Weekly Wrap Up 7/11 – 7/15

Deal of the Week – Timex T Series:  White Dial – $112.41* | Black Dial – $88.00 ($110)
Proof that Timex is on the right track.

Applause for Timex.  Their T-Series perpetual calendar is a great looking watch for around $100.  The black dial is especially a great deal because even at the reduced $88.00 (use the code SUMMER11) it ships free.  It was a tough week to decide for this category.  Because despite the upper level prices, there’s still some incredible deals to be found within Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale.  (Also, under $100 shipped for polarized sunglasses ain’t half bad either) *White dial isn’t fulfilled by Amazon, so careful there.

You want a little room. Not a lot.

G.I. Joe was wrong.  Knowing isn’t half the battle.  Having a tailor is.  (Or maybe, knowing you need a tailor would still prove G.I. Joe’s theory?)  Even if you’re overweight, you don’t want to look an extra 10 pounds overweight.  Off the rack dress shirts, even slim fits, will need alterations to avoid looking like a poncho.

Cast down thy chains to Fruit of the Loom!

This turned into a debate over the merits of undershirts when it’s hot.  Do they really prevent your shirt from getting damp in the pits?  Or do they just get wet, hold the wet, then continue to transfer the wet to your exterior shirt throughout the day?  To each his own, but… ditching the undershirt is worth a shot if you haven’t tried it.
