I like the black Red Wings. I've been eyeing RW's for some time now but I've never seen them done right. I generally dig the working class, vintage Americana vibe but then every time I see someone with Red Wings, it's always a careless affair, and it looks more like simply an alternative to their tan Timberlands (which were also cool, pre-hip hop) than a style-conscious recognition or tribute to old-school working class clothing.

And people, get your (not "you're") grammar on! I've never seen so many misplaced apostrophes, amongst a relatively intelligent set.

We leave it alone because, well, it's jet. You don't point and laugh at the short bus when it drives by, do you?

Just walked in from a shindig at Taco Mac, it was a cool night and I refused to put the tops on the car. Dressed for the elements and then for inside:

Eh?

Much improved over your first few posts!

I like the scarf but might have chosen another color or pattern considering your hat/shirt colors.

You mean you DON'T ?
I ,for one, find jet's denim leg warmers to be a sexy, MASCULINE addition to his current Thurston Howell lll - meets -L. A. style.

Read my anecdotal evidence and weep.

Also,
It's balls-cold today. So I got out the wool pants.

On a side note, I had a funny incident in class. Some chick saw me with my insulin(looks like an epi-pen). She goes "What's that for?" Fair enough. I told her I had to take injections for my diabetes. She's like, how long have you had that? I say, since high school.

She goes - "Wow, it must be hard being in an English class."

"Oh??"

"Yeah, it's so difficult to read for you, right? Like you can't read quickly?"

I guess she thought it was dyslexia.

This is my meager attempt at fitting in a little more here. I don't normally have the opportunity, nor the financial means to 'dress up' as often as I'd like. Feel free to critique (as if it needed saying), as I really haven't much experience in this realm of fashion. I'm sure some wont like the cut-off leather gloves (I'd rather they be driving gloves) or the denim length but I've got to throw people off just a little, you know?

It's literally all (seriously tailored) thrift store stuff, save for the J. Lindeberg denim (which needs a proper hemming). Sorry for the gimoungous pix.

i don't think you should try to fit in, your look is pretty killer as is.

tiecollector · Oct 26, 2007

Great thrift finds. I have been looking for a vest lately. Those jeans are awesome. I need to search J. Lindeberg on this forum.

berlin report · Oct 26, 2007

cdc, good post. I love the cut-off gloves and the coat together. Wonderful silhouette. I would've preferred it without the self-deprecating preface though.
Just post the pics and see what happens

Looks pretty good CDC. I think i have the same jeans and socks. I see a lot of fingerless gloves on the two fora these days. I won't get a chance to try it out in florida, but when i go to boston/nyc this winter for a week i'm going to give it a try as i kind of like it.

Get Smart · Oct 26, 2007

CDC, nice! It doesnt look like a thrift store ensemble at all. Good fit on everything. Did you just inverse cuff the jeans? I like the short length, esp when wearing boots, tho I'd probably hem them about Â½" longer when getting them properly hemmed.

SoCal..**** you for being able to wear a shearling jacket. Your former hometown is still stuck in summer at 90 degrees (maybe 85 today). bastard. ****.

Which jeans are they? they are awesome.

I *think* they're the same ones I tried on at Saks (on sale for $80). If so, it's black raw denim, REALLY slim, almost skintight. I tried on a 31, waist fit fine (seems to run true to size there) but the legs were really tight. Looking at CDCs hem opening, I'd say they were the same ones.
