Bought some shirts this month. 3 years ago

One, I got on sale, was one of these cotton shirts that cannot be ironed after 10 minutes of trying. I had good luck with the polo shirts, though.



Market research 3 years ago

I don’t trust my judgement at discount places and outlets. I’m blind to a good find if it’s under fluorescent lights in a pile that’s been picked over, a la Filene’s Basement or Nordstrom Rack. Think I’ll just have to go to an upscale store and observe what the customers actually wear.



Dress shirts 3 years ago

Back in the 80s’s, some independent clothing stores would provide free alterations for clothes you bought at list price, but today’s department stores don’t. It’s off-the-rack-as-is or pay extra. I fucking hate to remove umpteen pins, a cardboard insert, and a plastic collar on a dress shirt just to try it on and see if it fits.
