ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

I actually really like the idea of getting one really good pair of jeans, maybe expensive. But I worry that at the rate I would wear them (maybe once or twice a month?) it would take something like 20 years for them to break in.

We r all gonna fade 1 day

i got some levi's 511 "rigid dragon" which is apparently raw but "sanforized." they're really dark, barely even blue, i love them. that's how i started googling raw denim and getting into this rabbit hole.

by the by, check this selvedge kimono

Aw I was really hoping for a proper full length kimono. Possibly to be dismayed by.

I really like that, its a much more like hanten than a kimono though. I've been looking for a hanten style jacket as I think they look really good.

most raw denim is gonna be sanforized! unsanforized is for people far more intense than me, those are the ones you have to buy big and then soak and wear soaked for a day so they shrink to fit, too much commitment for me

But I worry that at the rate I would wear them (maybe once or twice a month?) it would take something like 20 years for them to break in.

maybe, but once they start to break in they're gonna feel soooo good for the rest of yr life

Can't find a mirror to get a regular ass photo so enjoy this image of me pointing my camera at the floor to see color of jeans here

We dont wanna c yr ass dawg

if that's my ass, then my feet are supremely fucked up

also said i was gonna get the color of the jeans for man alive upthread so idk can you kiss my ass without seeing it? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wut crawled up yr ass

oh i thought you were just being an asshole but you were referencing my use of the word "ass" in my message

sorry for snapping infinity that was actually a p funny joke i just didn't get

No problem m8

would like to see the fit on those Big Johns from the rear though.

I'm wear Unbranded 21oz red weft jeans right now in the natural tapered fit. It's kind of an early '90s fit with too much material in the butt and thigh and a medium taper. They're a more affordable offshoot of Naked and Famous if anyone wants to try thick denim.

man i havent fd w raw denim in years, u know what jeans i had a while ago that i really liked were these hank jobenhavn tapered united

its nice being able to wash yr jeans lol

i realise this ^ is like 2 steps from Fedora Guy but man the way he wears that suit mmm-HMMM

are big pants back? NOT READY

my bod is ready, my mind is not

big pants been back for awhile man! in london last year it seemed your were nothing, worse than scum, if you were a woman who didn't own a pair of black wide-legged capris

the pants are fine if you're going for a trad thing. it's hard to tell from that angle if the jacket could be shaped a little more, but my guess is it's too boxy.

Whether they’re back or not, one thing i will say about big pants is that i always preferred slightly baggier pants, as opposed to the tight ones so many people wear. many brands seem to only offer this fit though

I could never even fit my calves into any of them

ya i cld never wear skinny jeans i have huge legs and ass thats why i like taper its kinda like skinny but for a huge legs and ass lifestyle

big ankle pants been coming back steadily for years, maybe a couple years til the peak in my estimation

i dont think theyll be ubiquitous any time soon, more of a novelty

fell the greater trend is more just toward normal size/type pants for men at least

a 501 style jean if u will and so forth

an more 80s than 90s silhouette

I just bought some workout pants at Costco and they’re in that slim jogger pant style and they look fucking hilarious on my big ass legs. Fine for the gym I guess.

I recently sold a haul of jeans to Buffalo Exchange and accidentally included my favorite jeans, a pair of 501s that were absolutely perfectly norm/dadcore to the last detail. i'm sick. i have looked around trying to replace them to no avail

big ankle pants have to be shaped so perfectly up the leg to actually look good; i doubt they hit the mainstream for that reason

dang wanko that sucks man bummer

the wash! it was a light blue acid wash, real subtle, conservative o.g. 90s not the garish/kitschy a.w. u see today, and I can't find them anywhere! not even on the site.

Martine rose ss13 is the origin of the contemporary drift to wide legged trousers. She is now menswear consultant at Balenciaga. I could draw a flowchart

Is it just me or have down parkas gone way up in price? A year ago I remember feeling like "damn, I can't find a nice one for less than $250." Now it seems like the price point is $400.

I recently bought one off Lands End with a 50% off code for $150, but it turns out the fit is huge and I'm probably returning it.

same re: Land's End, I bought a rainproof coat at deep discount and I could use it as a car cover

Considering exchanging for a small and I have never worn ANYTHING in a small. But the shoulders were too big and the sleeves were too long, so it could work.

what's the best place to buy decent labels second-hand, online? i think i've seen a place mentioned a few time here that's not poshmark or tradesy or anything else i'm familiar with, but can't find it

ebay

i’m assuming you’re thinking of something else but i swear by ebay + patience

depending on what your definition of “decent label” is maybe you’re thinking of grailed? i don’t
really like that site personally but know people that swear by it

talking about grailed?

yeah, not to hate on it or anything but not my thing

sorry, it was an xpost.

ive only sold a few things on it that would have sold for nothing here but went for a decent price on there and it took forever with i think everyone just waiting for price drops, easier to pick up most stuff offline.

yes grailed was what I was trying to remember
