Comme des Garcons pwns this thread

yeah i have a couple of the patchwork shirts that junya w did in like 04 (?) that i never actually wear but like to look at

all these shirts make me think of Gordon Gartrelle

ha, ya, was just gonna post this

idk obviously i kinda get suckered by super colorful stuff & love (mis)matching patterns and such but this is maybe too much too much even for me

the more conservative, 2-color iterations of these aren't that bad even though I'd still avoid wearing them

yea, i still get a definite middle-age, pleated-cuffed-shorts kinda vibe off these for the most part. but then i see this pic and i think that look seems p chill so idk

http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lmftb1r1j31qargt4o1_400.jpg

LOVE the blue one with the pink sleeves and collar.

oh, i love "FUN SHIRTS"! I have tons, but these are the only three i have that are at all similar to the first one:

http://i553.photobucket.com/albums/jj379/philtwo/IMG_0094.jpg

(L-R) Opening Ceremony, Comme des Garcons (silk floral print), Peter Jensen

also, that first shirt is great. wheres it from, elmo?

the third one is pretty good too

i have two shirts pictured in this thread, yet I am no fun. go figure.

would kill for phil's middle shirt btw.

also i almost bought that jacket nick wooster is wearing -- the pastel black fleece brooks bros thom browne thing, off giltman for like $500

(kill.... or buy a month's worth of popeyes)

shasta, you have that gordon gartrelle piece???

oh hmmmm, i think i have a new halloween costume idea!!! now gotta find someone who can sew me one

i like penguin shirts but idk they are prob not 'fun' i.e. ridic enough
http://www.originalpenguin.com/mens/lagar-shirt/invt/1dmw0020op/&bklist=icat,4,shop,opgm,opgmaprlsts

shasta, i got that silk CDG floral shirt at tokio7 for $100 :)

phil, that comme des garcons shirts is beautiful

how many buckets of popeyes will it cost? actually i think i'm a size smaller than you now. :-)

thanks horseshoe! its surprisingly wearable too!

errr, ok well, maybe not... but i love it anyway

shit, you probably are. i just gained another 5 lbs in asia gorging on pork fat.

LOVE this

yeah, thats a dope shirt, wld totally wear. tbh id probably have bought the vibskov shirt when i first saw it but its too $$$ for me atm

i have two shirts pictured in this thread, yet I am no fun. go figure.

haha which ones?

ah right, yeah, i thought it was vibskov.

phil, that first shirt is brooks bros, here

heh, i would never ever in a million years be able to pull one of these off but i actually like a lot of them, despite my feelings about colors/patterns/textures

elmo, i may have to go to a brooksbrothers now to try on that shirt... only $98, not bad! i do love me some pastels. also, i have pants from japan just like that mark mcnairy shirt. they're sorta carrot pants'ish and the front half is blue chambray and the back half is the red and white stripes. they're kinda kooky...

max, sure you can! most of these are pretty wearable. just try!!

they do not really fit in with my personal brand

Max won't even wear colorful shoes iirc

max does your personal brand dictate one fabric only ever? what about contrast collars?

(no gecko)

one fabric per clothing item yes

oh, what is your personal brand...

"max"

phil idk sometimes i worry that dressing loudly as a bigger dude i just call attention to my size and risk looking outlandish in a bad way, but i like loud things! it is a conundrum

but its not loud in a garish way as long as you wear it right (which im assuming you do). also, i think it says a lot about someone's confidence! if i see a bigger dude doing color and print well, i think "oh, he's probably a great fuck". or "god, what a fag". or both.

on the flip side, i have no idea what people think when they see me dressed like a clown. btw, i dont dress like that upthread photo all the time. it was a persian themed party, and thats the closest i could come up with without having to go buy some new shit.

agree w everyone upthread that its an awesome shirt, if i ever found a floral fun shirt in my size i would probably be unable to resist

i actually have too many fun shirts. trying to offload some. actually what size are you? i do have some L (non-funshirt) stuff though I bought either to wear oversized or L or XL stuff I bought only because it was 90% off (so asian of me). a denim yohji coat with furry collar, maroon yohji sweater, a kooky henrik vibskov black/white knit robe...

i mean, if youre interested

i'm generally an XL but depending on sizing i wouldn't be surprised if i needed a 2X :(

this reminds me, these 'fun shirts' are pretty popular in HK (and i imagine japan, where HK gets all its style tips from). also khakis with contrast lining, cuffed so you can see whatever crazy polka dots/stripes live in the inside of your pants!!

