ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

even that name! Xpost

I definitely wear hoodies a lot less than I used to. I did recently buy a pretty nice Rag & Bone hoodie on ebay for a good price but then realized it was the wrong size and sold it to someone else.

i like hoodies and the name but lets be clear here folks pull over hoodies

like people be calling zipper hoodies "hoodies" but thats a subsidiary hoodie

as long as there are sweaters in the world, never wear hoodies imo

I even like normal (non hoodie non zip up) sweatshirts. a nice solid color or heather grey for instance. combine w a light hooded parka.

For a more mature, anti-jogging look pair a hoodie with a blazer

please do not do this

theyre just different garments man its silly to be all only wear one but not the other

like i own hoodies and crewneck sweatshirts and zip up sweatshirts w no hood

I'm just someone who hates hoodies is all

each has its own vibe

Cotton crew neck sweatshirt w the little triangle, I love it

lagoon i was thinking the opposite. pull over hoodies really have the jogging effect imo. zipper hoodies are just casual dress. though it should always be a metal zipper imo. remember when american apparel first came around and people started wearing their hoodies but they were shitty imo because they had that flimsy plastic zipper

I wear hoodies about 84% of the time I'm wearing casual clothes (non-summer).

Little triangle is key yeah

i have stopped wearing hoodies to work

in fact i am upping my work dress game considerably in the 20 one four - jeans are out too

With a collared shirt evident underneath but not sticking out too much

u know what zip sweatshirt i like is this guy http://store.americanapparel.net/california-fleece-zip-jogger_5431

it nice cause its super minimal no chunky silver zipper or weird piping or different color stuff or anything, i have a black one and a grey one, and also a sea foam one that didnt really take but sometimes i wear it for exercise or lounging

finally!

pullover hoodies are def super casual but a very dope design none the less, zip hoodies just sort of hang off u being all im just gonna hang here

This is the hoody I'm wearing now. It's basically falling apart. It's like 8 years old.

the one zip hoodie i can abide by are those super thick old school blue ones w the waffle lining

i wonder how i get one of those

1 vote for zip hoodies, altho i used to always have a bunch and now i am down to one, so maybe i am moving on anyway

I had this blue champion brand pullover hoodie that I used to rock a lot in a proto-normcore sort of way. Held up for a long time but eventually too many washes made it look kind of limp.

i like that hoodie jeff. dark grey is a nice color for a hoodie. mine is kind of a charcoal-ish color, not completely black but darker than grey.

i was looking at champion hoodies the other day i might get one, the hood is such an excessive shape tho idk

lagoon i think maybe carhartt sells the super-thick hoodies with the waffle lining

also all of them seem to just have the logo on the l breast but i wld like one w the whole name in script liek it used to be

oh yeah good call xp

of course the only people making the old school waffle lining is some artisan shit lol http://www.ebay.com/itm/N-Hoolywood-Mister-Hollywood-Waffle-Lined-Zip-Hoodie-Sweatshirt-Maroon-Medium-/281238254252

everythings fleece lined thee days

Originally sold at Opening Ceremony.
Nice fit. Warm and comfy.

:/

anyway the lining give it some structural integrity and shape

everlane makes great crewneck sweats w/ no triangle

those look p chill

I refuse to say the word "hoodie" and always refer to them as hooded sweatshirts even if it makes me sound like a pedantic asshole. I only ever get $10 black ones and wear them when I walk the dog or whatever.

Also I'm kind of feeling markers here in tying to not feel like as much of a slob. I used to be way worse and have kind of started dressing nicer to some degree. For the last 15 years I've worked in the basement of an IT department, the basement of a university library, and in grad school for art and the fashion bar was set super low for all of these - wearing a shirt with buttons meant you were often the classiest person in the room.

I've lost like 80 pounds over the last 10 years (could stand to lose another 20) so I'm no longer a huge fatass but even if I was emaciated I'd still have a huge barrel chest and look like a football lineman. Are there places to look for clothing ideas that aren't super skinny models but also aren't shit like this?

i dont know anything abt big clothes but damn nice job with the steady weight loss

btw i bought vintage emerald w purple lining landsend and new black worlrich jackets last night i really need to not read this thread

Ugh that guy is so obviously a "dad."

i'm really not a fan of shaped and sculpted beards like that

My bf isn't that tall (5'10"?) but he does have a gigantic chest/torso circumference and I'm trying to think what he wears...he works in a woodshop so usu dresses p casual. He has a lot of colorful shirts and some nice sport jackets but they're all over the place bc he wears them so rarely.

I do think he has the issue of shirts being flappy around his upper arms when they're big enough for his chest/neck, I made him start getting more fitted tees bc the underwear brand ones assume your arms are giant apparently.
