What is your personal signature jacket? Mine is a recreation of pic related
>>18684281The perfect ammount of jackets is just one more.
>>18683523>french chore coat in the classic blue, fading and lightening up over the yearsWhat brand?
>>18687245Le Mont Saint Michel. It's a few years old and I've washed it a million times because it was so stiff in the beginning. They really need to go through the wash a few times before they finally relax
>>18683125It's a maroon bomber
>>18683125I have a big and long ass black wool coat with huge lapels that shoot out to my arms. Wear it with the collar up kinda like pic related all winter like an autist. It's a beautiful coat though.
>bottom button intentionally left unbuttoned to honor the tradition of emulating some fat lord who couldn't button all the buttonsHow is this not any different than like how a Nigga sags his pants down?
>>18685160I believe leaving the bottom jacket button undone started to get popular in the late 20s to early 30s as a way of looking a little more casual which was increasingly trendy. Like most trends then it likely did filter down from the upper classes who were probably doing it a decade or more prior. These days the argument for still always following the rule is that jackets aren't designed for the bottom jacket to ever be buttoned, but I question if that's always the case or not. I also argue that bottoming the bottom button looks better than the horrific shirt triangle that plagues modern fits- something that high waisted pants can help with but not always.
>>18686527agreed about the original intent likely being to look more casual. i added some pics in response to my original post showing a timeline of sorts. you'd be surprised, but a good number of current-year jackets can be fully buttoned perfectly fine, at least in the mall when i last looked, if they were constructed right. the shirt triangle is indeed dreadful, one more reason to be glad that high rise is finally getting its due again. it's ironic that something probably meant to be casual has become compulsory, since when something is forced, it's no longer casual.
>>18686517>a century passes>surely one-button jacket can be fashionable and popular for men by now!>nope still gay lmao

When they put on their 20K Rolex Submariner, bitches can't resist!
>>18687227IWC pilot
>>18687230Mark XX? I have one of those, they are good watches, but also a "non-watch" watch; It's a basic design, you already have a minimalist mindset and usually want a non intrusive watch or a one watch collection when you buy those.
>>18687195It's some intricate little mechanical stuff with a bunch of variations and degrees of autism to geek out over and a century+ of history and makes/models to memorize and categorize. If you didn't say it had something to do with fashion, nobody would fucking assume it would.It's one of those things that should be taken into consideration yeah, and girls do dig decent looking watches yes - but they more of just expect that successful guys wear one to begin with, because it looks like you have nowhere to be if you don't need a watch and apple watches are looked down on as dorky gimmicks by many girls too. they absolutely won't care if you have like 50 of them nor about what excellent horological research went into this one 30k piece hat you borrowed against your house for. That would turn the average woman away actually. The typical citizens and seikos etc you see however, that really-is fine enough for most fits.You can say, that having really impressive majestic watches can impress other men who would be able to recognize the difference. However the general 'good enough' effort to win that game is a Rolex or two for the average guy. The geekery over whatever tourbillion turbo buttblast watches appeals not even to the average guy trying to read your status but speficially only to the other horologists who would lose their shit seeing you wear it. >tl;dr do not discount watches in general, you should wear one if you don't want to look like fucking shit. but hardcore watchfags impress only each other.
>>18687376>guy trying to read your statusPull your head out of your ass, man. You're way too invested in what you think people think. And what you think is wrong.
For those on the older side of /fa/ , what is your opinion on wearing your high school class ring as a fashion piece? Maybe i'm just getting a little nostalgic for the time , but I don't really wear jewelry , so this feels awkward on my fingers.
Class ring? Do mericans really...
>>18687781The gen Xers I know atleast.
>>18687779College. And even then only at relevant functions. Wearing your fucking high school ring at anything other than 10/20 year reunion is some living in the past loser ass shit. Lmao.
>>18687798Going to high school reunions is also for losers.
>>18687799It is. But I was trying to give leeway since it's only one night.
I NEED BLACK CHUCKSBut i refuse to buy low quality nike slop that breaks in 3 months so I can't buy them unless I go to Japan. But I wont be going any time in the next 5 years probably and I'll be too old to wear teenager shoes then.
>>18687169arent these like rick owens? >>18686982ive had the same converse for like 2 years and am jsut now replacing them with the chuck 70s just get them faggot where what u want. the chuck 70s are more higher quality so ive heard
>>18687397I don't like the disgusting yellow tint on chuck 70s. Chucks need to have a pristine white bottom.
>>18687420Chucks look better with a distressed punky look.
>>18687420You can build a custom one with the all star white
>>18687650I tried to customize, white wasn't an option for the outsole. Only off white and 2 other things.
Fade is the best hairstyle for men
>>18687239>Fade is the gayest hairstyle for menFTFY. If you have fades, I will automatically assume you suck cocks.
>>18687250why the fuck does anyone even think about sucking cocks? whats wrong with you anon? are you a fag
>>18687239I prefer a mop cut, fades make me look like a hooligan
>>18687239messy gym mullet is the best cut I've ever had.
fades are teh nromie copefor shaving your head on both siedes
Questions that dont deserve their own thread.I’ll start:Think the uncs will be able to create new fashion trends? Youth fashion is cringing me out guys.
i need a white/very light gray pull over hoodie with a design in black on it. the design specifically can be metal-ish, or just something with thin lines, curves and symbolic. I know this is a specific request but it's the kind of vibe I'm looking for in an article in an outfit idea.
>>18676095where can i find jeans that fit like this as a tranny?
Where can I find a good pair of straight fit, high rise corduroys made of 100% cotton?
Where do I get some good bucket hats? No brand logos, just solid colors
What the fuck do you even do when you're a smedium? I'm 5'8, and any Medium jacket I wear the sleeves are an inch too long for my arms and the jacket itself's an inch too long and makes me look like I'm wearing my dad's jacket as a 13 year old. And any Small jacket I wear makes me look like a fat fuck. It feels like even the most basic styles just don't work for people in this height range.Pic related, I wanted a nice spring jacket to wear was thinking of picking up a Harrington jacket. I'm never gonna be skinny as a rail, but there has to be something for the Apex manlet. Tailoring? Fuck
Post yourself wearing a hat and let others rate you out of 10.
Why is it that no one in this board is able to rotate a photo?
>>18687479>unkept beard>that awful shirt>default glasses, clearly chosen by necessity>high body fat percentageThe hat is nice, but you clearly don't have the outfit nor the age to compliment it
>>18687491Rotate photo? Is that some hacker nerd thing?
>>18687479brim should be wider
you know the drill. Post watches, talk watches.Ask for recommendations. People here are extremely knowledgeable and have actual experience of owning X watch(es). Everybody is welcome.
>>18686714just fyi Baltany makes a connie homage in the original proportions (and other classic designs) with sapphire and modern wr. love my crosshair.

