ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

Or I mean some variation of. There are a lot of arguments about vintage vs new vs idk I don't go that far down the rabbit hole. Apparently the Brooks Bros Advantage Chinos are a good substitute and actually stay creased looking? Which I believe bc I know someone with a no-iron BB women's shirt and DAMN if that thing doesn't look PERFECT after being machine washed and dried--like it was brand new and starched.

BB non-iron men's dress shirts are my go-to for any conservative work situation. They look amazing out of the machine and last a lot of wears.

i can confirm, no pressing needed, not exactly hip though.

white-tee dude reminds me that Costco has some I think new Kirkland brand white tees that are surprisingly high quality and non-huge, in fact the M was a little snug on me although I normally wear M.

oh kirkland signature t-shirts in medium are the shiiiiiiiitttt

I've been wearing them for years, back as far as when they had tags, and just got a dozen new ones to replace some that were finally wearing out and they're even better than the better ones from before

I love Chubbies shorts

but the mfers routinely go for $40+ used on ebay! D:

If anyone is looking for dress shoes, the Bonobos website has a pretty good deal on a few Grenson models right now -- under $200 with the extra 40% off:

The kid broke my Ray Ban new wayfarers. Would maybe like to try a different brand -- any suggestions? Preferably in same price range or lower.

all the brands are made by the same company. just get yourself some ^

The fact that they are all made by Luxotica does not mean they are all literally of the same quality, like it's just one factory where they stamp different names on the same glasses. My Ray Bans lasted me about five years and took a real beating before they were finally snapped.

my advice stands! mid-range sunglasses are not worth it imo, go drugstore low-end or boutique/vintage high-end (in which case do not give them a beating)

I got some 10 dollar glasses from Amazon.

actually have been kind of curious about the Kirkland signature wayfarers from Costco, maybe will buy a pair.

etnia barcelona--not made by luxotica, v. cool.

Oliver Spencer sunglasses are quite nice.

i buy my glove box sunglasses from asos

I've gone both routes of cheap glasses vs. premium sunglasses, and I lose them all so I decided to go with decent looking cheap ones. The frames don't have the heft that a nice pair of glasses would have, but they are good enough. And easily replaceable.

i subscribe to tracer's view: there is no place for a $30 pen. you either get a box of biros or a mont blanc.

biggest difference I noticed with the Ray Bans (other than just they looked very nice) was that with cheap pairs I always found that the alignment would get skewed after a while and they'd sit funny, but it never happened with these.

i was gifted ray ban wayfarers a million years ago and im indifferent towards them

ive tried to be careless with them so they can break and id be forced to buy new ones but those things are hard as fuck

weird thing is i cant be bothered to shop for something else

if i had to look for sunglasses id probably look for something that feels right, simple design and with really good uv ray protection

dont care about designer brand/unique boutique bullshit or cost really (im guessing this puts me at mid-range rayban-like stuff tho)

these sandals are p dope imo

these look cool: http://www.speedousa.com/men/mens-swimwear/mens-competition-swimwear/poly-mesh-square-legs-training-suit/style-705970

i have a black pair and its good for doing laps

if you have bigger quads they can be a little uncomfortable so watch out for that

aha, duh i don't know why i didn't check the actual speedo store

it looks like the 'valmilton aquashort' is the designated fun speedo. i have ordered one in blue with turquoise trim.

thanks!!

I got a couple new madras (not too loud) shirts with roll tabs
roll tabs are the shit

xp dispute that. been haunted by a vision sat across me on a train earlier this week of this big pasty white graphic designer lookin brit seaside lobster eczema bloke who had unfortunately mistaken himself for ian connor in yeezy s3. i'm talkin: blonde timotei hair in miserly pinched mini topknot, mid-chunky tortoiseshell frames, inside-out 'deconstructed' neutral khaki green sweatshirt, over simultaneously tight and saggy stonewash jeans with huge fake knee slashes revealing pallid cadaverous skin, stuffed into beige faux-suede moon boots (on a warm day), with a beige faux suede backpack. (slightly mistmatched beige tones - perhaps he thought this sprezzatura idk). iphone in hand hilariously typical despite everyone next to him also having one. initially my inner internet chimp wanted to covertly snap a pic to like totally roast him for bricking the fit etc but then the loneliness of all our lives got to me. hope he's okay anyway poor bastard
