Well the ones that are coming in are very nice. The sizes are quite
big still though. However I am glad to say I didn't grab one check
pattern.. just a nice black and french blue. They were about 50
dollars a piece from the local store that sells Diesel and all the
hipster clothing.. None the less I find it fun to wear them
specifically because of the famous "That shirt is something else,
that shirt, the shirt... It's a Ben Sherman" sample from the infamous
Meat Beat Manifesto original. (perhaps some of you have music roots
from there.. )
There is just something in having a particular article of clothing
that had some weird influence on your life.. The skinhead thing..
well that I guess is just a skinhead thing to me and nothing else.
None the less, its a quality shirt.. and an alternative with a story.
