ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

there's something beautiful abt trusting your tailored clothing to a jorts-wearer

Ah, I think that might be good for me. The J train is convenient to home too. Can you pm or facebook message me the number maybe?

i get my hemming and patching done by a turkish guy on mare street who runs a dry cleaning business; i have never found better prices and it's so satisfying to dump off a big stack of "problem" garments and get them all back ready for action

facebooked you

got it, thanks!

aw i wanna tailor now

this arthur guy seems pretty cool. no jorts today, but we bro'd down & I turned him onto a killer anne clark 12" while he helped me finally ID an edm/industrial track I've liked for awhile

So, not strictly relevant to the topic, but I have to ask: "Our Darkness," "Sleeper in Metropolis," or what?

Our Darkness is an all-time classic.

Oh good glad you guys got along

sleeper in metropolis
I emphasized how good it sounds on a loud system when the drums kick in... he was interested in djing with it.
yeah I liked him a lot! can't believe how nice his apartment it

*is

i know, jesus, what a place. i wonder how long hes been there

only a year! and I know what his rent is too and it's... not bad.

more than I could reasonably pay, but for that space pretty reasonable.

i mean if hes a small business owner surely hes writing off at least half of it

although i think to write off home-office spaces you need to have them separated off by a wall

you should just write it off anyway, likelihood of being audited is quite low and theyre probably not gonna do it over a couple thousand dollars in taxes saved via business deductions

and if you do it might make for a nice story to write abt, also just buy a few ikea bookshelves or something and put em in before the taxman shows up

to be clear were talking about the tailor arthur, not me

haha you seem to know a lot about writing off business expenses for someone who's not doing it

ive... looked into it

don't your recent video appearances qualify you for "journalistic costuming"

just wanted to let you guys know with columbus day savings this number is down to about $400 bucks

someone should do a tv show called WHO BUYS THIS SHIT where they put tracking devices on stuff like that, i would be more interested in gaining an insight into that person's life than anyone else's in the world

maybe it's like a japester who finds a block table somewhere and trolls girls... stay seated, reel them in with your dapper top half and them bam sorry will you excuse me i have an important business meeting i'll call you [strolls away]

then again you could just save 400 bucks and do it porky pig style

casual brown leather shoe suggestions go

unimaginative, but if you don't have a pair of brown leather desert boots they are a good staple

ha i do and i never wear them, this shape of shoe is just i dont think right for my foot/vibe

also what do you guys think is 'the best polo'

polos just don't look good on my body tho i still have a bunch. i think my faves are actually a couple i have from american apparel.

re: shoes that is like an entire multiverse of shoes, need more of an idea of what you like.

this is my current brown leather casual shoe: http://www.thefryecompany.com/mens-shoes/crepe-soles/84200/hudson-oxford?color=DBN

im not gonna give you more of an idea what i like, sorry

well may is p. borderline for "summer" but regardless i think the correct answer is "a suit in a seasonally appropriate weight and material that matches the overall formality of the event."

in other words, do you know what your sister is expecting? what's the groom wearing? as someone who's going to be in the wedding pictures the ppl getting married sort of owe you at least high-level guidance.

i like j. crew pique polos.

hoos: charcoal suit + white shirt + a tie

yup. for a spring wedding, if it's ok with your sis, you might be able to do a lighter grey also.

cad otm. Maybe even prince of wales check or similar?

cosign on the jcrew pique polos.

ordered this tonight. i think it seems like a solid fall coat but i wish they weren't sold out of the light khaki.

hoos, whatever you do stay away from seersucker and linen. resist the temptation to gatsby it up.

i like that green a lot.

i have high hopes for it. the problem with online shopping is sizing. hopefully if it's too small i will have time to exchange it before it sells out... it's from "jackthreads.com" and their stuff sells out fast.
