Let me begin by saying that I actually love the extra slim fit shirts by Brooks Brothers, and the ladies love them too! I paired this outfit with a navy flannel 3/2roll blazer from J Press, but I removed the coat to display the fit. In fact, I removed the coat all day to garner responses from the general public.
The class of people who loved the shirt the most were the ladies, but particularly ladies 35 and up. I had three meetings today with potential clients, and all of the meetings took place in upscale bars. In all three establishments, I was presented with drinks sent over from another lady. The cougars were on the prowl today, and I can't help but think the shirt played a role.
Regardless, upon returning home, the only lady that I allow to get my engine running was ready to go when she saw her husband in his athletic fitting shirt. It was a good day.

Very nice. Is there a significant difference between the slim fit and the extra slim fit shirts? I sometimes wear the former.
Love the trousers and shoes. Did you wear a suit or just an odd jacket? Interested in the cloth pattern.
I'm quite impressed by your cougar-relations skills. Do you by chance have a degree in cougarology?
LBF - The fit is quite a bit slimmer. The arm-holes are higher, and the shirt tail is slightly shorter. I also wear slim fit shirts, but I do endorse the extra-slim fit.
I wore a Press 3/2 roll flannel blazer.
The trousers were purchased at a Polo store. The fabric is avaliable in their MTM selection.
I like cougars, and I have always had luck with older women (back when I was single I should say).
very flattering to your Bartlett physique...
very nice, I was just in Brooks Brothers on Saturday!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Good grief. They are throwing themselves at you ... ???
I'm calling B.S. on your drink compliments from the older ladies. I mean come on, Richard. I say this as a long-time WASP 101 enthusiast. I have nothing but respect for you, Richard; but, this stretches the imagination to believe that a button-down and bow-tie had not one but many women juicing in heat over your average build and geek-chic attire. I, myself, think the outfit is very well put together; however, realistically, I understand that it is not what many consider hot or sexy. Cheers!

Uh, shouldn't you be meeting potential clients in your office?
I can only dream. it is a great look though.
Richard you have a fine physique. Most women do not prefer men with intimidating, bulked up muscles. Your rather thin physique is quite attractive.
I did not think that I would have liked the extra slim fitting shirt. However, it looks really nice in the pic. I like your trousers the best.
