ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

my barber has a bad toupee and gives great haircuts, so I wouldn't automatically rule him out. However I would definitely avoid anyone who doesn't keep a neat shop.

my barber is an old sicilian dude with thinning slicked back old sicilian dude hair.

the shop itself is a nightmare littered with coffee cups and ancient penthouse magazines, which people pick up and flip through. the sicilian dudes just talk amongst themselves in italian. people drop in to say hi in very demonstrative ways. all the pictures on the wall are of haircuts from like 1985. last time the guy was like "what you want? you want that?" and gestured to a picture of basically simon le bon. it is the best place.

haircuts are fine imo but i work in higher education so nothing matters

nice

lol, great post

i've also been thinking about what to do about my hair. i'm going bald in a really weird asymetrical way and it's pissing me the hell off, like my hair is still beautiful but it's slowly but surely thinning on the top right corner of my forehead. i part my hair to the left so you can see straight through to the apex of my cranium... fuckin sucks ass cause everywhere else my hair is decently thick. it's less noticeable the shorter i go i like the way it looks medium length.... any bald bros got some advice?

went to Dover Street Market this weekend and all I wanna do is wear Comme des Garcons Homme Plus all day every day

also the new Balmain x H&M line looks dope:

part it from the other side?

is that a jumpsuit? xp

YES!!! I WANT A BALMAIN JUMPSUIT

NAGL

besides its h&M it's going to look nothing like that in the flesh. it's going to look like polythene bags sewn together by a pakistani child.

i can't think of any man, other than a motorcyclist, who wouldn't look like a douche when wearing a jumpsuit.

maverick, iceman, goose

If try it.

I think stevie could pull it off and am jealous

stevie could definitely pull it off

lol some ppl need to chill out itt everyone calling things other ppl like douchey or telling ppl to grow up shd post pictures of their no doubt stunning outfits every day

otm

also where is a good place to get a wool coat, something casual for every day wear, not like an overcoat

any idea what style u want

yea i think i have an idea in my head but not totally sure how to articulate it

something that serves similar function to a peacoat, (which i have but i'm pretty tired of it, ive had it for 15 years), i.e. medium-length, casual, wool, warm, but i don't want a double-breasted coat and i'd like to maybe get something other than navy/black, probably gray and maybe herringbone or something?

maybe something like this, http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/barney-cools-woolen-hooded-fishtail-parka/4126175?origin=category

also i'm kind of burned out on that giant collar thing that peacoats have, pretty sure i don't want my new coat to have that

ohh also this is very cool imo but fuck if i'm gonna spend $980 http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/white-mountaineering-plaid-flannel-coat/4157524?origin=category&BaseUrl=Wool+%26+Wool+Blends

maybe something like this, http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/barney-cools-woolen-hooded-fishtail-parka/4126175?origin=category

i like that except for the weird tail thing, its similar to a duffle coat w/o the elaborate buttons, was gonna suggest just going to nordstrom or bloomingdales or something cause theyll have a lot of diff styles

lol at white mountaineering being the name of a high end outdoor line

haha totally

i really dig that coat though, i love the fit on it

it is also not really a coat i would wear in the mountains, people made "winter technical" shit for precisely that reason imo

What about this:
https://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/jacketsandcoats/wool/PRDOVR~C9525/C9525.jsp

currently about 225 with the sale code. I like the army green.

I'm kind of coveting this right now, but NOT spending 450

https://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/jacketsandcoats/wool/PRDOVR~E1311/E1311.jsp

i like that jcrew army green one a lot

$225 is pretty good too

ya i like the coaches jacket

oh i like that houndstooth one too

on the J. Crew tip, I really like the style of their hoodies tho I've never owned one

wld prob do the navy tho personally more versatile xp

there are a lot of duffel coats i'm liking but i can't handle the fussy buttons, too much imo

don't buy a duffel coat. I think a few of us had a colloquy above about why we don't like duffel coats.

hmm, maybe wasn't in this thread?

is this a joke based on the fact this is your pastime itt? zip hoodies etc!

i dunno if white mountaineering is actually meant to be outdoor wear - i guess perhaps it is but it just seems like kind of more general. it's japanese. got a sweater of theirs a few weeks ago.

i got this coat for winter - had a 25 per cent off code - http://www.endclothing.com/gb/brands/our-legacy/our-legacy-classic-coat-2151ccwbw.html - i have a navy coat from last year but wanted to be able to wear all black occasionally.

btw I know you said you didn't want navy (tho there is a charcoal version), but I can vouch for this being a good coat, plus it's at discount right now

https://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/jacketsandcoats/wool/PRDOVR~C9523/C9523.jsp?color_name=hthr-navy

liking these coats itt but upcoming canadian winter means i need something more serious :(

i made an important rigorous cultural sartorial and historical argument against zip hoodies being the ur-hoodie which is like totally a diff thing than drive by douching by ppl who prob think liking clothes is moral failure

sorry for hardmanning but grown adults shouldn't pay $35 for sandals with writing on them

i mean like i wasnt even really gonna buy them just a bit of fun gosh

ooh, really like that Our Legacy coat, damn.

where is the discount?

oh sorry mixing up two diff posts

hmm that car coat is nice too -- do you think it would work with a suit? I like that particular navy color a lot but I have too much navy stuff already.

the discount was just for a week - there was a code. that shop sometimes do free shipping which i guess would make sense if you are in the us. it is really nice - very soft wool and a great cut.

all my fantastic opinions need sharing sorry if you cant handle the realness

car coat is a funny name for a coat

think you meant to tweet that
