Saw this in the Untuckit catalog.

Evidently the overshirt is a thing.

I think I likI it. Not sure if DH would be on board.

Did you say Farrah cut? DH took this of me last month and was calling me Farrah all day. It didn’t help that I was wearing my KISS t-shirt. 😁

I like the top shirt, but layering them reminds me of someone I'd rather not think about.

I don't care for the double collar. Maybe the top shirt over a tee.

Jennmonkey, the $30 comment was in the context of the story - that she was always asking for more. I didn't say anything like the rest of what you mention. I don't know where you got it from or why you used it to defend Lori. Lori didn't even say anything like that. I said it to the woman because I paid her $25 for the run, but she was asking for more. There is nothing in this story about the size of jobs. Nor is what Lori indicated that I am wasting money and time when I can do them myself. It came from nowhere except her own intention. NyceFarm, you and Uxorial asked the same thing, which is a good question. Because I never saw her at work or saw a paystub, all I can say is I have called her in the wee hours of the morning only because I knew she was at work. At her house, her husband answers the phone if I call after 11pm to let me know he hates calls at that hour LOL. I wouldn't dare call their house at 1 or 2 in the morning. A couple times she came around 3 or 4am to pick up that morning's deliveries. That's the time she got off work on those nights and came here so as not to have to make the trip again. I'm only 3 or 4 miles off her route, whereas she lives quite a ways away. It was better for her to come at that hour than to come back this way at 8am. Also, she directed me to a website for certification last year. She needed me to download some forms because she didn't have a computer. I realize none of that is proof though. So, I guess the answer is I really don't know, but I can't see all the charades either. LindaKathy, nope she didn't pay cash. She paid by debit card. I expected she would stop at the place and pay, but she preferred not having to stop. I wouldn't ask anyone to use their credit card, but that she did was fine with me. She called with the confimation number and brought the balance of the money the next day, less the $150. This was three weeks ago. Is that you were asking? Kathleen, that makes a lot of sense. As far as being tired, she fell alseep on my sofa or laid down in the boys' room several times after getting off work. One morning, she got off at 7 and was supposed to come here to pickup an order. It was to be delivered at that funeral home two miles from her house. She didn't show up and called around 8 to tell me she fell asleep in the nursing home's parking lot. I could understand that happening, knowing how often I work through the night. However, I don't want to give the impression that she was working so much for me. As I mentioned, business was way down the last year, so I didn't have to call her all that steadily.

klseiverd, you must not live far from me. I remember the incident, each claiming that it wasn't their tiger. Then the township closed down the tiger lady. In my township, we had reports of a mountain lion loose several years ago.. We even had police, helicopters and the major tv stations right outside my house looking for said mountain lion. I live east of route 9; last reports had the mountain lion west of route 9….we still can't figure out how he crossed that road.

I know they tested detergents In 75F water because they said that was the temp people would likely find in today's washers. Still, testing 8 pounds of clothes seems to be off the mark considering most machines hold more than that. If a machine can clean 8 pounds in a cycle that may not mean it can clean 13 or 15 pounds in the same cycle. Better information can be found in this forum than In CR.

Nope, reminds that one of my sons wore this fashion staple through middle school and high school (maybe college? I don’t know): an unbuttoned, untucked shirt over a tee shirt. Now it’s a much nicer, plain, tee, and the shirt is buttoned and tucked, and sometimes replaced with a nice sweater.

I agree with Tina and a few others that I think it's a nice look over something without a collar like a tee. I know a few men in my social circle that would wear a thick flannel overshirt in lieu of a jacket. Most would probably look at Carhartt or Duluth. Interestingly both Carhartt and Duluth have a category called "Shirt Jacs". I hadn't heard the term before.

In grade school, friends and I jumped on the trend of wearing one Ralph Lauren Polo on top of another. It was too much collar juggling for me.

