Just ordered a jacket from a Korean store on eBay. Feelsgoodman.jpg. Despite fashiongaf's concerns, so far I've been pleasantly surprised by what I've gotten from these shops so far... As long as you measure up properly and have the right build, this shit can look amazing. Might not last more then 2-3 years, but that's a different story.

no stores in the US? i've only tried their t-shirts, no idea what i'm in for with knits so these could up being pretty bad

 

[Danielsan]

yesssss

Every now and then I stop by this thread for potential ideas. Then I'm reminded that roughly 95% of this thread features shit like this...

 

[Zekes!]

also zekes, got my flyknits in. they're incredibly comfortable, would recommend.

Good to hear. I was looking at them again last night. Thinking of going for the black Flyknit chukkas. What's the sizing like? Typical?

 

[Cosmic Bus]

some of you are really bothered by a few inches of some dude's thigh, huh

 

[Guevara]

Clearly that dude skips leg day.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Bothered? Nah. Curious how it ever got popular? Sure. Also tan if you're going to show that skin.

 

[Danielsan]

In my opinion it just looks ridiculous. Especially combined with the button up with arms that are clearly to wide for that dude's stick figure arms.
The only reason he remotely pulls it off is because he's a well tanned good looking model.

But again, don't mind me. I'm not much of a fashion guy. I'm just baffled by it all when I visit this thread.

I ain't never show no thigh.

Good to hear. I was looking at them again last night. Thinking of going for the black Flyknit chukkas. What's the sizing like? Typical?

Yeah, I went true to size.

You're talking about circumference right?

Those look awful and it looks like all of the people that sent in pictures are wearing them ironically.

 

[JustHadToJoin]

Agreed. I really hope anyone who wears these, or any shorts like them, doesn't have attracting women on their list of things to do for the day.

 

[coldvein]

i still need to buy some shorts.

.. but im not interested in showing that much thigh

 

[Rookje]

Why are they so popular? lol

Drunken frat boys.

If the guy is naturally good looking he's gonna get the women. Doesn't even matter.

 

[FallingEdge]

Those shorts are the closest things I can find to what Arnold used to wear back in the day. It is all I got to work with.

Also, grey or black?

Long flaps on the back? Always a win.

And I like grey; you see the 'folded lines' better compared to the black.

looks like an animu jacket, in my opinion.

For those of you looking for shorts, J. Crew has some solid colors in their 11" shorts (also in 9" I believe).

Pretty good in-seam length, should hit right above the knees on most people, not too short. I might pick up a pair if my long legs can handle them.

I'm taking the under on that. Try 2-3 months, max.

 

[Reneledarker]

I like this cardigan:

I am really starting to like this brand:

NAKKNA

Too bad shipping is too expensive, 40 euros :/

Most women don't care much about a mans clothes unless he loks like an idiot. Those shorts..yeah that would matter.

 

[Zekes!]

I want this American Apparel varsity jacket, but the red doesn't seem to be in stock on the Canadian site :[

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

J crew shorts are too long and fit too loose.

Tell that to this guy.

 

[Ken Masters]

Tell that to this guy.

Perfect

 

[neojubei]

Nah, never did nab it.



Any raf / helmut?



Nah, it's mostly the angle.

also zekes, got my flyknits in. they're incredibly comfortable, would recommend.

nice outfit.

I support you. In theory. Need pics though.

i've seen 2 in the wild so far. if it weren't for you guys' obsession with it, i wouldn't have noticed

Tell that to this guy.

Every single time I see this guy I just keep thinking of PUA.txt

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

At the end of the day that guy has results. Can't argue with results.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

I prefer to see a little thigh!

Also tan if you're going to show that skin.

Racist.

Gross, put it back in DmC.

 

[thezerofire]

urban outfitter's stapleford shorts are really solid for pretty cheap

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I got rid of all my shorts today. Hoping to find some good ones to buy soon. I just want some that fit slightly above the knee and tight instead of baggy.

I know these items have a bad reputation but either I've been lucky or people are greatly exaggerating it. Same with Uniqlo and Zara. I have a jacket from Uniqlo that I bought in Japan in 2007 that's still in fine condition. Color is a bit faded but otherwise still mint. Same goes for a Zara jacket I bough in 2009 - I wear the fuck out of it every summer and it's still good. Only shop whose products always crap out early on me is H&M.

I've bought three sweaters and one jacket from Korean eBay stores over the last 2/3 years and so far no complaints. One of the shirts is getting a bit worn out because the material is really thin, but it was $12 so I wasn't expecting much.

I support you. In theory. Need pics though.

Thanks, once I get it I'll take some pictures!

 

[HappyBivouac]

I've bought random cheap stuff from small town shops in mainland China that looked great on me, felt great and lasted a while. Clothes are clothes, really, and if you like something, then wear it.

The cult of brand-ism is an interesting one. No, I don't reject it outright or think I'm above anyone; it's just interesting.

I am a fan of whoever makes good stuff. Simple as that.

 

[HappyBivouac]

Of course. And there's an argument that good stuff comes in all shapes and sizes and from all kinds of places.

Maybe some people get stuck up on some brands but I think a lot of the people are open to anyone making good stuff.

Well, ditto . I bought a dress shirt 16 years ago for €160. Back then that was a shitload of money for me, but I still own that shirt and it still looks fine. I don't expect the stuff I buy on eBay to last me that long, but I also don't think it will crap out on me within a couple of months.
