Will probably do so again this Friday night.

And the bird in your avatar? Short sleeves or long? You drew him; you should know.

He's wearing a sport jacket - so long sleeves.

Is it a sport jacket? Kinda looks like a cardigan. I mean, no lapels or anything.

I would never paint a cardigan.

Oh. Is that the singer for Hatebeak?

I can assure you that the singer for Hatebeak is not a pheasant.

Ms. McGoo, manning the computers and making the math work and firing the rockets and putting a man on the fucking moon (while chain-smoking Camel straights) is as burly as it gets!

Although the Harleys and American flag bandanas I know you're into are burly in their own way.

Also: I have no doubt that T. Stack owns the short-sleeve-tie look.

Bowtie and short sleeve shirt CAN look good for sure. But it looks better with long sleeve mostly.

Suspenders with short sleeve button up? does that seriously happen? wow.

Suspenders can be fucking rad though

That's me.

....sorry

Sorry, but this look just doesn't work anymore.
I generally don't like short-sleeves of any kind, just like short-pants. Unfortunately they are useful for "comfort" in the horror of summer's heat.

If you're going to do this, make sure you have Men's Support Hose and Garters as well as a Rupture Belt.

I think the tidy, uniform-looking aspect of it is what appeals to me too.

One major caveat, though. Many short sleeved dress shirts look to be of really awful quality. I don't think I've seen a short-sleeved shirt and thought that it looks very well-cut or of a great fabric. But when things are done right, you don't really notice these things.

It is indeed hard to find a short-sleeve dress shirt that fits well. Especially ones that don't get all blousy around the waist when tucked in. The few that I have that I really like are thrift store finds (probably from the 60's) that have a thinner-through-the-waist cut to them.