These things all remind me of '90s cowboy shirts!

http://www.amiright.com/album-covers/images/album-Garth-Brooks-The-Chase.jpg

lso khakis with contrast lining, cuffed so you can see whatever crazy polka dots/stripes live in the inside of your pants!!

oh yeah, i got a pair of those with plaid lining by the cuffs... from uniqlo in tokyo like 18 months ago! ive only worn them once. they were on sale for $10

whaaat i want a pair

i should get my brother to send me some, he will probably ask if i have become mentally ill and/or homosexual

"Make a statement this summer with better-fitting pants from Bonobos"

http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ln3rbxEbKb1qznrwro1_500.jpg

the one on the right looks exactly like the flannel bedsheets i had as i kid

elmo, is this you at the lanvin menswear show?

http://i553.photobucket.com/albums/jj379/philtwo/IMG_9998.jpg

ha! idk if i would match a fun shirt with coral pants!? that seems a bit of overload even for me! i like the shirt tho

my shirts are not fun, but what is the general opinion on plain pink shirts? is this something you can only get away with in a trad business/banking environment?

let your spirit soar.

thread getting less and less "FUN" eh?

really like the orange/pink/red colorway on that one

the welt pocket is a weird detail, tho, wish it was just a standard patch pocket

way less fun....

hey look at these fun shirts i got though!

those printed polos are kinda blowing my mind right now

oh, yeah there were a collab between visionaire and lacoste. they got a bunch of artists to make 'em. were super expensive, but got em at the 2nd hand store here in brooklyn for like $18 each! hoping more will pop up there. though i think the three i got are the three i like the best. wouldn't mind the tennis one or perhaps the vegas one.

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xDvOPngTboE/TEDCFlnR4wI/AAAAAAAAAmU/M4AkKY8ZvUY/s1600/visionaire54sport.jpg

though the coco rocha one is pretty awesome too.

also: tailored cargo trousers are now officially 'a thing'. bleh.

barf

v much nagl imo

i quite like that shirt tbh but those trousers look like business attire for a unix sysadmin

I really love photo-print clothing, although I guess it depends on the picture. I have a cute tshirt of a field of poppies and blue sky.
Nearly typed 'poopies' then.

guy visiting the office today had on a blue university stripe / plain white fun shirt on that he had custom made in 1996. he didn't even know what a fun shirt was! looked good, tho

is that a belt or is that part of the pants

That shirt is a million kinds of awesome.

woah hey

next level

timely bump, i was just thinking about this thread yesterday-- think summer 2012 is the safest its been for men to sport a fun shirt in a while.

i work in an area with lots vacationing japanese people though.

gr80 what about an aloha shirt fun shirt, do you think that exists

hmmm good question.

i cant say its something i remember ever seeing.

hawaiian prints are having a moment and it could work with the right mix, someone should make one and get rich in blog dollars

hawaiian prints are having a moment

lol i have noticed-- topman was carrying these not too long ago, and at $45 each that shit is embarrassing.

two of the legacy hawaiian shirt designers here launched "modern" collections in the last few years with slimmer fits and prints aimed at younger hipper dudes:

http://www.reynspooner.com/collections/modern.html
http://www.toririchard.com/browse.cfm/56/2,46.html

i have a few from each but i still only wear them to work, and i think there's still an untapped market that they're not yet reaching.

maybe fun aloha shirts can be a part of that.

who wants to move to hawaii and start a shirt company with me?

I thought we got complimentary shirts w aloha friday

oh man srsly

hawaiian prints are having a moment and it could work with the right mix, someone should make one and get rich in blog dollars

haha i bought two p sweet hawaiin print shirts at a thrift store this spring, theyre p garish compared to the 'modern' reyn spooner stuff that gr8 linked but ive worn them out a few times to things

mostly i only think of the john waters simpsons episodes when i wear them tho

obv context is a big part of fashion/style so wearing a garish hawaiian print in a continental metropolis isnt the crime it is here

i still think there's a market that's not being tapped-- someone who could design shit i can wear to work and look professional but stylish, and also shit dudes can wear on vacation, or just worldwide summertime styles

i have to admit that after years of adhering to a no patterns or garish colors rule i am sort of hankering for some kind of well-designed hawaiian print shirts

