ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

jeans are a journey my friend

i tend to like one black/grey faded kind of pair but equally i like a none more black pair of jeans for outfits of all black.

xp i know i'm impatient. tough to go from the two pairs of faded black levis i had that were awesome but starting to rip and become floppy after a few years to these things which basically feel like rough twill work pants, not broken-in denim

tracer OTM

@ lagoon i remember you said you have a bunch of black 501s - do you buy just the standard black ones or do you do the raw shrink-to-fit?

i just get the regular ones, tho dont wear them much reacetly

I'm seeing Todd Terje in a big club next weekend and it struck me that as it's been so long since I went to a big club night, I have literally no clue what to wear. my winter wardrobe is made up of extrafine woollen sweaters which are great at keeping the cold out, especially when worn with a form fitting t-shirt (which I wouldn't wear on its own). so this is obviously a ridiculous question but.. what do you wear when you go dancing??

just a poncho

otm

last two nights I went out dancing I wore whatever I wore to the last day of the conference, and rolled up my sleeves

actually last 3 nights! jesus I'm fired

tbh big clubs are dark and you just wear whatever is comfortable because who cares what u look like

for real

unless you're there to have a cool look representing your true self. that's also a time-honors club look

wear whatever but if it's a big troubling question wear jeans and a t-shirt

von dutch cap, avirex jacket, k swiss creps, evisu jeans, bit of versace maybe, the usual

pink juventus away shirt s/o to drizzy nahmean

if it's good enough for napa it's good enough for terje at jongleurs basically

I generally spend almost nothing on clothes and dress like a clueless dad most days but I'm going to be away for work so much this year and feel like my slob tendencies have gotten worse since kid #2 arrived on the scene so yesterday I got fitted for a couple of proper shirts which was kind of exciting because I've, like, never gotten fitted for a shirt

stockbroker colin hunt is my favourite vetements fw17 look tbh

xp (or maybe not)

von dutch cap, avirex jacket, k swiss creps, evisu jeans, bit of versace maybe, the usual

how many of these things should i google?

a so solid crew video should suffice i imagine

dress like a clueless dad most days but I'm going to be away for work so much this year and feel like my slob tendencies have gotten worse since kid #2 arrived on the scene

yea i've started to embrace clueless dad slob as a look tbh, i've made it deliberate now and it feels like a good look for me

btw i am going to ditch these black 501s. i picked up some other levis and the problem w/ the 501s is that the denim feels very cheap, it wasn't that they are too black it's that denim sucks. for some reason the 505s i picked up seem like way higher quality denim and they are very black too but they are look much better

hmm yeah depending where you got them, the 501s might be the cheap levi's junk. they have some nice mid and upper end lines, but a bunch of the classic numbered styles are subject to the lowered standards of commodity staples

then there's whatever gets sold at target/wal-mart which (if levi's still does this) even has a slightly different label and are practically throw-away

i'm all sad because my five year old pair of nudies denim I liked is getting a hole in the groin :/

it's warm here today and I didn't do laundry so I'm wearing a t-shirt and black jeans lol

I remember when I started working in an office (doing IT for HR/sales stuff) and it was required to wear business casual, which was decent shoes, collared shirt, and khakis or their equivalent. Now, standards have relaxed and I'm working in a relatively internally-facing group for research IT and no one seems to care

yea i ordered them directly from levi's, but the difference in quality between the 501s and the 505s is drastic. the 501s definitely feel like super cheap throwaway denim

there is ostensibly a business casual dress code here, but it's pretty wide open. the director wears a suit and tie everyday, most everyone else wheres khakis and a dress shirt, some of us slobs just wear jeans

wears wheres

i can usually spell

if I'm going to spend all day toiling in the code mines I don't need to wear a suit

i'm all sad because my five year old pair of nudies denim I liked is getting a hole in the groin :/

uhh mend them

no u

take them to a professional mender at least

I will probably do something with them, let me vent

btw if u have a pair of jeans that are too long do u 1) get them hemmed or 2) cuff them

*looks down* I have cuffed them today sir

tbh that depends on the style of jeans and the style of the day, I think we're still in a "cuffing jeans is ok" style era but that may have changed in the last couple years

during the "erryone buying selvedge" times a few years back I saw even more cuffed jeans

yea i tend to cuff too

thought of you this morning, the gustin jeans my friend gifted to me because he screwed up the size when ordering were on top of a stack so i'm wearing super black jeans

haha

3. Return them / give them away

a limited-edition collection of iconic pieces pulled straight from our archives

Haha testing people's reception of 80s memorabilia

those look like normal 2017 clothes though lol

90s xp

it's a shirt, but bigger

Was thinking big pink shirts and pleated trousers from saved by the bell

I always thought of it as an 80s show but it actually started in 89 so there you go

yeah it was early 90s all the way

I that late 80s/early 90s era got brushed away as transitional because many styles and attitudes didn't cleanly map to new things that have been ascendent since then
