Random fashion thoughts - Part II (A New Hope)

[nahneun]



To put into perspective, most men have about 2.5 Terabytes of Appreciation.

apparently, mr. moo's tastes in Appreciation range from softcore vanilla to really esoteric **** that not even the japanese could dream up.

Maybe not the right topic but I'm looking for a very specific item from dries from SS16
It's a pair of trousers
Cut: peeler
Fabric code: 1345 (black)
And in size 46

Any idea which shop could have it? Open to anywhere in the world (tried already flagship stores in Paris and Antwerp, + some online places)

Try the Dries thread my friend! http://www.styleforum.net/t/381876/dries-van-noten

The problem with the bolded part is that you are just associating trendiness with social circles that you don't respect, whereas in reality, it's part of every social circle.

To different degrees yea, wasn't hating on trend chasing, just trying to give a different perspective on hypebeasts and the like, as opposed to calling them boring like the article did.

must be that 4k quality that takes up so much space

 

[Mr. Moo]

Well I mean, obviously most of my collection has been remastered in 4k at this time. But I have - of course - kept the original files as well. Much like the LP vs CD discussion, sometimes there is no substitute for the original.

As for my tastes, well.... let's just say that Uncle Nephew is not only on point, but also the title of one of my many, many well organized and curated folders.

Thinking about picking up this "Minotaur Wrinkles Jacket." It's made from a wrinkled nylon fabric that's made to look like it's been left out in the rain. It's quite an awesome fabric, feels like a stiff cotton, not nylon - matte, dry hand. Was made for some space-related purpose, I guess. Actually a pretty cool brand that makes some rather attractive looking tech items: https://www.minotaur.co.jp/

Two things:

1.) I don't like the cuff strap and buttons. However, since it's nylon, I can't take the buttons off without leaving a hole. Any ideas?
2.) Black or natural?

Pics of a blue one:

blue > natural > black

 

[nicelynice]

I wear blue jeans a lot, blue is too matchy-matchy

 

[t3hg0suazn]

natural, embrace the cuffs

 

[nicelynice]

What is the point of those cuffs? Does anyone use them???

Sometimes there's another button to help tighten the cuff, but it's mostly just for decoration. Not all raincoats have them, FWIW.

 

[Rais]

That one he posted looks to have the second button for adjustment. I use mine on my Issey trench sometimes.
I'd pass on it, looks like a nylon coat that's been put in a hot wash too many times. H&M has a very similar one out right now, sans cuff straps.

 

[ghostface]

yeah, looks like a pretty standard mac. unless the fabric just blows you away in person, it's hard to see the particular appeal.

minotaur stuff looks cool in general, though i wish their long jackets were...8-10" longer. even the pockets look like they'd be hard to get your hands into without bending your elbows a lot.

All my coats already look like that.

If you strap the cuffs the other way around they opening will be tighter.