I thought we got complimentary shirts w aloha friday

fun fact: the term "Aloha Friday," Aloha/Hawaiian Shirts, and "Casual Fridays" are all intertwined historically:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloha_shirt

In 1965, Bill Foster, Sr., president of the Hawaii Fashion Guild, led the organization in a campaign lobbying for "Aloha Friday", a day employers would allow men to wear aloha shirts on the last business day of the week a few months out of the year.[8] Aloha Friday officially began in 1966,[9] and young adults of the 1960s embraced the style, replacing the formal business wear favored by previous generations. By 1970, aloha wear had gained acceptance in Hawaii as business attire for any day of the week.[7]

Hawaii's custom of Aloha Friday slowly spread east to California, continuing around the globe until the 1990s, when it became known as Casual Friday.[7][8] Today in Hawaii, alohawear is worn as business attire for any day of the week, and "Aloha Friday" is generally used to refer to the last day of the work week.[7] Now considered Hawaii's term for "Thank God It's Friday" (TGIF),[10]

obv context is a big part of fashion/style so wearing a garish hawaiian print in a continental metropolis isnt the crime it is here

yeah i realize the connotations are way different, although again i still mostly think of homers 'gay guys or big fat party animals' rule w/r/t hawaiian shirts...

when i looked at the stuff you linked i was sorta sad to see it was mostly fairly muted colors/patterns with that faded, washed out look. lots of like navajo print stuff thats around did the same thing really backgrounded whats interesting about the prints in order to make them more wearable? idk.

yeah i agree. trying too hard to make it 'tasteful' when thats not really the point i dont think

my dad just sold a 90s rayon hawaiian thing on ebay for 60£. crazy.

that's what you wear here! lots of manufacturers actually sew shirts inside out, so the print is on the inside, and the muted reverse is on the outside.

here's one of my louder prints (that i dont wear to work)

on the left, right-side out (the way it was designed to be worn) and on the right inside-out (for lols)

what do you think of these

also feeling this reyn popover

http://www.big-one.com/user/images/product/4830.1.l.jpg

nice!

the reyn one is prob thick, heavy & a little rigid (but soft to touch)

pullovers are prob poised to be huge soon

I may buy one of those tori richard shirts gr80 linked!

hey grady

brand / measurements / where to cop

Hey guys I wrote some ad copy for this kind of shirt:

"The shirt. Remixed."

Guys where are nice places to get fun shirts for oh idk like less than $40 or $50 maybe?

ebay, probably?

What about IRL stores though? I never know what size to get when I order online

hey grady

brand / measurements / where to cop

― the late great, Wednesday, July 4, 2012 4:14 PM (Yesterday)

what do you mean? besides the reyn website?

stevie, i think a lot of classic 'fun shirts' on the 2ndary market are gonna be from brooks bros, whose shirts tend to have a very generous, almost blousy cut, so take that as you will. also any decent ebay seller will provide garment measurements

they are sometimes listed as 'patchwork' instead of 'fun' which means you can also see stuff like this:

gr8080 that bright last floral one you posted (inside-out) is a reyn shirt? they don't have anything quite that loud / bright on the website iirc

engineered garments killed the game this season but no way i'm paying two bills for a rayon shirt

no the one i posted two photos of is a thrift store find, as are p much all of my non-work ones.

i bet if a dedicated a few hundred bucks and a few weekends of shopping/posting, i could ride this trend to a v v lucrative eBay store fast

and yes nothing breaks my heart more than seeing a beautiful print in a size that fits me then realizing its rayon/polyester

*thumbs up*

Personally find the full Hawaiian a bit much, but have been looking for a twist on it that I like. I have a few floral print shirts with a more small-scale regular print, which prob suits me more.

ronan did you look through the reyn spooner ones i linked to?

hey, is this cool or lame

http://www.ebay.com/itm/TORI-RICHARD-Hawaiian-Camp-Shirt-size-Large-Jaguar-Tropical-Jungle-Print-Rayon-/290694804094#ht_876wt_1114

those are actually up my street, yeah grady. i like vahid's second one above too.

i can see how that one you just posted would potentially be nice btw vahid, not really the style i like but i have seen people wearing similar. i sort of think a bit of the problem is london this summer is raining all the time too, most prints i'm wearing is with a blazer or underneath a cardigan.

it looks a lot like shirts my dad wears though and he has weird ideas about proportion

http://i.imgur.com/w52Ma.jpg

i like this shirt a lot, though not anything else on this website: http://www.allsaints.com/men/uncategorised/allsaints-grosvenor-ss-shirt/?colour=60&category=11

started thread on dadstylez

xp I'm completely allergic to AllSaints as a brand but I can see how someone (not me) could look great in that shirt.

