Cool Work Shirts?
RyuMaou asks: "I just started a job today and noticed I was the only guy wearing a golf shirt. Everyone else had long-sleeve button-downs on. So, I got home and went right to ThinkGeek to buy some Tux button-down collar shirts. But, horror of horrors, they were gone! Where can I get them, or others like them? I'd settle for the Geek.com propeller-head logo, but I'd really like Linux logo gear of all kinds. Anyone?"
You're worried about a lack of formality...so you're wearing ThinkGeek clothing?
Did I miss something?
May we never see th
A linux shirt? Hmmm. Did you try the local Versace? I heard they're on sale at Barneys, but you better act quick. Just off the runways in New York, Vogue, GQ, etc. are all saying this *is* the hottest new look for the fall. They all thought the return of Twiggy (the world's first supermodel) would be the talk of the Milan fashion show, but instead it was Alan Cox who turned heads when he was led out onto the stage by the lead designer in the house of ThinkGeek. Standing ovations, curtain calls, the whole nine yards. Good luck finding the shirt! Andy
We have reached a time in the world where nerds are now asking for
fashion advice. I am not sure if this person is so out of touch with
reality that he is unaware that he is asking for the blind to lead the
blind or if some major paradigm shift has happened in the world that
I must have missed while hacking away at my terminal that is lit 24
hours a day by just a red light and has days worth of dishes
piled up on the the top of the shelves that house all of my O'Reilly
books.
Can someone try to clear this up for me?

And your asking for fashion tips from /. Dude, I have two coding shirts that I rotate. The first one is neon orange and says, "It's my duty, to please that booty." The other one was from a Math Contest I won in high school with a Maple plot of:
tubeplot([3*cos(2*t) + cos(3*t), -3*sin(2*t) + sin(3*t), 1.2*sin(5*t)], t=0..2*Pi, radius=0.6);
If your gonna ask a fashion question on /. ask what fabrics are coke-resistant. Ask what the best way is to print off Natalie Portman pics to paste onto t-shirts. Ask how to install the Linux kernel on your zipper. Ask how to build a Beowulf cluster of leisure suits.
1. The surf kiddie's solution: Go to your Kinko's (or whatever's the right store for the stuff - it's been a few years since I've been on the left side of the Atlantic), buy some iron-on paper for your printer, download (or draw) the graphic(s) of your choice, print, iron on plain shirt and wear.
2. The Real Hacker(TM)'s solution: pick up that old sewing machine your mom threw out, modify to do some computer-aided embroidery, hack a Linux driver for it, download/draw, embroider on plain shirt, wear.
Both would seem to me to make much more of an individualistic statement than those ThinkGeek-wannabe stuff.
Now let's please keep Ask/. open for the really important stuff, like moving or dieting...
Free, as in your money being freed from the confines of your account.
It's never too early to start working on your manager to get bowling shirts for everyone in your group. Tell him it would be a morale booster, that it would be good for team building. Tell him that's what the boss did at your last job (leave out the part about your last job being at a bowling alley).
.. to the other.
First you go in casual, next you're going in wearing a Tux?
