I saw a fashion shoot recently in some weekend thing that had clothes by
http://www.tamburlaine.co.uk/
in it and they looked wicked. And then I went on the website and the styling on it is arse. I might try for a T-shirt from them though. First men's fashion thing I've liked in a while, but like I said the website doesn't do the stuff justice at all, they should shoot the stylist.

I saw an old video of Depeche Mode and Vince Clarke was wearing these awesome 50s style pants that have this really high waistline, a bit baggy in the thigh and then tight towards the ankles. After asking around if there's a specific name for this cut of trouser I found out that they're known as "pegtops".
Here is a lame picture I found on GIS:
I really want some now, since I have noticed other guys wearing the skinny suit pants and I need to up my game. Can't find them for men, so I'm just gonna buy a pair of normal guy bootcut trousers and have a tailor take them in towards the ankle. This has to be done with the greatest of care, or I'm going to look like MC Hammer.

Asos might have some Hammerpants for you? Ie the ASOS Lightweight Carrot Fit Trouser (30 quid) or 300quid Tim Soar Pleated Rear Seam Trousers

ASOS is OK for basic stuff I reckon. But I'm going to get my own altered. River Island were doing some carrot style trousers, but the crotch was too low and made you look like you'd shit yourself or something.
yeah what a crap site. the clothes look alright, i have more patience for the textured fabrics now than before, since i'm getting over the Diesel overdose of the early 2000s.
shat, swears, shat. and... high waist on men?
you should wear them with the ankle garter belts for men from the 50s as well...

ha! no, i meant the later depeche mode/new romantic reimagining of that look.

Darned cockwombles.
speaking as someone who has worked w/ a few people who wear 'em, let me say, we all notice and we talk about it behind your back...
speaking of shoes, if i had a spare 300 bucks, i would cop these in a sec:
Had some purple suede shoes like that (prob still have them somewhere) that I got from NYC for about $20 - can you not get something simialr fro way less than 300?
i got these steve madden joints for 70 bucks instead:
they are cool, but not quite as sexy as the Opening Ceremony ones... where'd u get purple suede shoes for 20 bucks?!?!

Talking of hipsters, this is just class - http://www.latfh.com/ "Look at this fucking hipster" webiste.

Y'know what?
LATFH can go and fuck themselves. People like to dress up when they go out. If you're not making the effort then FUCK YOU, son. Half the pictures on the site are ripped off the vice dos and don'ts or Gavin McInnes's street carnage. It's like feeding off something they're supposed to be against. Seriously sick of people who make no effort at all then rag on people that do. Yes, me and mates have the big hair and the tight jeans and spend ages on our hair or looking for 2nd hand clothes that are just right in charity shops. Otherwise we'd all be wearing combat pants and cargo shorts and slogan tees like every other twat.
It all comes down to boring anti-sensualist wankers who hate people making an effort. Fuck 'em!

You are right (after all I did get those shoes) and apologies. No offence meant though (but I still find some of those pics funny). But this should go in the bin, just like those chav-hate sites.

110% agree with swears here.
on a (little bit) related note, what is this: http://unhappyhipsters.com
some of the captions are funny and i agree with the general anti-modernist sentiments, but seems to me they're not making fun of "hipsters" but just simply yuppies?

hang on these are the same people that had combats slogan tshirts or jeans with big turnups and hoxton fins 12 years ago, just the uniform and the slogans have changed.
sorry to burst your bubble.

I saw a link to that site before, and it seemed to be at least 50% Vice Do's and Dont's as Swears says. And whoever writes the captions is much less amusing than the Vice guy. So I'm not sure what they are bringing to the table really, other than shityness.