TLG - that tori richard shirt has the potential to be cool but its a crazy longshot-- like i can hypothetically see someone pulling it off but the odds are so stacked in "lame"'s favor i'd avoid it imo

Agree mostly, Sean, their stuff is all black and grey and grungey, awful. I like colours.

caek and his homeboy totally nailing it upthread btw

ty! i love that shirt. neckbeard still a work in progress.

picked up a vintage aloha shirt at an antiques mall in maine, of all places. sailboats! rainbows! it's pretty rad and i'm wearing it today.

pic svp

i got two safari shirts w/ four or more pockets on the front, how fun is that

also a sunshine yellow and sky blue tattersall

oh wait hold up

have these monsters been posted here yet

dang

CdG has done it again

caek i just noticed there's a ghost in your picture

lols at the 90s suede(?) fun blouse up there ^

ghost = romanian model. i was tagging along on a shoot. not clear from the photo: it is 40 °C.

i really like that surfer polo

its p fun

i don't have any photos of me wearing my hawaiian shirt yet here's the i-gram of how i found it:

https://distilleryimage5.s3.amazonaws.com/1e93707ad4ec11e1b23022000a1cbb39_7.jpg

fuck yeah elmo that's sweet

i really like how you guys are rocking those shirts caek it looks v natural

CdG has done it again

haha i was going to say

i am still looking for some fun shirts and summer is passin me by here

the romanian model is standing all arms akimbo because you dudes are upstaging her

Yo I just went in a Brooks Bros outlet; a lot of really fun shirts but damn the smalls are HUUUUHE, like sleeves all the way to my elbow and the bottom almost to my knees. What the fuck gives??

well they're meant to be tucked in so that's why they're long and worn by old dudes w/ big flabby upper arms

this is why boutique brands exist basically and part of why made in usa brooks brothers shirts are relatively inexpensive

i think a lot of the best fitting mass market american stuff is actually from outdoor brands which is too bad because the construction is always wonky on that stuff and the patterns and colors are so dire

H&M fits me great but falls apart in a few minutes

mine shirt upthread is michiko koshino ie fashion, and even then i needed to roll up the short sleeves and tuck in. i think breathing room is part of the fun shirt vibe. but don't forget tucking in.

speaking of rolling up you did a perfect job w/ the pants ... makes that ankle POP

oh wait that's you in frront, i didn't look closely enough and i've never seen you in shades

my man's ankles do look fierce. his shirt was some sort of vintage print reproduction. cost £££ : (

mine = my btw sorry

it looks like a gitman vintage hawaiian?

sssssh you look better

btw is he your main man or your man man

http://handsomeclothing.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/gitman-vintage.jpg

ha, he's a photographer with righteous shirts i know.

cause that romanian is looking all angry at your back like "turn your telescope this way"

hey dudes xposting a fun shirt from wdyll"

http://i.imgur.com/GGm7H.jpg

fun shirt dude, looks like the only thing not tripping out in that picture is you

your shirt kinda like a super mario bonus stage

http://www.ebay.com/itm/150868368427

this is p nice

i am super into my hawaiian shirt right now and i want moar. i must be careful.

imo this shirt is fun, didn't buy it cause hey i'll be fucked if i spend more 30 bucks on a tee and also i'll never wear it

still ... when is tye-die okay? if batik is okay why is tie-dye not?

oh hey that's my dog in the middle!

but wait what makes that shirt a "fun shirt"? is this strictly for shirts w/ contrast fabric panels?

JayH
here is how to decide if you should buy Supreme:

1) look at the clothing
2) put your thumb over the box logo
3) decide if you would wear this clothing article in everyday life for $1000000 or get the same looking thing at Kohls.

but wait what makes that shirt a "fun shirt"? is this strictly for shirts w/ contrast fabric panels?

