Banana Republic shirts usually last me a long time, unlike Old Navy shirts. Of course they are usually much more expensive than Old Navy. However, right now, you can get great savings on some high quality Jersey cotton short sleeve t-shirts with colors that aren’t selling well. That doesn’t mean the colors are ugly. They just haven’t been great sellers. So this is your chance to stock up before the warm weather hits.

Normally $19.50 each. Now on sale $7.99 – $9.99 each.

I’ve always had trouble taking good care of my clothes. At the end of the day my dress shirt, tie and slacks end up on the chair near my closet after I spilled coffee, ink or myriad other things on them. My clean clothes sit in the clothes basket, days after I’ve taken them out of the dryer. And forget about wiping the rain and snow from my leather jacket.

That’s why I like the jacket to the right. A waxed cotton jacket by Barbour. The more you punish the jacket, the more character it gets. And if you beat it up a little too much, the company has a restoration service that used old jacket parts to repair it.

Notice old jacket parts, so you can retain all of the character you’ve beat into it. And when you get mud, food, beer, blood etc. on it, simply wipe it off with a sponge.
