>>18699724sorry lil bro but you're about 10 years too late to do this. yahoo auctions a bit less so, but mercari especially is absolutely flooded with fakes these days. take wacko maria aloha's as a basic example. if you look at the bottom priced listings those are all fake. no one is selling deadstock aloha's that came out last season and retail for $300 for $50. most of them will just use stock product photos but fake sellers have gotten discerning enough these days that they steal photos of genuine product from old listings of real people and re-use those for their fake listings. but regardless of the photo; you buy one of those $50 wacko maria aloha's you will be sent a made in china fake. except it gets so much worse. all of the top priced listings are fake as well. again, these shirts retail for around $300, even the super sought after ones from earlier seasons only really go for like $600 at the absolute most. but fake sellers put fake listings up at retarded prices like $2,000 in the hope that someone will bite. again i guarantee you if you buy a wacko maria aloha shirt for over $1,000 you will be sent a fake. so at this point you may think, "okay fake sellers are listing at absurdly low prices for the broke boys who know they're buying a fake and don't care", "and at the highest prices way above normal to try and scam rich retards". "i'm sure if i just stick to slightly above or below retail i'll probably be buying from actual real people". nope. sorry. wrong. the middle is completely filled with fakes as well. fake sellers have cornered the market they are scamming at every single price point. mercari is doing nothing and actual japanese people are furious. they barely even use mercari anymore and have gone back to just buying shit inrl because the site is so flooded with chinese fakes.
>>18699765they used to be limited to only the lowest prices and it was easy to ignore them. they used to use dog shit photos of the actual fake product where you could clearly tell it wasn't genuine. they used to have whack ass accounts with thousands of listings where it was obvious it wasn't a real person. but since covid they've gone into overdrive. they use hacked old accounts with actual feedback that look like real legit people. they use genuine old photos from previous listings. they price way too low, they price way too high, they price perfectly on the dot. you think you're dodging a fake with an alternative listing that seems more legit but you're just running into another of their fake listings where they've tweaked the prices and photos. you cannot identify them anymore, you cannot avoid them, the only winning move is not to play. i fell victim to this, bought from an old account with legit feedback and almost no other listings, photos were genuine, price was accurate - a bit above retail but it was an older sought after design in excellent condition. none of it mattered, got sent a fake in the wrong colour anyway. buyee wont do anything about it. they literally say right in their terms if you buy a fake they will not refund you and that's on you. if you do a paypal chargeback they ban you for life. the only way i got my money back is i didnt mention the shirt was fake at all, i said it was the wrong colour and i paid for them to double check the item before they packed it. they agreed that was their bad and refunded me. if i had said the product was fake they would have told me to kick rocks. if the fake was the right colour i would have been screwed.
>>18699766the fake sellers know this. they're preying on people using proxy services who have no recourse if they get sent a fake. it's not just buyee, basically no proxy service will open a dispute if you get sent a fake. it's the ultimate scam for these subhuman chinese bug people and it's gotten so bad actual nihonians don't even use mercari anymore. threy don't want to bother with having to file a dispute either.anyway, your price index is screwed. the wells been poisoned. the average price of any of this stuff online these days is totally fake and bullshit because scammers list items for way underneath and way above what's actually accurate. and they massively boost the perceived amount of product that exists because they have tons of fake listings in the middle as well. this price index can only work for stuff that doesn't get massively faked which is now almost nothing. out of the stuff you listed visvim, kapital, wacko maria, undercover, needles, and human made all have tons and tons and tons of fake listings. cdg homme plus is the only thing you mentioned i dont think the chinese bother faking. you can maybe make an accurate price index for that. im sure most of the people buying and selling it are actually real and the listings are genuine. but everything im into is faked to hell and back. i only buy retail now or second hand inrl if I can handle the product in person. internet is absolutely cooked for this shit unfortunately but especially mercari more than any other platform (because of the thing with proxy buyers being unable to dispute fake sellers).

>>18699700Unlike your ex girlfriend
Is this a phase for most people or are there actually people that dress like this for the rest of their lives? I've never heard, met, or known a single father in the world that continues to dress like this past their 20s.
>>18697939You know they are the ones wanting to ruin this board, right?
>>18697883This could actually be cool if somebody with vril was wearing it. The styling this fag chose (none at all) speaks volumes.
>>18697883That's gotta be a joke. I've seen jokes like that. >stuff one of those horseshoe ass pillows in the back and just rip the front off and leave all the threads hanging. It'll be hilarious.There's no way that's an actual product that people wear. Like a weird butler vest? What's with the long shirt? That whole thing's dumber than the Seinfeld "pirate look".
Or if it is an actual piece of fashion wear it's from one of those runway shows where a really crazy gay British designer high on meth just creates 50 of the wackiest things he can slap together from a warehouse full of funky fabrics and he has 50 of the worlds top models there, all close personal friends, and they march up and down the Italian catwalk and photos are taken, everyone celebrates the "achievement", and none of it is ever even considered for mass production. I saw a documentary about one of those guys, and there are several of those guys operating at any given time. Fascinating world. I wouldn't have known about it if it weren't for my girlfriend putting on that documentary. And I kind of remember stuff like that when I was young and my mom would watch 'Style with Elsa Klensch'. I think it was Saturday mornings on CNN, thankfully after cartoons were over.

