Even a $200 suit you bought at Target will suffer from repeated drenchings in rainwater.

WWCD (What Would Clooney Do). Learn it. Live it. End thread.

It was pretty showery ( though not absolutely bucketing down ) today here in Germany. I had to walk to the gym for once, since I've sold my car about one week ago and will have to wait for the delivery of the new one till next week, wore a water-repellent Statson trilby, a Burberry trench, rubber-soled Tiger Of Sweden boots and came off more or less dry... =)

This is more like it.

nevermind about the ventile pants i mentioned earlier. Just read that they're only waterproof for awhile, but then turn in to sponges and take days to dry.

You really missed my point.

I ask myself "What Would Diddy Do?" And then order my manservant to bring the umbrella from the Rolls

I like to run in slow motion with Oh Yeah by Yello playing in the background.

what about my hair, asshole?

I'd say a Mac, but I'd much rather have a hood than carry an umbrella.

I wear a trench, jeans and my RM Williams ankle boots. I'm good enough with a full length umbrella to keep myself and the nearest girl dry.

Internet toughguyery on a fashion forum???

Anyways you can't go wrong w/a nice fitting trench and some decent waterproof footwear... beyond that it's up to you

lol. So it's now cool/manly to get your head, clothes wet and feet/shoes soaked? The **** is wrong with people? In college if i was just going to class i'd wear ****** sneakers/clothes i didn't care about, an umbrella and just move quickly. I don't have to make long commutes on foot in the rain but i still want some rain stuff like maybe a patagonia type hooded rain jacket, maybe some sneaks or boots that don't have to be made for standing in big puddles but better than normal sneakers and stuff like that. I do sometimes have to go places when it's raining where i don't want to show up looking like a wet dog and feeling ****** the entire time at the event because my shoes/shirt/hair/pants are soaked. Wind in boston is often too high to make umbrellas worth the hassle
