    "Classic Americana" streetwear

    There are many discussions about various aspects of the "classic Americana" aesthetic in streetwear, but I couldn't find a dedicated thread. I'm very interested in classic Americana in style as well as the greater pop culture, so I'm starting a thread in hopes of getting an overview. When I say...

    Terrible music you like

    Apologies if there's a similar thread. I don't range over here very often. What music do you like that's pretty much indefensible, but you don't care? I'm not talking about music that people think sucks, but they are stupid, because it doesn't. I'm talking about music that people think sucks...

    Dressing like a grown-up

    I turn 37 this summer. I'd like to make the transition from my usual "$200 jeans and a t-shirt I bought in a bag of 3" to slacks, chinos, and nice casual button-downs. I'd like to start dressing my age. I'm not Iggy Pop. I'm upgrading my professional wardrobe with several MTM three-piece...

    Are you ever tempted to just "give up"?

    I've noticed that most members accept, with some degree of rueful resignation, that the stereotypical Abercrombie/Hollister/AmJack/whatever look is considered stylish and draws a lot of favorable attention from large segments of the dateable population. (As I am both happily married and fucked...

    Name one song *everyone* should dl RIGHT NOW

    Don't know if a similar thread has been posted before. What's the one song you've got in heavy rotation that everyone everywhere needs to hear? Just one. For whatever reason, and however obscure/mainstream. It could be an undiscovered gem or a classic. Mine right now is "My Name Is Trouble" by...

    Recommend boots and shoes

    I posted this pic in WAYWN, and wear this sort of thing a lot: Get Smart pointed out that from the ankles up, it is a fine manly look, but that the Vans juxtaposed with the rest of the outfit make me look like a pretty ballerina. He suggested boots. I only have one pair of boots, a pair of...

    ? for Morrissey fans

    May go to Morrissey show in Columbus on Fri. 5/18. A big deciding factor will be whether he just does solo stuff at his shows, or does Smiths stuff as well. So, if you've been to a Morrissey show, any info/input as to set list and worthiness of the show in general would be great. Thanks!

    Seersucker odd coat?

    I may be picking up a seersucker suit. On days that I don't want to go the Full Atticus, is it acceptable to wear just the coat? If so, what sort of pants go with it? Other than dirty bucks, what kind of shoes are appropriate? Socks? Shirt? Tie? Some other lawyers here wear seersucker. It comes...

    Need "dressy" jeans

    OK, I'm on kind of a spending spree today. I just blew over $300 on American Apparel, $400 down on custom shirts, and over $300 on a new briefcase. Heady stuff for me, so I'm exulting. For spring, I'm starting to actually wear things like blazers, sport shirts, ocbd's, sweater vests...

    Custom shirts - does this look legit?

    I don't know the first thing about custom tailoring. The city in which I live only has one tailor who makes shirts: http://bestmastertailor.com/index.html I can't really tell from the website if the prices are about right for the services he offers, and I honestly don't think I know enough...

    Aaigh! I've become "skinny fat"! :(

    I just came to this realization and I need help, stat. I lack the distance at this point to be real objective about what I need to do. I used to be just skinny. 5'9", between 125 and 135 lbs. I lived on alcohol, drugs, and cigarettes for a long time and looked like a spider monkey. After I quit...

    Crew or v-neck t-shirts?

    I'm picking up a load of AA basics shortly, and haven't decided how to concentrate the t-shirt portion of the order. For most of my life, I've worn crew t-shirts exclusively, but I'm starting to branch out into v-necks. I don't really know when and with which each style is appropriate. Which do...

    Recommend casual button-up shirts

    I need some decent casual button-up shirts suitable for wearing untucked without looking all AmJack. I'd be wearing them either with casual sportcoats and jeans, or over band or graphic t-shirts with jeans, or with cords/trousers. (I know the "button-up over band shirt" is pretty played, but I...

    Recommend your favorite items under $50

    I only have a small amount of discretionary income to spend on clothes each month, and I don't have the patience to save my money to make "big" purchases very often. Because of this, and because I am cheap, I'm always looking for suggestions for items that don't break the bank but are still...

    Tell me about waistcoats

    I honestly don't know the first thing about wearing waistcoats or vests with suits or coats. I don't even know the difference between a waistcoat and a vest. However, I'm slowly but surely upgrading my business wardrobe, and I'd like to work in a vest or two, as I think they look nice. I also...

    "Random rules": 10 random songs from your player

    The Onion AV Club has a weekly feature in which B-list indie music celebrities talk about the first 10 songs that come up on their mp3 or media players. I'm not in this forum often enough to know if something similar has ever been posted here, but it seems like an interesting discussion...

    Wrangler 936DEN "Slim Cowboy Cut"

    On the 19th, I'll likely be ordering a pair of Grifters from Ande Whall. I'm also thinking of adding a pair of very cheap raw jeans to the rotation. Does anyone have experience with the Wrangler 936DEN "slim cowboy cut" jeans? If I get these, I'll be clipping off the Wrangler patch. They run...

    Recommend $200 dry jeans

    I need a new pair of jeans. I like my Nudie RRDS, but I cuff my jeans and the slight bootcut looks less than perfect with cuffs. My criteria are: 1. Dry. Selvage doesn't really matter to me. 2. Nice uniform dark dye. Nothing like the weird Straight Sven color. 3. Straight leg or slight taper...

    Need slim v-neck sweater, online

    I need a nice, slim-fitting black v-neck sweater, available from an online merchant. I'd like to avoid visible brand logos if possible. I wear a Small (34-36) in basically everything, and I'm looking to come in at about $90, shipping included. Recommendations?

    Help me expand style/palette

    I wear a pretty limited spectrum of styles and colors, and I'm looking at gradually expanding what I wear. Right now, I'm looking for input on casual/street only ... I'm still all over the place with my business wardrobe. Styles I wear now: T-shirts, track jackets, hoodies, work jackets...
