ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

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

...grailed?

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

the lil whale is cute just my opinion

the article abt owning max is funny

what shade of pastel is this hat

its white

i bought some everlane stuff and returned it. it was nasty. like if h&m only sold stuff in white and grey.

Vineyard Vines is the most amazingly stupid name. Everlane is just one in a long line of brands claiming to solve some sort of clothing problem right?

Oh wait Untuckit is the most amazingly stupid name. But accurate?

Untuckit just kills me.

untuckit is so gross

it’s like a bootcut shirt

i never got over 'bombfell' I mean did that narrowly beat out 'housefire' in a focus group ?

bumfail

the lil whale is cute just my opinion

it really is!

also lol @ the max owns, everlane def feels like blogger clothes

bonobos more like oh no bos amirite

i feel like theres ilx posts circa 2010 with dan p freaking about bonobos shitty ads & looking back im kinda proud of these guys for sticking around long enough to make these pants and have them posted derisively to ilx
