What I always do with denim shirts for some reason. No other way to wear them AFAIK :o

@el:

You're both right, of course, the arms are too long. But I love the colour and the weight and, well, everything else. Don't know any alternative shirts like this one. And I don't like buttoning long arms as I've got a thing about weird arm-stacks. Considered a medieval rack but I have my 86 to think of too.

How much compromising is too much? How do you all decide when, however much you want an item to work, it just doesn't?

I had the same shirt delivered on Tuesday and had the same dilemma for about 5 minutes.  Its an amazing shirt and looks great in your pictures.

Thanks. To be honest, I hadn't thought about the arms until I posted it on here. Kind of shirt doublethink. I simultaneously knew they were a bit long but also knew the shirt was just right.

Dope!

@Chris:

I'd just roll up the sleeves.  Fit is great otherwise.

I was in the same boat with this exact shirt and just sold the damn thing. I hate having to cuff or roll sleeves out of necessity–for pleasure or a different look option, I am fine with it.

[madmonday]

Maybe  mrs snowy will surprise u if your a good snowman.

Hahahhahahaha, it's actually too small for me as I'm a fat bastard but the measurements and material stretch where it looks half decent open. If I come across an XL in the 2nd hand market I'm all over it

This is a L by the way

Oh & thanks for the kind word folks. Now put on your critical eye & tell me something bout my shirt being tucked all jacked or my work I'd throwing things off

[Clint_D]

Killing it as usual, monday.  What glasses are those?  Did you ever get the clear Dita's Insiders to work for you?

[Chris]

That shirt tuck is kinda jacked, since you mentioned it.

[spitfiredealer]

Yep shirt looks sloppy tucked like that.

[rocket]

getting the shirt out and not to look like if someone just stole your toy, would help… 

[el padre]

OK, here's a bit of a stripefest for you.  Thoughts?

[spitfiredealer]

would look better with just a plain white tee under it

[pillowPANTS]

I agree. I dont like patterns to be mixed

[Chris]

What are the boots?

[el padre]

Loake Thirsk.

[Snowy]

Looks okay with the jacket to me, but a little weird as a short sleeve shirt.

[grandmasterben]

I think you look great!
