ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

update: I still cannot keep my pants up

what abt the suspenders w/ hooky clasps? Utilitarian AND butch!

I have seen the exact same ones in both the office break room and the basement dungeon at the leather bar.

i'v been having the same issue recently i feel like one of those guys on the street wit they boxers out

suspenders would make me feel like this guy, from Hollywood Squares circa 1970

big time savings on really nice stuff http://www.mrporter.com/Content/mrporter_sale

This was my technicolor semi-normy stash:

I'll check back again in two weeks or so when the discounts go into ridic mode

I pretty much got out of having a raw denim interest but my friend ordered two pairs of Gustin jeans and they ended up being a little small. So he gave them to me.

:D

Some of those clothes on Mr Porter are insanely expensive, even with the discocunt.

which discocunt?

mr porter is expensive - indeed. i actually saw a ton of nice clothes on their sale this year but nothing i was actually looking for, so it felt like a waste of money. i did see a shirt i bought two months ago at half-price though, that stung me.

there are some t-shirts/shirts/shorts/sweats at p reasonable prices. if you wanted to buy a winter coat now you'd probably get a bargain too.

The last Mr P sale was total garbage, this new one is a little better, but nothing too amazing. Once it goes to 70% off they stick a load of stock from past seasons up as well, so worth checking back then.

Had my heart set on this for a decent summer jacket but it got rinsed as soon as the sale started http://www.mrporter.com/en-gb/mens/apc/cotton-gabardine-lightweight-jacket/540654

i was tempted by some of the weekend bags, some big reductions - but i just bought a 60 quid one on asos so that will do for now.

the stuff goes v quickly - i had a skim monday morning and it was about 10 pages shorter when i looked back that night. i kind of think it's only really worth bothering for coats, jackets or blazers and maybe shoes/bags. or at least i'm less likely to be mad keen to snap up a 120 quid shirt with a 30/40 per cent discount.

everyone needs jacquard sneakers in their life

pmsl at discocunt

btw guy in 'spenders up there is Rosanna Arquette's grandpa

Re weekend bags, nice discocunt whistles job here http://www.whistles.com/accessories/canvas-and-leather-holdall-bag-18001.html?dwvar_canvas-and-leather-holdall-bag-18001_color=Blue%2FMulti#start=1

oh i like that but ended up purchasing a printed hoody/windcheater which also had a nice discocunt.

Rolling discocunts

i left my favorite maroon + gray wide-striped zip-up sweater hoodie at my boss' house this wknd - was kinda bummed but at least i know it's safe

The APC sale is pretty good, just got a pair of denim shorts for 55 quid including delivery. The prices in Euro seem a lot cheaper than the GBP conversions - is VAT missing or something? Would customs try to add that?

As I understand it, they'll try to add charges if they spot it. I don't know if they always do, but it's a bit of a gamble - makes me nervous of ordering clothes from the US.

There wouldn't be customs restrictions or charges from the EU.

Are you sure that VAT is the same in France? If there are no charges then the current euro rate means a lot of savings.

ohhh, it's from france. yeah, no vat and the exchange rate probably explains it maybe.

no extra customs/vat charges that is

Seems like madness not buying direct off any of these euro brands then I guess

Yeah - titolo.ch is basically the only place I buy non-sale trainers, their range of stock is insane and they sometimes randomly get stuff way earlier than everyone else. Earlier in the year adidas released some lovely primeknit stan smiths (common projects Achilles without the gross midsole and hilarious pricetag) which sold out everywhere in a few hours but titolo had them for sale for like two weeks already.

ugh the apc website is such a bummer

Xp also some uk brands are better to go to direct, Folk and Sunspel always have better sales on their own stuff than you'll find elsewhere

i need to upgrade my favorite apc jeans

i don't understand paying £55 for jean shorts

so not gonna happen

jean shorts? you gotta be a reall badass to pull that off

recently i am experimenting with short short camo shorts and white tees

Frankly, Caek I'm tired of your rules

or a real... good ass

lolol

point taken.

jean shorts seem a fairly commonly worn item to me - maybe it's different in the us.

it is. don't get me wrong - i wore them for a long period after they fell out of style, and i still think they can work, but it's definitely harder for guys out here now. girls is a totally different story obv.

jean shorts gotta be ragged and ratty, weird to pay 55 for ragged and ratty

hell no

Strange, I see them p much everywhere. Prefer them to most other forms of shorts

fascinating to me! it was definitely a gay boy thing in NYC for a while, but it's faded somewhat. i love me my cotton shorts

i think i used to f w cutoff jorts in high school but i dont think ive worn them since, kudos to whoever can pull it off tho, feel like its easier for women

"nice" jean shorts come on, that's jerry seinfeld territory
