stop.

a. 

 

dickhead.

 

Post a fit instead? ..

just stop. you make the same mistakes 20 times in a row, then get pissy when people get tired of you spamming this thread. are you 15 years old? do you seriously not see how this works?

Deer skin dress robes made for an interesting change from the daily 5 layers of patagonia. My prof on the right has had his for 17 years.

What mistakes were there today? Truly, i'm interested.

 

If the responses in this thread detailed that sort of information, rather than a smart ass unhelpful comment, it'd probably help not hinder the thread. 

 

I'm not suggesting this become a thread about one or two people, but it might help everyone to see constructive critisism in a DISCUSSION thread.

 

If all you want is to see perfect fits, time and time again, shouldn't that go in the no discussion thread? And serve as a gallery of sorts?

 

Your basically saying don't post until you dress to the same standard as everyone else.

 

Honestly, I took some of the things I read over the past week or two, put them into play and posted a fit. I've not been posting daily since.

Guys this mutual masturbation either needs to end or it needs to go elsewhere. Take it to PM or something Jesus Christ.

Are you stupid? I'm saying (as I and other people have said before) is that this forum, and this thread, is not here to hold your hand as you figure out how fashion works. When you post, listen to the feedback (or not), but don't then immediately post again. And again. And again.

But here's some specific feedback (which you'll probably ignore):

1. I can't tell how the fuck your clothes fit because the angle of your pictures is so awful.
2. Lanvin sneakers are incongruous with the business casual wardrobe that you wear. You need to be wearing better, more appropriate shoes. That does not mean some clunky #menswear Grenson or McNairy monstrosity, it means a nice, classic pair of Crockett & Jones or Aldens. Something very basic, yet nice.
3. Your outfits always have an issue with proportion. This one is better, but if you're going to roll your sleeves up that high, it looks strange to have a buttondown with every button but one done up. Unbutton another button.

But really, here's what you should do: buy better, more appropriate shoes. Stop wasting money buying designer shirts and having them tailored, just go MTM. Tuck in your shirts. Buy better pants.

Regardless of the pricetag of the pieces, everything you wear screams "GQ wannabe". It's pretty rough. I'd also skip the watch shot in every post, because it's tacky.

If you want inspiration, look at tonio or NAMOR. Both of them do the aesthetic you're going for well.

It's painfully obvious he doesn't want advice. Stop giving it. He doesn't want it.

He wants validation, a pat on the back. Why else do you think he started his fits with watch pictures, then when that didn't work, next came the pics of his wife.

lol wtf Dbear? Sorry, but no. 

 

Teger - I just took a look at NAMOR's gallery, and while the fit pics are scarce in the pages I looked at, I agree with him achieving what I have in mind from what I did find.

 

Some very nice shoes in his rotation also. 

It's sort of a combination of both. The Y's shirt is definitely a bit longer than normal and I gave the H&M shirt raw hems since it had the tendency toroll up anyways. The lighting gets on my nerves too but the sun has not shone since October. Sorry everyone!
 

I know this won't really contribute much to the thread, but I'm really tired of coming to update-read and just see all of this.
It's one thing that I have elisiX on blocked, but then there's everyone chiming in and it just gets so clogged up.
I'm personally not really seeing much of any difference in any of elisiX's fits.
I think what a lot of people are saying about not frequently just posting in a fit is a good idea.
Even if you want critiques, at least dare to make some drastic changes or at least wait until you have something you think you've "gone out of the box" to try out.
Then it's through that way the critiques really set in.

sorry to intrude the present convo.

notwithit, though porker did a better job of answering your question than i ever could, and he out MCs me flat out, i though id jump in anyways with a very slightly different opinion.

while parker clearly is right about the history of the jacket meant to be buttoned fully, and he provided very adequate photographic proof, and if one wanted to button their jacket that way they would have more than enough with which to back themselves up, still, i am yet to see a single MC fit that was fully buttoned up. maybe i missed it, but that kind of thiing would almost definitely cause a brouhaha of note.

i think the most likely MC answer to the question, or at least the one you may hear the most, would be not to buy a jacket with that kind of stance if you want to button it at all. certainly parker has a broader view than most, evidenced by his successful MC/SWD crossover, and he is the exact type of guy to be able to see the positive in the fully buttoned up jacket, i imagine most on the MC side would say to stay away from it and find a jacket with a stance that looks proper with the bottom button undone.

now, maybe the SWD view of such a jacket would be to fully button it, and that is fine. maybe right now a lot of street-wear inspired jackets out there are intentionally being made with this type of stance, with the intent that they be worn full buttoned. but for me, i think id stay away if you are trying to get an MC look out of a jacket. just find a jacket with a stance made for leaving the bottom button undone, there are plenty out there.

as to your second question, you may want to try the belvest jacket in a box.

elisix has benes syndrome

And these dudes were like...


And then the forum was all like...

Stitches, does anywhere actually stock that particular Belvest jacket?

I just had a look back to the type of fits being posted in 2011 - so very different and much more casual/relaxed overall.

 

The tone was more relaxed too I might add. 

 

I managed to stumble across the period where SVB was making some changes and was trying to find a casual fit away from his Mon-Fri business attire. 

 

Certainly some interesting reading.
