http://www.nerdcore.de/wp/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/steampunk-dalek.jpg

Kids not gettin' threads. Wouldn't have happened in my day.

Back in Ed's day, kids had proper haircuts.

Ed and his hip cutting edge parody threads = :rolleyes: emoticon

today i am hippin' and hoppin'.
my shirt's not tucked in.
i can feel the wrath of Ed from here.

I am still pissed off that you can't tuck your shirt in without looking like a dick any more. I enjoyed tucking my shirt in.

You'll look fine as long as you waistband is up by you nipples.

I tuck my shirt in all the time, fuck them if they don't like the tuck

Obv. not a good idea if you have a belly

well that's the other thing, I didn't useta

take it to the askandyaboutclothes forums

^^^ this. i tucked my shirt in once and got zinged by like half of my friends and acquaintances. all "well well well look who's dressing up now, huh"

what about middle-aged guys w/big fat guts who tuck-in their t-shirts and leave their shit HANGING

Speaking as a middle-aged guy with a big fat gut you're kinda damned if you do and damned if you don't.

speaking as a youngish guy with a tiny wee gut i think i look like worse with my crazy shirt hanging out. crazy shirts a must for both hippin and hopping though.

if you have a problem with me m coleman we can address it over AIM

I just tucked my shirt in, in tribute to this thread, but then realized I'm not wearing a belt

Kindly leave this thread with head bowed

J0hn that wasn't directed at you (i'm a tucker)

xxxpost

in that first pic seinfeld looks like a circa 1980 gay dude (not that there's anything wrong etc)

or a circa 2008 gay wooman. (not that there's anything wrong etc)

I am still pissed off that you can't tuck your shirt in without looking like a dick any more.

ahem.

Maybe perhaps you look like you have a job that doesn't involve an acoustic guitar. Just consider that possibility.

I tried tucking my shirt in *at work* once and I *still* felt like a total asshole. And got the same "hey fancy pants, blah blah" response from my coworkers as mentioned upthread.

Tucking in your shirt can't make you look like Bruce Springsteen anymore.

I have NEVER gotten any shit for those times when I'm wearing tucked-in shirts. All these reactions people are describing are bizarre to me.

Is this an American thing?

why are you people feeling browbeaten by people who think shirt tucked in = dressing up? jesus

J0hn that wasn't directed at you (i'm a tucker)

my jokes just aren't goin over these days, the joke was "it's ok except for fat guys" and me goin "well if he is saying 'fat guys' he can only mean me"

a joek

John Major invented this whole tucked in thing, but he took it one step further:

"The caricature came into being following reports that Mr Major had been seen with his shirt tucked into his underpants during a trip abroad. "

I'm not really a shirt tuckin' sorta guy, and the few times I've tried it brought me straight to the conclusion that it's not really worth getting hassled for something I'm not even into. Plus, it makes my legs look abnormally long in comparison to my torso...

shirt tucked in don't look so bad unless you have a very narrow waste, and you're wearing a belt with this really long excess sticking out.

^^^also that, i am stickman

if you tucked your shirt in on a somewhat regular basis i get the feeling you'd stop getting hassled for it, fwiw

RESIST PEER PRESSURE

narrow wasted people should tuck in at the bottom at then tuck out a bit. i dunno why this works but it seems to.

This far downthread and no "so called" yet, as in so called musicians etc.?

maybe buy clothes that fit you?? just an idea

It's too hot for shirts now anyway.

where I live it's also too hot for pants

year round

hell?

Ned, come on. If anyone gives you shit for what you're wearin', you kill them now, Heavens! ;-)

My point being: anyone who meets Ned and actually tries to go for a "lol you dress weird" joke is clearly deafmute, whether Ned dresses weird or not. It's a law of physics

maybe buy clothes that fit you?? just an idea

sound advice, but if'n yer a skinny guy (down into the 32" and below waist range) it gets difficult to find off-the-rack shirts that look right on your frame, even if the neck and sleeve are good. Most shirts are cut for people who are a bit thicker than that, and you run into the problem of bunching at the waist and "boxiness." You can either look for shirts that have a slimmer cut (I heart the Ben Sherman "Mod cut," but that shit ain't cheap), or you make do. In which case, Upt0eleven's tip is otm.

kenan otm. I'm at a 30" waist and I pretty much find clothes that fit me and wear them until they're rags because I hate finding new clothes that fit me.

