(Old) What Are You Wearing Now/Today? Part II - pictures only - no discussion

SoCal2NYC · Nov 10, 2007

Burberry Prorsum oxblood leahter utility coat with fox fur hood
Louis Vuitton grey l/s tshirt
Thom Browne cashmere mittens
Jil Sander jeans
Marc Jacobs grey wool/cream suede/red trim sneakers
Stowa Ikarus Airman

The Lanvin jacket is a 52 and I will say that in that pic the low button stance and the size of my chest give me a rooster like shape. The looking down angle doesn't help. I'll try to find one from the event.

Don't worry, sauce and poly, i'm not coming to philly anytime soon. I'm actually soaking the pbjs i'm wearing now, but my hot water heater sucks. It started off as a hot soak but will end a really lukewarm soak.

Alright, i'm definitely going to cut the fingers off my cheap army surplus black wool gloves. At least to give it a try on something cheap. Nice boots.

Oh man, I think I know that coat, and I want it. So expensive though. Man, stupid USD. I need to keep more money in my Canadian account.

Chronoaug, cool picture. You look like you're coming out of a dream.
gdl, that IWC is to die for. Really beautiful.

Who cares what other people on the street think anyway?

I dunno, I get a fair amount of people asking what I'm doing. I usually just say working on a photo-project

I guess it also depends where. By my dorm, people ask, but they know me, more or less. On the T or the platforms, people ignore you as much as possible, so if people notice, they are silent.

Honestly, my biggest worry is that I will set some the camera somewhere with the timer, and when I turn around some douchebag will snatch it and run. Maybe that's a bad mindset, though.

Plus, I do most of my sf-reading through the "new posts" filter rather than topic-by-topic, so I read your Gold Coast post no more than 10 minutes before I posted that.

Makes sense.

chrono, that's a bad-ass picture. Cool sweater too.

Get Smart, it kinda looks what an old man who'll still kick your ass would wear.

SoCal, fine until the fur hood. Hunt that down and kill it.

Chris, those boots are sex.

Today:

Rye- The Sword is one of my favorite bands to come out in ages. Solid, solid, solid stoner nerd rock. Currently: "No Pun Intended" by the Hives (on a cold, rainy day I might add. Central America isn't supposed to be like this...) Here's my attempt to dress more like Faceman.

I think that jeans with a bigger hem call for chunkier footwear. I prefer Nike Blazers or light colored Chucks, which are not really chunky but contrast and stand out from the larger hem. But if you are not into this, or are smarting from getting criticism from your Nike's from last time, something like Redwings would work as well. Redwings would also work well here with the outdoorsy feel of the Nicholas K jacket.
I actually agree when looking at the picture. It looks good from the top but a little mismatched from further away (taking pictures definitely changes perspective...). You're also right that I was not going to post chunky Nike in this thread again... Don't shoot me but I really dislike Redwings so that's not an option for me

Thanks. Please skip Poljot altogether. Really very poorly made watches. Stowa is a good buy

Do it!

I suppose it might depend on where you live. I guess I need to remind myself that LA is a different animal. I've even taken shots of myself on busy streets with my Nikon D50 sitting on a frikken tripod. People are oblivious. I've never had anyone say anything yet, though I don't do it very often.

Jeans look fantastic. Cool look too.

stuartSan · Nov 10, 2007

A few pages back, Rye posted about disliking the mainstream, generally, and preferring streetwear over business wear, and I'm like that too.

The only problem was him wanting people not to judge him because he doesn't wear coats or slacks.

As much as I prefer streetwear myself, a formal Rye will always command a better first impression than a streetwear Rye. I guess that's just how we've been programmed for 2000 years. You know, the part about survival depending on judging people crap.

BTW, is there a name for that triangle design w/ a round dots on each side that is above the IWC insignia? Posting responses to kali77's inquiry earlier this morning, I noticed a great many (BP "homage") watches share that detail and was just wondering about it myself.

I read that you had bad experiences w/ Poljot, hence this sentiment. I like them just fine though, and their quality is decent for the asking price, as long as you purchase them through reputable sources. On Stowas, no matter how much their classic design appeals to my taste, I just can't get over the painted-on / toyish dial.

See that you don't.

It looks great, man!

Sometimes I find back alleys or deserted streets (see today). Sometimes I have to break out the ninja skills. But mostly I just don't give a ****.

Today, absolutely no color at all, sorry GS:

Scarf
Rokara jacket
Some gray l/s thermal shirt
Levis 514 gray cords
eBay combat boots
