Well I have been collecting the bones of my enemies for a while now, so I guess this would be one thing to do with them.

It's really hard to pull off leathers in the formal/casual or even "modernist" look, I think platypus did the later recently (say black raf trousers+crisp white dress shirt+black Lang shoes w. a leather) but not sure it wasn so all you have to do is chill.


I definitely agree that it's much more difficult to pull off a leather in a formal/casual look than in a strictly casual way. You've met me, and I'm sure you'd find it hard to imagine me doing formal casual, or modernist (a la Raf Simons, for example.) It's sort of like pulling off anything denim well in that formal/casual setting. The best of the second is the black denim Gucci sportscoat or the black denim biker jacket from Dior circa 2001. You really don't see it done well that often, though.

The past decade, with all the fascination with casual clothing, has served me well. I suppose that if I need to bust out a sportscoat with the whole #menswear thing, that my Kin jacket in 18 ounce military barathea will have to do.

A ******* bird just pooped on my new OCBD as I was walking home from the book store. I will be eating CAGE RAISED chicken tonight in retaliation.

it feels strange paying 50 dollars for a t shirt, for 10 of them you would spend $500 alone just for tshirts, of course if you have the money to burn on t shirts then more power to you.
you can get a tshirt for $10 at the gap right now with all the sales, feels the same and looks the same mostly, it won't have raw hems but you can take it to a tailor and they can do it easily for a couple of bucks if you really prefer that look.


Don't worry guys, this is an MC troll, otherwise known as Reevolving. He has some great threads.

not sure how these = "resident sophmore-turned-rasta pot head hemp hoodies" but okay ... .

Ummm, that looks pretty much exactly like the description. Not sure how you can't see that.

Is it just me, or are those long, floppy, shapeless, thin leather boots that I see women everywhere wearing the new UGGs?

Do we need to send a head shot along with the proxy request?

Late pass on the t-shirt talk, but do any brands out there other than Silent offer long, slim sleeves on their short-sleeve (preferably non-crew neck) shirts? It seems like most t-shirt sleeves don't even come close to mid-bicep on me.

Wish it was easier to find Man of Moods t-shirts below retail.

yeah they're everywhere, but on most girls they look wayyyy better than uggs. not nearly as offensive stylistically IMO.

Damn it. I had a couple of things on my wishlist at The Corner with the "notify me when it is the last one available" option checked. I just logged in and saw that a couple are sold out. I got no notification.