― the late great, Tuesday, July 31, 2012 4:05 PM (18 minutes ago)

not strictly but yeah thats kind of where we started itt?

also i dont think khol's sells stuff with a stripe down the sleeve like that and even if they did it would fit like the brooks bros ish stevie was bemoaning

i think it's a strip of that satin (?) lining they use for formal suiting

not my style but i support it

the pic of jason dill makes it look like more panels than there actually are, kinda cool

i'm glad you are willing support to my style please paypal me $398

also i'm confused if your dude thinks a shit & hat from supreme costs $1mil or if its so awful it would take $1mil for him to wear it?

it costs about four bills for a shirt and one for the hat

anyway ime the physically quality of supreme stuff is overrated ... sometimes really really good and sometimes not so much

i know nothing about cdg except that $400 is about right for a shirt

jeez i am all typos today

the supreme store near my office has around-the-block lines once every few months i guess for new lines and shoes and stuff

la brea?

nyc

i think at least 3/4 of the purchases on those days go on to get flipped online

yeah last time I stopped to talk to a couple of the kids waiting in line and they were loudly complaining abt eBay sellers and accusing various ppl in line

the late great, 35 pounds for a tie-dyed hanes beefy tee with a 1-color print is insanely overpriced, jesus god, especially since that dye is super basic

i got tons of unprinted tie-dyes just laying around the office here, some are pretty rad samples, i'll snap some photos

Elmo I want one in faded navy blue with bleached rings

like a concentric pattern?

bc that's real easy to do, all u need is RIT & some rubber bands & a cotton tee!

looked at FUN SHIRTS on the wknd, couldnt pull the trigger, even tho there was a reasonably cheep j.crew one that fit really well and was muted enough to wear lots

i am not a big fan of jcrew shirting tbh

me neither.

My friends just brought me back THE FUNNEST shirt from Taiwan!!

show

J crew has some nice stuff
I think $400 for a CdG shirt is actually a bit low?
I'm mad that CdG PLAY is just super basic shit with a goofy logo on it and not at all signature CDG-weird
I worked at Kohls for a minute and their men's clothes are abysmal, like they look SO BAD, and they almost never get smalls, and when they do they're lolhueg

so into this shirt
http://i934.photobucket.com/albums/ad184/sdolnack/55acdc35.jpg

It is perhaps a bit small/bunchy but 0 is how many shits I give tbh

I have a couple white shirts with dense floral prints. Only kind of fun, but not all fun is maximal, I guess.

Stevie, that shirt is nice and complements your hair.

love this one

stevie it depends if we're talking about a commes des garcons shirts or a commes des garcons shirt shirt, if you know what i mean

i think the supreme thing is by commes des garcons shirt and not by commes des garcons

http://www.ebay.com/itm/310383462103

this one is p cool

ugh those colors make me feel sick

the last one you posted was awesome but hawaiian shirts have such goofy sizing. a m w/ a 46 chest and 18.5 shoulders?!?

yeah i mean they are generally cut short & boxy

as if they were cut to fit the people of hawaii, makes you think

http://img1.etsystatic.com/000/0/5855936/il_570xN.327148885.jpg

http://www.etsy.com/listing/97133493

ok im done for now

hey gr8080 i think elmo just called you short and boxy

>:|

bought 200 dollar hawaiian shirt, still look like tool

i am v boxy in shape tho so it works for me. this is p much the reason fat dudes love hawaiian shirts and also guayaberas

i prefer boxy shirts in general myself

tlg don't you own like a million pairs of ridiculously expensive silly-looking sneakers? :)

how is that shirt $200 and why does it have hip pockets

nah just two

the fur ones, other than that it's pretty much stan smiths, tennis classics and new balances

and these ones i guess

i am p short and boxy tbh!!!

stevie that shirt is great-- looks great on u

j crew has shirts that LOOK great but they are sized/sewn v v weird usually and often made of material that looks great on a hangar but not so great on you (or me, at least)

i think the thomas mason / j crew shirts are some of the best shirts i've ever owned, of course they are about twice as much as regular j crew shirt

yeah ive never found a j crew shirt that actually fits me

dress shirt that is, their t-shirts are great

apparently by oxford standards i am now street fashion blog worthy

http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/480075_617616377398_665168968_n.jpg

is that you?

sadly, yes

sadly? fuck that, big ups. you look amazing!!!

is that contrast stitching on the buttons? look at you.

that shirt is exceedingly fun

i believe the appropriate adjective is 'crispy'

damn, thomp-- lookin' good

...and fun!

