ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

Jean jacket and tie
Feel like such a lie

i feel like maybe ppl just dont want to say sport coat cause it sounds super lame

just dawned on me that name prob originated when englishmen used to dress up in those brown suits to go hunting god bless

words do change

Yeah, p sure "pants" is plural because they used to be separate things, although most people now just have one garment that they call "pants."

The mental image of sports being played in sportcoats is still a little amusing to me, though. Like imagine the New England Patriots or Boston Red Sox, all trotting onto the field wearing matching herringbone tweed jackets with elbow patches.

its good i think they shd do it

xp

they're english mate they're more civil

tie w/jeans is fine with the right shirt/tie/jacket/sweater. the problem is no one knows understand how different fabrics, patterns, etc. affect the final look.

A lot of fashion advice that says something is "bad" is really just shorthand for saying "if you are reading this you are probably in the bottom 98% of men fashion-wise and hence you will fuck this up because it takes a lot of nuance and attention to detail to make it work, so just don't do it."

nice!

dont really need to be paired with a gingham shirt a northface fleece and some shoes

- goon

Wait this is considered “dressing up” jeans?

well its a standard work look, and its not jeans natural partner the famous tee

i mean that's a bad look b/c it's boring and normie more than anything else

well it is conventional but that doesnt say much about it beyond that

Jeans look good with heavier weight button downs, plaid or solid, like workwear kinda deal

Traditional khakis are such a weird color to be the staple that they are.

one mustent have their collar flapping around it simply wont do

Odd jacket: A lounge jacket that is not part of a suit. A sports coat is a type of odd jacket, but if the jacket does not have sporting features it is merely an “odd jacket” or a “jacket“.

Sports coat: A lounge jacket with sporting features—such as hacking pockets, bellows pockets, deep vents, a throat latch or pleated and belted backs—in a coarse cloth. Also called a sports jacket, a sport coat or a sport jacket. Americans will use any one of these terms to specify any odd jacket.

the things brits think are sports are funny

the things they think are sport

dont americans call car driving a sport

we all fuck that word up

traveling in a fried-out Crombie

My 19 year old USAF issue blue windbreaker still fits and is cool now

yeah i stick by "there are no rules in style" or w/e but omg please don't ever wear a suit with jeans you are right on this at the very least

how is it possible to wear a suit with jeans I'm confused

"do you see now what a suit with jeans is" --ezra klein

I’m just asking for a little more precision in the nomenclature here

its perfect actually

a picture of ezra klein is worth a thousand words

one thousand takes even

i just got a baracuta G9. i've come to think that (for fairly obvious reasons) the brits really figured out jackets in a way that no other cultures have.

nice! i’ve had mine for literally 10 years now. navy, goes with everything. considering a British racing green one but my god they’re even spendier now (since being acquired by wp lavori) than they were when i got mine

the other harrington jacket i covet is a grenfell

classic coat

yeah it wasn't cheap. i use travel to justify a lot of purchases like this, i'm doing 10 days in japan next month and want to bring one really kickass, versatile jacket. there was a brief sale on some lesser colors that i considered but i was set on black and found a decent price on END.

ooh i hadn't heard of grenfell, those are fantastic

I've heard of Grenfell, sadly.
