itt "FUN SHIRTS"

not in the pacific

actually there are no seasons here, just drier and warmer vs cooler and wetter

help!

i can't decide between

dusty blue popover: http://www.reynspooner.com/shop/classic-collection/classic-shirts/new-pihi-maze-5143.html

blue button down: http://www.reynspooner.com/shop/modern-collection/modern-shirts/new-mamalu-3141.html

i'm partial to the first one, both for price and also for authenticity?

ha the third one is one I already posted upthread. keep in mind the "modern collection" runs a lot smaller than the "classic collection"

1st one is def a little more ~authentic~ but this hands down the most authentic reyn spooner shirt:

i feel like you have to go to hawaii for at least a vacation to wear the lahaina

i bought this shirt a lil while ago inspired by this thread, its kinda fun, its abt as fun as im willing to get

I wld wear that fun shirt

c'mon thats a perfectly acceptable shirt but its nowhere near fun

its a little bit fun, note the rounded collar, also it has colors on it, and a pattern

its slightly more colorful than that irl

smdh

first season of stussy deluxe (which i think is now defunct) from like 7-8 years ago

http://charlesandmarie.com/blog/tragically_hip/files/RTEmagicC_stussy_deluxe.jpg.jpg

i like them both but i think the idea of one basic pattern but with panels cut w/ different bias (am i saying that right?) is a dope idea (shirt at right)

i ALMOST bought the shirt at left when it came out but i chickened out

re: hawaiian patterns, i mean it's def nice to see large scale prints and esp floral patterns get the cosign from mainstream men's style but -- ugh, i feel like you can go all in crazy or just stay out, but half-assing is pretty ugly recipe for dad style

i mean is it just me or does this subdued hawaiian just look geriatric? in a bad way? the whole look, really

p sure i have seen that exact shirt in rayon at savers with a 'puritan' label

tlg: i like the bias cut panels on that (the bias is the 45 degree diagonal between the perpendicular warp / weft of the weave)

super otm.

(re: half-assing aloha prints)

ok so i'm using the word sort of correctly. does bias cut mean specifically 45 degrees or can it be any angle other than 90 / 0 degrees w/r/t warp and weft.

yes this looks awful. like a guayabera ad targeting 20 year olds

i lost my navy hat at a bar last night :-(

oh well, my vintage dude has two authentic ones from particular ships, guess i'd better grab those while i can

tlg: srs question: isn't sporting a navy hat in such a huge navy town when you're not a navy guy kind of nagl?

no, because

1) my roommate was a gunnery sergeant

2) when i worked at scripps oceanography i was on a naval DARPA contract

3) tons of non-military dudes wear this shit as a "support our troops" kind of thing

4) actually there are a ton of navy guys who look even more weedy and nerdy than me so probably nobody can tell

5) i don't think i wear it "ironically" or have that look about me

i don't know, maybe i do look like a gigantic douchebag, but i wear a ton of military type shit (m-65s, fatigue pants, shirts with epaulettes, even some camo) and i have a fair # of military buddies and i am kind of a military tech nerd along tombot lines so it's basically in keeping with my personality

the other part of the srs answer is that being middle eastern has caught me 10x as much flak with military dudes as anything i've ever worn so i pretty much don't think about it

fun hats

word, thanks 4 answers

i think of it like wearing a USC sweater, you don't have to have attended USC in southern california or even have a family member to support the trojans (fuck the trojans imo btw)

should read:

in southern california you don't have to have attended USC ...

Trojans don't preserve our freedom tho

not unless you live in anatolia

i have thought about it though and i think if confronted on it i would go for #1, 2, 3 and then probably just take off the damn hat if that didn't make whoever happy

Nick Wooster is so dreamy

Like he is basically the epitome of what I want to be when I hit 40 or 50

why wait?

that parrot hat tho

sick, right?

too bad it's supleme and therefore sells for $70-$90 on ebay

ouch

oh and i'm p sure bias is specifically 45 degrees -- you see bias cuts mostly in womenswear because they drape & move more fluidly that cuts on the grain

than*

ah, i know the bias cut dress idea but i didn't realize it was specifically 45
