ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

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

tbf most of what unionmade sells is prob made under decent conditions...

Yeah I think Public School is probably meant to evoke a certain kind of casualness, childhood nostalgia, and maybe slight toughness? But it's also very much in line with lots of American stuff in the last ten years or so that uses a "cheap" sounding name for relatively high pricetag goods/services -- being too cool to unironically act rich, etc.

And yeah, public school in America = govt school, not what it is in UK.

the uk usage really annoys me. like calling a circle a square.

You do realize Trafalgar Square is what we call a traffic circle, right?

there's an actual square there though

and when brits say "nap" they mean wake up

sorry these are really dumb

some quilted bubble coats are better than others. there is definitely a shiny black bubble coat I've been seeing over the past few years that looks like a goddamned trash bag

yeah caek's "italiian tourist" comment is how i normally think of them, but i have seen some nice ones of late. like maybe not as shiny and not so much "puffa jackets".

in the 90s i remember a lot of girls had these huge full length puffa jackets, they were like sleeping bags - or yeah trash bags, i wonder have they made a comeback.

i would enjoy it if they did. my first gf had one, along with short hair and big fuck off cyberdog boots. tank girl vibes. she's now a chartered surveyor and could pass for my mum

haha - i was about to say yeah, those huge boots. i did a play around 1996 and all the girls in it dressed like this - i think they were copying all saints. props to arsene wenger for keeping the flame alive.

haha, finally my most shameful boner explained

all saints was def the high street wave but a comeback would also be p much par for the late 90s-early 00s avant fash revival course i suppose, much that's reminiscent, all the shit kanye bites

mnml > military > post-apocalyptic; urban architectural/surveillance; wearable tech = cybercouture; helmut lang, raf, chalayan, all the japanese, cp company, prada sport, final home, vexed, mandarina duck. did we say summat upthread about caarhart wearing superclub djs too?

final home literally did do a coat that turned into a sleeping bag or maybe tent iirc

lol i won that gf over by taking her to the pineal eye on broadwick street, anyone remember that place? (suzy probs)

the fashion school dropout

just need the fin haircuts, one strap diagonal backpacks, g-shocks, and twisted levis with massive turn ups back and we're good

damn i'm old tho

did we say summat upthread about caarhart wearing superclub djs too

this has been mentioned a lot i think. speaking of which i've seen a vague resurgence of bape too.

i guess a lot of 90s stuff has kinda crept back in - i mean some of the trainers are actually just reissues. let's hope acupuncture trainers don't return, at 17 i thought they were the coolest thing. seriously ugly.

however i do have a pair of these now so perhaps the virus is still alive:

xpost haha - the one strap backpacks for sure.

jamie vardy's kinda verging on the fin come to think of it

lovren not far off either

arghh yeah lol acupuncture. buffalos were the ones most girls wore i recall now

yeah there was an actual buffalo shop in dublin - they must have had a brief rise and fall

I passed the Buffalo shop the other day and was surprised that it's still there - now it just looks like a boring almost-tasteful shoe shop though.

i need to go through my closets! i have no room in my coat closet, yet no coats to wear ... the age old problem

Steven Alan has their "private sale" today where you get extra 30% off, or 40% off if you spend $500+. You may need a link via their email list or something, not sure. Anyway, if anyone is interested in that Spiewak Parka, you can now get it for under $300 if you buy it plus another cheap item (total $500 -40% off).

I just finally bought that wool/cashmere J Crew overcoat I wanted but the Crosby version instead of the Ludlow a size up (Ludlow was snug when I tried it on in store). Today's sale plus a discount gift-card bought through raise.com gave it to me for about $160. Not about to spend another $300 on a parka though, especially since I have a perfectly ok one from last winter.

does anyone have any experience w/ getting a cashmere sweater altered? i came across 2 nice ones hella cheap at a thrift store but they both fit a little too big.

Just wear tights under them.

bidding on these. SAS are so crazy comfortable, your feet never get tired in them. i've been wearing these (SAS Time-Out) for years, always finding a deal on ebay as new SAS are near $200. have had velcro models in the past but gonna try laces.

i want shoes like that very much i have for some time now

I am somewhat annoyed that they released and then immediately sold out of these while I wasn't looking

just take it to your regular tailor, they should def be able to help you

ppl say they like my hair long bcz it's like i'm ethnic so it looks "exotic" or something, you know like Penelope Cruz except a gay man and not nearly as cute

i dunno, i feel like shorter is more boyish who the fuck knows
