Wow. "Shirts for white men" never occurred to me. To me it was "white shirts" for men. Color of the men never came to mind.
Courteous young men in "white shirts" on bicycles is what came to mind.
And I thought the "good illustration" was of the marketing to the particular demographics of likely shoppers in a given place.
