The best-fitting oxford button-down I've ever encountered, perfect if you are skinny or have an athletic build. A bit on sizing: unlike their extra slim fit dress shirts (which come in regular shirt sizes, e.g. 15/35 or whatever) these come in S, M, L, and XL. I'm a 15/35 and the medium fits me really well before washing (see picture below for an idea of the fit, I'm 6'1'' if that helps).
Right now (today only) Brooks Brothers is 15% off everything, and you get a $10 discount for registering at their website. So you can cop 3 of these shirts for around $150, which is an absurd steal. Consider it.
Loveline (when it had Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew as hosts) was the greatest radio show of all time. This is an archive (unfortunately, mostly low-quality mp3s) of lots of episodes from their golden era, which was at least 1995-2002 (when I stopped listening to the show regularly—it probably stayed just as good until Adam left in 2005).
This show taught me almost everything I know about drugs, sex, relationships, social dysfunctions… Here are some of my favorite episodes:
September 4, 2000: Adam blows Drew out of the studio with gas (if this does not make you cry laughing, get your sense of humor checked) September 9, 2003: Adam and Drew make fun of PSAs, about halfway through the show they get their best "smoke detector beep" caller of all time April 21, 2002: Adam is drunk in Las Vegas (show's opening minute lets you know how great it will be), many veal/venison quizzes, one prompts the best response I've ever heard (from a particularly clueless caller)
I can vouch for Spacca Napoli (Chicago), A16 (my favorite restaurant in SF, just fantastic), 2 Amys (DC), Punch (Minneapolis). Next time you want some pizza, get your shit together and go to a place that makes it right. If it's on this list, you're guaranteed a great meal.
Martin + Osa is American Eagle's J.Crew competitor and they have some pretty good clothes. Unfortunately AE did a horrible job of promoting the brand so it's going out of business this summer. Hence almost everything on their site is marked way down, and this weekend it's all 30% off on top of that.
Consider their super-slim jeans (fit like Levi's 511s I think) and that green popover. Also, check out the belts and shoes. And if polos are your thing: they're probably about $15 each, all discounts told. Stay away from their dress shirts unless you're cut like a marshmallow.

It's true, this is the best way pizza can be. There's a really nice place in Ann Arbor that deserves to be on the list, though. The dough is a little breadier than is traditional, and there are plenty of more experimental toppings (fontina and grape with a sprinkling of bleu cheese is great), but it's excellent. They also have some really nice soups, pastas, and pastries.

Yeah. It's that effect where the photo has a lot of vignetting and shift into green-ish tones to resemble old film production.
I'll make an example: It's a pretty bad picture to lomo due to the sky but w/e

thanks a lot for the explanation, yes this is a very popular effect amongst flickr "photographers" (whether digital or film). Probably for the worse, it definitely gets annoying with overuse.
I used to love Lomo style until everyone and their brother started shooting in it -.-

Awesome man! Glad to have influenced your choice.
For your first visit I highly recommend staying simple and just ordering a pizza margherita (mozzarella, tomato sauce, basil). This may sound bland but believe me, the combination of good ingredients + salt + olive oil + wood fire will blow your taste buds away. Good luck and tell me how that place is! I've yet to find a restaurant on that list that isn't top quality, but would be interested in being proved wrong.

Thanks but about LATFH, seriously? I just don't get it, what is the long-term appeal? It's sort of funny the first time you happen upon it, but beyond that…
it's not like that blog offers any good photography, or diverse and fascinating subjects, or beautiful things, or insight into a variety of styles / cultures you might not encounter otherwise. It's so narrow.

yes there is, silly pretentious jwd~
haha to each his own, obviously I'm exaggerating to encourage people to try out something I like. American pizza has its merits but I seriously prefer the Italian version. Flavor without having to resort to garlic and onion powder, processed ingredients, too much salt? Yum.

Yeah, there aren't that many with good design, which is a shame. The solid colors are better.
When Loveline was on k-rock in ny I used to listen to it almost every night going to sleep, and I have probably a good 10 eps on my ipod. I'm pretty excited about this archive.

same here man, I'd listen to loveline as I fell asleep when I was in middle school. I shared a room with my brother and sometimes it'd make me laugh so loud I'd wake him up (despite trying my best not to).
yeah you can also check out http://sayingmahalo.com/ , I didn't link it because the archive has more episodes I think. The advantage of Saying Mahalo is that each show has a few notes that tell you about its contents / funny callers.

So when I don't shave, the stache emerges naturally. It's a really unfortunate look.

Yesssssssss. Man do I love me some Loveline. This guy used to run a server with a random stream and I would just stream it all day ("Phil's Loveline Archive"). It went down a few months ago though
Adam runs a podcast now but it's not nearly as great as Loveline was. The premise of the show and Adam + Drew team was something special.
Seriously great radio. Listening to that show you could go from laughing like you've never laughed at some stoner pothead calling in to quietly listening about a troubled but intelligent nine year old girl talking about her abusive father. Rarely is something so funny and informative and so interesting at the same time.
The girl is hot... but it really bugs me when girls wear those really high pants. For some reason it just rubs me the wrong way... I far far prefer the low cut jeans

really? I think high-waisted pants and especially skirts are very flattering to the female figure…they make a woman look skinny but also show off her hips. I'm glad the high waist is making a comeback, more eye candy while walking around town.

I've always had problems with dress shirts. I just found out today my body type is athletic, this explains so much
I feel your pain. As for dress shirts, you just need to get your size right and you should be fine (though stores usually don't keep a big stock of sizes with large neck-sleeve differential). S-M-L-sized shirts are the real humdinger, they're never cut trim enough / the sleeves are always too short.
If you are looking for a cheaper alternative to the BB extra-slim, I've found Land's End Canvas's poplin shirts to be a pretty good fit as well. They are a bit more casual than the BB extra-slim but come in more colors and are about half as expensive. The deal-breaker for me is that the sleeves are about an inch shorter on the medium Land's End shirts, but I have abnormally long arms. If you're a 15-16 34 the medium should be about right.

this blog inspired me to update my wardrobe. i went to jc penny to get a black dress shirt i needed and since i was the only person in the store this old lady and a gay guy had me try everything on. (I read that over and don't take it the wrong way, it wasnt creepy )
my size is exactly 15-16/36. I'm just under 6' though so whatever you call the bottom part of the shirt is usually too long. my other friend is tall as shit and i just let him know about all of this. its a conspiracy

But the ending is basically you go to work and no one is on the road, no one at work. Then you walk outside the building roof and see yourself jump. The End. So fucking retarded.

totally agree with everything on this list, except the pizza. I am completely in love with the brooks brother's extra slims, one of the very few shirts I've found that don't mushroom like crazy when tucked in. All in all, great list. Good music, good clothes, good women.

There has to be other ppl out there who think super skinny jeans on guys is kinda feminine. I can't be the only one who thinks that guys should stick to looser close and nothing skin hugging (unless it's for utility like for athletes). But again, that's my personal stylistic opinion. I think skinny jeans are part of a certain crowd and I also think that for Asian guys (as in guys living in Asia [not Asian Americans]), super skinny jeans is more mainstream.

To each his own, but I look at the second picture you posted and just think "that man's clothes do not fit". I'm not going to advocate obnoxious, skin-tight jeans (which the first picture is bordering on, hard to tell because the wash is so dark) but I really believe that if you have several inches of extra material around your pant leg you are doing something wrong.
Just because we're men doesn't mean that it's acceptable for us to all dress like we are 40-50 pounds overweight. If you're tall or slender you should wear clothes that will make your good physique obvious, not hide it. That's good advice no matter your sex.
