The Clobber Thread (Sartorial Elegance) - The Bear and Badger

[Deleted User]

I have found myself in a situation where I buy plain but decent t shirts and Levis on repeat. Flare comes in the form of trainers and I got me a nice watch.

Happy with this look/clothes spending ratios.

G, if that's the game, pop into LN-CC for a session and win immediately.

Need some new, decent jeans? Don't want to pay three figgaz for them? Have a look at the Unbranded uh brand. Naked & Famous, the parent outfit, are really one of the best denim purveyors anywhere these days, so good for them for making a no-nonsense collection.

If only I was not a broke student

Acronym are the latest people to be tickling my coat obsession.

Also loving the latest Nigel Cabourn stuff, but that's out of my price range sadly.

Bookmarked, ta.

Recommendations for sites to keep up with trends and male fashion? Is GQ it??

Primark- seriously their catwalk to highstreet turnaround is insane.

MattyJ

Whaaaaaaaaaat?

beano

Only for seeing trends I am saying.

Jaco

(He's right, MJ. Just don't tell anyone I told you.)

(And don't buy anything from there, natch.)

Whatever y'all say..

Jaco

I have a onesie. This is actually a trufax.

MattyJ

Fuck a onesie.

MattyJ

Ha, soz Jim.

afgavinstan

Onesies are the Activision of clothing.

Jaco

Was bought by a mate of mine because he thought I'd hate it. (Nice mate.) However, it's surprisingly comfy and warm to plonk on the sofa in, drink beer and watch a flick or two, late of a night. BACKFIRE.

MattyJ

Just never wear it out of the house Jim. Then you become one of them.

afgavinstan

So are normal clothes.

AND

You don't look like a complete fucking dobber.

*shrugging, spinning in a chair, smoking cigar*

Jaco

EDIT: @ Matty. I would look like a marrow stuffed into a condom, fyi.

Gav - I withdraw my protection!

Bought a new coat. looks a lot like this. I like it.

MattyJ

Nice, I have a similar one in grey.

tigersgogrrr

That's a fine coat, sir.

adored

I do like a nice double-breasted affair.

Brooks

Since I'm in a bit of an early-00s sort of mood - who else recalls Evisu jeans? Did any of you own a pair of the original ludicrously pricey import Japanese denim branded trousering?

Lord_Griff

Bought an Evisu t'shirt once, had an embroidered dragon on it.

What a ......

Brooks

Well-fitting Alpha Industries MA-1 get. Sadly lacking Dreamscape Promotions embroidery on the back.

In other news punted on some excellent all situ tees

There last was shirts, and they've not been washed since arrival. Still smell the same today as they did.

Reckon it's wise, given the long days to have some clobber screwed up in the bottom of a bag should I have to change my upper bod wear.

Any of you London types shop at Hideout?

I assume the website is deliberately empty or have they closed down now?

Brooks

They've indeed shut up, I read summat about that a little while back.

Used to pop in there now and again about a decade ago when they were the key source for Jap imports - Bape etc. I bought some slightly weird Neighbourhood sunglasses which I've worn all of about twice.

Howdy, Stranger!
