ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

that sucks man

i wonder how many others they screwed over

i still have the trainers and I'll probably be able to ebay them for most of what i payed for them but, yeah, i'd be furious if i'd spent crazy dollars on their higher end stuff and couldn't return that.

"Sports Direct has a 25% stake in Four Marketing"

LOL!

"oki-ni was recently bought by its original founders, and as part of the Four Marketing group we now enter an exciting period of transition."

so many words

"Four Marketing is an agency that represents 30-plus brands including Stone Island, CP Co., Paul & Shark and Velvet by Graham & Spencer."

not quite so special are we

To be clear - ok I in had a system whereby you had to request a refund through their website and thy'd give you a return number. Sometimes that was automatic and other times not. In this instance there's website just a customer services email, which is how I contacted them.

I nearly sent an angry response but figured that "Kate" was having a significantly worse time with this than I was. I guess I'd think differently if I was returning something very expensive.

were they str8 fire beautiful kix ??

oki-ni was crap before this, ime. i bought a couple of things last year and they never arrived, the delivery note just listed my block, with 100 addresses etc, and the delivery company couldn't confirm any number it went to. they tried to hold out on me for a decent long time, it was bad.

one of the items was majorly reduced acne studios white jeans tho, so perhaps their incompetence saved me from looking like johnny borrell

i want a denim jacket

on one hand, fashion is cyclical and eats old things and tweaks them contextually to make sense in the current landscape

on the other hand, fuck no

that is a baller jacket.

funny i almost bought this

might have were it not for the appliqué logo on the back

re real jean jackets i think most type iii jackets are cut too slim and make me look worse than this poor guy

Yeah I like denim jackets but most of them are fucking tiny, not just slim but really short as well. I'm not rake thin and I tend to like a jacket that flows a bit more or is a bit more loose. ymmv obv.

I got one of engineered garments "dayton" shirt jacket things a few years back, in denim. It was about 180 pounds but the quality is amazing and improving with age. A lot of their stuff is a bit too workwear for me but I like it a lot. Can't find a pic. That's a v light summer denim jacket tho, not as thick as the classic ones.

never owned a denim jacket bc of prior lack of imagination but saw the error of my ways and have got half an eye out for something soft, loose and unboxy which I can roll up the sleeves on to raise my spring layer game. generally prefer a rich blue mid wash and think it's more versatile but am occasionally taken with a paler one like this jacket on this otherwise plainly dressed guy out of wu tiao ren https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C8kxXX9WAAY5mUJ.jpg

thought i wanted a villefranche jacket for ages but i think maybe i don't, want something rougher

i have become kind of obsessed with mélanchon's jacket steez

i was thinking about this one but ordering a few sizes up because i also don't want a tiny tight denim jacket

this being france OF COURSE his entire style has been analyzed:

I think I owned a Levi's denim jacket in every size from children's medium to adult medium during the mid 80s - early 90s

probably burned out my denim jacket receptors

i have a jacket kind of like this from lol topman from 2 years ago. unfortunately it now has hella ventilation in one of the armpits. gotta figure out how to patch that if i am gonna wear it this spring :/

i ordered that jacket in a few sizes to see what works

WILL REPORT BACK

re that levis denim jacket it was not good

fit was terrible. i tried on a bunch of sizes and it didnt matter they are all too short and the sleeves too tight

yeah the tiny jacket thing is big now, idk

to be fashionable you must wear no fewer than three layers at all time

That's why I've worn undershirts every day since 1999

girl we know

LOL

daaaamn

<3 clouds

missed you btw, did you take a break for a while?

hi marcos :D

yes i took an extended social media break to preserve my sanity

funny, the last $$ fashion item i bought was a denim jacket because for some reason i decided i really needed to get one this year (i haven't owned a denim jacket maybe ever) - it's apc, super bleached out so that it's almost white

Summer's round the corner. Finding it hard to stump up the enthusiasm to buy shorts and summer clothes in general

yea i need a new pair of shorts. ive had these same pair of patagonia canvas shorts for like 10 years and they are okay for a kind of hippie dippie dad style but idk i live in a city and want something a little more fresh. i did get some nice garment-dyed t-shirts that i like a lot for this summer

I'm trying to keep an eye out for decent t-shirts. As I said upthread, they can be tricky to get hold of if you want exactly the right kind of look and fit, and everyone has a preference on sleeve length and tightness etc. I generally like to wear an outer layer over a t-shirt, like a shirt or jacket, but when it's really warm this isn't an option, so it's even harder. It seems there's a big trend towards floral patterns and Hawaiian shirts at the moment, which I'm just not interested in

im p picky w my tshirts

and found the garment dyed pocket jcrew ones to be v nice

i bought a bunch with pockets and *not* the ones from their factory site (those have a weird cut/size to them) are the ones i prefer

p sure it was this one: https://www.jcrew.com/p/mens_category/polostees/shortsleeve/garmentdyed-tshirt/C2722

the tuscan olive one is the one that made me fall in love w these

my only issue is i have big shoulders and long arms, so they feel a little shorter, but this is a problem i have with almost every single tshirt and shirt

ha those were the garment-dyed ones i bought, i like the black ones a lot

i bought a bunch from that site and their factory site

the factory ones have some weird dodgy quality to them
