I've been trying no cop (is it too late to join?). its only been about a week or so but im surprised how much I've noticed having a bit of extra cash. went to Tokio 7 and found some awesome shit but realized I really wanted them because it was more collectable pieces and not because i had a gap in m...

TFW your TB cardigan is prob too small.

fuck it dat pee wee style

first went into an acne store when i was really really up into the american workwear look (blue in green is across the way and to this day i can't go to one store without going to the other. the juxtaposition is jarring but its a great counterpoint. i know they didn't plan it that way but its cool a...

From the wiki entry on " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taste_(sociology) " Fashion in a Kantian sense is an aesthetic phenomenon and source of pleasure. For Kant, the function of fashion was merely a means of social distinction, and he excluded fashion from pure aesthetics because of its co...

went to Tokio 7 this weekend. i usually end up going on Fridays after work because my GF has a late shift and I have a few hours to myself. Found some real interesting CDG and yohji pieces. tried them all on. but didn't buy anything. http://nerdcoretheology.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/cate-blanchett...

on 1Q84. its my first murakmi book and i liked the style but it was crazy boring. plus there were too many anime-ish elements to it. is that how he rolls? maybe i wont like his other books altho people say his other stuff is awesome. im reading the New York Trilogy. anyone else read it? i think im g...

bromptons are the gold standard of folding bikes

dahon bikes are cool too

neither are particularly cheap.

rose what do you do that you're so balling out of reasonable control parameters

im prob in the minority but i dont like geometric work. its very fine and i cant imagine it will age well. plus, unless it nods towards an older tradition, i feel it will be subject to the whims of graphic design. just my two cents

Should the value of a tattoo be solely in the eye of the owner? Super complicated question. Just like with clothing tattoos can be signals that have vastly different meanings for owner versus viewer. Ultimately, I wouldn't get anything that would actually hurt someone or a group of people (the only...

You can look some up in forums or magazines. Scope out shops and dig through the artists' books. You'll eventually find an artist whose style you like. after that its a lot of trust. you have to trust the artist to take your idea and make it work. often times this will mean totally re-doing whatever...

Is it dumb that I'm worried about potential future employers//eventually not wanting the thing on me anymore? I'm 22 and fickle... theres many job areas that are cool with tatts. i've actually been told by coworkers to SHOW my tatts, as it lends an air of edginess. i work in advertising so being se...

i like small shitty tatts. on friday the 13th two weeks ago i stood in line for about two hours to get a shitty $13 tatt. alas i wasn't able to. i sometimes cringe at really artsy/designed tatts because for me tatts should be rough and gritty.

In this topic we talk about tatts. I'm a huge fan of American traditional style. I love the look, the lines, the history. http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/fb/aa/64/fbaa642a71a28098862d69631a5ff41a.jpg http://media.tumblr.com/c3e538733c1b02f0a922a35d65da6596/tumblr_inline_mt76jzD8qZ1qad51s.jpg ...

dwindles i got a few tatts but there's several big pieces i'd like to finally get done. i estimate each large piece will be in the 550-700 range.

just got back from my trip. it was great. really helped me refocus my attention and put things in perspective. some fashion thoughts: Paris wasn't as fashionable as I remember, but it was still somewhat forward looking and very "European". Compare that to UK fashion which is much more alon...

love it. cdg has this awesome geometric language that only rei knows. she makes the human form a wall from which she hangs the art of her clothing. although i sort of wish she focused more on one or two shapes rather than such a wide range.

heh thanks i'm channeling my inner ken watanabe. shoe options? also what are peoples thoughts on the mid sesction? smiles says a longer shirt which i'm not opposed to. this thing has belt loops but im not sure what kind of belt does it justice. i cant be wearing a sash. that's one step away from wea...

feeltalk time feelbros. my gf and i argue a lot about my clothing choices. its a lil ironic because i think shes actually quite a stylish person. there's lots of weird baggage around it but it comes down to: 1) she thinks im dressing up to get attention from the opposite sex 2) she thinks my clothes...

germ how did you start talking to her? just email through a website or something? really impressed actually at how nicely these pieces are translating onto "real" bodies. the ribbed/pleated (?) shirt is stunning. how are we seeing a "used future" in this, however? honest question

tpaine this is fucking radical.

when/where'd you get the suit?

also, what are your thoughts? quality? feel? fit? do you have suspenders? what do you think of rise? etc. dish, girlfriend, dish

Odradek, thanks for the link. DFW is a master. Notice how in just the first page he sets up the depression. The main character's parents won't pay for her braces. That's it. But it's a great way to frame the depression, tying it to something rather mundane. i like that first line about the table. Ho...

http://www.rogermarket.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Cathedral.jpg his writing is very terse and tight. a bunch of short stories, most of which are very depressing. there's one story that i literally couldn't read but in pieces. i dont know if its the cover but it has a very 80s feel to every...

i guess because of the shoes and outwear. broguing is very UK, so is barbour. hunter boots. tweed. some of the suitting and ties.

yea streetwear is def US.

my avatar is scary. thanks ben

I AM SO IN. LETS FUCKING DO THIS. I've only written two short stories, and they're both garbage. I was a socialogy major in college so i didn't read a lot of the "classics". The last year i've been trying to read a lot of staples - hemingway, fitzgerald - and lately i've moved to reading m...

Bela, Syek - I was struck by how similar the US/UK culture was. The TV programing, the packaged foods, the ubiquitous advertising, the clothes, the heavy drinking. I wondered actually how much we (the US) was learning from the UK and vice versa. I think that the US is learning about menswear from th...

Sorry, "European" is a bad descriptor. The style was more "forward contemporary". Slim suiting, less earthy colors. Very "The Kooples." UK had more "tradition". Brogue shoes. Barbour. I felt UK and US was drawing from the same pool of flintstone, while France ...
