ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

cute

i like those sunglasses.

Looking good!

I had a blue barracuta that I got pretty cheap at a vintage store in jersey. Loved it, wish I knew what happened to it.

or harrington or whatever you call it, same as the ones in the photos but a nice medium blue

harrington = style

baracuta = the brand that claims to have invented the style

they did invent it

the Harrington name came later and is an Americanism

I figured it got some interest as it's very similar to the MA-1 flight jackets that were popular in the US later

like it's the more sports casual version of a flight jacket

different collar, though

xp really? i think the look is very different from the ma-1.

yeah aside from the collar there are a lot of other differences

you sure you're thinking of the ma-1?

in any case I had an actual barracuta brand harrington. It's the best cut of jacket for me and I always look for jackets that cut/length.

good question! something was setting off my "grandpa wore this" sense with the jacket and he had a lot of flightwear stuff (did a lot of airplane work and was a WW2 co-pilot), so I was assuming that was the one I was thinking of

much more similar to the a-2 imo

that's wwii issue

the ma-1 is korea era

Ayo Tracer looking good! Love the spex in particular.

there are similarities between ma-1 (sometimes called a puffer jacket) and harrington but i think the "puffiness" (for lack of a better word) of the ma-1 gives it a very different silhouette.

can some1 recommend good quality white socks?

hate the gold toe

yeah i know it fucks up your white socks and birks look plax but it's so comfy

have i previously posted about birkenstocks???

just a bit of fun let's be cool :-)

i have actually grown to like birkenstocks a lot and i believe i have posted about my love for bostons in taupe suede

would love to go full rugged casual someday and pair some birkenstock arizonas with some fancy anonymous-ism mix socks but i don't have nice socks in my budget

i have pair of taupe suede bostons! i've posted many times about my love for birks

xp this is my standard way of wearing birks. Or black arizonas with black socks.

i wear mine with pastel socks. it looks bad/good.

it's a good look

both of them

a great outfit in that pic!

I don’t understand any of you people

maybe you don’t love style

btw tlg where'd you get those socks in the pic?

tlg that is you in that pic? love it man. wasn't sure if that was you or if you were just posting cool socks + birks style

great chamois

that is not me. i do dress like that sometimes, but i am not that skinny.

the socks are anonymous-ism 5 color mix socks that can be bought here, among other places

https://www.oipolloi.com/collections/anonymous-ism

also i could never wear jogger pants

I was thinking how much i liked them. i wonder what brand they are.

i have those socks in a different colour. they are my favourite socks.

based on the orange button fly i would guess kato

cheers, tlg.

that's just something i've seen on their workshirts

not sure if they actually do that on their pants

not kato

they sell socks that look like that at urban outfitters

xp s/s 2010

I liked Gold Toes back in the day when the navy cotton scrunchy sock was 100% cotton. Now it is a blend and it can get itchy after a long day.

damn gj finding those xp

I still feel like socks are the hardest thing to buy

h8 socks

ty ltg. amazing what an orange press-button can do. it can let the world know that you know what's going on!

Sweater-vests: where do we stand? I am a teacher, if that matters.

this is what I am thinking:
