I really debated about starting a log. This journey gets very personal at times. It's hard to announce to the world things you didn't even want to admit to yourself. But that's why I did it. It needed to be right in front of me so I could deal with it head on. And I needed support to get through it. Who would have thought I'd find that here of all places. :lol: But I did. These guys have been a great help and encouragement through some tough times for me and they probably don't even realize it. - Pagangoddess

Any good Polo brands worthy of recommendation?
And also, I am curious. Jow are the stronglifts polos/t-shirts? I wish to buy one to show my support for the SL society :)

Just so long as you don't pop the collar.

I'm doing the cheap thing and I'm wearing American Eagle polos. Since I'm thin, I find the vintage fit works really well with me. Pretty good quality. I haven't seen any shrinking and colors are still vibrant.

Land's End is good quality, Old Navy is cheap, but shrinks. If you were your polo untucked, go Old Navy, if you have to tuck (work environment) get the better Land's End.

I'm a fan of American Eagle polos. Good quality, comfortable, reasonably priced; what more do you need? :D

If you don't pop the collar, how can anybody tell that you're the man? :?:

thanks guys! I will make sure to look into american eagle, old navy and boss, and of course, the stronglifts polo :D

any experience with hollister?? I like how their torso tapers thinner as you get to the ab area, because I hate the bellbottom effect of poorly cut t shirts (don't mind it on other people, but it took me so much work to get my stomach circumference smaller than my chest circ. and I want to show it!)

hollister is decent quality, but the giant "hollister" logo etched in the front looks dumb
