ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

Given the story I just assumed it was some flash brand that announced its ostentatiousness loudly every time it was taken out of a trouser pocket

yeah just get a cardholder with a space for notes. once you do this you'll wonder why you ever bothered with one of those bizarrely huge men's wallets.

a. cash rules b. if you have yr bills all folded up ur a cuck

sure cash does rule if you live in a country with the slowest POS terminals in the developed world, it's true

I just crumple up a bunch of bills and shove them in my pockets until there's no more room

me: that's $7.50
american cashier: that's $8:23
i give them $10
american cashier: here is a dollar bill and some literal trash

me: that's £7.50
british cashier: eh oop mate that's £7 paaahnd fifty
i touch my card and it beeps and i leave

^^^ bragging xp

also localgarda why did you even tell her who gave it to you

it was obvious from the brand of the wallet!

a. cash rules b. if you have yr bills all folded up ur a cuck

i fold my bills once with the fold of the wallet, they unfold as i unfold the wallet. we aren't post-cash yet though, i totally agree. cash is better for splitting bills with friends or for when i want to just leave a restaurant quickly after they've brought the bill - most restaurants end up leaving some slack at the point of payment, not the best ones but the rest, ime.

i'm sure i can think of other examples where cash is better too, if i try.

some literal trash

i hate to say but i have literally thrown pennies and nickels in the trash sometimes

quarters i always keep though

i have a big cloth sack full of coins under my bed. i moved house recently and i didn't even want to bring it but it felt crass to throw it away.

xxp

sux bruh

no way outta that one i guess

i hate using cash but i like going to hole in the wall places so i have to keep some handy sometimes but i always give them the change

my days of carrying a coin pouch are over

I kinda dig the Maison Margiela pouch but ugh John Galliano, no.

I like the Brunelis.

I mean the Berlutis

i have a velcro wallet

me: that's $7.50
american cashier: that's $8:23
i give them $10
american cashier: here is a dollar bill and some literal trash

me: that's £7.50
british cashier: eh oop mate that's £7 paaahnd fifty
i touch my card and it beeps and i leave

congratulations on being a cuck for the illuminati

stop saying cuck!

My spouse is an odd bird. Dude rolls out of the house in tailored Hugh and Crye shirts, perfectly tailored pants from either Epaulet or Sid Mashburn, Alden shoes, a gorgeous and cozy black Burberry trench (I borrow it sometimes even though it is too big on me). . . and a velcro wallet that cost less than a buck.

His running gear is in line with the velcro wallet. It is a strange mash-up of stuff from Kohl's, all of which he complains cost too much.

i wish to continue saying cuck

velcro wallet man is gonna be a cuck if he doesn't figure out this wallet prob

i'm with your husband q, i can be convinced to spend money on a lot of things but i have a 10 dollar cardholder/clip thing from the wilson's leather outlet. wallets are purely functional items to me.

yeah I guess running/work out clothes fall into the "purely functional" category.

Cuck you, lagoon!

yeah any nice running clothes i have are christmas gifts, if it's up to me i'm going to target and buying whatever is cheap.

as long as there's no chafing or retained bad smells no one cares

as with wallets, full grain leather and saddle soap are your friend

My favorite wallet was a velcro one that I got from Busch Gardens that said "I survived the Loch Ness Monster".

i'm in the wallet = functional team. my mum got me a fairly nice wallet for christmas one year and it fell apart after a few weeks. got another one from family bargains of all places and it's lasted me years...

HA, there was something about those bush garden velcro wallets. I had a red "roman rapids" one for years

i have a polo wallet i got on discount

meanwhile your gf is engaging in sexual congress with another man

all part of the wallet game mi amigo

i was at a staff meeting the other day, about 20-25 people present, and i looked around and noticed that every male in the room except one had a beard or some type of facial hair. in my workplace department as a whole only 3 men shave. i work in academia so i suppose the standards are different but we are a good 10 years into beards "coming back" and now they've basically reached ubiquity

apparently they've been on the way out for a while now, but i still wear a beard. seeing photos of me clean-shaven from a few years back looks weird. p sure i look better with than without.

the experience of shaving is bad

i'm one-grade all over and balding i need a beard or i look like an old baby

i agree. that's prob the main reason i have a beard, my facial hair is extremely thick and it would take me about 45 minutes to shave in a way that minimized irritation. way easier to just use hair clippers with a 1/8" guard every few weeks

i like the way they look too though

i shave my beard off fully every 7/8 weeks just to feel my face again and maybe moisturise it a bit. i also like the changing feeling of it growing back from zero.

Anyone on here wear/know about A Kind of Guise? They have some very lovely looking things, but alas no stockists in North America. A new(ish) line from German designers based in Munich (or Berlin?).

I'm thinking about ordering some stuff online from them as they have some nice sales of their winter line. Not many reviews or anything online, though.

https://akindofguise.com/

Would it be a bad idea to buy a pair of APC New Standard jeans 2 inches above my waist size and tailor in order to get a killer deal?

you could *whispers* wash them and they'll shrink to your waist size

sorry petit standard not new standard

check out this wallet guys https://i.imgur.com/oQQETf7.png

lol this is like the time I really wanted some slippers to wear around the house and after a couple drinks ordered some overpriced ones from a facebook ad because it seemed funny

once on their email list I found out they're really a lifestyle image company that only makes slippers. all kinds of images like that, little blurbs about restaurant trends and all this stuff.

every product is now a lifestyle brand

oh well, literally everything I wanted sold out in the SA 60% off sale sale before I could even check out.

sorry petit standard not new standard

have u tried them on or is this online, good chance they wont fit u even at that waist, theyre p skinny, also its prob a bad idea just to begin with getting them tailored wld totally fuck with the cut and the cut is a lot of what youre paying for

ha well there u go xp

guess i'm late but i would not try to tailor denim in the waist, it's also going to be a less-insane deal once you factor in the work.

ugh can we abolish the word "tactical" from fashion/style discussions

(that wallet ad)

agree, i only buy strategic wallets

am also an enjoyer of a kind of guise's product images and general sensibility but i've never had any of it to hand either

if it's the quality ur concerned about then for what little it's worth they are fairly well established now, been around a few years and have done collabos with adidas and stuff. the stuff looks good to me
