ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

"flat" not "straight", rather

i am not nearly street enough to rock a flat brim, to my chagrin and dismay

nah you can do it!!

I got a lovely czech army parka about 3 years ago. Really thick lining, the warmest coat I've ever owned, nice shade of green, & cut a bit shorter (fishtails don't look right on me).

I can't get anything stylish with a winter coat, it must just be the warmest coat possible. Considered purchasing this one last year: http://featheredfriends.com/rock-ice-down-parka.html

And these pants: http://featheredfriends.com/40-below-down-pants.html

Or maybe I just just go all in and get the suit: http://featheredfriends.com/expedition-down-suit.html

I get really cold.

the black one is not bad i dont really like the two tone paneling of the rest tho

yea black one is pretty cool

i think i need a break from "technical" winter wear personally

ya my parka is non tech

I'm going to start an ultra-warm parka company called Special Snowflake

just for Jeff

i wish i could just go to work in boxers and a tee those are really some of my best outfits tbh

haha

around the house when it is super hot i wear these retro climbing shorts from patagonia with no shirt and my browns snapback hat i'll admit that i dig this look and wish i could wear it out

haven't worn boxers in maybe 10 years

apparently in thailand during the summer guys will wear boxers as shorts (with briefs underneath)

^ in the small town i grew up in this was totally a style for 1-2 summers. we had some weird isolated styles sometimes

also to make tihngs worse, they were "funny" boxers

v nice

you should have bought a bigger size

tailoring question: how much would you expect to pay in nyc for the following alterations:

suit: let out jacket, let out waist, hem pants
wool pants: let out waist, hem pants
jeans: take in waist, hem pants

?

suit: $80?
pants: $40?
jeans: $50 if selvedge?

ish

Ok, I paid more than that, feel like it was too expensive, but I was sort of in a pinch. He may have charged more for the rush suit order.

suit guess on the low side in hindsight

started my CORP job this week, bought some expensive italian shirts

man alive, where did you go for tailoring?

how long is...

tailor near my office called Peppi's Tailor, little one-man shop. Had some very positive reviews on google and yelp (though not a lot of reviews), and when I talked to the guy on the phone I just liked him for some reason, sounded confident that he knew what he was doing or something.

But he didn't really give me a full breakdown of the itemized charges, just the total, and I was so panicked about making sure the suit is going to be ready (for a wedding) and since he could get it done fast I just said ok. So I feel like he probably overcharged me a little on purpose, but IDK.

lagoon what are the white shoes second from left? tennis classics?

i found out about these beauties long after they'd sold out ... pretty sad abt it tbh: http://www.oipolloi.com/products/reebok-oi-polloi-npc-uk-ii-chalk-sandtrap-collegiate-royal-flat-grey

ive always really hated all white sneaks so more for u guys I guess

I hate them too.

u guys just need to believe in yrselves

love white sneakers - have way too many pairs cos i hate them getting dirty.

i dig them on other folks but i can't do them myself

white and teal is a good look imo

this was the first summer i really went all in with white sneakers. now i need to figure out how to clean them.

dirty white sneakers r good then eventually u throw them away

xp yea my sunglasses are white and teal, agree

also i got new regular glasses last week
