One Eight Nine, or commonly known as OEN or 189.com was so impressed with the AW Anatomy of a Shirt blog (3.1.10), that they featured it in the Fashion section of their blog.   189.com is well rounded editorial blog covering fashion, design, media and all things creative.

Kempt.com, a blog on men's style, fashion and grooming called us one of their "favorites" and encouraged their loyal readers to check out our Anatomy of A Shirt posting on the AW blog posted on 3.1.10. We are flattered and will continue to  share our shirt knowledge with the people.  Thanks for helping us spread the word! Stay tuned for more AW shirt education coming your way.
