I just love gingham. Srsly. My raincoat is a blk&w gingham trench and I wore it Mon with a blue-and-white gingham shirt. Tried to keep my coat on and buttoned so as to prevent picnic-tablecloth OVERLOAD, but it was rly hot in Trader Joe's and I had to unbutton. When I got to the cashier, he said, "That's a lot of gingham, Dorothy."

Oh, I don't judge. I'm just saying that's where you could get it, in a more authentic, non-Fred Perry style.

do they have the equivalent of a tj maxx in london? sometimes you can score sherman and penguin there. other times you get stuck with oversized hip hop versions of these shirts with obnoxious dragons and writing on them.

i was gonna ask what's the idff between gingham and plaid but that's probably trolling (semi)
― ★ The Pistns ★ Miss You Sheed ★ (dayo), Thursday, 7 April 2011 15:34 (fourteen years ago)
Gingham is a kind of light cotton fabric with simple plaid patterns on it.

my gingham shirts get all funky after washing. not really a gingham fan.,
― Zero pumps, massive boner (thebingo), Thursday, 7 April 2011 15:40 (fourteen years ago)
yeah, gingham is a plain weave cotton fabric that has two alternating colors in both the warp and weft -- i guess you could call it a 'type' of plaid? but imo it's more of a 'check' pattern if you will
― tangelo amour (elmo argonaut), Thursday, 7 April 2011 15:51 (fourteen years ago)
It's any color on white, almost exclusively. It can be color-on-color, but they always seem like aberrations.
― Back up the lesbian canoe (Laurel), Thursday, 7 April 2011 15:53 (fourteen years ago)
Okay but Trace, you know that the fit is what rly matters here, otherwise you are gonna look like a dad from Ohio.
― Back up the lesbian canoe (Laurel), Thursday, 7 April 2011 15:56 (fourteen years ago)
right -- except if it's a large scale check of color w/ black, which would be buffalo check xp

off topic personal complaint, yeah, but it drives me nuts when something's described as 'plaid,' full stop. that's not very descriptive at all! you can be so much more specific.

laurel yeah it's tempting to pull the trigger online but frankly with my build i need a little darting - might even go for a women's cut
― 40% chill and 100% negative (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 7 April 2011 16:04 (fourteen years ago)
Those Ben Sherman's are not more expensive than the competition for nothin. They're tapered and have smaller sleeves and are basic totally different from, say, the JC Penney version.
Chris seems to have a good supplier for knock-offs, but unless they are specif copying the Brit leisure-wear style, I wouldn't do it.
― Back up the lesbian canoe (Laurel), Thursday, 7 April 2011 16:06 (fourteen years ago)
Might look nice with a linen skirt, Tracer, and (sorry, very old fashioned) saddle shoes. ;)
― Si tu parles, tu meurs. Si tu te tais, tu meurs. Alors, dis et (Michael White), Thursday, 7 April 2011 16:11 (fourteen years ago)
yeah the ben shermans are just about perfect fitting, the knock-offs are a little harder to find one with a decent fit.

― ★ The Pistns ★ Miss You Sheed ★ (dayo), Friday, 8 April 2011 00:06 (fourteen years ago)
Tracer, why are you all of a sudden becoming a suedehead? You could try H&M if you want some cheaper gingham, American apparel if you want some mid-priced, and Fred Perry if you wanna go the whole way. Pics please:)
― Virginia Plain, Friday, 8 April 2011 05:56 (fourteen years ago)
american apparel has gingham?? god i am so out of it
― 40% chill and 100% negative (Tracer Hand), Friday, 8 April 2011 09:21 (fourteen years ago)
have you checked in uniqlo recently? they've definitely been keeping up the good plaid patterns, can't remember whether they've still got a bunch of gingham in.
― c sharp major, Friday, 8 April 2011 09:37 (fourteen years ago)
(but i'm sure i've seen some in there before)
i've just looked at the AA site and their check pattern is way too tight for me, i like it bigger than that.
thanks cis - i will check out the westfield uniqlo today!

― Zero pumps, massive boner (thebingo), Friday, 8 April 2011 13:32 (fourteen years ago)
i found one in debenham's for £25, exactly what i wanted (still too expensive though)
not as nice a fit as the ben sherman but the ben sherman's collar sat up really high and weird, had "BEN SHERMAN" embroidered on the pocket, and cost £45
― 40% chill and 100% negative (Tracer Hand), Friday, 8 April 2011 14:26 (fourteen years ago)
the fred perry was, as i mentioned, £60, and had the fred perry logo embroidered on the pocket like a big fuckin fanny
― 40% chill and 100% negative (Tracer Hand), Friday, 8 April 2011 14:27 (fourteen years ago)
in the kids' department i found one for my son too! it cost £12. less fabric i guess.
i think you'll find that most ben shermans have the name embroidered on it.

the shirt is made by "maine new england" by the way. too long to embroider i guess. the thread alone would cost £10.

Haha, too gingham, as if that would even be possible. It was too short, and I felt uncomfortable on the subway, so when I realized that I had forgotten to take the tags off it seemed prudent to return it. I don't know why I did that though--it was only like $20 to begin with. Oh well, there will be other gingham dresses, I'm sure.

It was a bit too fast though, with not enough tension, and too quickly resolved. I guess when you are Tracer Hand, you just decide that you want something and go out and get it, simple as that.
