Giuseppe Zangara Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 White pants are never a good idea. Also, hoodies, I guess there's comfort and practicality to them, but I can't get it out of my head that it's the number-one piece of clothing for Hatebreed-listening mooks.
Cheech Tremendous Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 Cheech and I have similar footwear tastes. I actually wear Lugz instead of Timberlands, but no real brand preference. I just got a pair of decent Lugz from a Ross or something a few years back and liked the style of shoe enough to keep wearing them. I usually have these on: And these are pretty much exactly like the ones I got a long time ago that I still wear on occasion because they're really broken in and comfortable, although they don't look very good anymore. You might want to consider these for your next purchase: It's a cleaner, more traditional look than you might find with Lugz, but I'd guess that the wallabee style runs parallel to your tastes in footwear. They're made by Clarks. Solid brand.
Copper Feel Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 I buy mine from Topman, which is the British clothing shop for young indie twats. A lot of hoodies are pretty terrible though. I'll concede that.
Smartly Pretty Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 Hoodies are great for sleeping through first period. That's their function in my life.
TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 I've gotten into sweaters recently, myself. I have a few that have the 1/4 zipper so you can wear a button down underneath, then your cuffs stick out so I fold them over the sweater cuffs and push them up to my elbows. It's quite the fall/winter look. Especially when I have my leather jacket/scarf combo on over it. + = Quite a snazzy ensemble.
At Home Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 I'm amassing a collection of sweaters. Oakland decided to do away with winter all together, so instead of it being 45 right now, it's 75.
TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 That's awesome....12 months of flip-flop weather. I only get a quality 5-6.
PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 They're made by Clarks. Solid brand. Yeah Yo son we gotta take it and go get the Clarks man Yo, check it out, yo Yo, I got a new, wooooo!!!

Big Ol' Smitty Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 E-Mac, there's no such thing as too much argyle in my book. I just bought these shoes and I'm enjoying sporting them with my new grown up clothing. I'll be 26 soon, and I've decided to start dressing more like I'm 30 and less like I'm 20.
Obi Chris Kenobi Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 I still dress like I'm from the Grunge Era of music, I should probably grow up, clean up and buy some new clothes.
The Niggardly King Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 No hoodies but a zip up sweatshit and I'm great. I don't own any jackets, sweatshirts, etc. with a hood come to think of it.
Bruiser Chong Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Pick-ups for the week: Much-needed socks x Nike Air Force 1's 07 x Old Navy Flannel x Manifest "Boyz in the Hyundai" Tee x Levi's 501 STF. I wish the 501's didn't have such tapered leg openings, because I love the raw denim. I'm trying to move away from boot-cut jeans, though, unless I'm actually wearing boots or chunky shoes.
TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Do those jeans' label read 33X38? You must be a tall mother fucker.
Bruiser Chong Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 STF = shrink to fit. You're supposed size up an inch on the waist and three inches for the inseam. Even after the shrink, I'll need to get them hemmed a couple inches.
Bruiser Chong Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Jumping into this sweater conversation, I'm all for slimmer cut models. Great for layer. It's tough to mess up the collared shirt-sweater combo. I've got a couple cardigans in my arsenal. My favorite's not a traditional model, though. Thin cotton and paired with a hood.
godthedog Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 czech's sweater post with illustration is one of the best things i've ever seen on this board. funny motherfucker. i went kicking and screaming out of grubby band t-shirts into polo shirts (short and long sleeve), about 3 years ago. i made a new year's resolution that i would wear something "nice" on the days that i teach class. so now, 2 days a week i shave and get snazzed out in a dress shirt (complete with collar stays) and khakis or brown dress pants. but not too nice: no tie, and i always roll up the sleeves. this is a big deal for me, as i used to just come in a polo shirt and khakis or jeans. it's done wonders for my self-confidence. i can look people in the eye now, and i get compliments on how i look. i hate sweaters. no pockets, and your only option if you get a little hot is to take it off. where do you put your ipod when you're walking down the street??? in your pants pocket??? i got my wallet and my phone in those bitches, i can't have no more weight and volume there. i just use a light fleece jacket (actually the inner layer of another heavier jacket that i took out), which either goes well on its own in fallish weather, or can go under something else.
TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 I rocked the sweater/button down to the bar last night. Sexay.
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 this is a big deal for me, as i used to just come in a polo shirt and khakis or jeans. it's done wonders for my self-confidence. i can look people in the eye now, and i get compliments on how i look. Is this a joke? Not trying to be crass, but I figured as a guy as educated and accomplished as you seem to be that you wouldn't have issues with simple social issues like a lack of anxiety or being able to look someone in the eye.
Copper Feel Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Suffering from anxiety doesn't make someone unintelligent.
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Nowhere there did I say it did. The point is a guy that's teaching a university level lecture, considering all the work that he's put in to get there, would have the self-confidence in his accomplishments (so you'd think) required to not be nervous speaking in public. But it's a good thing he was joking!
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 It needs to warm up just a little so I can quit wearing shoes. Am I the only barefoot enthusiast here? Looks like most of you homos dress like Mr. Rogers. My winter wardrobe: Orange and gray raincoat, gray painter's jacket, jeans, sneakers. Standard t-shirts.
Red Baron Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 If I would I could. I hate wearing socks and when I'm at the house and even doing yard work, barefoot all the way.
Bruiser Chong Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 It needs to warm up/stop snowing so I can go back to wearing shoes. I'm too anal about the condition of my shoes to wear them during these Michigan winter months.
TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Here's me rocking the killer combo
TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 So here I am, sitting in an Abercrombie muscle T ($30), Hollister sweats ($40), and an American Eagle zip up hoodie ($50) realizing I have a) too many clothes, b) too many clothes from the same stores, and c) spend too much money. Well, the sweats and the hoodie were gifts but you get the idea.
Twisted Intestine Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 I'm sitting in my boxers and socks ($1) and my kick ass T-Shirt from BlueNotes ($5). Which is weird because I never shop in the mall but went into the store and found a T-Shirt I actually loved on for so cheap. Of course all the other shirts that I didn't like were like $20 each. That's some luck. Anyways, you get the idea. I have a weird taste in clothing and I'm cheap. ...I don't know if my boxers and socks were actually $1.
