I only shave my beard every couple weeks so I hit it with short clippers before I shave.

*wealthy #menswear guy posts about millenials whining on his Curated Instagram*

As someone who falls in-between the groups, I don't know if I find anti-millennial or anti-boomer posts worse. Almost like any attempt to generalize an entire generation of people is going to be more wrong than right. Unless you're saying, "Those damn millennials and their constant need to breathe oxygen."

Looks as though you are starting a Sideshow Bob hairstyle.

Well, I also have the gigantic feet, so I figure that look works for me.

This was prob asked a million times, but any reccs for a bag that could double as diaper bag? It has to have pockets i guess, and not weigh a ton. Anyone? Thanks.

over the years various people have recommended Brady or Chapman fishing bags as diaper bags, including Putthison. this sort of thing, though this isn't my favorite color
option:

and Putthison also has recommended Carhartt or Klein tool bags, like

To be fair, boomers ******* suck

Generations are relatively useless sociological concepts (their possible meaningful usage is very narrow) and ABSOLUTELY misleading pop-sociological ones. Boomers aren't anything except an age group.

Good to know that Teger is still as rosy and cheerful as ever.

I believe what that quotations is supposed to convey is the fact that fashion had to change anyway because it was unsustainable so you shouldn't go all apeshit about the coronavirus making your industry change.

lmao, something I love about using a Carhartt toolbag as a diaper bag.

it lacks basic empathy for the hundreds of thousands of people losing their jobs and livelihood because of the virus, instead casting their suffering as growing pains typical of any industry. I do hope all the small shops that laid off their employees can take comfort in the knowledge that they were part of needed change.

The solution is to equally hate everybody.

I don't have any experience with needing to carry a diaper bag, so can't really speak from experience. But Pete and Jesse are fathers and they recommended the bags posted above.

Alex Grant, who used to maintain a menswear blog, has also said he uses a helmet bag as a "dad bag." I don't know if this also means using it to carry diapers, but maybe something to consider. You can find cheap versions of this online or at milsurp stores for about $20 to $40. Upscale Japanese versions are also available from brands like Porter. From what I can tell, the difference is mostly in the material. The cheap version is a bit stiff and utilitarian, while the upscale version is made from a softer fabric.
