ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

that look has been around for a while!

'around for a while' yeah, you could say that, or more precisely, in this ver thread circa january 2015 aka ground zero for gorpcore, beginning with this post where i embarrassingly refer to fleece as 'fuzzy sweaters' lol and then continuing to when joe buys a bunch of them online

feeling the colours & design of these patagonia fuzzy sweaters. my norm family from south carolina who were visisiting over xmas were all wearing them and i was like hmmm secretly scoping them out lol

I don't know about that, I've got mates who dress exclusively from REI and have done for years.

what are some good paisley shirts?

important question! I love paisley but it is a bitch to find decent paisley men's shirts. honestly the best source in my neck of the woods was a primarily Mexican "Western Wear" store in my neighborhood, cuz latino cowboys love that shit. and then they went out of business :(

xp

i didn't read the article so there might be something more to it but i and my family have been wearing fleece sweaters at least since i was a kid

i always associated that type of clothing with the cold outdoors, maybe because we're pretty outdoorsy

having friends who go camping or were in boy scouts doesn't rule out a trend in soho menswear. Maybe we should talk about our shower calendars again.

lol

you want a paisley shirt you get it from liberty iirc

Liberty is better for floral and arts and craft prints, their paisleys are a little bit weak IMO.

i bought the most bonkers paisley blanket in india will post a pic once i unpack

oh nice, shopping in india rules

were u there for work?

nah just vacay

nice!! i'd love to go someday and have more free time.

didn't think to look in western wear stores, will check some out

this seems like something that ought to exist and you guys would know about:

is there a good place to buy lots of nice socks on line for cheap?

Happy Socks, although I think I got my last lot through the iconic or asos or some such.

hm these seem expensive

uniqlo socks are reasonable

word of warning: uniqlo are one size and run a bit big on me (uk size 9)

I've been looking at this: https://www.americantrench.com/collections/socks/products/supima-cotton-dress-rib-socks

but haven't pulled the trigger

I do uniqlo all the time, but their socks are just a bit shorter than I'd like, and they shrink too much in the wash.

still on the pricey side, though a little cheaper than happy socks if you do the 7-pack.

uniqlo socks shrink BIGTIME

happy socks are the best, get them at Nordstrom Rack or Century 21 for like $5-6.

Uniqlo socks are also the best.

uniqlo socks are perfect and are my favorite for the first couple times I wear them

i have never noticed shrinkage tbh!

idk socks just seem too expensive

so cheap at the 'qlo

also i think they're the only underwear i like to buy anymore bcz they are inexpensive, comfortable, and durable, and CUTE on top of all of that!!!!

if I wash them a few times I run the risk of showing skin when I sit down, which is the worst look of all imo

How short are your trouser legs?

idk socks just seem too expensive

i cosign this

idk if you need actual dress socks, goldtoe makes a decent one, at least the last time I bought them

pants meet the shoes with either no break, half break, or full break.

with any of those, potential problems with uniqlo socks. need over the calf.

never more than full break though fyi

picked up zegna cashmere jacket today, along with made in italy rl polo suit, and a nice tie and polo shorts.

so I'm on the shorts train. wearing them now and really feeling nice

what is more than full break, like the sock somehow shows part of the foot the shoe covers through some sort of shoe-obscuring tech

i mean, i think uniqlo socks do feel a little thin, i'd like to buy better quality black socks at some stage but in as a budget option i think they're pretty good. I also sometimes eye the socks at muji but haven't bought them. I tend to be pretty rigidly monotheist with these sort of purchases, so t shirts and socks are all uniqlo, underpants are all m&s, etc.

Are you guys ready for this?

I get almost all my socks from Lands End.

Winter socks are a different story though

sorry full break just means how long the pants are... if they're long enough to sort of fully meet the shoe and kind of produce a deep wrinkle that's a full break. if they just meet the shoe exactly that's no break. half is... in between.

just saying that with anything in that spectrum, I need somewhat longish socks when I sit, because the hem of the pants rises up quite a bit. it's why I was looking at those over the calf socks. haven't bought them though.

lands end socks look pretty decent!
