I feel like when I next come into substantial disposable funds for Man Stuff I'm going to take a trip to Knot Standard and/or Suit Supply. Did I ever tell you guys I ran into Tim Gunn at suit supply? I was a total fanboy and shook his hand and told him he was an inspiration and shit, it was ridiculous. Pretty sure I was in levi's and a zip mock at the time

zip-neck sweaters are the worst

― on entre O.K. on sort K.O. (man alive), Wednesday, 20 January 2016 16:14 (ten years ago)

and ribbed sweaters. Often the two concepts are combined.

FWIW just ordered my first Ledbury sweater -- standard navy V-neck. It came down to $70 and I'm low on sweaters I can wear to work.

on the subject of worst-ever menswear, may i contribute "pique-knit polo"

― Van Der Beek's masterpiece (rip van wanko), Wednesday, 20 January 2016 16:27 (ten years ago)

word. Also, long-sleeve polos.

― on entre O.K. on sort K.O. (man alive), Wednesday, 20 January 2016 16:29 (ten years ago)

wow, haven't even seen one in a while

― Van Der Beek's masterpiece (rip van wanko), Wednesday, 20 January 2016 16:30 (ten years ago)

pique-knit polo aka a polo shirt is a totally normal standard garment

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 January 2016 16:42 (ten years ago)

Yes, I can confirm. Also zip necks are great, haters.

― If authoritarianism is Romania's ironing board, then (in orbit), Wednesday, 20 January 2016 16:44 (ten years ago)

xp i might be confused, i mean the kind of coarse material many polos (especially of the badged, promo giveaway ilk) are made of, thought that was called "pique"

― Van Der Beek's masterpiece (rip van wanko), Wednesday, 20 January 2016 16:46 (ten years ago)

yeah thats the normal polo shirt material

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 January 2016 16:49 (ten years ago)

regular smooth knit cotton is the normal material, the pique stuff is an abomination

― Van Der Beek's masterpiece (rip van wanko), Wednesday, 20 January 2016 16:51 (ten years ago)

you are not correct about this

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 January 2016 16:53 (ten years ago)

I may have the wrong name too, but you mean that extra smooth, golfy material that has a slight sheen to it right?

― on entre O.K. on sort K.O. (man alive), Wednesday, 20 January 2016 16:54 (ten years ago)

pique is the meshy one

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 January 2016 16:56 (ten years ago)

like they call it mesh on ralphlaruen.com

aka the original and still standard polo shirt material

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 January 2016 16:57 (ten years ago)

i will defer BUT ONLY OUTWARDLY

― Van Der Beek's masterpiece (rip van wanko), Wednesday, 20 January 2016 17:00 (ten years ago)

its a good material pique recommended

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 January 2016 17:02 (ten years ago)

i like to wear a WHITE PIQUE POLO with a one button jacket for a breezy summer look

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 January 2016 17:03 (ten years ago)

pique is def a standard polo material

― marcos, Wednesday, 20 January 2016 17:05 (ten years ago)

shiny golfer polos are fuckin terrible

― marcos, Wednesday, 20 January 2016 17:05 (ten years ago)

my 3 year old wears a long sleeve pique polo for his school uniform and it is adorable but he is 3 years old

― marcos, Wednesday, 20 January 2016 17:06 (ten years ago)

zip necks are garbage menswear

― marcos, Wednesday, 20 January 2016 17:06 (ten years ago)

man alive otm zip ribbed sweaters uulllllgghh

― marcos, Wednesday, 20 January 2016 17:06 (ten years ago)

i like a nice pique polo under an open collar oxford cloth shirt under a medium weight v-kneck sweater under a light sport jacket with another, heavier sweater tied around my waist, with loose-hung scarf around kneck as accent and a yellow ball cap #PoloByRalphLauren

― Van Der Beek's masterpiece (rip van wanko), Wednesday, 20 January 2016 17:07 (ten years ago)

long sleeve polos r kind of awesome feel like we r extremely close to the return of the polo sport raver aesthetic

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 January 2016 17:08 (ten years ago)

I was given a ligher-than-olive green long sleeved eddie bauer polo by my girlfriend's mom

― chinavision!, Wednesday, 20 January 2016 17:38 (ten years ago)

not pique knit

― chinavision!, Wednesday, 20 January 2016 17:38 (ten years ago)

idk how much of a difference their is but i have a couple of ralph lauren rugby shirts that i bought at thrift store that i think are pretty sharp and wear often. almost positive that i posted some pics of such itt

― -san (Lamp), Wednesday, 20 January 2016 17:41 (ten years ago)

ribbed zip-neck sweater is like "I am a total dick but once I had a girlfriend who was into taking me shopping and she upped my style game."

― on entre O.K. on sort K.O. (man alive), Wednesday, 20 January 2016 17:42 (ten years ago)

i can get with polo sport raver, might jump on that for 2016

― Mr. Snroombes (mattresslessness), Wednesday, 20 January 2016 17:44 (ten years ago)

"ribbed" as a descriptor in general grosses me out

― Mr. Snroombes (mattresslessness), Wednesday, 20 January 2016 17:45 (ten years ago)

Re zip neck sweaters, I think you guys are seriously underestimating the old-fashioned grandpa appeal.

Obvs these ppl are not grandpas (well not visibly) but their style is.

― If authoritarianism is Romania's ironing board, then (in orbit), Wednesday, 20 January 2016 18:24 (ten years ago)

idk grandpa style is a thick irish cardigan imo

something very conservative llbean dad about the zip neck

― marcos, Wednesday, 20 January 2016 18:28 (ten years ago)

proposed modification: it's cool to wear them outside but everyone just wears them to their office job.

― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 20 January 2016 18:28 (ten years ago)

guys tombot has years of living in the beltway to process and get through, let's take it step by step and treat him with compassion

― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 20 January 2016 18:36 (ten years ago)

no rugby shirts

― 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Wednesday, 20 January 2016 18:36 (ten years ago)

xp strong dislike on both of those

― on entre O.K. on sort K.O. (man alive), Wednesday, 20 January 2016 18:36 (ten years ago)

My grandpa wouldn't have been caught dead in a zipneck, fuck that.

― on entre O.K. on sort K.O. (man alive), Wednesday, 20 January 2016 18:37 (ten years ago)

zip neck always struck me as the unifform of the rookie high school teacher who's convinced he'll make every kid care about robert frost because goddamn it he does and he knows how to speak to them on their level

― nerd shit (Will M.), Wednesday, 20 January 2016 18:39 (ten years ago)

Second sweater itself is not bad, but would be much better with a regular crew neck.

― on entre O.K. on sort K.O. (man alive), Wednesday, 20 January 2016 18:39 (ten years ago)

no zips on sweaters ever

no shawl collars

― Cornelius Pardew (jim in glasgow), Wednesday, 20 January 2016 18:43 (ten years ago)

Yall crazy.

― If authoritarianism is Romania's ironing board, then (in orbit), Wednesday, 20 January 2016 18:45 (ten years ago)

also that thin scarf wrapped around the neck is def NOT grandpa

― on entre O.K. on sort K.O. (man alive), Wednesday, 20 January 2016 18:46 (ten years ago)

I apologize for not having an actual picture of my (now dead) grandpa wearing a wool zip neck sweater jeez.