>got a gf>get laid several times>no longer interested in collecting watcheswhat causes this?

>>18687382Why not?
>>18687187Have you cut your cock off yet?
>>18687187You have very cute hair, and the all black fit accentuates it. I'm growing out my hair now. Your pic is going in my inspo folder. I'm not trans or anything. I just want to be a cute man.
>>18687187Yep, still don't pass
>>18687382They wanna put it in your troon hole
you DO know your color season and subtype, RIGHT?
Anon, unless you've gone to an aesthetic consultant from South Korea or Japan (where they invented this system), you don't know your color season either.
No, fortunately.
>>18685516How can I learn which one I am?
>>18687581Close your eyes and point. It is all bullshit.
>>18687581Unironically upload a photo of yourself in natural sunlight to an AI and ask it what your colour season is. AI is good for very few things. This is one of them.
What kind of outfits help you land a baddie like this?

walmart levis are fine.
>>18687503yeah prolly
>>18687503Realistically what's the difference between discount store Levi's vs "real" Levi's you get at their store? Both are made overseas, most likely in the same factory by the same people
they wear out faster. I've had a pair of real 501's for 10 years that i bought used at a thrift store and they are still great, meanwhile the pairs i've bought from walmart had buttons fall off, pockets rip, seems fray and holes worn in the knees.
>>18687534This guy performed tests on levis from different retailers at different prices. The conclusion is tgat there's not much difference. I don't think those tests are conclusive, though, and nothing beats actual usage over time. https://youtu.be/PPdGhZHT7JU?is=LUBjRABkri4J6U3D
My mum bought me a pair of jeans from kmart when i was a teen that were branded levi strauss. i think they were under $20 australian. they were a bit tight and long in the legs but they were okay quality. a lot better than the trash kmart sells now (kmart was sold off and they stopped selling name brand shit)
How are the soles on these? I don't know shit about shoes but these seem fine to me, albeit superficially dirty.
>>18686026In my country there are NO GOOD SHOES. I mean that you could spend 40 dollars or 400 dollars and you would get crap. I thrift Italians' and scandinavians' old shoes so I can get a shoe that is entirely leather and will last me at least 3 years instead of a month. I sterilize them with some antibacterial wet wipes and let them air out for several days, seems enough to me.
>>18687341Speaking of that, my best pair's insole is now cracked in both shoes, can I just glue the crack shut (shoes are like brand new on the outside once I polish them and glue/nail new rubber heels and soles) or do I insert a disposable insole and just use them for what life they have left?
>>18687341>I mean that you could spend 40 dollars or 400 dollars and you would get crapIf you have a budget of 400 USD you can afford to get stuff shipped from Meermin, Allen Edmonds, etc. online. Or do they not ship to your country?
>>18687343Not sure if they do, and if they do, that's still sub-optimal. What if the shoes don't fit, even if I select the right size? I want to try them on before I buy them and without having to pay shipping, possibly twice if I have to return them.