Tip for skinny guys in UK: shop at Zara.

A modest proposal.

A grand unified theory. Indeed, a GUT.

i understand that unless you get your shit made-to-measure or keep a tailor on retainer it's hard to get shirts that fit -- mass market retailers cut clothes for fattays, it is true

but here's a helpful tip!
http://www.threadbanger.com/post/765/how-to-tailor-your-own-shirt

Now you want skinny people to sew? You're mad. And besides, there's a very nice lady at the cleaners three blocks away who will do that for $5.

skinny people! there are resources and services available to you!educate yourselves!

link added to del.icio.us for a rainy day, anyway. :)

Still think the jumbo burger solution is easier.

why do people always think that skinny people haven't tried eating yet?

it's really not just for skinny people, but for anyone whose chest to waist ratio is greater than 1 and who want to buy affordable clothes

the tailoring bit, i mean; i'm not skinny at all but i still get the baggy pouf around the waist when i tuck

lol @ the direction taken by this this joek thread. Ed is loooooong gone.

nonetheless as a skinny guy i appreciate the advice although fuck no am i gonna sew.

lol priorities

all around ;)

Yeah I'm pretty much way too lazy to dress well.

I wasn't doing the "lol you anorexic" thing kenan, but I think a serious commitment to a high fat, no exercise regime ought to work wonders for anybody looking to buy snug-fitting pants.

just take your damn shirts to a tailor

and if people are making fun of you for tucking your shirt in youre doing SOMETHING wrong

Also obviously I'm dripping with subliminal murderhate for people who can get away with eating what the fuck they want without becoming fattey.

we <3 u anyway fattey

Thanks dude. I'm comfortable with my health-threatening obesity.

my rules

1) no t-shirt tucks
2) always a belt with a tuck
3) if it's cool out (requiring a jacket, sweater, vest, etc.) tucking is a must.
4) if pants are ironed, bespoke, or fancier-than-average: tuck
5) when tucking, wear pants closer to waist than usually

that is all.

It is true, it is impossible finding clothing if you're a healthy, slim guy. H&M is OK, but some of their stuff can be Eurotrashy. Urban Outfitters can have some decent stuff in their "old man chic" section. That's about it from what I've found.

sally's, saver's, vintage & 2nd hand shops, t00 -- older stuff by & large tends to have a slimmer cut, if you don't mind going in for vintage styling

and don't mind wearing synthetic fibers

it's true -- nice slim cut, massive fuck-off collar. :/

dear skinny ppl in your twenties: I was once one of you. fear not, you will someday join the people who have lots of clothing "options." you must be diligent in your pursuit of beer. but if your heart is pure and your desire true, you will not be skinny forever.

I bought some shirts from the early 80s ... they're size small, and they're fucking slim man. It's hard to imagine there was a time when being skinny was a normal size. Good luck finding that shit these days.

yah basically the designer slim-cut stuff is only affordable for people who can also afford 5 weekly workouts with personal trainers

or people with empty-stomach breath

take yr pick

cancer is slimming, I hear

Empty stomach has a smell?

Is it anything like the air in an abandoned building?

kenan have you never been on a three-day meth binge

guys, tucking in is lame unless it's a dress up situation.

kenan it is fetid and smells like tooth decay

People have said this to me. They're wrong.

actually, it's way more lame to dress like a 5 year old your whole life

I have not been on a three-day meth binge, no, but lord knows I've skipped lunch. Now I'm worried. Does coffee cover up this fetid tooth decay smell?

Also, if this is meth use we're talking about, it might be the smell of actual tooth decay, nothing to do with the stomach.

"a dress up situation"

some people call it "work" ha

McNulty: You know what they call a guy who pays that much attention to his clothes, don't you?
Bunk: A grown-up.

luckily i do not have dress like a grown-up at work.

okay, let me clarify: tucking in t-shirts or tucking in anything with jeans is lame.

no

tucking in t-shirts is lame though

fuck i wasn't going to post on this thread

i'll just finish up by saying that i am wearing a short-sleeved button-up shirt tucked into jeans and i look great

just straight-up flaunting the gut

jealous?

very much

go you!

