Hello, my name is Darren Davis.

Born in West Bromwich, England in 1970.

Moved to San Francisco in 1993.

My love of clothes grew out of the Football/Casual movement in the 80's and I haven't looked back since.

Glad to have found this site and look forward to using it forthwith and into the future.

Hey there, SF! I'm a 19-year-old man living in Singapore, currently 30 weeks into their National Service. In the past two years that I've decided to take fashion seriously, I have not developed my personal style yet, but I'm starting off by building a wardrobe from the essentials. When that is done, I'll begin to branch out to braver ventures. My shopper's philosophy, as of now, is to "cry once or buy twice". I signed up primarily to purchase a pair of CPs Original Achilles Low from a member here, but since I've already invested so much time in fashion, I'm hoping to be an active member of the fashion community, starting with Styleforum.

My other love of my life is music. I hope to listen to great music and to make great music. My taste in music is hugely varied, ranging from hip-hop to electronic to noise to metal to ambient to almost everything else and all their offshoots. I'm a percussionist and I mainly play on the drum set, but lack of money and time has prevented me from being able to practice my chops.

Hello all,

My name is Eric. Taking a vested interested in how I dress has been a very recent development for me. It suppose it was a combination of turning 30 and getting back into shape that inspired this. While I'd like to say I have a sense of personal fashion, I do rely on outside opinions and sources greatly. I started picking up copies of GQ (which I recently discovered catches a lot of flak here on this site) because I do honestly like some of the looks that they feature. I do like the no-show sock and naked ankle look, but then again I have no fundamental base knowledge of fashion to work from. It's a very intimidating world for me and I suppose the best way to start would be with the basics. I'm thinking about purchasing a staple navy blue blazer. I live in Texas so I need something with lightweight fabric. I'm also on a budget. I'm not looking to spend more than $300-$400. What's your opinion on the J.Crew Ludlow blazers? Any help would be appreciated. Also if you could point me in any direction to start building any sartorial knowledge for a beginner I would be extremely grateful.

Thanks again!

Eric

William,

Born in Europe, moved to the great North West 20 years ago. Fell in love with denim after meeting a random stranger at the airport. I'm currently sewing my own denim jeans and looking to learn as much as possible.

hi all im BoiToi, a middle aged woman from portland who found this site after looking for a suit to get married in. hope everyone can help!

 

[maryserv]

Hi y'all,
I'm maryserv from the Houston, Texas area. Getting back into the fashion game after many years in different industries. I "dress" my husband of course, but I'm back to dressing and offering advice to men via my new business with a men's direct sales company.

I think that fashion should be comfortable and the person choosing and wearing it should be able to express their personality instead of someone else's. Reading many of the posts on here makes me think there are a LOT of like-minded folks.

I look forward to what I can learn from you all!

Hi, My name is Anthony and I have started enjoying some of the great finds I've come across in thrift shops, closeouts, etc. I initially came here to try and learn to identify the best stuff. So far, I'm learning that and much more. It's awesome to see some of the clothing combinations on here!

hi,

name is mike and i live in the american southwest. i've used styleforum as a research spot on several occasions and figured there was no harm in actually joining.

 

[Joe-Costello]

Hi I'm Joe. I've alway come across the forum when I goggles topics regarding various aspects of menswear and finally decided to join. It might sound cliche but I really the whole Steve McQueen look and I'm trying to incorporate some of his most iconic pieces into my wardrobe. I also like the syle David beckahm incorporated while he was in the states.

 

[LLPeen]

Hi all,
Soon to be a freshman in college in the Midwest. I've been lurking for about a year and I figured I might as well make an account if I ever wanted to use B&S/Marketplace. (Hopefully some of these TOJs that everyone seems to be ordering go up in a few months). As a younger member, I'm on more of a budget than other posters so I'm all about deep sales, etc. Looking forward to learning! I might even post once in a while if y'all can put up with it.

 

[mrod1108]

I'm Michael Rodriguez and I have referred to your fine site to get answers to questions involving on-line tailors. In hindsight I would not have ordered an on-line measure suit because of my pet peeve regarding collar gap.

I'm a mid-westerner, born and raised with a wife a couple of kids. I wear suits at work and more interested in looking stylish that I'd admit in any other context.

 

[Roger la Rock]

G'day,

I'm from Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. Been lurking for a while, thought it was about time I made an account.
