Kop the wrong brands, wear jeans with the wrong wash, wrong cut, etc and you will be made fun of (sometimes mercilessly). Often this forum creates it's own reality that has little barring to the opinions of the outside world. There is a huge desire for many members to seek approval of the group since they spend such a large amount of their lives here. Yes, I feel somewhat contaminated by even visiting here and attempting to fit in. That's what's refreshing about the MC guys posting here-- a group of outsiders to shake things up.

The challenge outfit was my snow outfit—hence the boots; I thought those were more SW'ish... I was wrong. I have no idea how monks are looked upon here, but I think they're great, from jeans to suit. (Forgive me for not using the right clothing terms; I don't know how to do SW&D language (if there is such a thing) and I'm not a native speaker.) Oh, and I read some of you don't like detail pictures—I do. Okay, here goes:

Be gentle.
IMO, Looks great.

I think this looks cool too. I love the jacket and don't mind the sleeves one bit.

I think I was wearing them a bit too low. But what the **** is with those pants? And hair?

 

[NOBD]

Thanks for the feedback and the kind comments, guys.

Yeah, everybody knows your supposed to have, like, eight pairs of identical raw denim that never show significant fading because you're always rotating them and kopping new pairs for your collection. (8)

Oh we've finally hit raw denim ubiquity backlash? Let me readjust my SF hype cycle meter. I still think the jeans would be better if they looked darker or even lighter. They fit great, but I'm just not a fan of that inbetween neon-y blue, though color settings on the photo might be adjusted to accentuate the color more (speaking in particular to the bottom-right photo).

Thanks, the cardigan is w+h chabanel fleece fw'10. The shirt is a gant rugger double weave

I am going to withhold further MC commentary until the contest. Brought out my costume today - gun club jacket and wine trou. Yeah, I got a lot of pictures. That's how we do in MC. Deal with it.

In line with SW&D Rules: BB - coat Boss - shirt BR - tie Target - bar and links Charles Tyrwhitt - trou Stuart McGuire - shoes Viccel - socks Citizen - shoes AE - belt

Am I crazy, or are there some navy threads in this weave (along with black)?

And my self destructing vintage shells have been fixed (for now) with shoe goo and lots of conditioner.

I know 'you have a punchable face' used to be a popular criticism around here but in this case I'd say you have a punchable everything. You're at Queens? Don't venture too far North of Princess in that getup.

You've done some decent stuff in terms of what you're going for but this one requires some re-evaluation. Also, have you put on weight?

 

[aeglus]

^^do you tell people they're punchable in person? I suggest you try.

You have a lot of redundant pics luft (I'm guilty of this sometimes but not MC level guilty). Fixed it for you, citizen taken out because no one cares about that watch. Also you should try not to go above 800 pixels in height or width (I try to stay at 6-700 max).

 

[James_M]

It was a comment on previous criticisms. As I mentioned.

 

[Synthese]

I think that Listi's look is pretty ******* awesome right there. Seriously. Really trashy, and that's supposed to be a compliment.

The MCer's are looking mostly good too, albeit a little more conservative than some people on this side of the board would prefer

However, there is some seriously ridiculous unnecessary hate/criticism/nitpicking being thrown around by people who probably should...um...shut the **** up, but politely.

 

[UrbanComposition]

Had to wear a suit today. I think the jacket might be a tad too long. Thoughts are welcome.

Or tell me to GTFO & I'll just post casual fits here

 

[shoreman1782]

Urban Composition's pics remind of The_Foxx--he still post?

I think luftvier's latest is awesome, minus maybe the tie. But jacket/trou/shoes are great and fit well. But then I'm a closet iGent.

 

[Listi]

I fixed my hair before I went out guys, you all know my hair is solid. The fit is obviously ill-proportioned to a hilarious degree, lighten up

http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr....bMnBdvy9OiE%3D my first post to this thread. What do you all think of the fit of this jacket?
