Random Fashion Thoughts (Part 3: Style farmer strikes back) - our general discussion thread

[Parker]

What about slacks? I like the term slacks.

Whenever people on SF (almost always CM dorks) call pants “strides”, “trew”, or “pents” a part of me dies inside

Same for me when people use the term "maiden voyage" for the first time they wear something.

what about 'test flight'?

So, yesterday I went to a store that carries JMM and I tried them on. Holy hell, I have never tried any glasses that looks worse on me (I have a narrow face which doesn’t help). Regis looks so fly and I look like a try hard and I’m pretty sad about it.

Conversely, tried on a pair of vintage NOS aviators from the 50s that looked pretty sweet. Really expensive though. (Are vintage NOS frames expensive, period?).

Do you remember which model you tried on?

 

[Kaplan]

Can't you get something just like these from American Optics or Randolph Engineering? (I have a pair of RE in gun metal with the bayonet temples and both the Grey and the AGX Green lenses, easily exchanged. Pretty satisfied with those.)

Btw, that's a very nice suit, shirt, tie combo.

A bunch and they all looked like garbage on me.

However, I’m a swagless white dude.

Honestly, price was not that different between RE and vintage NOS. I think the vintage draw is that it is kind of cool. Ultimately, I walked away without them.

And thanks about the suit combo! Kind of my daily outfit lately.

That's a nice suit. Who made it?

 

[Newcomer]

Sartoria Carrera, it’s currently available at everyone’s favorite etailer.