today i am wearing arguably the most fun shirt in my office wear wardrobe:

http://i.imgur.com/jBGnf.jpg

that shirt is also pretty fun. (british high street seems full of short sleeve/loud print/vaguely aloha feeling shirts at the moment. the girl who stopped me to take my photo has just started a blog called 'oxford vintage' on which i appear to be the second post and i feel bad because basically everything i am wearing is like two weeks old)

everything you are wearing is FRESH and CRISPY

tlg can we get back to that $200 thing? who made it?

my dad told me that he likes my hawaiian shirt but it's "too small" except it's not and btw FUCK YOU DAD ;_;

gr80 i see you tuck that shirt in, is that a dress code thing bc hawaiian / camp shirts seem too short to (stay) tuck(ed)

xposts hahaha-- in your dad's defense, men of his generation often have a conceived notion that aloha shirts are meant to fit very loose and baggy, regardless of what part of the world they live in

with most new aloha shirts (not the "modern" ones i linked upthread), a small will fit me the same as an american apparel large.

re: my tuck-in-- it depends on where you work. ive been at three diff hotels here and two of them did not have a tucked dress code, and one did. i personally (being short & boxy) feel i look better with a tucked shirt, as does our stylish general manager.

though you're right that aloha shirts often aren't cut that way and can tend to spill out when you want them to stay tucked in. the one i'm wearing is cut w/ tails though.

since this is now the aloha print thread too-- what do you guys think about this deadstock/unworn vintage hawaiian blazer i found at goodwill for $7?

http://i.imgur.com/lOwtX.jpg

my friend sells the same ones on etsy for $50-$200 and will give me good money for it, it fits me pretty good, might need to be taken in just an inch around the chest, but i think i'm keeping it! its totally my best colors, too.

!

i dunno if i could pull it off but i think you should try! that pattern is tripnasty

that $200 shirt is engineered garments from this season, which tbf is made in nyc

i only have one EG shirt but it's one of the most intricately detailed and well-constructed pieces of clothing i own

i would 100% wear that blazer

i am so sad that i am wearing a plain blue pocket front tee rn

EG explains the unusual pockets then

yeah the EG shirt i have has like six pockets on the front, it is like a safari / hunting shirt though

not sure a hawaiian shirt needs those pockets

also i got it for about half as much as that hawaiian shirt cost

one of the assistants from eg started his own line called batten sportswear, it's priced out of my range and sized for japanese folk but they had a pretty cool shirt last season called the "five pocket island shirt" that was like a hybrid hawaiian / guayabera done in some nice patterns

i like

http://battenwear.com/Collection/SS2012.html

whoops, guess you'll have to navigate to the shirt yourself

i was not particularly jazzed on the rest of the line - nice stuff but there's no shortage of blue and orange anoraks on the market

too much time on ILX?

So basically, instead of trashing my old shirts because they get torn or acquire a big stain, I should cut all the unspoiled sections of my old shirts, sew the good parts together, and then I'll have some one-of-a-kind "fun shirts", right? And all for free!

and if they're fabrics, cuts, styles or sizes all the more "fun"

they're different agh

Can I do this with bed linens too? I have a bunch that have ripped down the center. They're high quality soft fabrics and I saved them with the intent of cutting them completely in half and using them for single-size guest beds, but now I'm thinking I should sew different patches together and make some Fun Sheets

here's one I've had a few years:

http://i.imgur.com/4GCvh.jpg

ebay items you have purchased where the shipping is more than the item might be a good ils thread but either way i really want that shirt where the pattern is other shirts

gr80 your friend's shirts are v nice

that sam elliott pic is amazing

how do we feel about batik / wax prints

i ask because i am v ambivalent about them! i think they can look AMAZING but those prints that i REALLY love are rare. at best this style of print can be really thrilling and exuberant (like thomp's shirt upthread) but at worst they can be really muddy and ugly with an unpleasant hippie burnout vibe. also i'm not crazy about how they get described as "tribal" or "ethnic" and how they are used editorially on models of color - how exotic! and when it's on white models, it can come across... i dunno, colonialist? (i kinda feel this way about navajo print, too, but i think that trend has sailed)

ambivalence, i say!

thinking abt this because of my tie today:

they sent me a LARGE instead of the EX LARGE i ordered which is i think EXTREMELY sketchy

but anyway, too fitted, right?

guys? i need to return this or not

i think it looks good! are the shoulders too tight or anything?

