That's the advantage of a tailored shirt. I'm only 6'1", maybe 6'2", but I usually go to stores that carry dress shirts for Big and Tall.

I think the shirt stays look more annoying than having to re-tuck a shirt. Haven't tried them though.

It would be cool if Google Maps had package tracking capabilities. You would enter the tracking number in the search bar, and it would pull up the origin and delivery place of your package, as well as the current location of it.

Indeed, that looks like it would drive me mad moving around all day. Seems like when you sit and have your knees bent it would slide past your knee and then pull at the back of your pants making a weird wedge. Then stand up and it slides back in front again. Maybe if you were a salesman or something where you were standing all day, but if you sit I'd think it would be maddening.

Could you imagine collecting every US version of Dragon's Lair? Also, totally intentional that if you say it with the pause in the right spot you get Dragon Slayer? Hmm?

My problem is that I get really cool licensed shirts, and then I'm afraid to wear them because then they won't be as nice anymore.

Wash them inside-out.

I guess they get cleaner that way?

No, it protects the graphic (which I'm assuming was probably silk-screened.) Imagine if you walked for two hours solid rubbing your chest against the wall. Would you expect your shirt to look the same?

And in the gentle cycle or by hand. It helps keep any logos/prints/embroidery/etc. in better shape.

I have two "King's Gyros" T-shirts that are my "lucky" shirts, and they're at least five years old and they have only faded a little because of extra care. I also hang dry them.

I'll never mind business dress, but putting on sneakers, jeans and a favorite T shirt is a thing of astounding comfort.
