ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

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

Wife & kids like thredup but I don't think they do menswear.

poshmark

Thraed in which we post meaningless nonsense syllables at one another

I mean, someone could simply post "shmurple" right now and we would be like "Hmmm. I haven't heard of that site."

try adding ".com" to the end of them, you'll find you have the Universal Resource Locator, or web address, to an online clothing store, posted in response to a question posed recently in this tread

it's cold and wet in the West of England. I've got lots of jackets and a thin waterproof I use in summer but I need something warm I can wear out and about, preferably with a hood in case I don't have an umbrella. and preferably something that doesn't make me look like I'm about to go mountain hiking. is that a lot to ask?

slightly hikey but some of these are pretty good imo?

fwiw, my search for a reasonably priced, well-made, warm down parka that isn't quilted ended at Eddie Bauer -- got this one for $179. The Eddie Bauer logo is a little corny but it seems very solidly constructed and the fit and color are nice, and it's warm as fuck.

Also waterproof and the liner feels really nice.

What is ilmenswear consensus on Everlane? I bought a few items from them and had kind of a mixed bag experience. The $100 cashmere sweater, while supposedly a good deal for cashmere, wasn't really worth it, starting pilling after several wears. Would rather just get a really well made merino wool sweater at the same price. The hoodie is great, best hoodie I've owned. Pants are kind of flimsy. Shirt-jacket thingy is pretty nice.

i dont like everlane but i doubt i am "the everlane customer"

there were some everlane fans around, i bought a crewneck sweatshirt from them that didnt fit me i think i gave it to dan

weirdly, i have gotten multiple compliments on my everlane backpack. never found anything in their apparel that spoke to me.

can i just say i'm not patronizing a company called "madewell", like try harder please

lol recently had the exact same thought about "Best Made Co."

personal fav is the brand unionmade whos clothes are not union made

i didn't really like the couple of everlane tshirts i bought. kind of thin and not the best shape for me. thought they compared really poorly to pre-gildan american apparel. my one everlane sweatshirt has a really wide neck opening--there's always an awkward amount of a tshirt worn under it showing.

ugh hate that

there were some everlane fans around

as a brand name, 'everlane' somehow manages to sound waspier than 'vineyard vines'

i have a vinyard vines hat most ppl in colorado dont know what it is but those who do get mad at me
