If you’ve been following Two and a Half Men, you’ve surely noticed Charlie Sheen’s signature bowling shirts. ” ”
As a jingle-writing bachelor living in Malibu, Charlie (the character) is always in cool, casual attire. The show’s costume designer puts him in these comfy clothes to reflect his character – laidback and free-spirited. In fact, Charlie has become a virtual catalog for the Hollywood trend of retro fashion. Two-toned, short-sleeved bowling shirts and cabana wear over khaki shorts all scream cool comfort, and Charlie carries the look pretty well.

Truth be told, we don’t think anyone else can pull off the look as effortlessly as Charlie. He seems most comfortable in camp shirts, which are basically bowling shirts. His look is perfect for his character, who lives in a Southern California beach community.

Where To Get Them

So now the question is, where can you find these cool shirts? Well, you can order them at Charlie Harper Shirts. The line is a private label, and they are not available anywhere in retail stores.

If you want more options, you can try Nat Nast, which can be found in department stores like Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue. Charlie has actually worn some of his shirts from Nat Nast on the show, but there are other stores you can check out as well. Try Daddy-O, Swing Masters and Lounge Masters, all of which have contrasting collars and vertical front panels against a standard background. Most of the fabric is 100 percent silk, in retro patterns and color combinations that incorporate details of the classic ’50s bowling shirts.

So now that you’ve got the shirt, wear it well. The look works best when the untucked shirt is paired with slacks, although Charlie wears them with shorts (and looks good in them). Talk about style and comfort all rolled into one!

Ever wonder what makes Charlie Sheen who he is? We know quite a great deal about the guy already, thanks to the tons of great movies Sheen has brought us in movie theaters and on TV. We also owe a lot of our knowledge on Sheen to the inquisitive minds of investigative journalists, showbiz sleuths and, of course, the paparazzi.

It’s got to be the shirts

If you’re into Charlie Sheen stuff, it’s worth examining how he carries himself with those swanky shirts he dons. You’ve got to love how Sheen created a truly unique fashion statement that only his sense of style could make possible. Laid-back, two-toned shirts are all the rage when it comes to Sheen fashion. Man enough to be Charlie Sheen? Go grab a few of his shirts and see how it feels to be in his shirts.

Effortless humor

Have you seen the way he plays clueless as signalled by the way he squints his eye in his movies? And what about the way he picked that poor chicken as he ran out of arrows for his bow in the hit comedy flick Hot Shots 2? From endless wise-cracking monologues to facial contortions, no one makes you fall right out of your chair as effortlessly as Charlie Sheen can.

A true actor by nature

Charlie Sheen is not all comedy. He captured the hearts of millions when he pulled off a critically acclaimed role in the movie Platoon as a newly recruited American soldier sent to Vietnam. His character was faced with various conflicts from all sides, from within and without. Who could also forget the greed that emanated in Sheen’s character in the movie Wall Street?

True, there is more to the person than his fashion statements and the roles he has played in movies and on TV. But one doesn’t need to dig deep into Charlie Sheen’s life just to try and mimic the guy. Just imitating the things he is widely known for on and off screen, including his excellent sartorial habits, will suffice.

Ever since the arrival of Two and a Half Men, there has been an explosion throughout the Internet about the fashion picks of Charlie Harper, the protagonist of the show played by Charlie Sheen. The casual, laid-back dress sense of Harper as seen on the sitcom has caught fire, and is hitting it big with companies all clamoring for a piece of the action.

The show features Sheen dressed in a lot of simple, two-toned shirts that hark back to the ’50s and ’60s bowling-alley pop culture era. What began as an innocuous choice of shirts for a few episodes has since been something of a signature feature of the show. Sheen has continued to appear on the show with the same kind of relaxed yet dressy shirt selections. This has fueled speculation that it has been a part of why the show has continued to improve on TV ratings – it regularly broke into the top 10 on TV ratings for the 9 PM Monday timeslot, particularly for the sixth season that ended May 2009.

Today, the demand for those shirts has hit new highs. Firms from in and around the country have come out to parlay the show’s new popularity into a new effort to reach out to eager shoppers. These shirts are fit for almost any body type, be it skinny, lean, muscular or even beer-bellied. They also carry themselves well and with a very strong and confident manner, without being overtly loud, overbearing or obnoxious.

Of course, there are few that can compare to Charlie’s original line, The DaVinci Collection by Charlie Sheen. Designed with Sheen and his character’s personal style at its core, these shirts feature exactly that easy-going warmth that emanates from Charlie, both on and off the camera and the TV studio set. These swanky shirts can most likely make any guy look undeniably appealing in an instant.

He may have been expelled from the school for poor grades and bad attendance just before graduation, but Charlie Sheen sure knows the value of style and substance. Our man Charlie exudes a marketable look, plus his acting career had exploded quickly. And need we say that he always seems to end up with a beautiful woman?

Joining the celebrity clothing line bandwagon, Charlie recently launched his signature line of casual shirts called the ‘DaVinci Collection by Charlie Sheen‘. The Two And A Half Men star co-produced the line with the brand Rock & Roll Religion. His line is “reminiscent of the rockabilly culture born in 1950’S California.”

The New York Daily News reports that Charlie’s line focuses on short-sleeved, button-up shirts with agoya shell buttons, retro patterns and contrasting color combinations. Charlie says he loves the feel and look of the DaVinci pieces. The retro designs indeed exude a sense of cool, smooth, yet effortless style. Just like his comfortable camp shirts in his hit TV show, Charlie’s line screams “I’m stylish, laid-back and cool but don’t take myself too seriously.”

We say every guy should have at least one DaVinci in his closet.
And why not? We think the wearer would be proud to don a shirt designed by a Golden Globe Award-winning and Emmy-nominated Spanish-American actor. According to TV Guide, Sheen is TV’s highest paid actor, taking home an estimated $825,000 an episode for his CBS hit television show. Oh, did we mention that he’s generous too? He reportedly left a $100 tip for a beauty salon staffer because he was delighted with the $50 pedicure he received.

True to his laidback style, he reportedly got married in a cheap suit from a discount store while his 3rd bride wore Reem Acra. Nevertheless, his gorgeous new wife Brooke Mueller must be proud.

So are we.
