@spatialdrift Cotton holds too much moisture against your skin. If you can afford it, merino wool is a much superior fiber. My wife got me a long sleeve merino wool base layer shirt. I never would have spent that much on it but man was it worth it. Far and away the best garment I have ever owned.
@madanthony I hate to break it to you but your state is more than happy to take your money for any frivolous purpose. Add classic vanity plates to the list. Claiming that cars from the nineties are classics doesn’t make it true…it’s just a way to market premium registration fees to more suckers.
@tweezak- i think the brand’s name Is Tailor Vintage, but the shirt is neither Tailor made, nor Vintage by age!! BTW, i can’t beleive they sell for $58 each,…i hesitate to buy’em for around,$8.50 each! Oh & they’re actually simply winter shirts!!
@madanthony@tweezak
We have expanded use vintage plates available here that can be used for daily driving, but only from March to November. They are also far cheaper than regular license plates. (We also have regular antique plates which have greater restrictions and and nearly free)
In 1989 I was so excited to get classic plates for my 69 Camaro when it became 20 years old, I remember counting down the years. Lol At 25 years old it became eligible for an antique plate. I’m in CT. and for a while we only had one plate. Having a antique plate put stipulations on how often it could be driven and since it was my daily driver I never got the antique plate. With either plate the taxes were extremely low and you didn’t need emissions.
Today things have changed and they only have one type of “special” plate that covers several types of vehicles along with similar conditions of limited use, $500 tax, keeping it authentic etc. … … VROOM VROOM!
Ironically, and just like me, these shirts they’re offering today also come from Connecticut. Personally, I just can’t wrap my head around this polyester athletic fabric that’s supposed to keep you cool. You won’t catch me wearing it that’s FOR SURE!
@1DisabledWarVet@El_Oel@Lynnerizer@madanthony I see the point but think about this…a 2006 Dodge pickup would be a classic today by that standard but they were literally built by the millions, are so common that you can’t go a day without seeing a dozen of them and basically are virtually visually identical to the current generation. I think scarcity really needs to be a factor in that categorization.
@Konraden@madanthony Damn. And I thought my 93 Corolla was just another clapped out piece of junk. Little did I know I was sitting on a gold mine like half of the other people in town who also owned one. I wonder why teenagers weren’t coming up to me all the time saying how sick my ride was.
Mass produced modern cars are not classics until they become rare. In my opinion they are just a utilitarian commodity.
OK, so where are the UPF 50+ Sun PANTS to protect my bottom half from the Sun?? You want to see me walking around like a half-moon cookie meh??
/showme a guy wearing a Tailor Vintage UPF 50+ Sun Shirt while his legs are unprotected so they get a deep dark tan. When he takes off his shirt he then looks like a half-moon cookie with a pasty white chest and dark, almost chocolate colored legs.
@chienfou@tweezak
Ha! Me too! Being Lebanese I get a nice rich dark tan.
My response to that AI picture was going to be NICE TAN!
Both my dad and I were outdoors so much that we’d always have a pretty dark tan all year round. Unfortunately, I’m paying for it now, I just called the dermatologist for another terrible looking spot on my leg. The sun also feels so much stronger today than it did 40 plus years ago.
@Lynnerizer@tweezak
sorry to hear you are having to see the Dermo soon. I need to get my ass in to get checked out some time… So far I am (thankfully) fairly blemish free…
@chienfou@retro603 It just reminded me of the “White Like Me” skit SNL did years back. Eddie Murphy wore white face and infiltrated white society. Absolutely hilarious.
I learned the hard way that a regular cotton T-shirt offers very little UV protection. I got the worst sunburn of my life through a T-shirt. My arms were fine, since I’d put sunscreen on them.
@DLPanther go on eBay or the like and order yourself some sunscreen from Europe. The stuff they have it so much better. The *benzone active ingredients in US sold stuff stings my skin and gets in my eyes and burns. Not a problem I have with the imported stuff. Expensive - even for sunscreen - but worth every penny.
OOPS, i checked the Tailor Vintage site & their shirts, e.g., their dress shirts are like $128, so getting that on sight info made me reconsider a purchase.
I can’t believe how aspirational and productive things have to be now.
There’s another video from a psychologist who talks about the demonization of video games in Asia: if you play a handful of hours a day to relieve boredom, the government deems you an unproductive addict and to get a job with more busywork; but if you play for 12+ daily, you’re aiming to be a professional e-athlete (a state-sponsored national sport) and thus a patriot.
@TimW I ordered Medium and that’s what shipped. They are slightly loose fitting, but not sloppy loose, which is fine as it allows for an inner layer in cool weather. (Yeah, cool weather. It might happen.)
@monaxtc it has happened in the past to me on other orders…sometimes they just sell more than they thought they had or sell too many of a certain size than they actually have.
Got my order of XL in. I generally go for a XXL so it’s slightly looser fitting. I’m 6’3” and not thin, let’s say generously stocky….
The XL was slightly loose and comfortable. I would expect the XXL to be blowing in the window. Almost length was good too.
If they had more, I’d buy another set.

