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.

that account is so good

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

like running pants yoga pants maybe

I’m old. That looks incredibly stupid. Herd instinct offends me to no end.

its interesting which things that were cool become popular and lame imo

thanks for your input lag00n

my pleasure *bows deeply*

like years ago just a few years before every guido was wearing a shirt w a graphic that flirtily crawled over their shoulder or onto the sleeve or whatever i ran into this guy i knew on the street and he introduced me to his boyfriend who was wearing one of those shirts, he was all hey come check out my shop i just opened around the corner and i was like yeah ok (to myself whatever), the shop was opening ceremony

i don't actually want to get yoga pants / sweat pants i don't think but i'm bored with chinos and jeans and want to try something more adventurous and fashion-y i guess. i have muscular legs and could probably pull off something a little ridic and flamboyant but i don't know where to look.

xp haha!

adopt the world traveler look, get fucked up dreads

hahahaha it's a bridge too far for me i'm afraid

although "smooth" and "flowing" have a certain appeal

wait now i'm thinking that unleashing my inner hippie raver is a really good idea actually

occasionally when i lived in boulder id see someone who was so deep in that culture that they looked amazing
