ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

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

gotta get my party circuit pants

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

bonobos is garbage

i don't like bonobos

i gave them an honest chance when i went to their store on la brea (la) and it just wasn't my thing

i went to the bonobos store on 5th ave (right next to the untucked shirt store!) b/c i desperately needed pants and they told me i couldn't actually buy any pants there, i would have to order them and then pick them up later--"this is a showroom." fuck a showroom for pants.

the weirdest thing about untuckit to me is that lots of shirts look fine untucked. it's not a really rare attribute of a shirt

xp

that's there model, right? you just go and try it on and they order everything and have it delivered to you

I mean I have just found the quality of Bonobos products to be really bad for the money. There was a point at which they had my favorite polo shirt but then more recently I ordered some and they had clearly changed -- collars baconed after one wash (cold, hang dry) and never returned to normal. Their dress shirts feel rough and don't hang well on me, even the higher end ones (I bought one once on clearance). The pants are actually mostly fine, better than everlane, and I have gotten work pants from them a couple times.

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

There once was a man from Untuckit...

as far as dumb ex fratboy type brands go i got some "outlier" "futureworks" pants and they are good

Bonobos trousers — on sale — are a good deal. Nice colors, good fit. Haven’t tried their expensive shirts.

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."

Admittedly I blame Amazon for some of the more outrageous ones, like Qpladlse, Eomenie, Arinla, Quartly, Femaroly, Ladninag, Mansy, Romacci, Fumic, Sellse, YESNO, Floerns, AUSILY, etc.

I randomly started getting Marine Layer catalogs, another one where the name (and styles) feel a bit auto-generated.

xp. wow these are real?!

i am incredulous

Literally go on Amazon and search for any one of those.
