/fa/ - Fashion

Protip: You will never put anything in those pockets and you will look like a dingus with those epaulets. Get something more streamlined.

>but those pockets could be usef--
Up bup bup. No. Use your pants pockets.

I won't deny for a second that I'm a fucking dipshit at how to dress like a normal human bean.

Can you make any suggestions in the right direction? I usually just wear slim-leg jeans ranging from light gray to black, and a monochrome t-shirt under a button-down flannel. If that matters.

>>6915163
Whoa, whoa, don't worry about all that. I'm talking about the jacket. You sound fine, but I'm from /mu/ so your average /fa/ poster will call you a pleb sack of shit because of the flannel/shirt combo. Jackets just don't ever need extraneous stuff on them. Ever see a dude with jeans that have a billion fake fades and shit printed on the pockets and think "wow, what a chode"? Same thing applies to jackets. Go for simplicity. Imagine that jacket, just without all the extra buttons and doodads. That's a good start.

>>6914989
I don't like the jacket either, but I always vote in favor of useless pockets. And epaulets are fine on certain pieces. They add to the look, when done right.

>>6914989
jacket pockets > pants pockets in terms of utility imo

>>6915231
>>6915231
can you expand on that?

>>6915231
I mean, I always have all of my pockets full. The more the better. I have audio players and my phone and wallet and keys and train tickets and coins and receipts and tissues and so on so honestly I think I'd use them, despite hearing that I wouldn't.

Although just two would probably work.

I'll just go try some on somewhere I guess.

>>6915219
>They add to the look, when done right.

Anything can "add to a look when done right", but the only time epaulets are ever "done right" is when they're small and minimalist and streamlined with the jacket...at which point you could easily ditch them altogether and lose nothing.

>>6915231
Reeeally depends. Obviously there are dudes who carry enough things to warrant using jacket pockets, but they usually carry around weird shit like Gameboys and knives and Ayn Rand books. That being said, if you're buying a jacket purely for utility and happen to carry lots of shit for whatever reason, then yeah, go for it.

Actually, wait, can utility belts be /fa/?

>>6915236
u sit on your back pockets, jean front pockets frequently dont have enuff ease 2 access easily and slash pockets like on trousers can drop items, plus both are located at a big hinge on ur body. jacket pockets frequently zip or flap shut and can be located in places where the objects dont get in the way of movement.

jacket pockets are life, jacket pockets are love

>>6915251
yea, rick owens did a utility belt and it was pretty cool

>>6915231
I've literally never used the pockets of my jackets.

>>6915236
Loading up cargo pockets on your legs is not a viable option after a point because your legs are always in motion and the contents are forever jumbling around.
Having a jacket that can handle a bit of cargo makes more sense to me because even if I've got everything in my pockets, I find that after an engaging day everything but my wallet ends up in my jacket regardless of where I first stashed it. I think it's because all the pockets are so accessible.
loading up your pants pockets also destroy the fit of the pant in many cases. Personally, I find the front-pocket phone fade to be a turn-off as well. It just ruins the line, in my OPINION.

>>6915268
yea the pockets on suiting can really distort the fit whether its the pants or the jacket, best to leave the outside pockets basted shut (you heard me) and use either the interior pockets of the jacket, which are more stable, or just carry a bag or w/e

in fact that's prob why the brief case is so popular. doesn't stress the shoulder pads, gets stuff out of yur pockets... hmmm...

rick owens pls make briefcase

>>6915287
He makes pretty great document cases.

>>6915268
>Personally, I find the front-pocket phone fade to be a turn-off as well. It just ruins the line, in my OPINION.

On a marginally-related note, I remember coming here a few months ago and some dude thought a lip balm tin fade on a dude's jeans was a "condom fade", like an individual unwrapped condom kept in a pocket for multiple months or something.

>>6915301
why did you make me waste my time reading that

>>6915309
For a giggle

>>6915300
tfw i missed out on copping this in a drkshdw fabrication for like $40
id print a pic of rick dressed up as doctor doom on the side and take it to school evry day

>>6915318
i didnt giggle i hope you giggled

>>6915334
motherfucker

>>6915326
I didn't even really giggle but I probably giggled back when it happened.

Aaaaand the thread's gone.

>>6915354
Well, there's two opinions, either get a jacket with lots of outer pockets or get one with none. Or, get one with a couple. Or....don't wear a jacket. Is OP still here?

>>6915362
Still here.

What I learned: I should get a jacket.

>>6915365
Jackets are pretty /fa/

>>6915354
It's not gone if somebody starts posting content.

>>6915365
Well, you could always get one minimalist no-outer-pockets jacket and one lotsa-pockets jacket. Like, get a nice normal black denim jacket or something, and get a big field coat thing. You can easily get both for less than 100 bucks if you don't care about brands.

>>6915385
this is awesome

>>6915374
Recommend some

>>6915370
i want a jacket like this

>>6915374
Yeah, I couldn't care less about the brand. As long as it doesn't fall apart I'm down for whatever.

>>6915398
w2c?

>>6915401
Go to Ebay, look up Real McCoy's and Buzz Rickson.

These come in many colors and camo patterns. I recommend snow camo, if you can get it. There are a few similar garments in the genre, they're usually called smocks.

>>6915399
>>6915407
For the first, a Levis slim fit trucker, either denim or corduroy, black. I'd recommend denim as long as it's not pre-washed/faded. As far as I know their corduroy only comes pre-"worn in".

Dockers and Alpha Industries make pretty low-cost, decent-fitting, and durable dadcore-ish field coats (4-pocket coat). I have a Dockers one I use for outdoor work in the fall/winter and it's built like a brick shithouse and has plenty of pockets. Only weirdness about it is that the zipper's left-handed.

poet stop ignoring my lunarcore booty shorts
they are so perfect and so, so awful

>>6915430
i have a levi's trucker and i never wear it because when it's closed i cannot lift my arms above my head
also the chest pockets are very small and the seaming is really awful

>>6915451
Slim fit or normal? I used to own a slim fit but I honestly never wore it buttoned.

Pic Related is on sale for pretty cheap, they only have XL sizes tho. Google the image file.

>>6915451
Those are really great. I'd love to see sexy retrotech fits pop out of this whole thing.

I think Pic Related can be had for 40 on sale pretty easily, but you probably get what you pay for.

>>6915479
i dont want 2 cop these bcuz theyre cheap poly stuff and the garment they're built on is too trashy but i like the proposition
they even close with a bum zip
deserves to be reinterpreted at a higher level imo

>>6915495
Not warm at all, btw.

>>6915500
Absolutely. There's potential in the design.

>>6915495
At risk of appearing faggy, that's pretty awesome. Too bad it seems to be about ~$350-400. My budget is way lower than that because I'm a broke-ass college student.

>>6915530
I bought mine for $100. New.

The retail price is only a benchmark. You can find what you want secondhand or on sale or new with tags on ebay. I waited for a sale at a brick & mortar store and snapped it up.

>>6915509
w2c?

>>6915600
I don't know. I gave you the name and image, go dig it up.

Bump with intention if finding a decent m65 that works well for slim men.

Daniel Craig can make anything look good though

>>6915255

of course, roswell bitches out of the thread when someone makes a point


fucking faggot never should have started tripping in the first place

thanks twerk
