ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

uniqlo lambswool sweaters are $20 and pill like crazy on my belly after 3 wears. i guess i rub my belly a lot. should i:

1) buy one of those absurd sweater shavers
2) just buy loads of uniqlo lambswool sweaters
3) buy a new fancy shetland sweater that allegedly doesn't pill via longer threads
4) thrift store urrrrgh

if you have an electric razor and are careful you can just trim the sweater w/ that ime

the electric shaver things but for heads work well

5) learn to love the pill

yah by 'electric razor' i too meant the thing for heads which isn't really a 'razor' idk i was confused

otm then

clippers

i just gave my sweater a #1

it looks exactly like my head now!

good tip, thanks

i know american culture can be confusing to new immigrants but 'clippers' is a basketball team or a type of old ship

that joke wouldnt have been any funnier 52 seconds ago but still

i put an old boat on my sweater thx everyone big help

do i buy this or is the tweed too much?

think it's definitely too much in brown

that's a pretty low-key tweed, i like the navy too. personally i don't think i would get much use out of a jacket that weight but go for it if you will.

i want his fascist haircut too

lol didn't see that, yeah pls. don't look like that guy if you buy the jacket.

i like the brown

i like this too http://www.jpressonline.com/tweed-shirt-jacket-green-mix/ although $$

i think the brown is better than the blue

I mean if you're going to buy a tweed jacket, get the one that looks tweedy. the blue one seems more bland to me.

i would agree for a sportcoat, but this is outerwear and i feel like the navy is a little more versatile.

i can't wear a light brown tweed jacket because my entire head is pink/orange/light brown and i'd look silly

Band of Outsiders navy blazer made of a breathable nylon that supposedly you can crunch into a ball and it will not wrinkle

why would you crunch your blazer into a ball?

It's for those times you need to go to a business meeting in your suit straight off the plane, then change into the blazer for your harvard club event.

oh right, those times

i am going to the j press store, wish me luck

aw man, j press making virtual bootlegs in comedy fabric choices? say it ain't so.

maybe you can get BLØG as your monogram

Man, I find those bags super prissy-looking. They remind me of when I would take the train home from college and switch at Trenton, and you'd be able to spot the Princeton kids because of their immaculate department-store-catalog-looking clothes.

dont beat me up

haha

calling that specific look "normcore" is extremely revealing

bahaha this guy

seems i'm guilty of this.. for my birthday i asked my mom to get me "a couple of shirts that look like what you'd buy for dad" from eddie bauer

I think this is what I was shooting for in the past when I was trying to nail down seinfeld-as-inspiration

dev hynes is definitely too 'core' for 'norm' though!

also reminds me of Dunham's "kewl dad" in that Girls episode. Maybe she was onto something.

Of course like every ironical adoption of "regular amurican" style it has to be done with subtle touches to make sure you don't actually mistake the person for a regular amurican

there's def a big casual/new balance sneakers/track pants thing going on w/art people, but I don't think it's the same as a.) what someone like dev is doing or b.) what some of the late 80's weekend dad aesthetic folks are doing

and there's just not a lot of distance between the latter two things and just the fashion revival cycle doing what it does
