ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

Why not simply get clothes that are already comfortable, without requiring an intermediate step to make them so?

my man, check out stone washed jeans

Yeah that’s what i meant by broken in jeans bruh

if you’re in the market for stone washed jeans strongly recommend you go with elastic waistband

nah, braided leather belt

love stonewashed jeans

i got a catalog from this seattle product manager wardrobe starter kit vendor in the post

https://huckberry.com/

the blurb says "founded in 2011 by two ski buddies in their san francisco apartments, huckberry is a 21st century men's retailer"

dates check out tbf

they aren't lying it's true

i have gotten that one. it has migrated quickly from the mailbox to the recycling bag.

lol i want these

I have a pair of vibrant like those

*vibrams

on a similar note, i’ve been considering a pair of glerups

I got a pair as a gift and I really like them around the house no joke.

then i remember it’s never going to be winter again at this latitude so

Ha right I live in LA and I wore them for the first time in six months this week

glerups or vibrams caek?

Glerups. The vibrams were a horribly formed joke

i thought maybe you were super hyped on the (three year old) vibram x hr giger collab

wha da f

sexy

i'm wearing my glerups right now btw 😎

i like that foot bikini

Finally superhero inspired menswear

Can anyone help with some black derby-type shoes recs?
Need some new shoes that can look cool at the office AND at the... anywhere else I go? Thinking about the 1461 Docs but something tells me not to do that. Maybe I'm too old or something. Or Docs have peaked again.

I never know which outrageous footwear innovations lagoon will embrace, or scoff at

tbf i dont really like those shoes but i like the idea of them, i want a sleeping bag shoe but those ones r too busy / dont really like the toe etc, basically i want a simplified vers of those thatre a slipper-sneaker m/l, like i have sneaker-boots i have sneakers i want the whole spectrum

slippers -> slipper-sneaker -> sneakers -> sneaker-boots -> hiking boots -> big boots

something like that and i have it all except the slipper-sneaker

there is conceivably another boot between sneaker-boot and hiking boot kinda a sneaker hiking boot if you will i think u know the ones i mean, i dont really care about those tho i dont think

i literally just got back form a hike in my sneaker boots that basically have vans soles tho fwiw, theyd prob get destroyed if i did too many hikes in them tho

tbh my hiking boots are more for fashion theyre old school, imo trail running shoes are the best for hiking, tho today i was hiking in snow so u want a boot, there are trail running boots too which i might want to look into since i generally do a lot of running in the winter and there are many trails where i am now

Do u feel yr footwear is an accurate representation of yr id

xxxp yes I visit a deals site that always has good deals on sneaker-boots, usually NB, sometimes Nike. they are ugly and yet... intriguing somehow. but it's moot point, I live in tx, don't need 'em

in my mind, one of the orange tevas is saying "wear us in the woods next time you go camping/hiking" and the other one says "but be careful not to get us wet, and don't step on any rocks!"

theres def some sort of resonance there

i went on a footwear spree last weekend, got a pair of navy jordan 1s from stadium goods and a pair of rugged casual boots at allen edmonds--100 bucks off during their annual sale. i'm going to rural france in december; what better excuse for new boots?

nice

don't normally rec/rep vice stuff but this is kinda lol

here's an example of weird ugly but kinda cool sneakerboots (at a nice discount!)

oops i mean here

The internet raw denim subculture is hilarious.

There is one pair of jeans made by naked and famous nicknames “the Monster” that cost over $500 and are 32 oz per square yard. (Most jeans are like 12-15). They stand up on their own. People call them the “Mount Everest” of jeans because they’re so hard to break in and post pictures of themselves like 1, 2 and 3 years in, after daily wear and barely any washes, commenters gathering around in awe of the “sick fades.”

The fades are pretty sick tbf but the jeans still look like they’re made of hard plastic and I’m sure it’s impossible to sit down.

FP’d

flagged for post of the year

now I just want some chucks made out of broken-in selvedge sleeping bags

that was the point of this thread from the beginning, wasn’t it

there is a whole universe of these raw denim fade-bois

out there raw dawgin some pants, its a lifestyle

Commando jeans

Ugh, want a Patagonia retro x, pref in cream or moss green but the insane markup on vintage ones atm I mean. Also paying so much for 100% polyester is ridiculous. What are the decent knockoffs???? Gotta be a lot of this right now given that every UCL undergrad I see is wearing one

I really don't get selvedge denim. It looks bad until it fades, and when it fades it looks like any other pre-faded jeans.
