ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

gym clothes can look great anything can look great, pull over hoodie just generally looks greater than the zip hoodie, also considering the zip hoodie the foundational hoodie when really its a variant is silicon valley propaganda

lmao

Bajas for life.

also i googled "zip vs pullover hoodie debate" and this thread comes up w/ basically the exact same argument verbatim about 7 months ago including zuckerberg = zip hoodie reference

anyway complaining abt gym clothes in this day and age seems a lil

shaming ppl over zip hoodies is one of my hobbies xp

zip hoodies arent even warm the wind just whistles right through the teeth and into your ribcage and then you are just a cold zuck with a limp flapping hood

i'm definitely not complaining abt gym clothes. i love a good hoodie of both varieties. altho lately it's been zips b/c all of the pullovers i have bought in the last 3-ish years have ended up being formless duds :( thats on me tho, getting lazy abt trying shit on (zips are easier to try on at a store no doubt)

and i definitely associate zip hoodies w/ early 2000s hardcore bands more than tech bros, i guess my associations are out of date in 2k15

lol in my day pullovers were the hardcore hoodie of choice

fwiw I had an old blue champion pullover hoodie that I rocked for a really long time and it held its structure for years before starting to look a little too schlubby.

I always felt like such a punk poser because I had a zip hoodie instead of a pullover.

this was more or less the uniform when i went to a bunch of shows like that

this is like... i can't remember the years but no earlier than 2000 and no later than 2004

yeah I totally associate the zip hoodie with jersey hardcore kids

nobody cares about zip v pullover hoodies apart from itt

guess that kind of thought would end ilx in a day

besides that you are totally wrong, zip vs pullover is an exhausting conversation i have heard so many times on the internet and in real life, not just ilx, it's the hot-dog-is-a-sandwich of men's fashion

the only difference is idgaf zip vs pullover, whereas i have very strong feelings about hot dog as a sandwich

side note, in saskatchewan they call pullover hoodies "bunny hugs," which is adorable and belongs itt

the difference is it doesnt matter if u call a hot dog a sandwich u will still eat the hot dog but with hoodies u will wear the wrong hoodie

xp nobody cares about zip v pullover hoodies apart from itt

iirc never worn a hoodie myself but find the debate rather fascinating

whereas i have very strong feelings about hot dog as a sandwich

condols

maybe it's an american thing

love to eat taco style hot dog sandwich

I have one hoodie. It's a woman's hoodie an old roommate gave me like fifteen years ago. It is a zip hoodie and it's red and I wear it when it's raining enough that I need protection but not enough that i would take an umbrella.

you are sincerely welcome for my contribution to this torrid debate.

the curious rain habits of pnw residents

sometimes I wear a sports jacket over it and I feel like I'm in a c. 2002 emo band or something, please save me from myself

after thinking this over awhile, all i can come up with is pullovers = chill, zip-ups = unchill

think someone already said that

also tech bros co-opted the zip hoodie, it's been around for a long time. are you gonna shit on jeans or sneakers too because guess what tech bros wear jeans and sneakers

tech bros own the zip hoodie sry and theres a reason they chose it, its bad

never going to renounce my zip hoodies I guess I'm ok with being wrong

there is no wrong

tech bros own the zip hoodie sry and theres a reason they chose it, its bad

I mean fratty douches who wear huge mesh shorts have had the pullover hoodie for a long time so not really seeing your point

pullover is definitely the hoodie of choice for expressing college football fandom, for example

lol the style mavens itt taking shots at me, i welcome yr enmity haters

idk if comparing you to the genius coach of your favorite team is really a shot but yes I will crush u

belichick hoodie >>> yr questions abt selvedge asses

lol dying here

i have four hoodies, two pullover and two zip, both have their place imo but I do notice I tend to wear the zip ones mostly zipped up

one of the pullovers is a supreme hoody made by reigning champ and it is pretty much bulletproof

one of the zip hoodies is a polo ralph lauren basic model, it is also extremely well made and has lasted years and years

i have to disagree with the james perse recommendation -awhile back I was buying a ton of his stuff and all of it fell apart within a year

if you want to talk stupidly expensive try real mccoy's. i have a few of their sweatshirts (not hoodies) and they are pretty much the finest sweatshirts known to man. i have had them for like six years and they pretty much look brand new

now i feel somewhat like a jackass for ripping mccoy's, getting into "craftsmanship, consumerism, virtue, privilege, and quality" territory here i fear

i have a james perse white tee and i agree the quality isn't amazing. not really bad, and it definitely feels nicer to wear than other tees i have, but after a couple of washes parts of it lost the smoothness. i've yet to find a type of white t-shirt that i can just keep buying, safe in the knowledge it is good fit and quality.

ive been living out of a suitcase for the last few months and am excited to be reunited w the rest of my clothes :)

i don't like hoodies, wear sweatshirts only. i like reigning champ a lot, though I've never bought any of their t-shrits etc. just the sweatshirts.

and the sweatshirts have lasted well

I'm pretty happy with the Gustin tees for the price btw, although they're a little on the long side for me.

I've been looking at some shops/labels that I usually like and I'm starting to think AW15 just isn't for me. Everything is grey and in some weird material.

Pullover hoodies look OK but they're too much of a commitment. With zip-ups, you can moderate your temperature. In a pullover when I overhear I have to take the whole thing off.

I guess I could pull it up over my belly till I cool off.

can a sneaker pimp id these shoes for me plz
