Opinions on "Steampunk" fashion

[Cotton Duck]

Excuse me for asking, but since when did that matter?

Cotton, I really dig your look. It's got a lot more verve and creativity than 95% of the outfits I see on these forums. Everything fits perfectly, and the pastiche of workwear, tweeds, and casual sneakers/boots simply works.

Awesome.

I would like to remind you all that at the Superfuture 002.SFO party five months ago the Best Dressed Award went to Cotton Duck.
Carry on...

Yeah. I think he definitely deserved that too. Cotton Duck has a style that is unique, interesting, and looks damned cool. And, most importantly he wears the clothes; they don't wear him. That is really the key.

This thread needs more pictures of the Duck.

A random guy with a cool, slightly quirky aesthetic?

OKay, here we go....
This is what I could find quickly


Rock out with ********* out, I love to see people doing it and doing it well.

So Will Smith is like the grandfather of this movement?

I had never heard of this before this thread, and looking around the internets I found this, which I have to admit, looks pretty neat: http://www.sillof.com/index.htm.

That is the coolest goddamned thing I have seen in a long, long time. I will probably be revisiting my blog soon, and I think I may have to insert a blurb about that site.

My own steampunk influences (when I dress in that direction at all) run a bit less rustic than Duck's, but it's nice to see it get some recognition here. I think I could have lived a full and happy life without seeing that picture of who's girlfriends, though.

 

[Cotton Duck]

Thanks for all the praise people, very warm welcome indeed. Arethusa, would love to see some pics... And Hews, there's quite a lot of people doing that Starwars/Steampunk = Steam Wars crossover. It lends itself perfectly for it.

i saw this thread title and saw that CD was the last reply and i couldn't have thought of a more fitting person to post here. I just learned about Steampunk today, the whole movement seems pretty interesting.

This **** is serious... (edit: just wanted to make clear that this was suggested to me by google reader and that I don't search for sites like this...) Play some more dress up why don't you? Ex: etc. Funny thing is that I can imagine these people being upset that this is being discussed on a fashion forum thus becoming more "mainstream"...