regarding summer footwear for women: what do you recommend? sandals? sneakers? ballet flats? what looks the best with a summery dress?
Not a summery dress I guess, but

went to my usual barber and asked for this exact cut showing this exact pictureI didn't think anything of it but the usual barber wasn't there and I got handed off to a barber (scrawny black dude) I hadn't seen before since I was just a walk-inHe did an okay fade on the sides but like.. just.. refused to touch the top almost entirely?I tried to style my hair slicked back as the picture shows and when I asked and addressed him about the areas that didn't look right or seemed like they were folding over wrong he just said I needed to grow it out more?? (even though it looked too long in comparison?)When I asked if he was new to that shop, either he didn't hear the question right or purposely chose not to address it because all he said was that I could pay the main guy at the front (usual business)I'm assessing the cut now after my shower and it's just my usual haircut but longer; and I'm not exactly happythis seems happens every time I try to get this haircut. What do I need to do or say to finally get someone to give me this cut properly? besides not letting this guy touch my hair again and just waiting until one of the more regular barbers were ready.it really shouldn't be this hard should it?what is it about this cut that's so difficult?or are people botching it on purpose because it's a "Nazi" haircut?wtf do I need to do /fa/
>>18699073when I was younger, my first official "haircut" in High School was long hair like that... I just let it grow for 4 months and didn't touch it (like many high schoolers did in the 2000s). I just didn't know anything about getting it cut properly so I buzzed it lolthis would take me back to basically childhoodI'd need to go take a vacation somewhere for 3 months and just let it grow
>>18699224You already were told that this haircut was cool here before pol was even a thing. You're literally a newfag. Literally, not as an insult. Retard (this is an insult).
>>18699293Yes Ivan we know you're raiding. Yes Ivan we know you're trying to astroturf being a nazi.
>>18699033People are effort posting in here. What are you talking about? It's kinda nice actually because it reminds me of what this place was like over ten years ago. Everyone talked about "HY" haircuts back then.
>>18699400the oldfags are here that's why the shills and faggots are seething ;)
I have a watch similar to this, with a brown plain leather strap that I like and I want to wear it my black sneakers (I mostly have and use black sneakers with a white sole).I dunno why but I feel it's slightly off. Suit guys always match shoe and watch and belt leathers, and I wonder if casual and business casual can get away with it?Maybe it should be a darker brown leather strap? Or a brighter brown?It has to be a steel case, gold case is even worse.What do you guys think? Sorry if I'm being retarded
>>18697747I wanna fsck her

>>18699422Braids are a hair density/thickess check. If you have good density, they look impressive. If you don't, they just look sad. Do them if you have it and want to show off, avoid at all cost otherwise.

Why have stores stopped selling cargo pants? I'm in need of some new ones, particularly ones with zipper pockets, but no one has any in stock. Where else am I supposed to keep my phone, keys, bulky wallet, and other things?I could order a pair online, but I always want to try clothes in person first.
Dunking on cargo pants was a millennial thing that hasn't really been big since all the millennials aged out of caring about fashion and all got fat and had a bunch of kids. You'll sometimes see a tatted up, saggy tits woman with a tramp stamp dunking on "sagging gangster pants and fedoras and cargo shorts and crocs" like that's still a relevant strawman but otherwise this isn't really a thing, you can easily get cargo pants at most stores
>>18696937I feel like there's a shortage overall.Like brands make short production runs and all the good sizes are good in a few weeks.The brand SUPERDRY is guilty of this, i don't know what the fuck is wrong with them.
>>18696996>good sizes are good in a few weeks.* are gone in a few weeks

Sunglasses thread.Also, what are some good alternatives to these Rayban Clubround classics?
I'm always hoping to find genuine horn sunglasses at the thrift store.
>>18696741i dont buy from companies that use DEI imagery even if it’s AI generated like OP’s pic
Saw this at a store locally and fell in love. I don't need more sunglasses and I honestly haven't bought anything besides AliExpress knockoffs for 10 years now, but I'm considering buying this as a frame to get my prescription on if it fits after I try.
I know you said no RayBans, but at the end of the day, all I really wear are Aviators and ClubMasters. What more do you need, really?
>>18699511Wayfarers
I love going to raves and the summer will be the perfect time to abuse my sculpted body with molly, alcohol, and pussy, one small issue i find is a disturbing lack of suitable clothing for such a niche, most alternative clothing options are catered to skinny twinks which would look disastrous on me. My go-to outfit is usually a pair of black/white denim shorts with an opposing coloured muscle-hugging wife beater and some jewellery to match. Which so far has worked out great but i'd definitely love to explore some other options, any ideas /fa/ggots?
>>18697255>most alt clothing options are catered for skinny twinksYeah bro, fashion is for skinny people. Clothes all look goofy on jacked guys. You chose your path, your physique is your fashion. Just wear shorts and go shirtless, bring a drawstring bag for functionality
>>18698862alt as in, emo/scene girl kinda vibe, lots of black and white, with a good deal of fags >>18698869fuck it wife beater it is
be more creative. there’s so much shit you could do with a plain white shirt. get some transfer paper and print something on it or tye dye that shit. i know you said you have no clothes but who the fuck shows up to a rave in a plain shirt and shorts
>>18698177Pretty much. Like all he needs is to be ripped and wear a tank top and foids will want to suck his dick. It's not that complicated.
>>18699457did it cross your mind that I don't struggle to get laid? I'm just looking for nice outfits man
What's the most natural feeling product for styling short hair into a messy matte warrior cut style?Never tried powders before, is this the solution to not feeling like your hair is overly sticky?Salt spray maybe?
Summer’s almost here. Post sandal outfits that go hard as fuck.
>>18697410paraboot pacific
you guys should get a pair of those glitter jelly shoes
