Kent Wang is a haberdasher down in TX. He's one of the few places I know that has double-sided cufflinks; I got a bunch of them. Highly recommend him, you can check out his website at kentwang.com .
I'm also interested in the shirt, can you post measurements?

Went thrifting today. Nothing interesting really, but came across some particular things, like a Santa costume in the outerwear section (not pictured), a way too large $15 pink and light blue Burberry tie and a custom tailored suit made in 1967 for a man that was probably shorter than me. At 5'6", it was the first time I find something too short for me.
I don't feel like I could find something decent around here. Nobody is wearing Zegna, RL or Brook Brothers in this city.

Also saw a not-so-good quality size 39 black cap toe rubber-solded shoe yesterday. They were a bit small (wow, first time I ever say that about a pair of shoes), but I was wearing thicker socks. Didn't check the price, telling me it wasn't worth it.
Finally, I decided to return to the trift store today. They were 8 bucks after taxes. I decided to take them.
I know it's exactly what I should not do while thrifting (buying junk just because it fits and it's cheap), but at least it give me something to wear with a suit until I can afford a real pair of shoes. So here they are.

I finally found where all of the ties have been hiding! Snagged 1 Burberry London, 2 Hugo Boss, 1 Dior (made in Italy so I think it's legit?). Crazy that these guys are just hanging out with a bunch of 4 inch wide polyester Santa and music note ties.
Found a lot of Thomas Pink, Hugo Boss, and Canali shirts today. Just too big for me.

Hmm. There were two Thomas Pink spread collars. One was 16/34 with a green striped pattern; the other 16.5/35 with a blue striped pattern (I think). Plain blue Thomas Pink L sport shirt. Hugo Boss blue pindot shirt that might have been 16/34. Fabric felt amazing but it was super square fitting even for someone of that size. Then a M Canali sport shirt that I thought about buying. I would have had to break my "must fit at purchase" rule because the sides needed to be taken in, but it was actually a little worn with chipped buttons and the like so I decided against it.

Word. I think that Thomas Pink 16/34 had light green stripes. I don't remember it being super boxy, but it wasn't slim or anything either. I don't know how much that matters for you.
Let me know if you want me to grab it. I'm taking a homework break right now, but I'm gonna hit up another store in a little bit and that first store is actually on my way back home so it wouldn't be a problem. Also, if I get it and you decide you don't want it I can return it or I guess maybe flip it.
