I’m gonna start doing these “Top 5” lists on the regular. They make me actually think about what I post and challenge me. So here it goes. The king of cloths, Oxford.

1) Biased Cut

I’ve been looking at these for a long time. I really like the fact that’s it’s customizable, but I don’t have to spend more than 10 minutes thinking about it, and especially like that I don’t have to fumble around with a measuring tape. I also like that if I want to fumble around with a measuring tape, I can.

2) Gitman Brothers

I don’t have much to say about these, but I look at epauletshop.com a lot and that these shirts are just super hyped and look super crispy.

3) Brooks Brothers

This is actually more of a “I wish it fit me” thing than a “want it in my closet” thing, cause I actually do own one of these. The extra-slim fit oxford is one of those shirts that if you fit into it, then you’ve found your shirt for life. I sadly am in the awkward range that makes it too short in Medium and too baggy in Large.

4) Mark McNairy

Like everyone on Tumblr, I am up on this McNairy kick. Especially his shoes. Damn, his shoes are fine. So, this had to make the list of Oxfords I want.

Post Script. This is on sale at LAS’ online store Run Of The Mill.

5) The ones in my head

There is no shirt more perfect than the ones that you imagine in your own mind. I think of a perfectly tailored shirt that never wrinkles, never gets dirty, and never stops lookin’ straight up crispy. I know this is quite impossible, but I do plan to start making my own clothes in the future.
