Hello there, super-expensive-tailored-perfectly-to-my-body-shirt. You arrived in the mail last week. (Remember when I went to get fitted?) A nice, thick box with a red bow on top. I opened the box–like they do in the movies, where you can gently raise the lid and don’t have to rip into miles of packing tape–and behold! a…
