ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

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.

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.

classic look

whats man alive's ceaseless beef with skinny handsome model dude with perfect style tho

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?

put me in a box a send me to the dump friends

Is it called that because you'll be dressed like a bomb fell on your house?

idk how how bombed ppl dress

Lol so basically Nordstrom Rack?

"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.

that first guy's tiepin is one centimetre too wide...

also never wear a beige tie with a black chequered shirt

...

these ppl mostly look awful and Dustin from Parker, CO would definitely look better without his Bombfell wares.

if we cd get a "before"-outfit picture of Dustin from Parker, CO that wd be great

Those square-toed slip-ons prominently featured are killing me. Maybe we should poll this.

Kent from Carlsbad CA is probably the best look out of them -- not something I'd rock but it suits him.

finally a subscription shopping service that knows I want to look like a TJ Maxx discount rack

a few of their customers had their wives blogs mentioned in the descriptions i clicked through to one of them and it was all just links to various clothing/makeup/etc subscription services lol some weird affiliate marketing loop

the other two had some regular posts interspersed with links to shit link that

they didnt seem like blogs anyone read

yeah I wouldn't be surprised if they got free or discount stuff in exchange for blogging -- you see a lot of marketing loop shit like that with startups.

seeing these guys just makes me wanna re-visit fedora thread when lagoon was deep-diving for selfies from the fedora lounge