Yeah I think it's a good look from what I can see.

i went through a period of intense training some years ago, cycling 100+miles a week and working out on top of that an hour or so a day. this was at the height of the metrosexual thing, and i was buying smalls and mediums just based on the fact that i could cram myself into them skinny new-wave style (i looked something like thomp at the time)

now i am older and chunkier and scared to death of wearing anything that rides up when i move my arms around. i will do some mobility tests and let you know!

i'm going to post some sweet ones i saw at my local thrift for you all this weekend.

hi guys i got that fun blazer tailored and had some fun in it

http://i.imgur.com/QMjd9.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/WSpsc.jpg

(got it back just in time for a "70's Hawaii" themed party)

i wore it out to a party and fell asleep in it and went to brunch in it and it kicks ass. what i realized is it's not supposed to fit like a guayabera which is how some fools are wearing it but rather like a polo, almost with padded sleeves because they hit so sharply at the shoulders. i just needed to stop slouching.

grady when are you gonna like, break out of your shell, and *really* dress for the function

btw is that chick doing the do u like seefood gag

that is one amazing fun jacket + shirt combo!! impressed

+ pocket square of course, A+

vahid, grady, both lookin good

blue button down: http://www.reynspooner.com/shop/modern-collection/modern-shirts/new-mamalu-3141.html

i'm partial to the first one, both for price and also for authenticity?

ha the third one is one I already posted upthread. keep in mind the "modern collection" runs a lot smaller than the "classic collection"

1st one is def a little more ~authentic~ but this hands down the most authentic reyn spooner shirt:

i bought this shirt a lil while ago inspired by this thread, its kinda fun, its abt as fun as im willing to get

I wld wear that fun shirt

c'mon thats a perfectly acceptable shirt but its nowhere near fun

its a little bit fun, note the rounded collar, also it has colors on it, and a pattern

its slightly more colorful than that irl

smdh

i call this move ... complete the look

first season of stussy deluxe (which i think is now defunct) from like 7-8 years ago

http://charlesandmarie.com/blog/tragically_hip/files/RTEmagicC_stussy_deluxe.jpg.jpg

i like them both but i think the idea of one basic pattern but with panels cut w/ different bias (am i saying that right?) is a dope idea (shirt at right)

i ALMOST bought the shirt at left when it came out but i chickened out

re: hawaiian patterns, i mean it's def nice to see large scale prints and esp floral patterns get the cosign from mainstream men's style but -- ugh, i feel like you can go all in crazy or just stay out, but half-assing is pretty ugly recipe for dad style

i mean is it just me or does this subdued hawaiian just look geriatric? in a bad way? the whole look, really

http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma8qo6rJu31qeuobqo4_500.jpg

p sure i have seen that exact shirt in rayon at savers with a 'puritan' label

tlg: i like the bias cut panels on that (the bias is the 45 degree diagonal between the perpendicular warp / weft of the weave)

super otm.

(re: half-assing aloha prints)

ok so i'm using the word sort of correctly. does bias cut mean specifically 45 degrees or can it be any angle other than 90 / 0 degrees w/r/t warp and weft.

yes this looks awful. like a guayabera ad targeting 20 year olds

i lost my navy hat at a bar last night :-(

oh well, my vintage dude has two authentic ones from particular ships, guess i'd better grab those while i can

tlg: srs question: isn't sporting a navy hat in such a huge navy town when you're not a navy guy kind of nagl?

no, because

1) my roommate was a gunnery sergeant

2) when i worked at scripps oceanography i was on a naval DARPA contract

3) tons of non-military dudes wear this shit as a "support our troops" kind of thing

4) actually there are a ton of navy guys who look even more weedy and nerdy than me so probably nobody can tell

5) i don't think i wear it "ironically" or have that look about me

i don't know, maybe i do look like a gigantic douchebag, but i wear a ton of military type shit (m-65s, fatigue pants, shirts with epaulettes, even some camo) and i have a fair # of military buddies and i am kind of a military tech nerd along tombot lines so it's basically in keeping with my personality

the other part of the srs answer is that being middle eastern has caught me 10x as much flak with military dudes as anything i've ever worn so i pretty much don't think about it

fun hats

http://gumship.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/supreme-apache-hawaiian-5-panel-caps-2.jpg

word, thanks 4 answers

i think of it like wearing a USC sweater, you don't have to have attended USC in southern california or even have a family member to support the trojans (fuck the trojans imo btw)

should read:

in southern california you don't have to have attended USC ...

