Random fashion thoughts

[lmaozedong]

I just bought my first pair of Aldens. Am I condemned to wearing 7 inch cuffs and calling random strangers uncle?

Oh, also, does anyone have any licorice recommendations? Of all types, but particularly salmiakki-style fish. Gimme the good stuff, the hard-hitters, the candies that drip with anise and licorice root and other herbaceous goodness.

Ask NOBD to send you some.

Want to buy a Margiela tuxedo and wear it in a sort of louche fashion. Good idea/Bad idea?

This summer I am doing that but with Moccs/Espadrilles and with 2 piece wool suit

The more I wear virgin wool pants, the more I question the need for any of my jeans

People are asking with regards to the taper on chinos and jeans. Those seem like the most simple measurements in the world. We're not talking about anatomically distorted artisanal jackets.

also the worst thing about the alden thread, other than that creepy uncle ****, is the jeans the dudes wear. all are unworn raw selvedge with 7" inch cuffs. ugh.

I'm completely misinformed on this subject, but is there not a popular retailer of Alden in Hawaii? could it be these people use uncle (do they say cuz too?) like "we" SWD crowd use bro etc? I am pretty sure that is just a term of respect for elders in Hawaii

Eh, a truly random thought

that's not why they use uncle. they use uncle because there's old guy with like 50,000 pairs of aldens who they all 'respect'.

rft: i wish i had parents that gave me any sort of financial support. i mean yea i guess it's a little gratifying not to be supported by my parents, but if i had a choice i'd love extra money

He thats the only logical explanation that comes to mind

Do you have a recommendation? I have the Leopold Bros in my liquor cabinet, but I would love to try the Pacific sometime.

Alden is like the holy grail shoes here in Indonesia, along with the americana/heritage stuff. Really, I don't understand why. It's been going strong for a few years and still growing, it's that late compared to Japan. The sad thing is that great number of copycats show up utilizing bad quality leathers and ****** shapes. And the fact that most wearers are skinny 5' 5" wearing skinny selvedge jeans doesn't help.

yeah you're overthinking only way to get over it is wear them

haha yeah true. I dont know why i feel so awkward this time round, ive gone through 3 pairs of raw jeans in the past but its only now I feel weird in these brand new ones. they just dont seem to look good with anything.

Maybe i am just used to my old beat up jeans and cbf going through the wear and tear process now. Ill probably just use them as house lounging pants for the mean time.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

damnit ebay buyers buy or pay up if you already bought ma ****

i need to pay for stuff on BS!!

Hate people who negotiate a **** ton then get their price then disappear. Then ******* message like two weeks later saying oops actually I want to buy it now then flake again

Just bought a new pair of raw denims and my gawd I feel so awkward in them.

I dont mind the stiffness but its the dark blue color. I feel like a total stiff in them and dont feel like I look right in them

I never recalled feeling this way when my old jeans were new.

Help! Even wearing a standard white T shirt makes me feel awkward in them.

Has anyone had this issue?

I find myself going back to my old jeans

Sleep in them for two weeks and man up

measurements don't always tell the whole story. sometimes the cut of a piece can make it fit differently than you would anticipate based on measurements.

Yeah pretty much want to try on everything I buy these days

Licorice is disgusting. Just sayin',

Amen
