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

ah, i know the bias cut dress idea but i didn't realize it was specifically 45
― the late great, Wednesday, 12 September 2012 21:23 (thirteen years ago)
well, i guess most trad neckties are bias cut too -- weaves stretch along the 45 diagonal, so it helps ties knot evenly, dimple well, and the stretch helps prevent the seams tearing

oh yeah, all of my ties are 45 degrees except the squared-off skinny chambray one i already regret buying

i have a bit of a fetish for square-end skinnies, esp old rooster ties with crazy prints! even though i am prob a bit too thick to rock a v skinny tie, i do anyway
selvedge line is the sort of detail i don't really care about, SUCH FINE MATERIALS, DO YOU SEEEE yeah uhm

i'm telling you man, it's the sort of thing that's going to make me embarrassed to own the tie in 10 years, might take it to my ladies at the drycleaners and see if they can get rid of it

hehe i say this as a dude with *only* jp selvedge jeans
― the late great, Wednesday, 12 September 2012 21:47 (thirteen years ago)
idk, i think the selvege is only really telling & worth showing if the fabric was milled by some real high quality manufacturer that has a signature selvedge, and in some cases it makes sense bc selvedge is more resilient than a cut edge, otherwise it's kind of a nonsense detail because every woven fabric has a selvedge
― real men have been preparing manly dishes for centuries (elmo argonaut), Wednesday, 12 September 2012 21:49 (thirteen years ago)
right!
i think the japanese jeans with red selvedge it's like indicating that it was woven on those old levi's looms we hear so much about?
but on a chambray tie from brooklyn it's silly

the second one (roses) is awesome
interesting evolution of interpretation of "fun shirts" itt from like, shirts w diff colour sleeves to now basically just shirts with fun prints. i wear the latter but haven't really seen much of the former, not sure i could pull it off but some of the shirts linked upthread are really nice
― flopson, Thursday, 20 September 2012 15:59 (thirteen years ago)
the white&purple cowboy shirt is gorgeous, i'd love it.
this shirt ticks all thread boxes but it doesn't seem quite right to me -

fabric panels would prob be better reversed imho, large print would work better on front panels
― real men have been preparing manly dishes for centuries (elmo argonaut), Friday, 21 September 2012 17:56 (thirteen years ago)
also blue oxford cloth doesn't go with everything, i don't hate it on principle but it's a pretty bad combo
― real men have been preparing manly dishes for centuries (elmo argonaut), Friday, 21 September 2012 17:58 (thirteen years ago)
yeah i think prints on the front & plain sleeves is normally better but the reverse seems more common.
