A few minutes later, he came up beside me from behind and very aggressively asked, "What did you say?"
So I barked at him, "Put a shirt on; you look terrible; you're visual pollution. It's offensive to other people."
He said, "I don't care about other people."
I responded "That's obvious; now go away. You're bothering me."
He did go away, and I never saw him again; or if I did, he must have been wearing a shirt and I did not recognize him.
Part of how we dress may be to make ourselves feel good and part may be to impress others, but we should at least consider whether we are just making the world uglier.

Sizing up too much creates bunch of other issues.

The jersey I returned was the Castelli perfecto ros LS. I think this is more jacket than jersey. I can’t think of anything you would layer over top aside from a Gortex shell.
Quite a few of the Castelli jackets have a very tight armpit area.
