ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

You can have my huberd's shoe grease or w/e it's called (recommended by elmo I think rip)

my red wings have held up to canadas winters really well i just sprayed them with some magic from some can i had

basically I don't know much about maintaining boots.

when I first bought mine I sprayed some waterproof stuff (a year ago) but then I think I tried to get too fancy and ended up altering the condition of the leather.

I'll take 'em to a professional

settled

Was it silicone based

today is the first duck boots day this season fyi

xpost beats me!

also jordan if being a teenager taught me anything its that you can get through the winter with nothing but air jordans and athletic socks if you really put your mind to it. nike sb mids also a viable choice

advice from teen lamp

shd be a thread

how epic can yr night be if u didnt even take off your coat

I grew up in dire winter land 100 miles from where they make stormy kromer hats and have a black one. It's good at like 20 degrees and up but doesn't cover my ears enough to be warm below that.

I just buy cheap winter hats (for some reason called "chooks" in upper Michigan) every couple of years at shopko for ten bucks cause who gives a shit, it's winter. Ear flaps for when it's below 10 with the big down jacket and my 25 year old sorels that simply won't die.

I think Fjallraven is kinda douchey too though, sry if offending anyone in this thread.

lol

Fjallraven is okay with me

the whole concept of gear

i have a lifestyle parka

"Look at my delightful swedish kindergarten backback!"

I believe you mean the fox bag

i do like those jackets tho

The jackets are ok, also they're not $800. But the patch annoys me.

i'm assuming this is a bastardization of "tuque" and i love it

i dont get the fjallraven hate, its a backpack and it looks kinda nice? ive been considering getting one but i am interested in what people rock as backpacks on ILS, kinda getting tired of my tiny shoulder bag that doesnt fit my work laptop

how epic can yr night be if u didnt even take off your coat

they are probably at one of those "ice bars"

i bought a filson backpack so im basically worse than even the fjallraven people but its very nice looking. also it matches my other filson luggage which is pretty cool

i kept looking for a cheap vintage canvas backpack like teens in the early 90s had but couldnt find one

everyone on earth appears to have a herschel supply co backpack now

Kanken is very popular too.

yeah, herschel all over the place too (esp canada, dunno if the same down south)

and kanken is the name of fjallraven's backpack i think. herschel & fjallraven kanken are p much all i see (well, and jansports)

thing is i get it, they look good

i dont like to backpack

its like what u got some stuff in there u going somewhere cmon

Frankly I'm shocked the VTer doesn't backpack

im willing to backpack like on a hike but around town no

That's cause you got a car

in ny i dont backpack

i mean i have but i prefer not to

i tote, personally

put the computer in there

headphones, maybe a fruit bar

Tote hurts my shoulder if too much stuff :(

yeah i mean its a lifestyle

totes are great because access to contents is so easy. downside is that unless it's a cool looking tote it either looks like a big purse or a reusable grocery bag

(btw i have a dope looking tote with a native american print not dissimilar to that patagonia fleece, only it's blue)

for my computer bag i use dis which admittedly looks p purse like but idc

Was explained to me as "took," so almost certainly.

these are trending on etsy

if I still lived in the states, i would prob get one of Everlane's backpacks: https://www.everlane.com/collections/mens-backpacks. they used to have a lot more colors than that. otoh, i own a fjallraven jacket so maybe they're douchey.

I can confirm that every university student in Montreal has either a Herschel or Kanken bag

my impression is that fjallraven backpacks are not douchey. just common.
