awesome. no skinny ties?
did you find the vintage j press at thrifts? i miss that so much about RI. the best thrift stores. though the last time i tried savers it was realllly disappointing. but back when i lived there and had time to really look, i'd find scottish cashmere, 40's jackets, vintage YSL rive gauche, all sorts of stuff

plenty of skinny ties, it's all going up on the blog in time. i found 2 of the j press at a community thrift in n kingstown, and one at the boston archdiocese charity shop in plainville ma. i like savers a lot but they get picked over really fast and they can be overpriced but somedays are good, some are bad, that's how it goes

Are banded sleeves on casual golf shirts really necessary?

I get that you don't want to show the world your underarms, but is it that much of an epidemic?
Banded sleeves makes me feel like a

i mean good for those guys but lol @ their style/editorials

ha. i'm currently reading that article. most of the stuff is way too costume-y, but if they toned it down by like 500% and added SF dirt to the mix, that's kinda how i dress
― jaxon, Friday, 19 August 2011 02:43 (twelve years ago) link
i actually don't dress anything like those guys, but i think 'dirty urban prep' is a pretty good descriptor
― jaxon, Friday, 19 August 2011 02:58 (twelve years ago) link
well i feel like 'if they toned it down by x% and added some y than youll have described p much like every 'stylish' dude in urban north america so

you do have a point, mr pencil

i like SE, i respect the style tho they're definitely a overhyped at this point. i think their content is actually pretty well considered compared to a lot of other style blog bullshit.
also i know at this point it's hard to tell what's an actual real life street style shot and what's an editorial styled / staged to resemble such, regardless i think it's kinda silly to dismiss their editorial stuff as 'costumey' or ott because, well, isn't an editorial the appropriate format for costumey, ott looks?
not gonna defend brooklyn circus dude, tho, dude looks ridiculous and believe me it takes quite a LOT of look for me to say that

i really want someone to reconsider proportion and volume in menswear tbh i dont care how 'costume-y' their looks are i just think theyre tired. tailoring, prep, fabrics blah blah blah its all other ppls ideas yknow

yup i mean i hope the day is approaching when fashion dudes will stop thinking that showing off their ankles 94/7 is a dashing look

socks are back in
― jaxon, Friday, 19 August 2011 03:49 (twelve years ago) link
i don't even mean just the sockless thing, i mean like hemming pants with a deep break as opposed to cropping them at the ankle
― elmo argonaut, Friday, 19 August 2011 03:54 (twelve years ago) link
i like those dudes.
also like the brooklyn circus dude in that photo!

― elmo argonaut, Friday, 19 August 2011 16:55 (twelve years ago) link
really? its just camo? or you mean the cherry red + camo? i think he looks awesome tho.
haha hate to know what you'd think of the ridiculous things in my closet then.
― phil-two, Friday, 19 August 2011 17:07 (twelve years ago) link
honestly idk, it's hard for me to put my finger on what's buggin me, i think it's the mashup of newsboy / schoolboy / cowboy / soldier elements and then with the alligator watch band and the turquoise rings -- it's all too much in too many different directions imho
and you know, that would probably all be okay with me, if not for dudes super-serious demeanor! lighten up a little, u know?

what's good in 2017? looking for men's/androgynous-all-purpose content that avoids the omnipresent How To Dress Like A Gentleman adult-cosplay oppression which is so uncomplimentary to my tender cazh scruff soul

ogmor's post above keeps on popping into my head as being of continuing relevance and importance.
i never want to hear or see the word sprezzatura again. what are the options?

probably not what you want but I like http://dieworkwear.com/ for figuring out how to transition from just suits to a casual amalgamation of things. and I like http://putthison.com/.
those are both probably sprez-heavy site though.
also they only talk about really expensive clothes, but I just hope to find them in thrift stores or on ebay.
I guess I'm still in #menswear world, but I know it will pay off someday.
