Clothes

[swears]

I have a plain black messenger bag I have to take to work, for lunches, books, etc... I don't really like carrying a bag around in general, tho. I was thinking of getting a briefcase, but maybe that's a bit much. My dad used to have one with a combination lock when I was little, that was pretty cool.

man i aspire to baglessness
but there's just too much shit to carry around (sunglasses, cell phone, notepad, pen, knife, binoculars, twelve-sided dice, etc)
i can get away with it in the cooler months what with jacket pockets but not in summer

Picked up a nice brown leather satchel / shoulder bag thing from a vintage shop at the weekend, solves the problem very nicely. Smart enough to carry while in work clothes but fairly neutral to go with more or less anything else.

anyone know the designer Hussein Chalayan?

the more out there stuff is not only weird, but well put together and genuinely new (to me at least). and the more ready to wear stuff is really cool.

no men's collections... shame

Go noir: trench coat, huge Fedora, black umbrella. Sorted.

 

[nochexxx]

perhaps i should just go for superimposed photoshop look. :slanted:

yeah a proper trench like le samourai

or like, the mackintosh duncan:

or baracuta g4
or a barbour beaufort

i suppose all of these jackets have different (strong) connotations for you british dissensians

but yeah, there's a ton of great rain gear out there

more modern stuff is great too
like arcteryx
or acronym:

i could go on

ugh... personally been hankering after this rag & bone anorak:

the black mac is beautiful. i have a barbour, its the recent bomber jacket style, lovely, but a bitch to keep waxed up and looking good.

yeah i've been after a mackintosh for a minute

i just rewaxed my barbour for the first time in... six years?
sent it away to a reproofer, had a hole mended, and it came back looking SERIOUS

There's this fabric called "technical tweed", sooner or later someone is going to use it for something stylish for city use (an image search for the term mostly leads to Horse&Hound types of clothes).

That Samourai style is really hard to pull off.

damn technical tweed knickerbockers

Which one is better? click on it for a bigger pic




The first one is more conservative so it would be passable at work. But the second one is more fun and would go with more casual clothes.

i would usually vote for more cleavage but does the second one go down past your belly button???

It would take an awfully generous bra to make that happen for me, but anyway, you're supposed to wear a shirt under the second one... it's probably a little short, like a cropped vest I'm guessing...

 

[zhao]

i would do first then. self contained, good for hot weather. and also more versatile as you mentioned.

 

[zhao]

second would be good with a choker though. do you wear those ever? i think they're hot.
