ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

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.

it's still there!

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

sry off topic

surm you are v handsome and can wear your hair however you please

I'd just give the cashmere sweater a slightly too warm wash, it will shrink. I've never known anyone to get knitwear altered. Seems weird to me.

Um (1) you don't wash cashmere, and (2) while I've never done it, it seems fairly simple -- just cut a little bit of material out to taper it and sew it back together.

(2) while I've never done it, it seems fairly simple

mmm yes

Well what do you think tailors do?

I don't mean *I* could do it, but I don't see why taperingg a sweater would be much different than tapering a dress shirt. Both have side seams.

yes, yesss

You can wash some cashmere, fwiw. The reason you can't wash it generally is because it shrinks which was the point I was making. It might fit better.

u shd just wear it a lil slouchy imo

oh now we got googlers up itt whats next

To wit, If you google how to wash cashmere lots of people seem to think you can wash it easily and that it's preferable to dry cleaning it, which makes sense to me.

Since dry cleaning is wet too.

umm im no expert but it has dry right in the name

I know, right?

ok its settled then its dry

fuck washing a cash

I'd just give the cashmere sweater a slightly too warm wash, it will shrink

it will also lose all breathability and become horrible to wear

speaking solely from my personal experience here

idk yeah would much sooner just flip it than ever try boiling. never had one tailored

quite fond of tucking a sweater in myself, outfit depending. requires high mana though

just realized I brainfartishly suggested upthread that the sweater might have side seams, which seems very unlikely. So yeah, tailoring probably not easy to do if doable at all.

Heat and agitation is what makes animal fibers felt/full so just hand wash in cold or lukewarm water or wash on delicate cycle and then dry flat and you should be ok?

same

SAME. for my friend's engagement party i wore a tucked in red sweater with a collar underneath and a gold blazer.

really not sure ive ever seen someone tuck in the sweater

it always seems kinda fashion shoot-y to me but i also think i just fidget too much for that look to work the sweater never really ends up sitting flat enough against my body

Feel like you need a very thin sweater for that to work (and to be svelte). And every time I hear "thin sweater" I think "left em in the cold with a thin sweater"
