Lmao

a cardigan with an unorthodox style

buttons in the back

I went for a long walk in the sun yesterday, and now I want some kind of big straw hat for practical reasons.
Is there any way to do this without looking dumb? I can't really pull off any kind of fashion forward look fyi.

??

I'm already feeling like I'm not going to do anything on this front.

its possible imo

I got these Sisley shorts from Benetton and I'm rather pleased with them for the price: http://www.zalando.co.uk/sisley-shorts-brown-7si22f00i-o11.html?gclid=CLHon6S9_r4CFa_KtAodvXEAqw&size=34&wmc=SEM44_CR_EN_2103106.&opc=2211&ef_id=UzrGuwAAARpxeFy@:20140616131608:s

it's possible to pull it off, or possible that it's best left abandoned?

its possible to pull off! like obvs its not just some entry level look but

i like that one u linked to

tho obvs its hard to say w/o seeing it person trying it on and so forth

I could see you in a boater cv

Do we need a "FUN HATS" thread?

http://www.endclothing.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/ymc_lcm_3.jpg

dude on the right obv

maybe if my sunglasses were also my hat i wldnt lose them for once

If even the model looks like he's about to shoot up a school, it is probably nagl for the rest of us.

Tailoring Q: if I wear a 33, is it better to (A) buy a 34 and get it taken in, (B) buy a 32 and get it let out, (C) neither, just don't buy pants that aren't your size

depends on the fit and cut of the pants!

in general it's easier to take in than let out, but if the smaller pants fit great everywhere except the waist then those would be better

Hmm. So if it's a more "relaxed fit" cut to begin with it sounds like it might be better to get the smaller size.

yup

btw today i'm rocking a linen shirt and linen jacket, yay linen.

Ok I need jeans advice. Until now I've pretty much only owned uniqlo and standard Levi's. I want at least one nicer pair that will look less sulu by going out. I don't really wan to spend over 100 if that's realistic (tell me if it isn't). I would also prefer something without too much pisspants wash or whip marks or cigarette hole type treatment.

Lol less sulu. I think that was supposed to say less shlubby.

Just go to uniqlo

yeah if you want stretchy girl jeans

black 511s look fuckin nice, especially the ones with the white stitching

plus they are stiff and 100% cotton

Maybe these Landsend? I've not worn them, but the chinos from the same line are great and don't fit as tight as that picture. Depends on your build. I think you can still return them at your local sears.

Levi 501 STF in rigid indigo always look good. Go with proper waist size for traditional loose fit, or actually smaller than your real waist for better fit. Don't believe their sizing instructions, and don't machine wash.

Unbranded is okay if you don't mind a low rise look. Go 21oz.

other jeans I'm intrigued by around $100 http://www.wrangler.com/store/WRG_STORE_US/en_US/style/13mwzr.html#categoryId=17672 broken twill

http://www.luthersdenim.com/products/the-47

if you're will to pay more, there are all sorts of artisanal jeans out there from Williamsburg, San Francisco, Montreal, or Osaka to go with your mustache and work boots.

i'm pretty curious about this but haven't placed an order yet: https://www.weargustin.com/

What I've read about Gustin - Some people love their stuff, but the crowd source nature of it leads to long waits and limited options for return. They've had some quality control issues but have taken care of the customers. Consensus seems to be there is equal or better out there for the price (or more, if you are willing to shop around), but if they are kickstarting exactly what you must have then they are great.

There is a kind of a collector attitude going on around the internet, and the inevitable backlash. I'll get a waxed jacket or some heavyweight denim sooner or later. I could wear those Desert Duck Canvas Chino's to work.

That's my problem working retail; no jeans allowed, but I want to look good while doing labor.

A/W!

daamn

i have reservations about that shirt

yeah I do too. I like the print itself but there are issues with a lot of the details. Looks like probably a "n".

also, could not find the "fun shirts" thread for some reason
