Sartorial satori

Three reasons to visit the Charles Tyrwhitt website right now:

1. If you use the url http://www.ctshirts.co.uk/nyt6 and order by October 31, you'll get 50% your first order.
   
2. At 50% off, their really nice shirts are reasonably priced really nice shirts. Admittedly, this place isn't Sears, but we are talking about really nice shirts.
   
3. Every shirt has the option of French cuff (ie need cufflinks) or single cuff (ie have buttons), pocket or no pocket, and monogramming.
   
4. "If the item you buy doesn't fit, doesn't recover from a spilt curry or doesn't transform you into an instant Adonis (or if it does and gets ripped off your back), then send it back free of charge within three months for an exchange or immediate refund. No questions asked. We shall not cry. We shall just try even harder to please (and I shall keep practising my backward bends)."
5. They have you covered, regardless of your pay grade. On the personal information form, the options under "Salutation" are:
   

   Mr, Mrs, Miss, Ms, Dr, Admiral, Admiral Sir, Air Commodore, Baron, Baroness, Bishop, Brigadier, Canon, Captain, Colonel, Colonel Sir, Commander, Commodore, Councillor, Count, Countess, Dame, Deputy, Duke Of, Earl, Fam, Father, Field Marshal Lord, Field Marshal Sir, Flight Lieutenant, Frau, Frau Dr, Frau Graefin, Freifrau, Freiherr, Fuerst, Fuerstin, General, General Sir, Graf, Group Captain, H R H, Herr, Herr Baron, Herr Dr, Herr Prof, His Excellency, Judge, Lady, Lieutenant, Lord, LT Colonel, LT Commander, LT General, LT General Sir, M, Major, Major General, Major General Sir, Marchioness, Master, Mlle, Mme, Mr & Mrs, Officer Cadet, Prinz, Prinzessin, Professor, Rear Admiral, Rear Admiral Sir, Reverend, RT Hon, RT Hon Sir, RT Reverend, Sergeant, Sir, Squadron Leader, The Bishop Of, The Countess Of, The Duchess Of, The Earl Of, The Hon, The Hon Mrs, The Marchioness Of, The Marquess Of, Vice-Admiral, Vice-Admiral Sir, Viscount, Viscountess, Wing Commander

I felt like a chump for sticking with "Mr", but I'd rather not end up on yet another "Field Marshal Lords only" mailing list -- once the list gets out, the spammers targetting that group are relentless!

Once again, though, I am left questioning my career path; if I'd made different decisions, at this very moment I could be working towards becoming "LT General Sir David Bushnell" instead of just looking to buy a used Saab from a guy in Brooklyn.