What is Meh’s aversion to cotton?
@spatialdrift Cotton is a commodity. Polyester from China is probably made from our recycled waste and a non-zero chance of household hazardous waste.
@spatialdrift Remember, Meh sells all the stuff that other outfits didn’t want.
@spatialdrift Cotton holds too much moisture against your skin. If you can afford it, merino wool is a much superior fiber. My wife got me a long sleeve merino wool base layer shirt. I never would have spent that much on it but man was it worth it. Far and away the best garment I have ever owned.
@spatialdrift @tweezak
But probably a bad choice for a sun shirt!
@spatialdrift I regularly burn wearing cotton. I bought UV sleeves, and they feel like regular old polyester, but they actually do work.
This is from a time I wore a long-sleeved striped cotton shirt.
@lisagd22 @spatialdrift That’s amazing. Sort of like a photo negative
@lisagd22 @spatialdrift you should cut out images to do sunburn reverse tattoos.
@mehcuda67 @spatialdrift
@lisagd22 Did the shirt have polyester stripes?
Since when is 1993 vintage? Maybe with wine. I must be medieval.
@tweezak If it were a car it would be old enough to get historic license plates in my state (and probably a bunch of others)

@tweezak Actually, at least in my state, historic tags are significantly cheaper than regular tags, and also don’t require inspection.
You are, however, not supposed to use it as your daily driver, only occasional use.

@madanthony @tweezak I hate to break it to you, but there absolutely cars from the 90s that are classics. You’re just an old now.

I totally agree, just because something is old doesn’t mean it’s a classic or coveted.

Aw…we LOVE you Lynn!
Option 3: You wear whatever suits you, and stay indoors like a sensible person.

@mediocrebot @MrGoodGuy Mulatto? Black from the waist down. Ending this post here.
@tweezak
Nope.
I’m a white guy but during the summer my legs and arms were frequently darker than several of the Blacks I worked with at the hospital.

@Lynnerizer @tweezak
yep. Don’t want it to be an ‘ignorance is bliss’ type deal!

I know, right! I almost was THAT girl until the first one popped up. You can only get away with that once though!
@chienfou @tweezak the what now? Get your mind right, thats a gross thing to say

Excuse me … Do what? What did I say??

That was an awesome bit. I loved the bank scene.
Ranked right up there with the Stevie Wonder ad for Canon cameras. The epitome of point and shoot
EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!
$174? Wtaf?

@stinks
The term… “what the market will bear” comes to mind. Obviously this was not it. That’s why they’re here at meh now.
I learned the hard way that a regular cotton T-shirt offers very little UV protection. I got the worst sunburn of my life through a T-shirt. My arms were fine, since I’d put sunscreen on them.
And then I had a nine hour flight.

Hey, My Toyota Xcab is Vintage 1992…
Daily Driver 150K miles… 5 Speed, cuz what else?
@Mandamm '05 Scion xB, 5 speed; I say that it’s my Emotional Support Stickshift. (With a shiny new clutch, yippee!)
@Mandamm
If that’s your primary vehicle you’ve done a remarkable job at keeping the mileage at well under 100 miles per week!
I hate sunscreen so much I wear long sleeved UPF shirts and a floppy hat when I’ll be outdoorsing for a while even when it’s 100 degrees out.
@DLPanther
… did my wife open an account here??
Oh wait, she wears sunscreen too. Never mind!
@DLPanther go on eBay or the like and order yourself some sunscreen from Europe. The stuff they have it so much better. The *benzone active ingredients in US sold stuff stings my skin and gets in my eyes and burns. Not a problem I have with the imported stuff. Expensive - even for sunscreen - but worth every penny.
Right now, the state that has purchased the most of these is … Wyoming? I guess the shirts protect you from the sun away from the water too.
If they had 3x, I’d be all over this deal.
Being originally from Connecticut, I would have bought the 3-pack with “Crew,” but sold out now, so Oh Well…
Tailor Vintage sounds like a singing tour 20 years from now.
How is the length? I have bought a few of these at Sam’s and they are too short for my torso. Sad!
Who is certifying the UPF number?
I JUST bought some of these
oh wait, you guys are sold out of 2x. Never mind. Unless someone has any idea how the fit is?
At 24$. I’ll donate them to my sailing club if the XL doesn’t fit.
/giphy gorgeous-gripping-side
Nobody calling out the Into the Blue reference? I would’ve gone Stepbrothers and the Boats ‘N’ Hoes scene.

OOPS, i checked the Tailor Vintage site & their shirts, e.g., their dress shirts are like $128, so getting that on sight info made me reconsider a purchase.
Ohhhh literally just what i need for once! Fixing up and planting out a big ole greenhouse right now! Yay!

These arrived today. All good. Glad to have at least some outdoor shirts that won’t require donning separate sleeves.
The product is good enough that I tried to order more, but my size is sold out.
@datihein were they true to size? (Fit as expected for the size u bought?)
@TimW I ordered Medium and that’s what shipped. They are slightly loose fitting, but not sloppy loose, which is fine as it allows for an inner layer in cool weather. (Yeah, cool weather. It might happen.)
My order was cancelled with no explanation. Curious as to why. Has this happened to other people who ordered these?
@monaxtc it has happened in the past to me on other orders…sometimes they just sell more than they thought they had or sell too many of a certain size than they actually have.
Got my order of XL in. I generally go for a XXL so it’s slightly looser fitting. I’m 6’3” and not thin, let’s say generously stocky….
The XL was slightly loose and comfortable. I would expect the XXL to be blowing in the window. Almost length was good too.

@outdoorslife
FWIW these are still available on side deal at 3 for 25 bucks.
