Border you're not all that off base, start low key and work up. Buying lots of expensive items in short periods of time when you're new to the game doesn't usually fare well for both your look and your wallet. Expensive clothes ≠ Well Dressed, 60% of the time, all the time.

As well, remember there's a scondhand market out there that could be worthlooking into.

white T/jeans/nice shoes is a winning combo if you're well built, probably going to be what I wear most during summer

erm no. I wasn't telling him that. I'm saying look at that **** for inspiration. He said that there is no point in him looking at uncontrol fits since he can't wear that ****, which is true. He posted a picture of a dude wearing an ill fitting button-up and some ****** jeans as what he was working towards. Wouldn't looking at how Kunk pulls off designer **** be way better than saying "I'm built, better just wear t-shirts." I'd say so. And that urban jacket looks fine, and would probably work for a muscular body type. Don't cop your whole steez from urban, but they still sell a decent amount of clothes that are perfectly fine.

Some of the best advice on there. I bought a bunch of ill fitting clothes when I first joined this forum, thank god they werent extremely expensive. After a few months and lurking around you get a sense of good fit (which did not have before). I sold my entire wardrobe and started over, again. UO is defiantly not a bad place to start though. Id go UO, Uniqlo, Zara for starters.

Use HOT water on a freshly washed, wet garment (just out of the spin cycle should be great)...I added some amount of salt as well and maybe a bit of white vinnegar (can't remember). I did it in a big bucket and agitated like crazy for a while but it still came out slightly splotchy although it is mostly visible on the inside. I am going to wash and dye it again at some point, and I will try using the laundry machine technique (but I need to do it at a friends who doesn't have crappy pay machines with no settings). Hopefully doing it again will preserve the color or make it a little darker but even it out somewhat.


Well the results are excellent.

Dunno, but it's good to have an insider at Odin.
