My friend was getting married in a few hours, I had my tux, shoes, braces, all was ready to rock. Wait no, I was screwed - no undershirt. Never has such a small detail been so crucial. Have you ever worn a tuxedo with no undershirt? Didn't think so. The success of my friend's nuptials was on the line. So I did what any intelligent American would do, I hit the mean streets of London in search of a proper men's shop.
Enter Mr. Start, set on a brick lane in the super hip neighborhood of Shorditch, this place stands out. They had all of the proper kit, undershirts included. The sales person was gracious and knew the proper black tie terminology (important). I found a premo shirt. The cotton was incredibly soft and it was an insane amount of money (60 quid) which means it had class.
My only complaint is that due to their slim fit sizing I had to get an XXL. It just made me feel fat which hurt my confidence, not a good thing going into a wedding. Confidence is important in all settings but especially at weddings.
My friends nuptials are going quite well. read more
