heheh i ordered like 5 of those for midsummer wear when j crew was having a sale
― max, Wednesday, 28 September 2011 22:53 (twelve years ago) link
theyre the new henley collar tees
i bought eight pocket front tees in different muted colors this spring, have been wearing them all summer
broke down and tried on a bunch of pocket front boo oxfords, they were super nice and flattering
also say a rag+bone (or maybe engineered garments) duffel coat v prominently displayed in the p cool boutique where i was shoppping @cake #falltrends

have been seeing a lot tees with contrast pockets, that's cool i guess
― elmo argonaut, Wednesday, 28 September 2011 23:07 (twelve years ago) link
i guess pocket tees confuse me a little, because the pocket is not practical at all and practicality is a value that pockets usually express in a garment?? idk.
― elmo argonaut, Wednesday, 28 September 2011 23:11 (twelve years ago) link
they are only practical if they have a protector
― dayo, Wednesday, 28 September 2011 23:15 (twelve years ago) link
but if pockets are gonna be a thing for a while we may as well reinvent the pocket protector while we're at it

we can use ~repurposed deadstock materials~ and have ~hand crafted quality~
we can make ~a million blog dollars~

i use my pocket for a lil notebook sometimes
but cmon its the fall fashion thread why are we talking about practicality
i suppose the practical purpose of the pocket tee is to add a lil bit of flair w/out having to put a huge skull tattoo print on the ass part
― max, Wednesday, 28 September 2011 23:41 (twelve years ago) link
fashion sucks imo

i keep my current gen white iphone in the front pocket of my pocket tees

pocket tees are great at covering up one giant nippleyou can use your messenger bag strap to shield the other one
― Art Arfons (La Lechera), Thursday, 29 September 2011 00:02 (twelve years ago) link
otherwise why have a pocket on the front of your tshirt is all i'm saying
tbrr i think man-boobs tend to prohibit the use and appreciation of tee pockets ;_;
― elmo argonaut, Thursday, 29 September 2011 13:05 (twelve years ago) link
i mean my manboobs are relatively small and pert but still there they are :\

^^ i collect these so it's not so much a fall staple as a year-round staple for me but i wanted to post my swag (not that kind of swag)
is there an "ebay / secondhand swag" thread on i love style? sort of a bragging thread for cheap scores?
― funk master friendly (moonship journey to baja), Friday, 30 September 2011 15:49 (twelve years ago) link

admittedly i am not in love with the persistent no-break / 2 in. cuff trend that is STILL going on but otherwise the lookbook is major fall fashion boners, for me anyway
― elmo argonaut, Friday, 30 September 2011 19:52 (twelve years ago) link
yeah roll the cuff down and that outfit is A+

all fair isle everything
<3 those but what would you ever wear them with
― corey, Thursday, 6 October 2011 14:21 (twelve years ago) link
NOOOOOOOOOOOO
shetland is better
― funk master friendly (moonship journey to baja), Thursday, 6 October 2011 14:52 (twelve years ago) link
you would wear them with straight leg pants so that they peek out
i think they would look good with like, olive green officer pants, a white shirt and a grey cable-knit cardigan. or like, very dark jeans and a big fuzzy sweater.
― funk master friendly (moonship journey to baja), Thursday, 6 October 2011 14:53 (twelve years ago) link
like fair isle can be very nice, but i think plain shetland will look better longer and doesn't scream *trend*
anyway that's my plan for the season, on the lookout for something like this that is lasting quality but is not egregious expensive (under $250?). i think i could go land's end or ll bean for under $100 but i'm not convinced that stuffs not made in sweatshops. would be great to find a vintage piece but wool doesn't do so good in california.
― funk master friendly (moonship journey to baja), Thursday, 6 October 2011 14:58 (twelve years ago) link
oops that's the hurling sweater not the shetland, but there's a shetland crewneck in the mix too
this might actually be my best option, though it is more than i can really spend right now: http://jpressonline.com/sweaters_shaggy_dog_detail.php?id=PLAINM727NAV

i think i might get a cap
― max, Thursday, 6 October 2011 15:07 (twelve years ago) link
what kind of cap
― elmo argonaut, Thursday, 6 October 2011 15:20 (twelve years ago) link
like a beanie or a ballcap?
― funk master friendly (moonship journey to baja), Thursday, 6 October 2011 15:24 (twelve years ago) link
will you wear the cap on top of the tophat or
― just sayin, Thursday, 6 October 2011 15:24 (twelve years ago) link
a ballcap
― max, Thursday, 6 October 2011 15:36 (twelve years ago) link
fair isle top hat
― elmo argonaut, Thursday, 6 October 2011 15:36 (twelve years ago) link
to be worn with my top hat yes
You guys are all so preppy. I approve.
― Virginia Plain, Thursday, 6 October 2011 15:45 (twelve years ago) link
The 2-in cuff is so jodhpur like, I dislike.
― Octavia Butler's gonna be piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiised (Laurel), Thursday, 6 October 2011 15:48 (twelve years ago) link
unrelated but i am concerned about the cuffs on that shaggy dogg sweater
is it okay to have cuffs on a sweater? is it cool? is it ugly? i ask because all of mine don't and i think all of my mom's do.
― funk master friendly (moonship journey to baja), Thursday, 6 October 2011 16:32 (twelve years ago) link
All my sweaters have cuffs because my arms are short and I push my sleeves up. Not sure what the official line is, but I think cuffs are a sign of quality b/c they show that slightly more material was used than absolutely bare-minimum necessary.
― Octavia Butler's gonna be piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiised (Laurel), Thursday, 6 October 2011 16:34 (twelve years ago) link
i have a gigantic head so i cannot wear most hats, i usually go for a chunky knit hat when absolutely needed but usually i go hatless and suffer
