving on.  Some of you guys don't get down with Brooks Brothers' extra-slim fit.  When it comes to clothes, and shirts specifically, the name of the game is fit.  Certain cuts work better for certain folks.  That's just the reality of it.  I, for example, can't do Band of Outsiders.  End of story.  For those of you who find yourselves continually going back to Brooks Brothers' slim fit (or even regular fit in this case) shirts you've seriously lucked out.  BB is showing you guys a little love.  Enter their new flannel sport shirts complete with elbow patches.  As it stands right now, there is both a tan and gray option in the perfect cotton and wool blend for fall.  For those feeling left out, don't fret.  Dry your skinny little eyes and grab one of these as an overshirt.  See what just happened?  Everybody wins.  That's sartorial democracy at it's finest.  God bless America.

    To bad the tan in a small doesn't seem to exist...I'll be making some calls in the morning.

    Or you could just take it to the tailor and turn it into an extra slim fit.

    If i had the slim fit in a medium tailored I would have to shorten the arms,slim the body and the arms...making a few calls will be well worth it.

    Paul- You're the man, but I think you take me more seriously than I do as impossible as that may seem...

    Paul - Hooray for unnecessary homophobia. It's not like gay youth are killing themselves at an alarmingly high rate or anything.

    Eric -

    Bullying is part of growing up. Suicide is natural selection - gay or not.

    Anon @11:40- Holy shit, man. That may be the single most ridiculously insensitive comment anyone has ever left here. I don't even know what to say.

    These are dope and all, but part of me can't shake the feeling that patches have to be earned.

    I love that shade of brown. I'm a sucker for anything with elbow patches.
