ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

guys remember when Paper Denim and Cloth used to make good jeans or did I dream that?

now you find them in the aforementioned marshalls and they come with a belt

truth

i love fucking marshalls i've gotten so many dope pieces from there. most recent is a teal swimsuit that fits me like a glove from the boys section for fucking 8.99

wore my long T at the weekend and no one laughed. worked well with this super-thin jacket thing that looks like a leather jacket but is actually more like a shirt.

maybe they are like carrot pants i just need 5 years to adjust

i accidentally put my long t-shirt in the drier. now it's a regular t-shirt.

i accidentally put my long tshirt on my legs now it's a regular skirt no jk

the american apparel ts are kinda long without being of that trend, if anyone is looking for that

oh NEVERMIND that's like a fancy suit. Odin I think.

mf I know a nice suit when I see one. I'm descended from suitmakers.

Wait so I googled is it a Todd Snyder suit from Odin then?

i don't remember! i will check the label when i get home. all the girls at work like it. :)

i love that you are a descendant of suitmakers

My grandfather and his brother made suits in Brooklyn and Manhattan and I think even had a couple of small factories at one point. My dad knew suits pretty well and could sew and do simple hemming and stuff as a result.

I should really leverage this thin story into a brand.

man alive heritage suits

*camera cuts to me deeply inhaling from a fabric swatch*

"of man's many loves, his affair with the suit is one of the oldest and most passionate"

"My grandfather made suits. He died when I was 4, so I can only imagine what his workmanship was like, and it's that imagination that lead me to create my line of heritage suits"

i just bought so many clothes i am happy

i haven't been paid since 1 july as i've changed how i invoice my employer - suffering withdrawal here. on the plus side when i do get paid it'll be justifiably winter and i can buy coats/boots etc.

Combined the extra 20% off weekend sale with a 15% off "new customer" code and pulled the trigger on these jeans:

and this jacket

turned out to be a good buy

nice jacket!

thx! I have had jackets that cut/shape before except this one is sort of a shinier, slicker material and the zipper is gold, so it jumps out a little more.

i have one like that. i wear it when i'm going for like a super goth look.

so i'm going to wear eyeliner again. but like, at night. i think. thoughts?

it's actually navy so not as goth as it looks

It has a slight mobster track suit sheen to it that I'm digging, very much suits my current Queens digs.

oh NAVY. yes i have like a Tommy navy that looks mob slash Brandon Walsh

I like when jackets like that have two zips.

i need to buy like 3 new blazers. $$$ ugh.

i need to buy a cardigan and a blue shirt with embroidered hula dancers and palm trees on it

have been noticing more and more men wearing pants with elasticated cuffs ... a bridge too far

i wore a pair of those when i went to india. they had a drawstring elastic waist too. i think they're acceptable when you're going to spend 18 hours on planes.

i used to have a pair of Chi Pants -

extra gusset innit

i don't mean sweatpants

Me neither!

i am starting to hate this hairstyle (nb if any of you have it i am sure it looks good on you and i mean no harm, i really just mean more as like a "thing" i don't like it, of course any individual style can look good!!) http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/06/fashion/mens-style/undercut-hairstyle-mixes-long-and-short.html

though i guess nytimes style article means it is peaking and will soon if not already be on the decline

ripped jeans seem kinda lame but pants with elastic cuffs otoh I am all about

i also had that haircut but dont anymore. shrug emoji palm tree emoji sunglasses emoji

had that haircut a couple times over the past cpl years but i was saying a desperately need a haircut to a friend recently (i really do, this shit is like peak-neglect keanu reeves long) and he said i sohuld get "that one with the shaved sides" and i groaned super loud. its still decent but goddamn is it played out.

i think i am going to look to keanu as my haircut spirit animal tho.

i'm currently around/possibly even longer than this

http://usercontent2.hubimg.com/4944955_f260.jpg

yeah i'm digging keanu surfstyle

yea man just keep it long

i am growing mine out right now, it hasn't been too long (about 4 months) and i have pretty wavy/curly hair so it doesn't look too long yet (and it any case it just kind of puffs out rather than grows down) so i am getting inspired by longer styles

this nytimes "stylish men of tumblr" lol slideshow is generally horrible imo but i really really really like this dude's hair: http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2015/09/11/fashion/the-stylish-men-of-tumblr/s/08RUNWAY-slide-8IS4.html (slides 17-18, i'd post img but nytimes won't let me grab it), mine is curly than that but i'd love to do some curlier version of what he has someday, it will take a long time though prob like a year

virt everyone i know is telling me my hair looks better short but :/ i shd post an irl picture of me. i will take one next time i take the elevator alone

wow @ that article being written in 2015

Even the NYTimes reported on this hairstyle at least 2-3 years ago, back when it was edgier and sometimes referred to as the "hitler youth" haircut (although there seem to be many variations, not all of which fit that description).

Anyway, it's pretty common even among trendier wall street types now. All styles go through this progression, it is the circle of life my son.
