ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

Would like to see the reaction if I showed up at the office with one

I mean though are they fedora/e-cig level? or are there certain contexts in which they can be stylishly worn by certain kinds of ppl? I mean Nick Wooster, for one, he would look p fly w/ one right?

ultimately thats true of anything?

what abt jncos

basically i need a new wallet and sometimes i think chain wallets look p cool and maybe they'd ~resonate~ with my ~personal aesthetic~ but idk would i just look like a total wiener?

i wear jncos as a jumper m8

xp what's your personal aesthetic?

i dunno, i don't think anyone's really worn a chain wallet since '98 but maybe it's time for a revival?

feel like artisanal mixologists have revived chain wallets at some point

I had one in high school.

i have seen some chain wallets except with a leather strap of late

hand-twisted artisinal leather strap wallet

I had a chain wallet as a teenager =D

Nah they weren't really a fashion statement bro, it was about making sure no one ganked your shit when you went into the pit.

smdh at these fuckin posers

i think chain wallets can totally work if you have kind of a punk aesthetic going on. but if you have sideburns that go down to your jawline and you wear a fedora then no they are nagl imo

but what is, really

(btw i had one as a young teenage and i wore them with jncos, talking like age 13-14 here)

I took the chain off Jeff's high school chain wallet and used it as a wallet for like five years.

you used the chain as a wallet?

I used the wallet as a wallet. I don't think I used the chain for anything.

stevie i think you should hop on the jnco revival and get those like plastic raver wallet chains

just anything thats raver is the new look... bucket hats... w/e seth green was wearing... drugs

most of my understanding of raves comes from tv shows in the early 2000s i think. p sure they went to a rave on dawsons creek once but dawson was wearing mom jeans and an ill-fitting sweater with a horizontal stripe

'whats my age again?'core

wouldn't that be naked?

the chain wallet works best in conjunction with chain sleeves and socks that chain to your shoes

I've had a wallet chain for like twenty years now (it's totally visible in a pic from 1994 I posted in the old photos thread the other day). I don't hang it out (anymore at least) but I clip my keys to the chain and keep them in my front pocket, so there's just a small piece of thin chain that runs from my right hip pocket to the front one.

It lets me always keep my keys and wallet tied together and attached to me and I can easily fish my keys out of my pocket with it.

has the carabiner w/ keys replaced the wallet chain?

That's exclusively like college kids

no i was thinking the chunky carabiner with a million keys that you see on bike messengers

lol I have a chunky carabiner w/ a million keys and commute on a single-speed

also an 8 year old Chrome bag

how do you commute on a bag

psh you don't know?

the loop, I am out of it

the bag you are commuting on it

stevie i think you could for sure pull off a chain wallet in certain looks, the thing i would question is if you always want to be wearing a chain wallet, like every single day (unless you want to be a weird person with multiple wallets).

yeah that's so true, i think I'll just get one of these in grey, v slim, v durable:

fuckin done w/ wallets gradually tearing holes in my back pocket

chain wallets seem kind of portland OR to me?

portland or what to you

portland OR gtfo

ty for clarifying not Portland ME

portland or bust (what all the indies say)

portland me (what all the indies say {to their stylists])

Carabiners feel Portland, chain wallets feel more like Spokane dudes who always smell like cigarettes

I just got a Crabby wallet, I really like it

hello from portland literally no one here has a chain wallet, carabiners were m/l ubiquitous 5-10 years ago but i see them much less these days

tres portland

Hey I saw a dude with a wallet chain on the bus today! He was wearing black jeans, carrying a brown leather briefcase, and wearing black vans. #nofear
