ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

I think a lot of that patterned, prep-inspired stuff has got to be on its last legs

we're presumably also past peak chambray

actually funny you say that because I specifically noticed a lot of it on my subway ride from Queens today, and when I see a trend breaking out on my subway ride from Queens it's usually a good sign that it's on its last legs

chambray is still a nice fabric imo but yea i'm surprised to see it on the racks still after what like 7 years

my workplace is almost more casual than business casual these days and I really wear plain v-necks, decent jeans, and chukkas or sneakers 3/4 of the time

btw I am a savage

uh this is exactly what i wear most days (i keep a thin casual plaid shirt around just in case)

i would love to wear flip flops but they always blast the air con in here

i have contemplated wearing my plain rvca shorts (material lends itself to a little more formality) but i don't want to be that guy

p annoyed that Steven Alan did away with the filter by size function on its site. Makes shopping their sales p much impossible.

prada sneakers in the late 90s were imo the advance scouting party for the tech entrepreneur dress sneaker trend described here. they were terrible and dated the moment they came out. upward mobility for the wired set.

I think I may have posted up thread somewhere about an asshole
I met who was wearing prada sneakers

prada boots still ok afaik

What are some decent, reliable sources of plain, solid-colored t-shirts?

I have been buying shirts from Hanes.com but they are kind of garbage: too thick and a bulky cut. I have a couple of print tees that are more comfortable and flattering, but their shirts are sourced from companies that only seem to sell in quantities to shirt makers.

uniqlo makes a nice tee

calvin klein ones pretty good too imo

Have to say I really like the Gustin solid color tees.

reigning champ t-shirts are good

i got a pair of white spring courts and they are the white canvas shoes of my dreams

this jcrew slim garment dyed t-shirt is so nice https://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/polostees/slimshop/PRD~C2724/C2724.jsp

fabric is soft and the slim fit is a perfect size

it has a slightly worn-out look, which i just thought about and most of my casual wear is like that

seriously

$45 t-shirts, okay people

yea i have been buying the basic jcrew "broken-in" pocket tee for about 10 years now, i've had some other shirts over the years but i really love these as long as i can find a color a like in a given year https://www.jcrew.com/browse/single_product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524441760044&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302084418&nav_type=PRMNAV&bmUID=lqmYfT5

Gap sells a "lived in" tee very similar to that j crew, but priced @ $25, and I just wait for the very frequent 40% off sales and pick 'em up for $15. Fit and feel great.

yea the jcrew broken in one is usually only $25, you can find a sale for them at $17 or so

the jcrew garment dyed one is nice but $45 for a tshirt is too much for me

i'm about to buy like every single colour of the one i posted

not generally a fan of the jcrew style but i like these garment dyed tshirts

i have a pair of their macalister desert boots and they're pretty nice too

i sometimes buy from the gap too, but a lot of the times the fit is way off for me

though i have in my mind like "reasonable price" expectations for particular articles of clothing and i think they have not changed since i was a kid and i should propably update them

gap fit for hoodies and tshirts has always been off for me. button-downs and oxfords okay though, though i could ALWAYS go for shorter sleeve lengths. that's the case for me anywhere though

i honestly just go for the fit. if gap tshirts fit better and i found one i liked i would nab a bunch of them

please be sure to study this website before making any tshirt decisions http://www.threadbase.com/unravelled

I really like my j crew V-neck shirts, and they're p much always doing sales upon sales upon sales, so I think I got them for around $15 each.

xp

that's neat

i tried it and it recommended jcrew, everlane, and mack weldon (didn't know the last two)

if they added more styles that'd be great

i was just kidding although i do have an ongoing complaint about short t shirts so i have actually checked it unironically in the past

had never heard of it til now haha

Only just recently realized Century 21 sells online now. They're sort of a mixed bag but they can be great for certain kinds of thing, like dress shirts. Tempted to buy a couple of Dunhill shirts for $70 each.

Mack Weldon is always sponsoring podcasts I listen to.

jcrew t-shirts are fine, YMC tends to be better quality but more expensive so

and that's most of the t-shirts I own

so my roommate gave me three hermés dress shirts that don't fit him. i have no occasion to wear them though. ebay?

rich father-in-law apparently

that would do better on styleforum imo, but a bit more work to sell as you're expected to provide detailed measurements and handle paypal etc. by hand

hm ok. i'll probably hold onto them tbh.

i had never heard of them. is this their site? http://www.youmustcreate.com

because i couldn't find any t-shirts on there

o 'jersey'

they're london-based

makes sense

old ymc red-label basic tees were my go-tos but they fucked up the new ones. thinner cheaper material and vaguely swaggier looser/longer fit/cut. think ppl may have cottoned on as ebay prices seem to have risen since i was hoovering them up

read somewhere once that gildan g64000s were p decent classic fits but i never got round to finding out

l.l. bean t-shirts are really nice.

coles has a senior special on wednesday mornings

quite like this coat, in spite or because of its ron atkinson in east berlin vibe:

http://webshop.hankjobenhavn.com/eu/apparel/3360-fam-coat-grey-suede.html

those looks are cool as shit although I could never rock any of them. Also I predicted recently that the flattop was going to come in style.

yeah i prob couldn't rock them in full either, i think the coat would be fine tho.

thought this was p cool too: http://webshop.hankjobenhavn.com/eu/apparel/3357-pack-jacket-grey.html

i like the coat. the rest of that stuff not so much. i-went-to-berghain hangover.

true to form I raised my eyebrow at the sunglasses

tbf most of that stuff would be totally lost on u.s. places that aren't new york or l.a. it seems very euro-centric?

lost as in people wouldn't recognize it as a particular stripe of fashion?

feel that's prob true for many things
