matters sartorial
Jun. 9th, 2010 09:21 pmAges ago, I paid for several shirts from Duchess Clothier, but held off on making actual decisions about them because I had no time. That dragged on and on and on as things kept popping up in my schedule that had me running around with my head cut off, and because of Very Specific Ideas in my head and the thing where they had to keep emailing me fabric swatches etc.
Finally, I made decisions. And then couldn't find the envelope I put the swatches in. Thankfully, however, Seyta is far more organized than me and was able to remember which fabrics I meant by my description and sent me images to confirm.
I realize colors are so not consistently true online, but the fabrics for my next three dress shirts are below.

Yes, pink. I decided my masculinity could handle it. I look really fucking good in pink is the tragic fucking truth of the matter. Purple! Because wow, I need something even more internally awkward than that brick shirt, eh? Blue, because I had to. I tried to resist, and I failed (seriously, Seyta regularly tries to talk me out of owning More Blue Shirts and she's entirely right). At least it has a texture pattern!
As ever, all french cuffs. Toying with a bit wider spread on the collars (this is what all this time in the UK is doing to me). Am dithering as usual about buttons (as unobstrusive as possible on the pink and the purple; possibly white on the blue -- yeah, I suck, I know) and pockets (slightly different ones on each probably, like my last set of shirts). But damn pleased to have new shinies. Totally won't be done in time for Bristol. Totally will be with me at Dragon*Con.
