Modern Male Fashion and its consequences

[Mr. Tea]

For any jaunt, down the shops, the pub

Not sure I'd have the Gaul to wear that.

But what else are they supposed to wear?

Well, quite. Men's fashion has a 10% variance between drab & boring and utterly drab & boring. I think the last time I even looked at the men's racks was over 20 years ago.

Wear women's stuff then

Women's jeans fit to the pinch
Those men whose legs might lack an inch
Women's skirts, they only scare
When worn by Scots with excess hair
Women's shirts are freeing, flouncy
More so cos no bouncy-bouncy
Women's tights are worth a wiggle
For baited worms that want to wriggle
So, men: when stuck for things to wear
Fare for the fairer sexes' fare

Yours, William Shakespeare (no homo)

Well, obviously.

One complaint I've seen against women's clothing is the lack of pockets.

That's why God gave women handbags.

I had my women's jean's pockets lengthened

That's because, technically, women don't own anything

I dunno about these jokes.

I've only got one pair of pink jeans with no pockets, but when I wear those I do keep reaching for pockets that aren't there. It is kind of annoying 😐

 

[version]

I had this fitted jacket of my mum's when I was a teenager and I remember the pockets being small and awkwardly positioned. You couldn't really put anything in them safely and it was uncomfortable to keep my hands in them.

I have a Rick Owens jacket with a zip running across the top of the back, which is even less convenient.

PS. All of his jackets also have a large interior pocket intended to store a sandwich, which is very practical

 

[version]

Some men's stuff goes the other way and seems to consist of nothing but pockets.

Reminds me of the Margiela jacket solely made from belts: fastening it with the same would definitely be overkill

 

[version]

Some of the techwear stuff comes off like a mass of zips, straps and pockets.

religious affiliation, tribal affiliation, the region you're from, your age and seniority, your level of affiliation with the traditional and the rural....all of these things are expressed through headgear

I assume this to be the case with the haredi in Stanford Hill, presumably those different hats denote different status or roles.

@IdleRich Not 100% I do know, give us a clue? My lips are sealed.

I'm a Facebook group for rare workwear and denim and it's just like records but transposed to a different sphere. Same kinda male nerdy obsessions. I quite like it and some of the gear does look nice though (again like records) back breakingly expensive.

Years ago when I worked at MVE in Notting Hill, for some reason they always used to put me on my own in the little men's designer wear shop. It was alright apart from when someone tried to steal a maharishi top and I caught them and they went mental. I never wanted anything from there, based largely upon the very odd clientele.

I used to wear womens clothes semi regularly when I was more bone than flesh
