I asked if I could try one on anyway. <br /><br />I put on their trial 15 1/2 blue shirt and stepped out of the dressing room. The shirt expert gave be a thorough scan while he stood about 10' away with his arms crossed. <br /><br />'Yes. Your body is too small for your head, and the shirt is blousy. As you can see, it looks like rubbish'. <br /><br />I looked down at the folds of the shirt billowing out over my trousers. He seemed right. About the shirt, at least. <br /><br />'Do you have a slim fit?' I asked. (I have some slim fit shirts that are off the rack that looked much better than the T&A shirt.)<br /><br />The shirt expert snorted a little bit, and said: 'If you want a slim fit, you'll have to go down to [cough] Thomas Pinks. And there they'll probably even tell you it looks good'. <br /><br />Fair enough. Ben and I had been warned that the reception at T&A might be 'frosty'. Even so, we didn't have the presence of mind or the will to give the shirt expert a little static in return. <br /><br />Instead, we thanked him profusely and ran out of the shop.Nat Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12625816054763599267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11296567.post-53614144850130771492006-09-24T14:11:00.000-07:002006-09-24T14:11:00.000-07:00Really?
