ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

ohh a colleague had a coat yesterday that totally had that "sack" look and it looked great! it was wool and had a green tweed kind of fabric, i totally dug it

i went to the j press sample sale today and tried on a $2400 coat

reduced to $400 but it was too big

and it made me look like a FIFA board member

I didn't wanna mess up this thirty-seven hundred dollar lynx coat
So instead I chilled

i actually was quite similar to that one xxp

it weighed about 30 lbs

thanks to this thread i bought a bunch of shit today while i was supposed to be xmas shopping

did not buy but wanted to a pendleton carpet bag

hey look some assholes have a kickstarter for slim-fit urban overalls

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rousersoveralls/rousers-overalls-for-the-modern-urban-man

Fantastic

haha

thing is i actually like overalls! huge doubts whether i could pull them off though. but yea those are dumb. basically i think overalls only work if:

-you are in a bluegrass band
-you work or live on a farm
-you are doing some kind of work that requires the coverage of overalls, e.g. woodworking, carpentry, construction, etc.

-you are in Color Me Badd

think if i lived on at least a half-acre, preferably more, of land in western MA i could wear overalls around the house and yard.

oh right lol xp

I can't find a picture of it, but the Brioni store window in midtown has this kimono-suit right now, it's like a charcoal wool business suit only the jacket is a wool kimono. IDK if that's cool or dumb, but I thought it was kind of funny. I do kind of covet Brioni suits tho. I have a Brioni tie that is my bigshot power tie.

Was a popular look when I was in 8th grade.

kimono suit sounds like a power move if ever there was one

Yes, I was going through am old yearbook recently and was surprised at all the overalls. I don't think I noticed anyone who didn't wear docs at the time.

also made me think of "open the kimono" xp. Now picturing a movie scene in a boardroom where guy at the head stands up and says "I think we ought to open the kimono on this one" *opens kimono suit jacket, pulls out machine gun, guns down entire board*

i had docs and overalls

Was it a crossover success?

what was your favorite band in your docs/overalls era? I'm thinking REM or maybe Red House Painters

i never really got into either of those bands tbh, im gonna say like de la soul or firehose? something like that

yeah it's definitely a little kickstartery/pomplamoussian but if it legitimately means getting good jeans at a lower price would give it a shot. The problem for me is that $99+ is still a pretty high price point for jeans in my book so they'd have to be damn good.

just buy yrself some nice jeans from an established denim provider {calculate jeans math}

i have a pair coming in a couple weeks. finally saw a fabric i really dug after a few months of keeping an eye on their stuff.

I can't buy nice pants because my waist size goes up and down too much. I'd have to get like 5 different sizes.

they did have one really nice looking recently one that I think was called Italian Green-something (green was not the color of the jean so not sure if that's right) -- maybe greenline?

still not ready to bite the bullet and buy some APC's or something, and way to afraid that I will gain or lose a lot of weight and have wasted the money

just buy like five pairs in all different sizes

srsly tho ur ready to drop $100 on some spec jeans but wont pay $175 for ones that are verified fire

that's the one i got!

nice! That was the first one that really stood out to me as not just looking like Yet Another Raw Selvedge Jean

yeah it was unique but not obnoxious.

this one otoh, do not want

https://s3.amazonaws.com/gustin-production/attached_assets/assets/000/015/050/large/1a.81_lean2.jpg?1416943472

nothing on the site at the moment really catches my eye actually, but it changes a lot. maybe the olive chino, but that's pricey.

sry u have to get them

also really do not like schlubby "unstructured" sport coats in general

unstructured is tite man maybe u cant shlub it off tho

yeah like i said i watched for a long time before i saw anything i wanted to buy. if i like the fit of these jeans i could see myself getting some chinos though.

plz report back

wld like a jacket so unstructured (SHAWL COLLAR) its almost a cardigan, id just shlub all the fuck around town in it
