ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

Dylan posted yohji yamamoto stuff already unironically and it brought the thread to a standstill

People who have figured out how to live

infinity symbol brought it up first but i stand by understated late90s early 2000s Y's for Men that can be picked up cheap in koenji thrift stores, and some of what's on the secondary, tertiary cheaper lines that seem to increase exponentially (there's a kamen rider yohji ground y collab that keeps popping up on web ads) and are possibly unknown outside of japan but popular mostly with gothy mainland chinese teenagers.

love that kid's shoes. and how the sleeve of the blazer falls perfectly at his wrist, despite everything

Few weeks ago I was window shopping way out my price range and fell in love with Missoni tshirts. Even on sale / second hand they are out of my price range. Anyone know any cheaper, similarly beautiful alternatives?

what's do you like about them?

goodbye all your money

triple 5 soul lol 90s joke 90s humor remember the 90s

what's do you like about them?

1 thing abt wearing fitted jeans is u rly have to bend at the knees to get the big guy outta the zipper crotch area

I like Marmot best of the outdoorsy stuff, but it's 'spensive

How fitted r they

not very, basically same fit as the other brands i mentioned

they don't constrict my manhood afaict

are you sure that’s not a function of the smallness lf your manhood

That’s low bro

I think of it as one of the benefits, and there are several I'll have you know

Wait a minute you have more than one cock in there or u mean small ball sacks

I mean there are many positives to a diminutive male member. I'll list them in a poll soon.

cool tangent

theres been some rude talk on this thread and i just wanted to say that i hope you guys knock it off and shape up

Once a g∞n always a g∞n

I tried posting relevant content you see where that got me

hmph maybe i’m just bitter that my pants never fit rigjt on account of my massive equipment

goddammit can we not talk dicks on this thread

ok ok jeeeeeeeez fine i’ll stop

Tbf mine was a valid concern bc i was wearing fitted jeans today and every time i went to the urinal it was tough gettin the old boy out

Felt like an anaconda tbh but okay

half off if you're a toddler

2/3 of those guys are taking a whiz

shorts/long socks/NBs, it me!

is that jacket like a sweatshirt/jersey fabric or a poplin or what?

looks like a canvas

yeah it’s heavy twill

whoops my bad, it's cotton duck (horizontal weave) not cotton twill (diagonal weave)

but yes, it's enzyme washed canvas ... and look how crispy it looks up close

After a long period of working from home, I recently started a very corporate office job. (Not complaining - it was the right choice for my sanity and my family, so I am happy about it.)

But: what is UP with professional menswear these days? I see four main types:

1. Anything-goes casual: t-shirt with a sports team, brewery logo, or cartoon character. Shorts or jeans.

2. Tech-sector business casual: Polo-with-a-logo and khakis. Polo-with-a-logo and jeans on Friday.

3. Moderately hip status-conscious young professional: shirt of a dark, gemlike, or otherwise nonstandard color (plum, emerald). No tie. Twill pants, pop-color socks, expensive shoes with some pointless Piece of Flair like square toes.

4. Senior executive or sales person: Suits (or suit pants), not separates. Lots of grey and blue and pastels. Impeccable spread-collar and point-collar tailored shirts, often striped or checked (rarely solid). Expensive ties that are mostly striped or solid; occasional small-pattern foulards.

I don’t fit into any of these types. My default style is “absent-minded English professor,” which I almost was. Tweed jackets. Button-down dress shirts (white, blue, or blue-and-white striped). Chinos (tan, olive, navy, or grey).

So I guess I occupy a middle ground between 3 and 4. This is not coincidental, because professionally speaking I am positioned exactly between those guys.

Sidenote: I am somewhat surprised at the pattern-mixing going on! Dudes be wearing a striped or checked or plaid shirt, and then they slap on a striped or plaid or boldly patterned tie. WTF?

there's also a youthful variation on #2: jeans, untucked button-down shirts, and clean sneakers (or maybe those awful dress shoes with athletic soles). i haven't been able to bring myself to adopt that look on the rare occasions i go to the office even though it would align well with my wardrobe. polo shirts seem like they're mostly for squares/olds.

i've probably said this here before but my theory is that once jeans became acceptable every-day wear at my company (pretty conservative east-coast financial) all other standard went straight to hell.

Hmm. One of my many weirdnesses is that I generally don't find jeans comfortable or practical; to me they seem heavy and stiff. Also I rarely like suit fabric; trouserwise I dig middle-of-the-road cotton chinos. I am not afraid to rock the khaki Dad Pants. (Not Dockers, though. That is a bridge too far.)

2. Tech-sector business casual: Polo-with-a-logo and khakis. Polo-with-a-logo and jeans on Friday.

3. Moderately hip status-conscious young professional: shirt of a dark, gemlike, or otherwise nonstandard color (plum, emerald). No tie. Twill pants, pop-color socks, expensive shoes with some pointless Piece of Flair like square toes.

i meddle between these, and thats on days when im tryin
