be the sleeves you wish to see in the world

i have one french cuff shirt that i wore for my wedding, it was a custom made shirt which was pretty cool. my wife gave me some very simple silver cufflinks from jos a bank that are subtle and unobnoxious

lol xp

hmm yeah these are cheap and not terrible:

i have silver/white mother of pearl cufflinks, they go with everything. monkey fists can be useful in a pinch but i think they make you look a bit toby esterhase.

cufflinks seem like one of the rare times it's worth it to look for vintage

cufflinks, french cuffs, are bad imo dont @ me

yea i think i have these ones (silver not gold)

i don't know who toby esterhase is, someone british i assume

i only wear them for weddings

i knew u wld say that

only w/tuxedo these days for me

i would go for something like this in a cufflink http://www.tmlewin.co.uk/Black-Woven-Round-Cufflinks/505466119345,en_GB,pd.html

i wore them to a job interview that was held at a mayfair club once. the interview was in the small ballroom and it wasn't that small. i think that's a time you wear cufflinks

walk slowly into the ocean imo

I just don't know how to wear them with anything other than a dinner suit - the cuffs always feel weirdly thick and why do I want to look like I have thick wrists

I was never previously a fan, but this is probably the nicest dress shirt I've ever had and I want to wear it at some point.

what's happening in eyewear these day? i feel like I've been seeing some cool glasses lately, lots of roundish shapes in interesting colors

round has been the thing to go with these days. it has reached its peak. i anticipate a return to form for men, in steel and metals perhaps.

idk if I've posted this before, apologies if I have (i'm not loading and searchign 6000+ messages), but I just got this very retro Ivy League-style sweater for Christmas and on paper it's prob p far outside of "my look" but I reaaaaallllllly love it

Is that a Rutgers sweater?

aha, it is:
https://www.hillflint.com/rutgers-crewneck-heritage-sweater

yes but someone at work just complimented me on my "Team Rocket sweater" and now I love it ten times more

can i be shown some nice winter coats of the big puffy variety? got $$$ this year for the first time in a while and lost my nice BPWJ in Houston last Jan >:-|

do you mean like a parka?

uniqlo has some down parkas this year (not the usual shiny italian tourist down jackets they sell). they're all on sale rn.

just any big warm winter coat, parka incl

thx for the uniqlo tip

I think this is a really nice parka, if you want to spend that amount. Still kicking myself for not buying the Spiewak parka for $250 last winter.

although I notice it doesn't have angled pockets, which are better for handwarming.

that is really nice

i got this one in the sales this week:

PUBLIC SCHOOL

lol i know - it really is at odds with the clothes they make. what does "public school" mean to americans? it's an nyc label i think.

it means the opposite of what it means in the uk

same in ireland

public school, written like that, probably is intended to evoke a sense of the unadorned or unfussy, probably streetwear, universal and approachable. its still incredibly stupid maybe actually stupider than the british usage for a company making four-figure waxed-cotton parkas but who cares. excited for the s/s 16 line of my new post-workwear label UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE

*not union made

generally don't like quilted/bubble coats. That's a relatively refined looking one, but not crazy about it.

lol

xpost to unionmade
