ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

i mean i wear a winter cap when ness but id rather not

big sale at patagonia bros

uh oh

phew they dont have the furry one in my size

I like the ones that look like Cosby sweaters. But did Cosby ruin Cosby sweaters now?

no its okay since its not an actual sweater

panels on the side nah that's not me

i haven't bought a hoodie in years bcz i feel like i've "grown out" of them but i like the punk-rock aesthetic of a v tight-fitting black zip hoodie tho so i might go buy one

pullover hoodies >>> zip ups tho i still have a zip up

besides everlane i like some of the reigning champ stuff

but the best thing about everlane sweats is the lack of the collar triangle

no collar triangle no credibility

what is the collar triangle even i think it might be a disease

cheers carl! (many many xps)

if we're talking about the little wishbone/cross thing on the front of sweatshirts, i don't like them.

the triangle, not the cross

a good rule of thumb here is that it's a triangle

the cross is another debate i guess

then i'm not sure what we're talkign about. pic?

yeah, thought that's what we were talking about. sometimes the triangle forms a little cross-shaped thing at the front. not a fan. then again i'm not a huge fan of sweatshirts

Grand pronouncement: A man needs a sweatshirt, or a utility sweater.

I'd rather wear a hoodie or knitted jumper than a sweatshirt. Just not sure how to 'wear' them really (i.e. what to wear them with and in what context).

man, pullover vs zip hoodies is an enduring ilx debate i guess. don't want to just slip back into the face off of restating contradictory positions so i am going to just offer a little bit of advice, if you think pullover hoodie > zip then i recommend you reevaluate every single facet of your existence. it will be a hard road but worth it in the end i promise and when you get there maybe i'll let you buy me a beer.

Maybe I"ll let you zip my hoodie up

dtz

The zip is great for lounging around the apartment in and for making casual runs to the grocery store

But that hoodie part has to go

That's why I bought a 'fleece jogger' from Am Ap that fits too small

Therefore I was gonna go back to the zip hood and was intrigued

By Everlane

Now though i just don't know what to think

In life, who does the zipping, and who does the unzipping?

Confused

The pullover is good becaues it structuarally allows you to use thicker cotton

But putting one on is a commitment

It means you're wearing one for the rest of the day

It's a lot to deal with

I put on and remove a lot, so the zip is essential. I also like to layer hoodies, much easier if they are all zip.

that is how i feel, a hoodie is essentially a layering piece and the zip gives you more control

hoodies are for zuckerbros in my line of work. i eschew them.

both kinds of hoodies

bought my first hoodie in several years this winter - i don't always like how hoods look or having them under jackets etc despite the cocoon joy of wearing one

no zukerbros are strickly zip hoodie xp

Yeah man didn't you see the movie

srsly did u even see the movie its p good

But putting one on is a commitment

It means you're wearing one for the rest of the day

It's a lot to deal with

otm, plus the neck on pullovers is always so small. that's why you see jocks (who wear pullover hoodies all the fucking time) cut the corners of the hood to separate it from the sweatshirt a little. nagl imo. pullovers are a pain to get on and off and if you get too warm there is no option except to take it off.

zip you can open up if you get too warm but you still get to wear the hoodie

pullovers just seem clunky and weird to me

I like the ones that look like Cosby sweaters. But did Cosby ruin Cosby sweaters now?

I've been wondering the same thing. If they can just pivot to being Biggie Sweaters instead, I think they'll last. Otherwise...

i do feel like we had this debate very recently though. and i mentioned that if you wear a zip then it should have the metal zippers and not those flimsy-ass thin plastic zipper on those cheap american apparel hoodies. have had very bad experience with AA hoodies, max otm re: quality control.

unrelated question but i got a blazer similar to this as a christmas present from my in-laws and i don't know what color pants to wear it with, what do you all think? camel corduroy blazer, i don't wear blazers often so i don't quite know how to pair it

navy

medium gray too

and jeans

great piece actually v. versatile

Yeah navy trousers or medium to dark blue jeans was the first thing that came to mind. Grey would work too. You could also do a strong contrasting color like red.

you could go full Magic Band with something like that. I like it.

yea it is really a great blazer but most of the pants i own are dark gray or faded black and it doesn't quite work with those, think i need some new to wear with it

pair it w the new yeezys maybe

i should always ask for nice clothes from my father-in-law, he knows his shit, his family had a tailor shop that he grew up working in. he is NEVER underdressed, ever, i've seen this guy in a t-shirt like ONCE and it was on a boat and we went swimming after. even then i was surprised his shirt didn't have a collar. so he is a good person to ask about nice clothes.

did you get a BB like what I think the one in the pic is? That's gonna be a good quality blazer if so, wear it into old age.

yea it was brooks brothers
