i actually saw an older chinese dude in my neighborhood wearing it a few weeks ago and wanted to salute him

altho the ones asap and tyga have seem to be more yellow than gold, the one drake is wearing is much better, or it looks better in the lighting
― J0rdan S., Monday, 5 March 2012 08:07 (twelve years ago) link
also i would rock one if they weren't going on ebay for *wipes glasses on shirt* $995

you're only like 2 older than me iirc? i googled it and it's some clothing brand i've never seen. i don't have any feel for who would wear it tho.
― marissa explains it all (The Reverend), Monday, 5 March 2012 10:57 (twelve years ago) link
in the early 00s it was the standard for HIP HOP HEADS
blackalicious endorsed iirc
― D-40, Monday, 5 March 2012 11:04 (twelve years ago) link

i hope you two at least realize that your being the only people saying that itt is not a great case for drake's masculinity

haha that jacket is the worst of all possible worlds
― lag∞n, Monday, 5 March 2012 14:13 (twelve years ago) link
the gloves (and his hand movements) are what really make the whole outfit legendary

I was all about being a HIP HOP HEAD in the early 2000s (and have the Blackalicious cds to prove it, haha) and never heard of it. Maybe they just never retailed here? At any rate, I meant "hip hop dudes" in a broader sense than that.

oh i won't defend someone wearing batting gloves irl
― J0rdan S., Monday, 5 March 2012 17:11 (twelve years ago) link
when drake wears ott gloves i imagine him saying to a stylist 'i don't think people are paying enough attention to my hand movements, i need something to draw attention to them'

did rappers used to wear batting gloves like 10 years ago or am i just specifically thinking of the st. lunatics' "batter up" video?
― J0rdan S., Monday, 5 March 2012 17:17 (twelve years ago) link
naw, that was a thing. i can't think of any other good examples off the top, but that was definitely a thing.

northface is just a huge brand worn by lots of people tho it was def particularly huge w/east coast 'heads' in the late 90s
― lag∞n, Monday, 5 March 2012 17:54 (twelve years ago) link
black bubble jackets were huge then, now like every 'professional male' has a nface fleece
― lag∞n, Monday, 5 March 2012 17:56 (twelve years ago) link
i don't think drake has mastered being male at a professional level yet though
― some dude, Monday, 5 March 2012 17:57 (twelve years ago) link
north face has been a thing for like, ever....goole i think you might have a weird impression because of MN being cold and all so lots more types of ppl wear north face here?
― the wild eyed boy from soundcloud (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 5 March 2012 18:00 (twelve years ago) link
everyone wears northface its a wildly popular brand!
― lag∞n, Monday, 5 March 2012 18:04 (twelve years ago) link
supreme on the other hand is def a niche thing
― lag∞n, Monday, 5 March 2012 18:06 (twelve years ago) link
and when the two meet you have synergy
i just bought some steven alan keds btw
― lag∞n, Monday, 5 March 2012 18:07 (twelve years ago) link
one thing i noticed when i went to finally moved to a place where people where winter clothes is that north face was VERY popular with white people
― J0rdan S., Monday, 5 March 2012 18:07 (twelve years ago) link
its the biggest winter tech brand!
― lag∞n, Monday, 5 March 2012 18:08 (twelve years ago) link
i just made up that classification but im sure theres some industry name for it
one thing thats kind annoying abt the internet is most of the content is fromt he last ten years so its harder to find pictures of 90s rappers wearing northface than you might expect
― lag∞n, Monday, 5 March 2012 18:12 (twelve years ago) link
columbia is still p popular here in the burbs
― the wild eyed boy from soundcloud (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 5 March 2012 18:15 (twelve years ago) link
i first noticed north face when i moved to mn age 18
― goole, Monday, 5 March 2012 18:19 (twelve years ago) link
'north face' should be in the catalog of drake insults along with 'canada dry'
― some dude, Monday, 5 March 2012 18:22 (twelve years ago) link
columbia has never had the cache with hiphop types that north face has ime
― marissa explains it all (The Reverend), Monday, 5 March 2012 18:25 (twelve years ago) link
no i meant with just like office dudes and shit
― the wild eyed boy from soundcloud (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 5 March 2012 18:27 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, i understood. i was reinforcing your idea.
― marissa explains it all (The Reverend), Monday, 5 March 2012 18:55 (twelve years ago) link
columbia is entry level, nface is stando, then theres all sorts hardcore brands for people who actually go out and climb mountains and such

i had a pair of swix lobster gloves for a while. that's about as tech as i get.

yeah i mean from a chicago perspective specifically (which prob extends thru much of the midwest as well) this was the look of the rich white kids at my h.s. in the late 90s & at lots of suburban schools as well, but only recently became a street thing -- i think there's an aspirational wealth thing to it, or maybe its coming out of that moment where hipster & urban fashion were basically completely linked
but at least in chi the street rap (as opposed to hip-hop heads or w/e) look of high school kids is timberlands, true religion jeans, and a variety of tops: north face fleeces, american apparel hoodies, aeropostale & abercrombie shirts
but this wasn't always the case

there's a variety there but these looks are just as common in the burbs as in the city. there's a lot less distance in fashion than there used to be i guess
