our doctor. And if he talked to his doctor, whichever way he went, then he did exactly what he says you should do: talk to your doctor. And that's everybody's advice. That's mainstream medical advice: talk to your doctor, right? So somehow Tim Pool has been framed because it makes a better narrative: anti-vaxxer gets a bad case and wishes he was vaccinated. You know, they add that as if he's thin…

Are you telling me that this one shirt company, the only one, the only one figured out how to make a shirt that doesn't wrinkle and feels good and looks good? Only one? Are you freaking kidding? What is going on?
So everybody asks me who makes that shirt. So I'll tell you. It's a Tasso Elba Supima cotton polyester blend. So it's cotton and polyester. It's some kind of special cotton called Supima. And the brand is Tasso Elba, T-A-S-S-O E-L-B-A. Now caution, caution. I don't know that they have any other shirts that are that good. So hear me carefully. The other problem is even when a company can make a great shirt, they will stop making the great shirt and make bad ones.
So as I was tweeting on this, you might not be surprised that the company Untuckit immediately contacted me. Have you all seen the commercials for Untuckit? They're dress shirts, but they're designed so they don't hang down too long, and you can just wear them untucked. Now I own quite a number of Untuckit products.

It wasn't as soft as this Tasso Elba thing is, but it was a solid shirt.
And so I did what anybody would do if they get such a good experience. I bought a bunch more. Here's the thing. The other shirts that I bought were made of different material in a different way. They had this one perfect shirt, and I would have bought 100 of them over my lifetime if they could just make that one shirt. Just make it a different color maybe. Yeah, add a little tweak or a feature, but just keep making that shirt.
But the way companies work is they have to have lots of product because it gives them bigger exposure, makes them seem more serious, et cetera. So you have to add to yourself space to take away other people's shelf space in part. And I tried all the other shirts, and ma

ybe one of them was pretty good, and the others were just different material, different shirts. They all have the same fit, so that part's good. But I don't understand why people can't make a shirt every single time. Do you know how often a shirt-making company should be able to make a great shirt? Every time. Did nobody put that shirt on before they took it to mass production? Just put it on, see…
