ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

I support Helen Keller sunglasses

quoddys for 2 hundo http://www.stevenalan.com/F14_NA_F14_807001.html?dwvar_F14__NA__F14__807001_color=BLACK

also i have detected a pattern http://www.norsestore.com has a lot of menswear standards for cheaper than everywhere else, im thinking because theres crazy tax on this stuff in the eurozone but then if u buy from them from the states u dont have to pay the tax and it actually comes out cheaper where it wld be more expensive w the tax

like look common projects usually $400, apc usually $185, these are their normal non sale prices ($25 to ship to usa, tho they had a free shipping thing going for the holidays, i bought a norse projects jacket)

interesting i wonder if there's any risk of getting whacked by customs.

I've never heard of anybody int he states getting whacked by customs

i know ppl who have been whacked by customs ordering stuff from the US to the UK but idk about the reverse

i was not whacked by customs fwiw

unrelated question. i have not worn jeans in prob 6 years and i am thinking of buying a pair? i almost exclusively wear chinos. where is a decent quality, good-fitting, and reasonably priced (~$50-$75) pair of jeans available?

also i am kind of thinking that i also want a jean-like pair of pants that are not blue jeans but are also not chinos. something casual and sturdy and possibly with rivets. something exists like this, right? or am i just thinking of non-blue denim?

Uniqlo

Can depend tho - some stuff is 100% cotton, some is stretchy blend

i know ppl who have been whacked by customs ordering stuff from the US to the UK but idk about the reverse

People in uk are always trying to get you to say it's a gift

Holy moly, it's the time when sweaters go so on sale.

free sweaters for everyone proclaimed the sweater king

man, these sweaters. I got three of 'em tonight, including a giant Vince cashmere cardigan for $70 that was $595 on the tag.

Meanwhile, just found Omar street style on Instagram:

where did u buy yr sweaters

I want 70 buck cashmere tell us pls

Marshall's in Chicago (Clark/Barry/Halsted)

Some excellent stuff in TK Maxx at the moment. Pure cashmere Ballantyne pullovers for £34, reduced from £400, lots of jeans in the £20 range, some decent suits for £60-£70, etc. I couldn't justify a gorgeous green velvet Lanvin smoking jacket for £260 but picked up a terrific Nobis parka for £190 which will keep me warm in Russia and Poland.

FYI Eazy has had mad discount sweater game for as long as I've known him. I remember hanging out in a bar (Edgewater Tavern, IIRC) with him like eight years ago and complementing his lovely sweater and him telling me the incredible discount at which he had purchased it.

Always do my sweater-shopping for the year between Christmas and late January. And always can't avoid talking about the savings.

savings are a topic worth savoring imho

i do love a delicious discount

And some part of me wants to wear a good $595 sweater without having people think I spent $595 on a sweater, so all the more reason to share that I paid $70.

I'm teasing you a little but I'm genuinely impressed with your sweater buying skills! And they are lovely sweaters.

I like wearing a pocket square on occasion but this OTT exploded flower look is new and weirdly compelling to me: http://instagram.com/thepocketsquareindustry

Wait 'til you see these new ones, carl. Whole new sweater level.

not into those crazy pocket squares. i'll wear something subtle if i'm going to a very fancy wedding or something. otherwise no.

Imagine getting the same broey suit cut in 40 different fabrics
