Ok,couple of points i’d like to drop in here.

  1. Clothes maketh the Man.Take the time,put in some effort to look good. My lady appreciates it ALOT when i take the time to dress nicely,a side effect of that effort?? the lady herself.Attractive,dresses well and appreciates the same in her man. But hey,if you’re into quick 'n sleazy?? go and buy yaself an one of those high fashion,super cool affliction t’s.

KNOW WHAT YOUR BUYING!!!.Good quality jeans?? fit well,look good,make you feel good and last well.

Way to be.

Problem is, this thread implies talking about money, which I need for better things than designer clothes.

Like food and comic books, for a start.[/quote]

…and 2.

Just my 2c worth,but f*ckers who wear camo clothes in any situation that doesn’t involve military service and consider it to be high end fashion?? or even fashion at all?? need to be shot with a ball of their own shit.Its almost as retarded as wearin your jeans around ya freakin knees.

22

Kiwi are you trying to tell me that you don’t like my camo Renzo MMA shorts? Well I don’t have them any more because somebody liked them so much he stole them… hence, come again?
I don’t think that camo is the end and all, I honestly only had those in camo but come on if you like a nice pair of camos, so be it. As long as it does not turn into some military thing it is fine by me. Plus girls in camo tank tops HOT!!!

For the topic in general: people dressing up, I am dressing down. (I still own a nice pair of suit pants and a black dress shirt but that is as fancy as it gets for me over here in Brazil)

PS: Why are people cross posting threads from Sociocide on BS and the other way around?

23

ok,its not entirely on topic here so if it gets moved?? it gets moved.

Camo MMA shorts?? depends?? are you wearing them for MMA and beatin ppl in said shorts,or cuz they’re totally super awesome cool totally!!! One seems to sit ok with me,the other??? not so much.

24

I am/was wearing them because I trained at Renzo’s and they are/were super awesome. I was wearing them for MMA/No-Gi/ValeTudo and MT. And only once when I was not training and this was the fucking day they got stolen.

25

Sounds good,well,not the getting stolen part,thats shit,but at least you weren’t wearing them clubbing or drinking coffee 'n such.

Hey ice princess!

So you recommendations are overprized shit plus really overprized Gothic barf?!

You ARE a man of the brightest wits and vision, that I leave you.

Surely the stovepipe jeans and the chucks with the skullheads go well with your Affliction shit, or with any of those miniskirts you are wearing when you want your husband to be tender, sweetie.

If Fedor can keep wearing those cheap Footlocker sweaters, so can I.

To emphasize the difference between my baggies and that abomination some of my pals are wearing:

BAGGIES

YouTube - Sum 41 - Fat Lip

THE HORRIBLE OTHER THING

YouTube - Tokio Hotel - Monsoon

What the fuck is this six month rule? Christ on a bike, if I didn’t wash my jeans for six months, the stink of blood, sweat, cum and stale Guinness would pretty much clear the room before anyone got a chance to check out the neat fading on my crotch.

28

It’s to make people feel like members of an elite team of… people who wear jeans.

Perhaps you missed the sarcasm?? or maybe i have??

Gotta admit, i missed your point here.You seem to think i was actually recommending Affliction

Hmmm,your NOT Fedor,so prolly can’t get away with it the same,and compare him to the guys he’s standing with?? Who do you think’s more likely to take home the grp of hot chicks??

30

See, the thing is Fedor is a Russian killing machine. If a guy like him walked into a swanky place wearing a Savile Row suit, people would start checking their tea with Geiger counters.

31

Why does this feel like a circle jerk? Not that I’ve ever been in a circle jerk…But if I was, I bet the conversations would go alot like this.

32

This feels very different to any of the many circle jerks I’ve enjoyed over the years.

BTW the jeans in top-shop are actually pretty decent, but the sizing on the on the label has no relation to the actual size. Also the fabric is a bit thin and shitty, but you know, they’re ok, I guess.

33

Oh rly? Oh rly!

Dang, you’re right!

I apologize, and vow to never call you “princess” again! :thumbsup:

If we are talking Fedor or Tito Ortiz, Fedor.

If we’re talking Tito Ortiz or me, me.

You know, Tito’s a good fighter, but:

If we’re talking about the general situation, I’d give you a definite “maybe the one, maybe the other”.

If we’re talking about some coke-bitches giving you handjobs in the hotel’s locker room, I’d say the tuxedos are safe bets.

If we’re talking some kiss-kiss and a “maybe I’ll go on a second date with you”, game’s wide open there, as long as you don’t wear XXL Spider-Man shirts from your comic book store.

I’m pretty sure there’s a store specializing in high-end denim in Toronto, I’ll have to look into that for you. Anyone in NYC or LA can visit a brick and mortar APC store while nearly anyone in any major city should have a few small stores carrying APC, Dior, etc. If you live in San Francisco, visit http://www.selfedge.com/[/quote]

well, this thread actually explained the why of designer denim in a way that actually made sense to me, and after getting mad about having to replace a pair of 1 year old levis because they tore, i decided to check out what you are talking about, and paid a visit to a store here in nyc called “blue in green”. http://blueingreensoho.com

i wanted to check out some of this japanese denim, get some advice from people that live that stuff, and get an idea of prices, since i should be in tokyo in may, and could maybe pick up some nice jeans for not too much while i am there.

the salesmen were really well informed, and steered me to some jeans by pure blue that were actually some of the cheaper ones in the store ($225.)

when i asked about samurai or evisu, they told me i’d be paying another $100 for the name, and the limited edition factor, which was super cool of them to be so straightforward about that. they had lots of advice about fit and shrinkage/sizing. they also do free hemming in the store for jeans purchased there, and go to extremes to match the thread, and even the type of sewing machine they use.

mrs. loyalist tried on some from somet that were really nice, and looked great on her, also $225, which i wouldn’t be bothered paying for those jeans (most women’s jeans are that much, even though they are made like shit.)

so, we didn’t buy any, but now we know what to look for in tokyo at least. i would suggest a visit to that store or their website, for anyone who wants quality japanese denim in the US.

PM me what you wanted to add & I’ll paste it in for you.

Good article.

That sounds like fat people talk to me.

Go, jspeedy!

You do realize the inherent problem in telling a fat person to catch someone, right?
