Custom color isn't necessary when you have an original like that.
Why is the tiny Marshall stack wearing headphones? Is it too loud for itself?

Classic white and Polka Dots.
I bought a shirt several weeks ago that actually fit me.Small rant here...…..
For the most part, yes. There are some men's clothes (and men) that really do look sharp. I see lots of people through the course of a normal workday, its completely commonplace to see nicely dressed women (nice clothes, and nice ensemble) on the train, walking to work and coming in to my store. Men doing the same thing are a rarity at best, I don't mind saying that I enjoy seeing a well dressed man, it just doesn't happen often. Further, it seems as though men are not allowed to wear anything even remotely form fitting, as if we should for some reason be ashamed to show any hint of a figure, and were you to do so, you'd be thought of in less than masculine terms. I detest most men's pants, they're baggy and often fit poorly and are unbecoming for the most part, since starting my job in downtown Seattle I've never worn men's pants to work, ever. I wear women's pants, usually from Eddie Bauer, they fit nice , look sharp and feel really good on my skin. I have some nice kind of stretchy black ones from Macy's that I really like too, so much more comfy than any men's pants!
It's new dress day, that's for later...…..end of small rant.
TLDR, I don't like men's clothes!
I most often wear second-hand clothes. For one thing I do work that is often dirty and lots of physical labor. I tear my pants on nails sticking out of wood, wear the knees out against rough materials like asphalt shingles, etc.
I also find pretty cool stuff, and older styles I like at second hand stores. A lot of earlier generation clothing was made better also, that's why it's now hanging on a rack, in fine condition, at the Salvation Army store.
As soon as we get the younger kid into college this fall, maybe I'll go get some clothes that fit well and look a notch above "warehouse dweller"...
I totally agree that men's clothes are mostly a really sad reflection of how we are supposed to see, and feel about, ourselves. I think we're subject to a mistaken idea that many of us have adopted.

I think that body shape looks killer on a bass. No clue how comfy or not it would be to play, but I’d take that body shape I’ve the SG style (though I love that shape too!). I can’t help but think they blew it with that pickguard design. It just doesn’t work for me. They shoulda called @JIO and he’d nail it
I could do an OK job...but it wouldn't say 'Les Paul' on it. I've owned this 1960 since '64. Cost me $40. Added the '68 Tele Bass pup and refinned it in '74, refreshed it a few years ago.
