If you are there I am leaving.

LOL

We all know that CTK has to cope with learning disabilities...

Plus we all know beneath Uncontrol's rough Final Fantasy 'Maximillian' body armor actually beats a heart of gold...

Jimi Hendrix was in my dream last night, he said 'get high and watch family guy'. So I did.

Kind of wish I could be a fly on the wall at this nyc meetup.

LIFESTYLE PICS

You will most likely hate the majority of what I am about to post. Yes, I am posting it anyway for your sartorial enjoyment.

I recently returned from my annual Tahoe New Years trip and while I wasn't taking "fit pics" throughout the trip, I do have a number of shots that show what I was wearing. Most outfits are extremely bad, on purpose, for various theme nights. Flame away.


Upon arrival at the cabin. We got there first, hence the photo. This is, I think, the only serious outfit I wore the entire trip. Jacket is from UO ( ); shirt/jeans/boots are Epaulet. Car in background is what I drive when the weather isn't good enough for the Fiat. Outfitted w/ snow tires for Tahoe. Didn't have to put chains on once.


Snow gear. Awful circa-2003 stuff that needs to be replaced. However, I think I have done a pretty good job of matching to my car and the surroundings in this shot.

When I see people who live in areas that get regular snow posting actual fits on a daily basis, it absolutely astounds me. When you're traipsing through 2-3 feet of powder, how can you not be wearing what I'm wearing here, along with the biggest, ugliest boots conceivable. The lack of any coherent consensus in Uncontrol's winter boots thread totally makes sense to me now. Almost all of the locals in Tahoe appear to have given up on style, and it would seem, with good reason, too.


Duck night. We ate duck, and it was fantastic. Shirt & pants are Epaulet; tie is Brooks Brothers, Shoes are Bass, vest is vintage of unknown origin. I have no explanation for what my friend is wearing here other than that the tie was labeled "Ducks Unlimited."


1980s night. My outfit was an attempted approximation of the ski patrol dicks from Hot Tub Time Machine


the sock tuck is really essential to this fit


Caribbean night. This shirt is legitimately from the Caribbean and was purchased by my dad in the late 70s/early 80s. I'm actually surprised how often I find reasons to wear it.


keeping it classy on NYE


shot of all the guys on NYE. We had a Mad Men/cocktail night theme going on.

Anyway, I really think I need to upgrade my snow gear. I'm not sure where to look first as most of the places that actually provide rugged pieces that provide real warmth & functionality have really, really boring stuff. I also believe this look is due for a serious comeback, but don't know where to source:


(not me obviously, but it was the best fit from the entire trip and too good not to post)

I predict much awkwardness from the newcomers. That being said, I'd still probably roll through if I was in NYC.

I'm growing it out right now but plan to have it taken way in on the sides & in the back soon. Last cut was supposed to be more extreme but it wasn't long enough on top yet. I think it was probably still left too long on the sides as they appear pretty thick.

But what are your thoughts?

Thanks! Found them on my grandparents attic. Probably from the 50s or so, very steezy indeed.

I might be more or less in to SVB's stuff if I knew if he were "fabulous" or not.

Would like to see this from a different angle, but I think I like it.

Try something that doesn't make you look like Kenneth from 30 Rock.
