ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

yeah that's a sweet haul though I share elmo's suspicion of the chillwavey jeans

theyre so luscious im just gonna luxuriate in them shits

haha nah it's cool, i just don't think i'll be climbing into any dad jeans soon

feel like dad jeans are more abt the cut, tho obvs the color factors in too

i love the truly insane things in barney's warehouse like this coat.

yeah they carry a p funny mix of stuff

it's kind of sad to see things like that coat consigned to an outlet, like, i'm sure its designer was so proud of it

ok wtf is that

that shit is glorious

txt file in his dropbox is what i heard some loser does

its really the perfect look xp

i kind of have an irrational thing against slim fit shirts, shit is gauche imo. proper tucking will sort most things fine

that's what i tell myself when i attempt to cram in this xl ralph lauren forest green corduroy button down i rly like anyway

a shirt thats just like vaguely the same size as ones torso i think is what most people are going for

unflattering photos but u get the drift

tailor can also have shirts darted if u really insist

idk i tend to buy 90% second-hand so maybe i'm just less demanding / go for a more classic silhouette

obvs weve gone pretty far toward things being super tight and fitted and im sure things will swing back the other way, like steven alan is selling 'tradiational fit suits' as we speak, but i think generally just having something that is m/l the right shape reguardless of whether its tight or loose is not too much to ask, i mean the thing abt the military tuck is its designed for a uniform which by definition is not tailored

is "every shirt that I've got based on neck size has been voluminous everywhere else" rly a common complaint then

ya

its getting better but for a while there my lord

military tuck is fine if you're wearing a jacket and not taking it off--was fine at my wedding.

but in a biz cazh environment where your jacket comes off that pooling in the back still sucks. it's the voluminous mall shirt fit designed for large americans.

business casual prob just best to wear cutoffs and a half tank

sad but true ;_;

yr office mates will be all who is that dynamic individual

Jeff--just do Trunk Club, like all the other tech dudes in our fair city. I have a few friends who have gone from hack-a-thon t-shirts to looking sharp.

I've considered it, but so expensive.

obvs weve gone pretty far toward things being super tight and fitted and im sure things will swing back the other way

reading the military tuck how-to where theyre like 'obviously everyone understands that you should get well-tailored shirts that fit your body' was sort of lol since i feel like the thing rn is too have oversized, boxy tops that hang loose around the torso although obv if you work at like a law firm or w/e you arent showing up at work with an 80s ralph lauren pastel dress shirt two sizes too big hanging untucked but yknow

all the boutiquey scandinavian shit i see these days feels and fits about a size too big

i've def fallen into the oversize, baggy top and skinny bottoms thing without entirely intending to, i remember two or three summers ago i bought a bunch of ugly 90s boxy, pleated shorts from thrift shops and everyone made fun of me, even tho it was kind of a 'look' i never felt super comfortable with it but i dont mind with dress shirts or sweaters and particularly t-shirts. obv theres a comfort level there, esp in the summer, but i think its interesting how odd i thought i looked in the sort of shorts that would've been entirely unobjectionable in the 90s

It's amazing how much my confidence level shoots up when I have a nice fitting shirt. Like at least 47%.

yes

haha lamp's pleated shorts post is totally me this summer. i'm really enjoying it tho, feels baller to break from skinny orthodoxy

i actually also picked up a pair of pleated chinos (that basically look like hammer pants) which i meant to roll up to the ankle to wear out but i kept chickening out in the end

i hate baggy top and skinny bottoms though so

xp do it while it's seasonally valid. i bought cropped pants from uniqlo this year and they were great.

feel like baggy top and skinny bottoms has been an option for a long time but its kinda more an advance move

the thing w like a shirt that fits good and flat front pants that fits good is it represents an improvement in the baseline understanding of how to be, obvs if yuore a cool dude you can do whatever you want

Yesterday I asked a guy who came into my work where he got his denim jacket from because I really liked it - it was kinda loose and boxy in shape and looked really good on him. It was a jacket from the ladies section of Lands End. So now I am currently having an internal debate about how threatened my masculinity would feel buying a woman's coat, and if I were to, what size it would need to be to fit me.

yea or nay?

Is the detail dragonflies? It's pretty, uh, "FUN" and I'd feel weird wearing it down the pub but with the right attitude I'd say it's pullable-offable. Not sure jeans are the right choice to accompany it though.

is there a bigger pic where i can see the pattern? i wish it had fewer buttons and would also be curious where you'd see yrself wearing it.

From here:

ah, thanks.

its an interesting pattern if you feel you can pull it of. i do think it buttons too high.

Yeah four buttons is a bit weird actually, not tried it IRL. I think I could wear it casually enough really.

My friends are open minded

after hating turtlenecks my entire life…. it’s time

It is NEVER time for turtlenecks, rock that below the neck V!

well i do that too

hey all, would anyone object to a part II to this thread? 10k posts feels like the right time.

Sounds good!

No objections here...

good idea

It is NEVER time for turtlenecks, rock that below the neck V!

Sometimes my wife and I have this conversation like, "do you want Chinese food" and the answer is like, "no, we had Chinese food last night" and then somebody is like, "you know Chinese people eat Chinese food every day."

I wonder how turtles feel about turtlenecks. Like, "dude I wear a turtleneck literally all the time."
