Ok fashion gurus, I need help/advice.

Majority of my crew and v necks are 100% cotton. I notice by about 10 hours of wearing one they tend to stretch, especially in the arms, which looks really unflattering.

After a wash they always go back to normal. Is there anyway at all to get your tshirts to keep their shape???

not really much you can do unless you start buying shirts made from a blend of cotton/modal or something like that.

 

[SeanR1221]

Woolite I believe and wash them on delicate.

I already wash and dry everything on delicate, and I love how it fits right out of the dryer. Would this woolite actually help it not stretch later on in the day?

that's what I was afraid of.

 

[freenudemacusers]

that's just the nature of cotton jersey, not much you can do about it. i will say i have had ramie and viscose tees in the past and they didn't stretch much at all, but they were loose slouchy things in the first place.

 

[Illithid Dude]

i'm now a size 28 in slp 15.5cms. i fear for my health

 

[freenudemacusers]

would be impressive if 14cm

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

would be impressive if 14cm

Would our model friend from opening ceremony qualify?

 

[freenudemacusers]

yeah, he's outdoing you hard, ill.

i looked that guy up and he wasn't always that thin. i mean yeah he was thin but humans shouldn't have a deep concave aound their elbows.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Sounds like some good thinspo if you can link it.

 

[Kraftwerk]

I got a haircut today - very happy with it- and the guy looked EXACTLY like your avatar, beard and everything.

I almost, almost asked him if he knows what Manshion is. Gave him a good tip since he looked like you.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Should have asked him if he knew who Action Bronson was.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I think when it comes to weight loss Patrick Bateman said it best. It's an endless pursuit.

Not me, but essentially the same threads i picked up this past weekend.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

he looks like he just stepped out of the apocalypse

Second pic "yes mum, I'm certain it's not on back to front"

First pic material looks nice

 

[luckyboyceo]

I love all three outfits. Zero chance I'd ever be able to wear something like that though. Props to those of you who can.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Lucky I think it's time for you to start purchasing Rick Owens and Damir Doma. Once you pop you can't stop.

Welcome to the club!

 

[overcast]

Which color do you guys prefer?

I swear I don't only shop at ASOS.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Red!

Bold summery colour man.

 

[Marcovaldo]

i feel like that's a look you have to fully commit to though

 

[freenudemacusers]

grey is a noble summer choice, but it should a more pale grey. i'd go red in this case.

 

[Alucrid]

couldn't help myself and put in an order for this

 

[Kraftwerk]

I love grey. Have a lot of grey shirts and t-shirts in different shades.

 

[Marcovaldo]

retiring your cdg wallet?

 

[jesalr]

Gonna need to start ramping up my summer wear. Need new tees, shorts... and socks..
All on a broke student wallet.

 

[Illithid Dude]

i feel like that's a look you have to fully commit to though

yeah, feel on that one, which is why i've never gone through with the julius purchases i've wanted to make

 

[Alucrid]

retiring your cdg wallet?

yeah, the temptation of card slots was too much for me. that and the accordion deets. the cdg held up pretty well over the last couple years though, even through the washer

 

[freenudemacusers]

wait they offered the helmet bag again? goddamnit

 

[Taco_Human]

Guys, need help. I'm looking a good pair of chinos. I went looking today at a close mall but I the few that were there were slim fit and I'm not slim fit apparently. Looking for something khaki colored or gray, price range between 40-70 dollars. I'm usually around 32-30. Something like 33-29 might work better cause I'm short. Not sure how I feel about purchasing online but I will resort to it if I have to.

 

[Alucrid]

they offered to offer it if they had enough offers

didn't happen though

Not necessarily. This jacket could go with anything.

[Autumn Wind]

I prefer the gray to red myself.

Also for t-shirts, again I would suggest Goodwear.

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I gotta go in 5 minutes but eastdane is having a 25% promo and only two of these jackets remain. Hope it doesn't sell out. http://www.eastdane.com/leather-jac...1/1574081229.htm?folderID=21351&colorId=12867

 

[freenudemacusers]

hmm, need to peep that site for some goodies.

 

[Marcovaldo]

bought a cotton/silk/viscose blend mmm suit for the summer, so nice and light!

 

[OldAsUrSock]

I swear I don't only shop at ASOS.

Depends on what you wear with it, but I prefer the cinnabar.

Is your skin tone similar to the models?

http://tres-bien.com/brand/silent-damir-doma/jupit-jacket-black-1-1-1

Yeah, but is Damir Doma even gothninja anymore? It's kind of has a streetwear slant now.

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

no those look like celine or something



nothing too crazy, but the tortoise is kind of abstracted and contrasty compared to the norm

that ain't tortoise, son. That's leopard.

 

[Auron_Kale]

Anyone have experience with Nudie Jeans' shirts?

Looking to get their Chambray Gunnar shirt, but dunno about the fit.

Thanks.

Quoting myself from some pages back but just wanted to know if anyone has an idea of the fit before I just binge buy them off the website.

Thanks.

 

[freenudemacusers]

i have leopard print items, doesn't really look the same.

all i've heard is that they fit slim. otherwise i have zero knowledge of nudie.

 

[overcast]

It is.

Lmao. I'm going red I think.

maybe he has some really fucked up leopards

 

[Kraftwerk]

You guy have made me insecure with my size 29-30 pants/jeans.

I'm going on a supermodel diet.

 

[Auron_Kale]

all i've heard is that they fit slim. otherwise i have zero knowledge of nudie.

Cool and thanks. Might try to see if I can try to get over to some of the boutiques here in San Francisco to see if they have any of the shirts to try on before I order.

Also... I'm contemplating buying a pair of joggers for some reason. Any good brand that make like a broken-in chino version?

 

[Granadier]

Subbed.

I gotta get looking better.

 

[freenudemacusers]

I gotta get looking better.

i would unsub immediately

 

[Revenant]

If I can borrow a moment of fashion-GAF's time to help the fashionably uneducated, I've got a couple of questions.

1. I'm soon going to be in need of a suit and I'm wondering whats the best place/places to find one. I'm out near Chicago if that helps as far as regional stores etc. There is the balance of cost vs quality to consider but I'm not necessarily sure where to even start since my job doesn't require formal clothes ever(gift and curse of a programming job it seems)

2. On top of this, as I'm relatively fresh from college and now making a salary I'm hoping to update my wardrobe all around. My main concern is my height, I'm 6'5" 207 lbs so I find fit to be an issue sometimes around the shoulders and arms, are there any tall fashionGAFers that can point me to where you've found some success.
