My new favorite thing that I really tuned into during my Disneyland annual pass is guys that wear DRI-fit/Cool Max type of shirts over their cotton crew neck garms.

The gun threat towards dates of your daughter is still a thing, huh? I hadn't seen one for quite a while.

They just need to offer a v neck. You can see the swoop neck under my light colored shirts.

Amen. Apparently if you are in the coast guard you can get v-neck garms by buying some v-necks t-shirts and sending them in to be marked.

I need to find a friend in the coast guard.

Done.

As I've documented numerous times here, there is a time and a place for crew neck garments. But the situation you describe is neither the time nor the place. And if the crew neck is the primary option in your G line, you're not the good kind of nerd.

Nope, I only wear crew neck if I'm wearing a tie. Having an undershirt peek up from underneath your collar is unbecoming. Same thing if your undershirt peeks out of the sleeves of a t shirt. Don't be fooled by the great unwashed you see in Utah, this is a fashion faux pas.

Agreed. The fact that BFM thinks that the crew neck is the standard shows how far inside the bubble he has been for the last 20 years.

You're all a bunch of metro-sexual pansies with your scoop-necked eternal smile. I bet you wear "skinny jeans", manscape, and carry a man-purse.

Just send them to me.

everybody thinks you're a dork for having your crew neck show, but they're all too polite to tell you. we're just trying to help.

You don't manscape?

The dude in your avatar manscapes and would never where two crew necked t-shirts at the same time.

Does a laptop bag count as a man-purse?

For the record, transparent shirts that reveal the eternal smile are just as egregious as the crew neck over crew neck. If you wear Gs, you can't wear transparent shirts. No way around that. Also, most scoop neck garments are bulky and produce lines with a lot shirts. There is a reason why I almost exclusively wear the mesh scoop neck. They minimize visible lines.

This is essentially what I've been saying in this thread for the last few years (only I prefer the corban nylon scoop to the nylon mesh scoop).

The nice things about those two options is that 1) the scoop is low profile/less bulky, so it isn't as visible under semi-transparent dress shirts and it doesn't poke out under a tee shirt. Sure, there are some dress shirts that are just too sheer to wear any scoop, but there are a lot of shirts where the bulky scoop would be visible and the nylon scoop isn't; and 2) the sleeves tend to be quite a bit shorter and more fitted. Perfect for wearing under a tee or a polo (non white, of course; white tees and polis are just not a fashionable option for garment wearing men).

The one caveat to the corban and nylon mesh Gs is that, because the material is so thin, the markings on the chest protrude quite a bit more. Not ideal for wearing under certain fabrics.

While I generally agree with all that has been said here, the corban top is almost impossible to wear in any kind of heat. It sticks to your back like a trash bag.

Everyone seems to be all excited about the scoop neck Gs because they don't show in the front of the collar, but in mine they show more on the sides and back with t shirts than crew neck ones. The short sleeves that Donut is describing above also end up completely bunched in your armpit and then push the shoulder side of the collar more into view.

As mentioned above the fit and quality are awful with garments. There aren't good options until the PAC/JL/Ucht overhaul.

That sounds miserable. It hasn't been my experience with the corban tops.

Completely agree with this. I can't get the enthusiasm to argue about garments, as alluring as it seems, since all of the options are deeply flawed.

We're talking about the silkies, right? You don't perspire?
