Calvin, I personally didn't think it looked very good. It's not like it's "creative" or anything. I thought most clothes with skulls were lame 2 years ago when they were popular. I think by saying it's textbook amjack was a response to the other poster acting like it was really original. He was just pointing out that people who he doesn't really respect stylewise make similar clothing choices.
Bingo. I'm actually a bit of a pirate enthusiast (no joke) and really love reading both its historical and fictional aspects, especially treasure diving. But then came along Jackass, Pirates VI: the Return of Johnny Depp's Evil Twin, etc. and it absolutely killed anything remotely "pirate" for me and that includes anything with the Jolly Roger on it. By "textbook Amjack" I literally meant: this.
Whodini. I still think the jeans are more short than "cleaner because they don't stack" like you claimed last time you posted them. Especially with slip ons like that they look a little bit off because of your more casual style. I think GS gets away with it because he wears them almost as slacks and usually with dress shoes, plus it kind of suits his ensembles. For the casual, slightly western/LA look you generally go for, it just isn't that complimentary. I don't really care for "stacking" but just a slight break..
I still don't agree. Standing straight the bottom of the hem is literally a half inch off the ground. The hem's not exactly dior 19 or NC status so I think any more inches and I'd have to have the inseam shortened so they wouldn't drag anchor or bring in the hem so they'd stack (which I wouldn't if I didn't already have jeans that stack). It's also a moot point as they're still stretching out and will eventually be worn lower on my waist.
Crates seem a little short but still a good fit, and the choker isn't really working here. It's kind of distracting.
I wear it tucked for the exact same reason. I left the choker out for the shot.
I personally like the very little break who has on his crates. I much prefer it to cuffs, that's for sure.
Whodini, my old Crates look great on you . Funny how quickly things change hands around here. I personally think that your look is much cleaner without the stacking.
