ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

That's better than my first thought, which was what if Lord Byron was in Oasis

i dont really wear graphic tees but thinking i cld get into the small pocket (area) graphic

https://i.imgur.com/eMufdVU.png

its kinda hard to shop for them specifically tho

alot of them have graphics on the back which is not what im looking for, also i dont want there to be an actual pocket, i wld consider wearing a plain pocket tee tho

feel like its associated with "surf style"

maybe if i look for surf tees

does anyone know a cool surf label

the other day i was thinking its weird that there are all these cool skate labels now but no one is really doing anything with surf brands. idk i guess were not really in a very surf-friendly moment rn. saturdays surf had some good graphic tees last time i looked but they are a little like, tasteful, i guess. i thrifted some old quicksilver stuff over the last year-ish or so and they have some cool stuff but theres a lot of ugly shit. also they have a bad looking logo

stussy

literally all of them have graphics on the back (same one but bigger) why does it have to be like this, i guess i cld just pretend like its not there

otm re the need for good surf tees for after wave riding

battenwear is kinda surfy

https://battenwear.com

<3 battenwear but they've gotten soooooo expensive

i had a nice shirt from them that i got in 2012 and when it died a couple of years ago i was very sad

lol aftering reading this i went and looked at saturday surf's website and saw this shirt which is a prime example of your complaint i guess. i do kinda like it tho. they also do have some w/o a back graphic but they are less cool to me than this one

ha yeah i just looked at that one

i like some of their stuff but i wish it didnt say new york city all over it

I never feel comfortable buying graphic tees because I feel like I'm out of the loop on the semiotics of them, and I'll be accidentally making myself out to be a part of some subculture I'm not actually attuned to. Plus I'm 39 years old.

kinda like this one https://www.saturdaysnyc.com/item/density-chest-t-shirt-white

I have also never pulled the trigger on a saturdays t-shirt for that reason -- it says new york city and that's corny

u cld just sharpie it out i guess

the brand mollusk is p nice, cheap and simple surf type tees.

saturdays do v good fun shirts imo but never bought any of their other stuff

https://mollusksurfshop.com/collections/mens-tees

i like some of these mollusk tee felt like i recognized them then realized their store is like 3 blocks from my sisters house

ah cool - i got one in london but like saturdays i assume they convert direct to sterling from dollars which kinda makes me avoid unless i am in the us.

holy cow i love the heather gray and black octopus tee very much

i came around on saturdays because i bought a couple of pairs of graphic canvas shoes from them circa like 2014 and just loved them. they were super reasonable (like $60 maybe?) and i literally wore them to pieces, good profile andd colors. it is also super likely i have posted about them on ils at some point

mollusk bicycle tee v cute to me

yeah those mollusk tees are the shit, i used to visit that shop when i lived in the bay but they didn't have such an extensive line back then

this one is my jam

Adsum tshirts maybe? They're kind of expensive but robust.

nylon hat is a pretty wild ebay search

two point in the christophe lemaire column

Have they only just started doing them in the US? The uniqlo u crew tees are so great, really well made and heavy/substantial feeling.

i need new pants and a style update and i work from home now and pretend to be a dj. am i right in thinking i should start wearing joggers and white sneakers instead of heritage jeans and such?

joggers prob the biggest current douche signifier no offense to anyone, similar cut w/o the cuff is somehow fine tho
