Yeah, I wear my shirts untucked and talk like a bro. My style is definately more amjack than hipster because I ******* hate hipsters.

Polaroids and Kaiser helmets.

Yes.

I own a Hugo Boss belt, a Hugo Boss button up, a Hugo Boss suit, Armani wool pants, and I refer to two of my friends as "braaas" (a little different than bro but still in the same vein)

I have an amjacky hugo boss shirt. I don't wear it anymore. Stazy, Armani, by virtue, isn't amjack. I still have a ton of Armani stuff and I don't know how any of it could be construed that way, unless you're talking AX logo-wear.

misogyny, fingerless gloves, tight jeans, and not looking good. In general, spending lots of money on clothes, trying very hard to look different and scorning those who don't follow them while still not looking good.

Sure, I have a pair of black square-toed Kenneth Cole shoes, several stripey shirts that I wear untucked with my 7's and PDC's. You got a problem with that bro?

I thought all of the AmJacks were saying "bra" now.

As for me, it's super casual day at the office, so I'm wearing a rugby shirt, jeans, and my Rod Lavers. I think this puts me in the preppy category, rather than AmJack. However, the jeans are by Diesel, so I'm close to the line.

Guess that's why I'm only a little AJ

Actually, I can't really see myself using either of those phrases - just not my style.

I have my moments. A few weeks ago in Boston went up with the "bros" to do a little clubbing downtown. Wore my slim fit CT shirt untucked of course, dark Diesel jeans, and Hugo Boss loafers. Drank Belvedere Tonics and did a few Jaeger shots when bought for me. Danced the whole night with lots of women and had a blast. I wanted to be comfortable when I was out on the floor. I certainly didn't want to be the stuffy old guy worrying more about what he looks like than having a good time while standing in the corner watching the people dance.

I have a grey ax cotton beanie that has the words "ax", "armani", and "exchange" written on it in indecipherable graffiti (scrawled upside down, backwards, sloppily etc.) No one has ever been able to read it. Is that amjack? I like wearing it because it doesn't mess up my hair like wool hats. Plus it seems to have an intimidating effect on people, which is weird because I'm a very non-intimidating person. Also it distracts the eye, so it is very rare that anyone I know recognizes me when I wear it, it's like an invisibility cloak when you want some anonymity.
