ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

the end of pleats was good for society

its kinda like writing when adopting an unadorned style can get you pretty far so thats why they teach ppl in school to take words out instead of add them

Pleats only work with a high waist. It's kind of how they're designed.

i have a suit w pleated pants but its just a single pleat u cn barely tell

Oh also khaki pleats are terrible and are probably what we think of when we talk about IT workers. Dockers and all that.

Dockers is such a funny name.

its just like how in german u cant display the swastika our nation needs to heal

yeah feel like suit trousers have a fairly light pleat quiet often - is the hatred more for those really pointy pleats?

i dunno, i wear jeans or sweatpants p much always.

xpost the pleat was originally a buddhist symbol

lol tru

khaki pleats are so weird, like how did it even happen where you take a fabric that doesn't drape at all and give it something that relies entirely on drape

i tried to fins a picture of truly terrible 90s pleats be cldnt quite get there, guys were wearing extremely huge pleated khakis like they were going to an office rave

Yeah khakis with multiple pleats -- it looks like you're planning to hold a catered event in your pants.

I was almost gonna post a photo of like Cary Grant or Sean Connery or someone in a nice suit with pleats, but that's sort of cheating, obvs the handsomest dudes in the world with the best tailors in the world are going to make it look good.

I feel like Obama affects that look as part of his schtick btw. Pleated dockers, weatherproof jackets, polos, Hart Schaffner Marx suits, etc. He's trolling the haters with his all-American normcore look.

otm

i question whether that look is really american

i wasn't around the last time pleats were in, but ok with them staying out

all the nice pleat pics i can find of non-famous ppl are pretty #menswear

i question whether that look is really american

I can't fathom what else it would be.

the chinos and polo shirt thing really is no another level here, so far beyond anything accomplished in europe (and a reliable way of spotting american tourists in london etc.)

btw this is lag00ns jacket https://www.google.com/search?q=mary+berry+jackets&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X

the crane print one is great

I mean it's mostly an affluent older conservative thing but it's definitely an American thing.

I can't fathom what else it would be.

iraqi

oh you mean Kenyan I get it

can we talk about how the massively pleated Dockers are always accompanied by a massively billowing button-down shirt, also with pleats.

i spilled a drink on him at tropical 128

i work with guys who pair perfectly fine dress pants with shirts that are three sizes too big for them, you could fit one of those child-carrying backpacks under the back of their shirts.

Some trendy shop like Rag & Bone should put out a "Billowy Dress Shirt"

I mean the oversized shirt-tailed buttoned up to the collar New Wave tunic shirt is SO BACK it's almost over already, which means it's only a matter of time until the finance French blue shirt gets revamped.

For some reason I now get like five different high-end outdoorsy menswear catalogs, including Best Made Co. (famous for its designer axes), some bullshit I've never heard of called Marine Layer, and a bunch of other bullshit I can't even remember now. Maybe bc once I ordered from Bonobos and once I ordered from Gustin?

Guideboat. Another one of them is called Guideboat.

found a good service for lag00n https://twitter.com/bombfell/status/668948173692399616

so you send them all your ugly old clothes in a carboard box and then they throw them out for you?

"bombfell made sure my shirts would fit even if my arms suddenly get three inches longer"

xp lol cold

that guy has 10x more hair than me xp

don't be so hard on yourself

aw I feel bad making fun of these people. they seem so excited about these clothes!

Those people are the founder's friends, and I'm more making fun of the idea that these ensembles were meticulously chosen by a personal shopper for a premium price.
