ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

wool w that speckled look is often tweed

yeah it sounds like you're looking for a slim flannel trouser that's cut more "fashion" than "classic" if that makes any sense.

like brooks bros black fleece though i haven't looked at that line recently

maybe this?

fwiw stevie i have two pairs of those norse projects wool trousers (non-cropped) and they were the first thing that came to mind reading your post. i dont know if theres a name for them other than 'wool trousers' which is what i have always called them. also they are really great and super warm f

yeah "wool trousers" or maybe "flannel trousers". get them hemmed with cuffs at desired height.

Sounds a bit like moleskin pants.

well i got the smaller patagonia and its still huge i give up, it actually fits mostly in a slouchy manner except the sleeves are super wide at the shoulder so it bunches up under my armpits idk man i really liked the idea

maybe i will go to the store and try on some other ones at some point

i tried to get one of those patagonias too but it also fit big/weird, took it to the store to try more on and all the pullovers fit sorta odd tbh

you guys are harshing my dreams of owning that sweet floral fleece posted upthread

i like this shirt jacket a lot

lol @ everybody's failed patagonia pullover attempts

I'm kind of sad. I was really rooting for it to work for one of you.

ha it is pretty funny the great 2015 ils fleece hysteria

worked for me though i consider the weird fit part of the charm

sweet, all is not lost

PHEW good!

embrace the ill fit and get a knit acrylic headband

lean into patagonia

fyi Steven Alan has a pretty sick sale right now, extra 40% off final sale Steven Alan branded items, 25% off non-SA sale items. I ordered a sweater, some chinos, a long-sleeve and a short-sleeve button down shirt. Shit was moving fast though, stuff that was in my cart sold out before I could buy it.

i have also been wearing ill-fitting baggy thriftstore sweatshirts over my faded oxfords all winter long, great look imo but not as advanced

lol steven alan lists the norse projects parka i have for more than double what norse store does, still more expensive on sale + additional 25%

Damn capitalists

prob my current fav garment is a slouchy oversized crewneck sweatshirt, the issue w the patagonia as i see it is the arm holes at the shoulder are huge and this causes weird bunching cause the fleece has some rigidity to it where sweat material doesnt, wld prob work with diff fleece

u sure it's the exact same one? That's weird.

They have the spiewak parka I wanted again, but it would be absurd to buy after already buying another black parka.

exact same one mane

The Steven Alan brand stuff are the deals in that sale anyway

what weekend bags do you all use - been looking for a while for a duffle with no real details to it - i had one from topman which lasted a surprisingly long time. it's always so hard to find this kind of thing.

btw i have vowed many times to stop online buying things on final sale but i cant help myself, totally whiffed on my last steven alan order but managed to guilt trip them into taking the whole order back cause they neglected to remove a security tag from one of the items

i use ll bean tote w zipper and long handles 4 weekend bag, i have the xl but large is a fine size for weekend, u can custom make any colors too which is cool if ur not into the standard two tone, not sure if thats ur type of thing tho

I'm the opposite, I've stopped myself so many times buying the final sale stuff from SA that I went a little overboard this time from "pent up demand" -- wound up adding two more things, some shorts and another shirt.

got a pic?

i don't mind colours but figure for a big i just want grey or black or navy so it can age more gracefully. i don't intend to buy one again for as long as possible.

*for a bag

FWIW I rocked one of the new Peter Millar "classic fit" suits yesterday and got a lot of complements. A classic fit a size down seems to fit me better than the trim fit suit I bought last year. I'm probably just not a trim enough dude to look good in a trim suit, and I had bought a jacket with shoulders a little too big to compensate. This one fits exactly the way I want a suit to fit. Color is great too, blue like a shade or two lighter than navy with a very faint plaid on it.

Kind of similar to this suit except the plaid is different:

this one doesnt have the zip top but u get the idea, mine is old and formless at this point which is nice, at first the canvas is pretty stiff tho as depicted

Them shits are for ppl who put their bag in a car/boat and don't carry it around all day. Forget it.

my lord laurel

lol boat

also i use a small one for my computer bag, tho i dont carry all day, just like when im moving

weekend bag do you mean like "taking a trip for the weekend" or "casual non-work bag that you carry around town"

was assuming weekend trip fwiw

that's my working definition of weekend bag. i have a herschel duffel bag which has an extremely useful shoe compartment so you can pack a second pair of shoes without worrying about them fucking up your clothes.

That is surely a step up from my throw the shoes into a plastic bag approach

thats what i do
