what's the origin of the phrase "cop" ? From dictionary.com: verb (used with object), copped, copping. Informal . 1. to catch; nab. 2. to steal; filch. 3. to buy (narcotics). 1695-1705; compare cap (obsolete) to arrest, Scots cap to seize ≪ dialectal Old French caper to take, ultimately <...

Just ctrl-click (or cmd-click on a McIntosh) on your laptop. The only people who have excuses here are phone and tablet users, who are screwed by the forum layout anyway.

I do think bela should add descriptions though

Wardrobe idea: have totally exclusive winter and summer wardrobes, only purchasing things for the other wardrobe while it's the other season (trying things on, but no more). It would force more conceptual and cohesive building, not to mention encourage secondhand purchases and perhaps a more cohesiv...

Have been trying looser tees for that #comfy jizz, but I have very little confidence when I'm wearing them. I think it might be because of my height, but regardless of how muscular I am or how it actually looks, I feel like a waif. It's fitted tees or button-ups from here, folks. Oversized sweatshir...

Originally talked about college in the school thread, but I'm feeling more feely now. College visits were cool, decided I definitely don't want to live in rural Maine for 4 years and drink my ass off, even though Colby is great otherwise. The decision is then between a full ride to the school in my ...

When you pin then hem your pants and they're somehow still a bit too long

Will be at Northeastern with my dad on Tuesday, no time to do much but lunch. Where should we eat? At an NEU dining hall for the full experience? Tasty Burger? I heard Symphony Sushi might be okay.

Got denied or waitlisted at all of my "reach" colleges, currently waiting on financial aid from Northeastern. If I don't get off the waitlist at UChicago, it's between a state school, Colby and Northeastern. Looks like financial aid will be good at all 3, so it might come down to the visit...

mike868y if you're a small person, even a small vintage one will be somewhat baggy - cool if you want something more relaxed. if you're larger and you want a slimmer fit, you can size down on vintage - they actually come in "long" variants sometimes. if you're small and you want a slimmer...

Have been folding my shirts like for about a year now, would recommend for efficiency + impressing friends.

Tenue de Nims co-owner Rene Strolenberg: http://i.imgur.com/iamNOrw.jpg As a store owner/proprietor/semi-working-class-craftsman-type, he seems to occupy the same homage niche, the lab coat portraying the intersection between practicality and intellectualism that appeals to his Amsterdam customers.

The hell is this http://www.grailed.com/listings/10089-material-boy-tale-of-seven-sweat I guess it indeed was some exclusive thing for Seven (now closed), but the price drop is pretty funny - I would be very interested to see how someone who would pay retail for that would dress. You know it would b...

bela My hypothesis: when stiff cotton is wet, it has a slight tendency to stick to itself, and the enclosed space of a washing machine, especially with the pressure of other clothes, can cause it to stay stuck in the same way for the duration of the cycle. Fabric has a greater tendency to lose dye ...

Just realized that, unlike every other pair I've seen, my Stans neither say "Stan Smith" on the heel nor have Mr. Smith's visage on the tongue. Does anyone know anything about the discrepancy?

Not quite where I am with my style right now, but this sort of techwear feels very natural to me, unlike the stark black monochromatism of some contemporary techwear styling. http://i.imgur.com/QVuLwIq.jpg Undercover A/W 2007 In related news, all my style aspirations would work better if I were Japa...

vgtbls I feel like it needs higher-fashion pairings to actually look good - you just look like a road worker with the flannel and jeans. EDIT: "Higher-fashion" is sort of nebulous, sorry. Some very deliberately streetwear-y or slouchy stuff layered around it would make it more interesting...

All about that scaling

Just got some new Stans on the 'bay for $45. I don't feel like I'm buying into the hype because they'll fit well with my wardrobe and I honestly haven't seen any irl in the last 2 years. Relatedly, if you guys don't use Gixen for eBay(to avoid 4 am bidding, perhaps?), you should check it out. Snipin...

Tricker's x Six Whiting Street

Really liking these - somewhat chunky, but sleek all the same, like wholecut NB 420s or something. $180 and shipping from Japan is keeping me from really considering them, though.

Too bad I'm not a large - someone here had better buy this and report back.

ryan_firecrotch I agree - I think after a certain point, bagginess doesn't translate to more comfortability. Skinny pants are often less comfortable (to varying degrees based on fabric), but I think your last pic there is about where bagginess stops feeling better and becomes more of an aesthetic c...

Fantastic thread. Not sure where half of this stuff is from, but it's basically my inspo folder - muted colors and ample cuts. http://i.imgur.com/jgJ8stM.jpg http://i.imgur.com/RU8sRHh.png http://i.imgur.com/tJklBS4.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ftrAAdc.jpg http://i.imgur.com/4ijR1Pa.jpg http://i.imgur.com...