Wearing the untucked collar shirt over a plain t-shirt is popular around me, especially during fall. My kids wear it casually. I have a heavy flannel shirt I wear to rake leaves in the fall. Makes me feel very pumpkin spicey.

Once the weather permits, I usually wear an untucked, button-front, collared shirt (pref. flannel) over a t-shirt or turtleneck. It's an ages-old look.

If women can wear crop tops, then men can wear midriff shirts, and I used to do this, but they were tank tops of T-shirts. My favorite midriff shirt was a tank top that came just to my waist and was from a bar on the French Riviera called "La Sabretache", and it had a silhouette of a galloping horse on it above the name. A friend from Munich (whom I met in Mexico) traded this shirt to me for a vest that I had made of old Levi's, using the hip pocket portions for the front part of the vest, so that it would have pockets.

I had another shirt from France that came barely to my waist, and it had a stylized red, white, and blue rooster on it. I wore these shirts when I was in my 20s, but I had others that I wore in my 30s as well. I had a very small waist at that time.

I've also worn shirts as jackets, but never with a shirt that had a collar. I do remember seeing men wearing long sleeved shirts over Polo shirts, and I thought that look was acceptable, but I never wore Polo shirts.

I have no problem with the double collar, and I very much support having more variety in men's fashion. I see much worse outfits being worn by women, especially ones that include leggings, which look acceptable on very few women. I also dislike skinny jeans, either on men or women.

I do not like seeing white T-shirts under regular button shirts of any kind, but I am okay with colored T-shirts.

I do not think that shirt jackets are anything new, and they were quite common in San Francisco when I lived there, as it was cold almost all of the time, which is one of the main reasons I moved away.

DH and I each have one that my dad bought us from his Mac Tools rep/friend.

We wear t-shirts under ours (or I wear a tank top).

When I’m feeling Biker Chick, I wear it out with jeans, chunky jewelry, and boots. If I’m feeling Hardware Store and Errands Saturday, a cute tee and leggings. If it’s Yardwork Sunday, ditto leggings.

I have another one that is pink plaid (no skulls or logos, I think it’s Wrangler brand).

Look, I’ll wear these and like it, but I draw the line at a buttoned shirt under it. 😁

Prickly, we have lots of Carhartt and Duluth items. Anything Carhartt lasts forever!

Feathers, lol! I forgot about that Polo shirt fad. Ahh, the ’80s. :D Did you pop the collars?

Reminds me of growing up in the 70's preppy capital of the US and all the "cool" guys wore collared polo shirts under their button downs. But the "overshirt" was buttoned.

I have not seen tthis around here ( or not in my line of vision). I don't care for it at all.

I have definitely seen t shirt or turtleneck under a button shirt but not 2 button shirts.

I also think the crop tops ( on any gender) is not for the masses. Maybe on a very select few it can look really sharp but on most people, more is better (more fabric). To each his own.

I guess this is what makes the world go round.

Apparently I live under a rock. I have never seen a collared shirt, worn over another collared shirt. Me no likey.

A collared shirt over a tshirt or tank top, sure. I've done that myself many times. My poor old brain just can't reconcile how to handle the collar which is on the undershirt. Does it stay tucked under the over shirt? Or are you supposed to layer the under one over the over one...?

I'd end up with a wadded mess, no matter what....

It's the buttoned shirt under it that's bad (and not a little Bannony)

Remember "grunge"? Some of us were grunge before grunge and still are. :)

I'm not sure about now but Lands end used to have some nice overshirts for men. Although we don't get much use of them in Florida my husband takes them on UK trips. His has elbow patches. Not sure if that's in or not but he looks handsome.

I like that NorthStyle catalog look since I hate wearing coats/jackets and I like vests. Plus it doesn’t get that cold here.

I have a white Untuckit button down that I love, but I am a little too heavy to wear it right now. 😩 It looks great with my black suit, and I even had my pro head shots taken with that look.

@nicole___ , I had to zoom that image. I thought he was wearing a wrap sweater, but no...just a strap. Perfectly normal(ish).
