is a good quality and/or designer wallet worth it? i lost mine and need a replacement
i lost my wallet a while ago and ever since ive just kept 2-3 cards wrapped in a rangerband as my 'wallet' and dont think ill go back to an actual wallet
>>18190089I've lost my walled with all my shit countless times. I've stopped carrying wallets and now just have all my shit in my pockets. Not a single issue ever since
>is a designer wallet worth it?NO especially not a leather one they are low low low quality, the bottom of the barrel.info on how terrible they are here: https://www.youtube.com/@tanner.leathersteincanvas and nylon designer wallets are fine but they will still be poorly constructed.>is a good quality wallet worth it?YES. get something from a small leatherworker. look around locally for a leatherworker failing that plebbit r/leatherclassifieds is unironically the best place to get good wallets if you don't want to pay an arm and a leg. post a commission with a pic of the type of wallet you want, say you want full lined + saddle stitched + handmade and say what kind of leather you want (my wallet's bridal leather, cxl is good, idk do some research) and someone will make it for you with minimal markup. you'll probably pay under 100, comparable wallets from a big brand will be like $500++ and designers just flat out won't make anything that high quality. etsy is dogshit now too many fake chinese goods being sold as "hand made" because the website is poorly managed look it up. ebay and such are alright. if you're too lazy for that just look online for a wallet that meets all the criteria i just said.
>etsy is dogshit nowtheres a ton of good stores/leatherworkers on there but also a lot of shady people pretending to be and selling chinese crap. research the store if buying there.
anyways heres my wallet 17 years old never conditioned it or done any leather care to it and ive accidentally wound up swimming a few times with it in my pocket. bridal leather holds up. wouldn't rec it since the company got bought out and started outsourcing though.

It's fucking impossible to find a proper fitting suit in a brick and mortar store
>>18189759>polyester anything
>>18187715How does that sound fake? I have the exact same problem.
>>18187244Still crazy to me that menswear places are STILL selling shitty slim suits with skinny lapels I went to Men's Wearhouse last month to get an emergency suit for an interview, something cheap I would just return afterThey literally did not sell anything but slim fit skinny lapel STRETCH suits

When you're wearing a dress, how do you avoid your bottom jiggling visibly underneath it?
>>18188224Yes. You're mentally ill if you think a jiggly butt is unattractive
>>18189433They're all American and Jewish?
>>18189402The problem is Israel
>>18189448the problematic people are majority jews who came here from the soviet union to escape "persecution" aka justice for the evil shit they did over there.the rest are largely anglo traitors who sold out their own race to jews for money and comfortable lives as elites.hard to blame them when all the jews in organized crime like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucky_Luciano were wholesale murdering anyone in the wasp elite who didn't sell out to the jew.
this thread took a weird turn. hope you figure out what you need, op!
Is fashion going too far?
i don't think there's anything less edgy you could do in today's modern climate. wow! an occult reference to cannibalism SO UNIQUE THIS HASN'T BEEN DONE TO DEATH!!
>>18189203considering its been around for a while I don't think it will ever happen.This iteration will seem cringe, but the whole "demonic/occult" schtick will continue.
>>18189808speaking of is it even possible for low tier art student grade designers to make anything other than unwearable "art" slop garbage?
wow this is soo edgy. i'm blown away
>>18184652y'all want to wear shit like this but not carry a gunposer ass fag boys
Where can I find Hawaiian shirts with good prints that arent polyester?Trying to make fits similar to picrel
Be warned, after starting to wear silk shirts in the summer you won't be able to go back to cotton. The comfort in the heat is unreal, they feel cool to the touch even when it's stupid hot. Rayon isn't terrible but I would definitely opt for silk.
>>18189436silkpilledWhat other (non-aloha) silk brands are good?
>>18189496I only buy vintage because that's where I can find the loud patterns I want and unfortunately I am not going to share the brands I search for aa the pickings are already slim as it is.
>>18189521There's like 20 people on /fa/ bud, we aren't coming for your aloha shirts like some new trend on reddit.
>>18189721Sounds like something someone trying to steal my future cops would say.

