new member wanting to say thanks

[Eos]

Hi, everyone, Ive been reading the forum for about a mont now and decided to sign up today! I just wanted to thank many of the members on here for some great ideas on the direction I want to go, I am a senior in a northwest pennsylvania university, graduating within the year in Communications and Mass Media studies, with a minor in Journalism. I have a slim build and have always hated the baggy loose clothes look, and love the slim fitting professional look, just haven't had the support from friends and family(i live with rednecks) and within the last 6 months or so I have decided to start leaning away from my skateboarding, band shirt, and motorcycle clothing (I'll never completely give it up though) in favor of a more modern clean look. As I live in a more rural area I don't have a great selection of clothes, but i have become fond of slim fitting V-neck sweaters from express with fitted collard shirts underneath and my favorite levi slim fit jeans for the more casual wear, I am currently saving up for a suit from TaT i really like the affordability and slim style of the 2 button house cut. anyways I hope to learn alot here and hopefully after graduation move someplace with more access to nicer clothes, and perhaps have the budget to support the habit, i seem to blow my money on school and motorcycle crap... starting to curb that though. again thanks everyone!

Welcome. I lurked for 6 months before joining. I wish I would joined sooner so I could be part of the great community.

Yeah, welcome. You'll actually find that [tasteful] motorcycle gear tends to go over pretty well here. I'm not sure how it'd work for serious riding, but Temple of Jawnz makes an awesome double rider jacket. Iron Heart also makes jeans, flannels, down coats, and leather goods that take inspiration from classic motorcycle gear.