There is a way to pull most anything off.

abbott i largely agree but the key element is context

polo shirts tucked in with jeans is fine you fucking fashion facists

skinny guy wearing supersized tee tucked into jeans == your context is 1990

polo shirts tucked in with jeans is fine if you're jerry steinfeld or chevy chase circa the original national lampoons vacation

Oh, well, yeah, elmo. Yes.

i don't believe in your rules, burt stanton

i love how certain things are OKAY

anything is ok depending on your attitude

maybe there should be an over 30 = exempt clause

all through my twenties and into my mid-thirties I was assured that my metabolism would slow, but it really looked like I'd be able to eat as much as I wanted for the rest of my life; how old are you RabiesAngentlemen?

^bulletproof, come on.

27. My dad is still built exactly the same way I am. So is his sister who is yet another decade older. (xp)

^bulletproof, come on.

aw jeez, set the stereotypical "manliness" bar a little higher why dontcha?

^^^ rugby shirt

totally different ballgame

i'm into mid-thirties and showing absolutely no signs of lol fatty. mind you that could be less down to metabolism and more down to not eating very much food ever.

remy otm

^^^ burt reynolds

totally different game

-- burt_reynolds

Nothing post-Selleck in here makes sense.

lol sleep otm

I find it funny when people tell me I'm going to get fat eventually. Neither my dad or my grandpa have weighed more than 150 at any point in their lives.

haha sleep

they're just projecting.

i'm hoping that if i keep exercising in my 30s - 40s i can keep eating a lot and maintain.

dudes enough with the circlejerkin

you've mastered dressing yourself 102, kudos

yes but many ppl dont seem 2 kno this basic guideline it bears some repeating imo

yeah, i was hanging out with a dude last weekend who routinely rocks the polo tucked into jeans with no belt, it looks square as hell but i didn't think he was looking for fashion advice.

sad to say but there are worse crimes

logo sport socks + techy velcro sandals, fr'instance

...the reason we kvetch about fashion crimes is because changing clothes should be easy.

Last night I was wearing a chamois shirt tucked into grey jeans. I assume I looked like a douche.

Argh, I just ran out into the street barefoot from my house after espying some kid out my window hurl a half full cup across the street. I started screaming at three fourteen year olds smoking a blunt on someone's stairs and then had them threaten and curse at me for awhile until I finally kinda gave up and told them to respect the fucking neighborhood and not trash the fucking place and I have to just walk away because now what?

It's like: what the fuck children? do i come to your home and throw trash on the streets? and how could I have handled that any better? If the thing escalated any further it would've certainly ended up with a) a teenager hitting me and b) me hitting a teenager and c) police involvement and d) unspecified bad things ranging from me getting my ass kicked to me kicking the ass of a child. As it stands, I am now p-noid and edgy. Plus I am now officially the old guy who runs into the street to yell at teenagers.

I dunno; i fucking hate urban life sometimes.

HUNDRED DOLLAR SNEAKERS

Kids are always texting aren't they? We're raising a country of illiterates.

forks are you louie in disguise?

the thing i like about urban life is that i don't give a fuck what cunts are doing in my street.

a guy was pissing against on my street quite unabashed at about 6pm last week, i pointed and laughed.

against a wall

sometimes I get annoyed by kids dropping trash in the street but compared with the 1700s when people literally emptied shitbuckets onto the street it doesn't seem like such a big deal

if I ran into my street every time something like forks' story happened I'd be slashed to jiminy by now

I live in Ormskirk, a chav in a wheelchair once threw a bourbon biscuit at my window.

there's a difference between dropping a candy wrapper and hurling a half full slushie across the street
i dunno, I guess I feel like that kind of shit just doesn't fly with me.
also i can't imagine ever using the phrase "slashed to jiminy" and I have no idea what a bourbon biscuit is so...

forks, was it a blue flavored slushie? because wasting slushie is unforgivable savagery imo

Most people don't want the hassle of dealing with a load of yobs that know where they live and hold a grudge.

well that's where the paranoia comes in, but fuck's sake "all that's needed is for good men to stand by and do nothing" yadda yadda
