I'm still not at the point where I can just drop $80 or $100 for a single garment bcz I think it looks p cool :-/

good motivation for sacrificing yrself further to the capitalist godhead

I am *flips hair*

yeah these are just a tiny bit above my price range. fantastic clobber though, for sure. i really like the black wax jacket they're doing, only i'd be tempted to scour somewhere like TK Maxx for similar-looking items at a lower price.

who is that fun suit by, sean?

Thom Browne

yea me neither for the most part

feel u guys, gustin shirts are pricey but the jeans feel like an honest to god steal if you have any curiosity abt raw denim.

ugh, after my last post i ended up browsing the TK website for two hours and blew £115 I don't really have :-/ Got p much a whole outfit including jacket and shoes though so not too bad value

all monochromes too... i'm taking the plunge

I like how Gustin sounds like the name of a early 00s serious emo band lol

I had no idea that TJ Maxx was called TK Maxx in the UK! How strange.

really? i had no idea either.

The first European store opened in Bristol in 1994.[5] The company modified the name to T.K. Maxx to avoid "confusion with the established British retail chain TJ Hughes (which is not affiliated with TJX)".[6]

Never heard of TJ Hughes tbh

There is a TJ Hughes in Glasgow. It's a really old-fashioned department store - old people queue up waiting for it to open. It is mostly pretty fusty but it's good for if you need a cheap toaster or umbrella or something.

yoooooo I got a super fitted black pullover hoodie from Kohl's today for $6 and I feel like a lil hardcore kid when I wear it

It's my new favorite

hardcore kid is still agl and always will be

Bought a nice, soft, charcoal grey shirt this weekend; sale item and fits nicely. Pity about the button-down collar.

40% off everything at jcrew factory

Might pick up some work pants what do you think

ya man

btw i own this shirt and recommend it https://factory.jcrew.com/mens-clothing/shirts/workshirts/PRD~B0600/B0600.jsp

the guy at the patagonia store complimented me on it and asked me all about it lol

sometimes finding the simplest piece of clothing can be impossible. all i wanted was an inexpensive block-colour v-neck cotton jumper for work. after what felt like hours of searching around i happened upon one that was 'just fine', got home and it had been mislabelled to an XL size..

have u guys seen any cool layering items for spring? light jackets, sweater blazers, cardigans, things like that?

anyway, after i left, someone in a bookshop complimented me on the yellow camo jacket i was wearing, which was nice because i never felt quite right wearing it despite having bought it for more than i could afford after falling in love with it in an expensive shop a couple of years ago.

im totally into the popover i think i might become a popover guy, ive never felt comfortable wearing button downs untucked maybe this is the wave for me

i don't mind button-downs, but there's always a thing where i feel i should definitely use the buttons if tucked-in + wearing a top, but never sure if i should unbutton them if untucked or not wearing a top.

this is an important dilemma.

i admire popovers (despite the goofy name, wtf is that anyways) and had a nice olive green one for a long time but for some reason i felt a little awkward wearing it. does feel a little more casual than a button-down which can be nice sometimes

maybe nice in summer, but i'd worry i'd feel like i was wearing a bib or something... not sure, maybe that's irrational.

btw FUCK THIS WINTER for so many reasons but a very important one is that i am so so tired of wearing my winter clothes, man. my favorite flannel and chamois shirts that felt so nice and rugged and cozy in november now just feel stale and overworn. i can't even look at my winter coat anymore but it is still so damn cold to wear something else. i'm sick of having hat hair. tired of my boots. the sunlight is so bright so i feel like should be wearing spring clothes but the temperatures just don't work for them. also it feels way too late in the season to commit to buying any new winter clothes to add some freshness.

got these two below, recently.

https://www.thebureaubelfast.com/shop/3432/indigo-8oz-denim-dayton-shirt--exclusive (should be similar versions of this that aren't exclusive to this store and sold out)

already posted this one ages ago: http://www.cheapmonday.com/shop-men/coats-jackets/labour-denim-jacket/4930751-5473755.1?image=5012670#c-47958

i find it p hard to get cardigans that i like. too many shawls - i don't like shawl collars.

have been looking for a coach jacket or light bomber for a while but not really found one that feels worth investing in. i have a heavier asos bomber that i'm starting to wear now the temps are a little up - but it is leather, not really thin enough to layer.

just acquired a second popover from jcrew

I am feeling this post so hard. Plus adding to the general malaise is the fact that all of my dry clean-only winter gear is fucking FILTHY but I can't take it to the cleaners because I need to wear it.

i got a topman coach jacket and a battenwear fleece for spring

oh and a pullover anorak

like that

yes, that's nice. i have a khaki one that i take around with me all the time in the summer in case of showers.

not specifically about men's fashion but as a birkenstock lover it was cool to see this new yorker piece: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/03/23/sole-cycle-rebecca-mead

where's that anorak from max? i like it a lot.
