More Black Fleece, except the chinos which are Outlier. Parents left today so I promise no more Black Fleece for a while.

[starfox64]

your parents are big thom fans or what?

[thomaspaine]

It's just that when they're in town I have more of an excuse to wear it.

My step dad hates Thom, or he would if he knew who he was. He's always complaining about suits these days being too slim and short, he's a real trad Brooks Brothers kind of guy. But I think he pretends to like it because at least I'm still dressed up.

[thomaspaine]

Let's just say my parents see it as an improvement over my pre-fashion attempts to dress up



Long hair not pictured. I had it tied back into a ponytail though because I thought it'd be classier.

[starfox64]

I always like seeing old pics of you. Or really anyone when they were dorkier looking. Myself including, despite the embarrassment.

There was a pretty funny thing I read a while ago (I think in GQ but I don't remember) about a guy wearing Thom Browne suits around and just feeling the disdain that everyone had for him (whether said disdain was real or imagined was unclear).

Do they sell Black Fleece at BB in SF or do you buy it online?

[thomaspaine]

The BB in downtown SF just started carrying it, but there's a standalone black fleece boutique in pacific heights.

[bels]

It was GQ yeah starfox, I mentioned it on the previous page.

Thomaspaine, Are you saying you had pressure from your parents to dress better?

[thomaspaine]

Nah they never really cared, it was more of a welcome surprise.

[can-]

is that a button down rugby?

[thomaspaine]

[teck]

found some fucking awesome cdg pants shorts thing. shirt is yohji. the bow tie can't be removed, nor can it be tied. cdg play shoes.





what is the sound of one penguin clapping

[bels]

I think maybe the shirt is too long but I dunno. I like where you're going with this eitherway.

[thomaspaine]

Whoa dude you look like an egg. Or a penguin, like when I imagine you walking in this you're doing some kind of waddle.

[teck]

yea usually with shirt i wear a black blazer, which is oversized but maybe helps streamline things. the shirt is mad billowy

[can-]

really excellent shape teck. should try it w black derbz or something

[thomaspaine]

Black derbys + unstructured blazer would be A+

[smiles]

whats the material on those pants teck?

[teck]

its polyester. i think it helps with the drape, strangely, although it doesn't breathe as well. good thing they're basically pantaloons. they have a very fine pinstripe. cinch waist

[Syeknom]

The trousers are the best bit teck, really good. You look a bit like a sumo wrestler going to the bank.

Shoes are the weak point here, feel like creepers/black derbies/ann d would be the way to go.

Yohji and you are a really powerful pairing, keep at it bud.

looks good but needs more powerful stance.

Think for a man of your build, working with the mirror selfie you should try to adopt something like ben's basic "checking the phone whilst holding it low" 3/4 rotation and then try and move on from there.

[RycePooding]

maybe I should just have me gf take my photos, my mirror shots are always subpar


ben teach me ur ways

[Syeknom]

RycePooding this is great, you should tend an allotment in this

Who is the maker of the shirt?
