yeah, this is a nice coat. Mine looks more different in person than you might think but I see the similarity. I think my co-worker has the uniqlo one and it's v nice, I initially thought it was a fancier/more expensive coat.

just got this parka: http://www.alphaindustries.com/mens-parkas/alpha-industries-slim-fit-n-3b-parka.htm

loved my bomber so much that i got a longer one with a furry hood

those are nice, super official heavy duty realness, love the navy / orange combination

yeah pretty good quality at a decent price. probably not as warm as a canada goose but more than enough for my needs

military style arctic parka is a mega classic design imo

maroon/orange there is speaking to me

tbh i was torn between navy, maroon, black with black fur, black with brown fur, and sage. ended up going with the classic sage though

I don't know if I've posted this before, but I've considered this:

Or if I'm really cold

feel like if youre gonna go w a super warm jacket u want it to be longer, like that one kinda only makes sense with sno pants

lol xp

new shoes

nice

If I wasn't way too big for it, I would be tempted to wear my grandfather's actual WW2 bomber jacket once or twice. The outer layer hasn't aged well but I tried it on once and it's super thick

ideal for co-piloting a poorly insulated aircraft thousands of feet over europe

i went jeansless for about a year and a half, it was good, would like to get back to that tbh

im not a fan of stretch jeans, feels unnatural to me in a pair of jeans

been sporting cords lately and this chick was like omg ive not seen anyone wear cords in forever

but im a jeans guy
just trying to spice it up a bit

man i used to wear cords all the time, those were the days

I've been moving into cords.
I got some burgundy needlecords last year. But my wife said 'they are a bit Tory', so I am too ashamed to wear them.
Now I've got some navy cords. I'm optimistic about this pair.
And I think I can move back into the red cords if I dress them down a bit.

I thought I was safe because jumbo cord is more tory than needlecord, but I was wrong, the red trouser problem prevailed.

i could use a new pair of cords

i just bought this woolrich shirt at sam's outdoor outfitters in brattleboro, VT, one of the best stores http://www.woolrich.com/woolrich/details/men-s-oxbow-bend-plaid-flannel-shirt/_/R-6111?skuId=728175479093

nice shirt

ya i only wear needlecords cos my dad used to wear jumbo cords when i was a kid so i associate jumbo cords with grandad-wear

i've mentioned this before but my friend had a pair of like double jumbo JNCO cords that i thought were the coolest pants i had ever seen when i was 14, he let me borrow them a few times. the cord lines were like half an inch thick

JNCO CORDUROYS

The width of the cord is commonly referred to as the size of the "wale" (i.e. the number of ridges per inch).[4] The lower the "wale" number, the thicker the width of the wale (e.g., 4-wale is much thicker than 11-wale). Corduroy’s wale count per inch can vary from 1.5 to 21, although the traditional standard falls somewhere between 10 and 12. Wide wale is more commonly used in trousers and furniture upholstery (primarily couches); medium, narrow, and fine wale fabrics are usually found in garments worn above the waist.

fine jnco couch cords

Wide wale is more commonly used in trousers and furniture upholstery (primarily couches)

there's the grandad connection

i like narrower cords as part of a stuffy wasp look with oxfords and big sweaters.

nothing like wearing yer favourite sofa pattern on yer trousers with 2 inch wales to that groovy party eh

dude you just described my look today

except im wearing black vans slip ons

xp to cad

wide wale is imo no good, medium to thin is the way

xp nice, it's a good look

i have seen some corduroy shirts w/ a medium-to-wide wale that are cool

ive seen it as part of an old librarian look, male or female, that i like

Xxp
Cheers

Nice weather for it

these are my preferred wale http://bergbergstore.com/clothing/trousers/corduroy-trousers-chocolate.html

those are nice. for pants i like a thin wale

btw i ordered a bunch of new levis today, good sales, most were like $40 and a pair of selvedge for about $70

IMO cords have to be straight leg or relaxed. Slim / tapered cords make you look uncomfortable.

I have some bright BRIGHT blue Levi's cords that are sooo comfortable

I also have two corduroy blazers because I am Wes Anderson

it's true, i googled up a picture of you once and thought "wow this is one wes anderson-looking information security motherfucker"

kind of guy to house a server in a vintage suitcase and whatnot

Bought two flannel woolrichy shirts at muji for $20 each

xp the most secure choice really

no cords but wearing a cardigan and suede birkenstock bostons. feeling very hygge today

i like these sweatshirts for forgotten baseball teams http://www.ebbets.com/category/city-series-crewneck

bostons have become my house slippers xp

should i feel bad for wearing them to work?

depends, do u have a job that requires yr shoes to have backs
