Problem: all my shirts seem to have shrunk in the cylindrical direction–even new ones of my favorite make. I have designed a possible solution (and hope to get a patent): The Cylindrical Sartorial Shrinkage Patch, a triangle of cloth with buttons on the left side and buttonholes on the right. Or possibly vice-versa.

It is possible I’ve gotten the placement upside-down, as I was drawing this in front of a mirror.

Women have had that for some time, but I don’t know if it’s used currently, used to cover up any possible cleavage. I have no idea what the name of it is, but it’s similar to a dickey, which is a false collar-insert. Or like a temporary gusset.

P.S.: One term I’ve found is “modesty panel”.

I imagine that would work on a ~~bulging belly~~ shrinking shirt.

It really is a remarkable resemblance.

I thought it might be a placket, and indeed that is one definition, although not the most common. Another word for it is stomacher, but the term is probably hopelessly archaic now.

Lucy_Gothro1 · August 21, 2019, 1:21am

Yes, I’m familiar with the term “placket”; “stomacher” makes me think of William Howard Taft, for some reason.

I haven’t listened yet, but LeVar Burton plus Shoggoths has got to be worth a few grins.

RAvery · August 21, 2019, 2:18am

Could you explain what this is?

Nonentity · August 21, 2019, 2:22am

One of those purely optional traffic signs they sometimes put at intersections for some inconceivable reason?

I assumed it was a play on the urban legend of the Chevy Nova failing in Spanish countries because “no va” translated to “doesn’t go”. I could be wrong, though.

kxkvi · August 21, 2019, 2:48am

That’s how I interpreted it. But . . . but . . . it’s not true?

Nonentity · August 21, 2019, 2:58am

The “purely optional”, or the “doesn’t go”?

(edit: I suppose I wasn’t clear… for the pedants out there, it’s the ones with the white borders that are optional. no, I’m just joking/being sarcastic, don’t do it!)
