Do you think this is a cool shirt?

In My Humble Opinion
61

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! My eyes! My eyes!!!

62

Those shirts were cool when they were dorky. You should have got it 5 years ago. Now, no way.

Your next step is getting one of these

Please don’t.

It depends on what kind of personality and build you have. I would look ridiculous wearing that. My uncle, on the other hand, would slip into it perfectly without anyone batting an eyelid. I’m a short blonde guy with slightly feminine features and a big smile. He’s a 6’4" Texan who wears snakeskin boots, a cowboy hat and jeans and is the most over the top Type A, steak eating, “if it flies it dies” macho, charismatic, good-looking motherfucker on the planet.

64

You know what? Here’s a good rule of thumb for buying clothes: if you have to ask, it’s not for you.

65

That shirt makes me want to sit down somewhere and cry.

66

Are you going to wear that to the next Dopefest?

67

**Cluricaun ** - this probably isn’t particularly fun. I guess the right answer seems to be that the type of person who might pull off the shirt probably already owns it. I have no idea how that could possibly happen, so it is scientifically impossible for you to own that shirt.

Q.E.D.

:cool:

No, I love it. I was downtown Elgin IL today and saw what I’m going to bluntly call the Mexican Cowboy Dude Store. They have *entire suits * that look like this shirt does, which I think is awesome. I’m just thinking that my wardrobe needs a little westernization. No cowboy hats or boots though, maybe I just want a little Nashville in my style.

69

Chris Isaak could (and very likely would) wear that shirt and still look cool. Therefore, the problem would not be with the shirt being inherently uncool in any way, but just that some wearers could make it stylin’ and profilin’ while the vast majority probably couldn’t.

70

See, and I don’t think that Chris Issak is cool anyway. Now if I could pass as Mike Ness then I’d be pretty stoked.

71

Being cool has nothing to do with wearing the right or wrong clothes. Being cool means not worrying about what other people think about your clothes.

72

Sounds like a lot cheaper than having the surgery. Probably messier, though.

73

I could see Mike Ness wearing something similar. I’m a huge fan of his as well, and he is awesome live.

74

I don’t know who Mike Ness is, and if he wears a shirt like that, I don’t wanna know him. :stuck_out_tongue:

75

So post a photo of you wearing the shirt already!

76

Man, that’s definitely your loss!

I’m with the wear it if you wanna wear it crowd.

I’ll add, tho, that IMO most unconventional fashion choices look better on folks who are reasonably fit.

Also, full disclosure requires that I admit that after 20+ years of marriage, my wife has pretty thoroughly culled my closet and drawers of all my Hawaiian shirts and other clothes she found objectionable.

77

I haven’t gotten it yet. I might when I get it, we’ll see how it looks first. I normally don’t like buying shirts online because I have really broad shoulders and sometimes shirts like this aren’t cut for that.

78

Pay more attention to how the neck is cut, that is where the noose will go.

79

I like it, especially the cards. Then again, I also wear things like Green Lantern and Led Zeppelin t-shirts.

Mike Ness is the leader of the band Social Distortion. Truly great punk coming out of SoCal since the 80’s. Holds onto punk energy and rebellion while embracing Johnny Cash and other country-ish themes of white trash outlaws that never win. Social D is all about tattoos and the grimy side of town. Best songs include (but are in no way limited to):

And many, many others.

I am a huge fan.
