ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

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

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.

have these made it here yet

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

lol i have outlier jeans and a weird rain jacket thing from them and theyre both fantastic. tbh i like a bunch of their "Experiments" as i also love cowl necks and clothes made out of nanites or helicopter sheeting or living silk but they are often sold out when i think about getting them which tbh isnt all that often

feel like "ex-fratboy" is slotting the brand into the wrong sociological framework tho

$100 basic t-shirt, idk that just bugs me. I'm sure it's a great fucking t-shirt

just looking at their website and their chino pants on the homepage look v good and in general stuff looks more like nerdy yuppie that cares about clothes than fratty

well like a techy fratboy. or a prolific reddit poster who bathes.

i think outlier (and other post-workwear non-luxury brands) are kind of interesting partly because their customers are sort of undefined but they have this unifying aesthetic nonetheless. like "guys with non-media jobs that live in cities"? but i like their focus on process and material, i like that they are trying to engage with technology in a way that isnt just like, "this is sweater but also an app" or w/e. fwiw i spent the morning e-mailing back & forth w/a store seeing if they could get me this thermal storage hooded so

I've been feeling this urge lately to buy some vintage Body Glove shirts, although they may just not suit me at all.

I think this is v beautiful for example

nice

what is this brand Superdry? i see it mostly online. basic stuff, reminding me of American Apparel. it looks okay but is always really cheap which makes me wary.

nice too have some cheap pieces imho

crap cheap nonsense popular british clothing brand
