Distressed: Yet AGAIN, I received the same color memo as Charlie. In fact, I'm wearing a navy blue button-down shirt(dress). What is up? Apparently it was inevitable because I'm also wearing an olive cardi, and his plan A was an olive shirt. AUGH! I cannot deal with the possibility that our tastes or color sensibilities overlap in ANY WAY. This is the stuff of nightmares.
*This post edited by Charlie despite much kicking and protesting. He stood over my shoulder correcting me, so all facts have now been Charlie-approved. Who's the blogger here?!
Correction: the term "button-down" is being used incorrectly here. The front fasteners of the shirt while being buttons and running vertically down the front of the shirt is often used incorrectly. I believe the reference you are looking for here is just simply "...perfectly pressed shirt in navy blue cotton". The term "button-down" refers specifically to the collar of the shirt. In this case Charlie's shirt is not a button-down shirt, as it is sans buttons at the collar.
ReplyDeleteFor your reference...
"Button-down" is sometimes used incorrectly to describe the front buttoning of a shirt; a "button-down" shirt refers to a shirt with an American "button-down" collar introduced by Brooks Brothers in 1896, discussed below.

Take note of the images, specifically, the blue shirt vs the image directly below it referring to the proper use "button-down" shirt.
Wow. Someone takes his tailoring VERY seriously. I approve! I also applaud the obvious care and effort that went into your treatise, as evidenced by the utter lack of the usual power-pecking typos. Now if only you would apply the same enthusiasm and energy to becoming a Boss Win...