I want to go somewhere and be listened to and given actual recommendations about what to wear and how to wear it. Do I need to pay a gorillion dollars for a personal stylist or just shop at higher end stores? I want to be asked questions about what kind of look I'm going for, and given serious recommendations about how to achieve that, in a way that will actually look good and fit me and not just in a "let me upsell you as much as possible" kind of way. Does this exist?
>>18188875>>18189519>>18189520My man are you autistic ? Just buy quality vintage styles and try to make it look casual
>>18189528Alright but from where? Are there any retailers that make vintage styles or if I want a vintage styled suit do I need to get that custom made? I'm willing to invest in a suit but I don't have $3k+ to drop
>>18189531I like Etsy and Ebay for online shopping. Suits look best custom made but if that’s not in your budget then buying an inexpensive suit and having it tailored will look good too
>>18189535Thanks anon. I can find some local shops and look for one or two suits off the rack that I like for 700-1k and get it tailored. Build out the casual wear from there. I bet if I went to locally owned places for suits they'd have good recommendations on casual wear.
>>18189543If it’s in your budget just show the suit guy the kinds of casual clothes you like and he’ll make them for you
what is the name of this style?

I am moving into a fully furnished apartment and I would like to make the living room a little more homely - presently it is quite bland. Ideally, I would prefer to avoid hanging things on the wall as I don't want to worry about losing my damage deposit or plastering/painting to cover the holes.My first impression is that adding an area rug to the floor and some sort of small bookcase (small because I only have 15 books) left of the TV will make the area slightly more cozy. Given I am a student, I would prefer to decorate frugally, but I am certainly open to spending some money as well.What would you do to the space?
>>18185481buy some frames and then find some prints. google your way into finding a genre you like and then narrow it down and then browse. photos or paintings? time era? medium? and so on and so on. you don't need to explain it to like it. just "i like paintings of old cities" is enough or whatever.
>>18186757>>18186962I was thinking of getting those Japanese Futons for my new apartment. I’ve never liked being so high up while I sleep. Any thoughts?
>>18187389If you get a Japanese futon, almost everyday you have to lift it up and hang it somewhere to air out or it will mold. Would you put it on tatami or just on the floor?
>>18187009Yeah I get glare but it's an extremely bright TV. Glare reminds me to leave me house.
>>18186825i have pic related and it always a good one
I want to make a punk style leather jacketany pointers? Will probably use a "vegan" leather since I don't want to ruin an actual leather jacketpic related is inspo but I think too over donewear do you get, make band patches?
>>18187587wax a black denim jacket if you want to emulate the vibe of leather cheaply. probably too sweaty for shows unless its a vest tho.
>>18185625I used to make these when I was a kid. As others have said, unlined denim is the easiest material to work with, and a good place to start with. You can get all the studs, spikes, grommets, and buckles or whatever you want on ebay. It's also a good place to look for inexpensive used leather jackets. A few tips: you can use the tip of a dart to poke holes for studs, and a coin to help press in the prongs. Anthing with a thick lining is a total bitch to work with, your best option is really just to cut it out before you start. Also, I've never tried to use artificial leather myself, but I've seen a lot of them as shows and they all look terrible. The stuff does not hold up at all, and always flakes and rips around the hardware. Something that used to be very cool but seems to have become less common lately was studded camouflage jackets, maybe consider going that route too. Finally, you'll probably be tempted to just go nuts with it at first because its fun, but slow down. Subtlety is an often overlooked virtue in alt fashion.
>You can get all the studs, spikes, grommets, and buckles or whatever you want on ebay.denim's also an easy fabric to work with if you want to do it right and rivet all the hardware on instead of using the much shittier screw-on style attachment. the tools you need are cheap on amazon and ebay these days.
>>18185625Get the merchant & mills “foreman” pattern. (I have posted the one I am making in the neofolk thread).Make leather jacket.The inside is only lined on the bit you can fold out as a lapel so there will be a raw edge but that’s fine because you can use bias and sew that on.Try some simpler projects first and get very good at hand sewing or get good on a machine that can see leather.My first project was a shirt and it was abysmal. You need to practice on simple things first.>>18187587This.>>18187606Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

What are some casually acceptable mens wrist accessories? Does it ultimately come down to just watches? What am I supposed to do, wear a gay wristband?
>>18188328Nice try, but no straight guy in the history of the world ever called another guy a "bore."