Trojans don't preserve our freedom tho

not unless you live in anatolia

i have thought about it though and i think if confronted on it i would go for #1, 2, 3 and then probably just take off the damn hat if that didn't make whoever happy

Nick Wooster is so dreamy

Like he is basically the epitome of what I want to be when I hit 40 or 50

why wait?

that parrot hat tho

sick, right?

too bad it's supleme and therefore sells for $70-$90 on ebay

ouch

oh and i'm p sure bias is specifically 45 degrees -- you see bias cuts mostly in womenswear because they drape & move more fluidly that cuts on the grain

than*

ah, i know the bias cut dress idea but i didn't realize it was specifically 45

well, i guess most trad neckties are bias cut too -- weaves stretch along the 45 diagonal, so it helps ties knot evenly, dimple well, and the stretch helps prevent the seams tearing

oh yeah, all of my ties are 45 degrees except the squared-off skinny chambray one i already regret buying

reasonable, right?

i kinda like how this is just the general men's clothes thread now, as the dresses thread is for the ladies

ILS - the smallest of tribes

i have a bit of a fetish for square-end skinnies, esp old rooster ties with crazy prints! even though i am prob a bit too thick to rock a v skinny tie, i do anyway

selvedge line is the sort of detail i don't really care about, SUCH FINE MATERIALS, DO YOU SEEEE yeah uhm

artisanal heirloom denim

i'm telling you man, it's the sort of thing that's going to make me embarrassed to own the tie in 10 years, might take it to my ladies at the drycleaners and see if they can get rid of it

r.i.p. steve shasta

hehe i say this as a dude with *only* jp selvedge jeans

idk, i think the selvege is only really telling & worth showing if the fabric was milled by some real high quality manufacturer that has a signature selvedge, and in some cases it makes sense bc selvedge is more resilient than a cut edge, otherwise it's kind of a nonsense detail because every woven fabric has a selvedge

right!

i think the japanese jeans with red selvedge it's like indicating that it was woven on those old levi's looms we hear so much about?

but on a chambray tie from brooklyn it's silly

I still don't really "get" the whole selvedge thing

What I do get though are my new black Helmut Lang corduroys that look pristine that I got for free.

gr80 that floral western with the black piping is dooooope

your westerns are really nice gr80

the second one (roses) is awesome

interesting evolution of interpretation of "fun shirts" itt from like, shirts w diff colour sleeves to now basically just shirts with fun prints. i wear the latter but haven't really seen much of the former, not sure i could pull it off but some of the shirts linked upthread are really nice

the white&purple cowboy shirt is gorgeous, i'd love it.

this shirt ticks all thread boxes but it doesn't seem quite right to me -

http://images.asos.com/inv/media/7/6/3/3/2383367/blue/image1xl.jpg

fabric panels would prob be better reversed imho, large print would work better on front panels

also blue oxford cloth doesn't go with everything, i don't hate it on principle but it's a pretty bad combo

yeah i think prints on the front & plain sleeves is normally better but the reverse seems more common.

selling a "fun shirt" on ebay, more like fun shit imo

so beautiful

thank you.

i bought it from a tucson, az boutique 6 years ago in order to wear to my sister's rehearsal dinner (which was being held at a dude ranch.)

i still wear it all the time.

Spotted during my cross country flight yesterday:

"These shirts are great for a night on the town, frat parties, bachelor parties, stag parties or any other time you want to stand out in a crowd."

fuck yeah i would fucking dominate golden tee in this shits

I am not feeling those skymall shirts tbh

wtf vahid!?

I'm just kidding, golden tee is a video game about golf that douchebags like

lol i almost forgot about golden tee, what a plague on bars everywhere that thing was

there's an onion article about dudes in untucked "dress shirts" and golden tee but I'm too lazy to find it

man i want some sweet fun shirts so bad rn

my shirts are not fun, my job is not fun, where has all the fun gone i ask u

haha I came here to post skymall

hell yeah my stussy fun shirt sold for $10, an astounding 20% of what i paid for it

found a pretty cool writeup of Reyn Spooner's origins:

a good tumblr would be cell phone pix of skymall catalog taken on airplane

tip for the fun shirt crew: sick steven alan sale starting tomorrow get early access today via their facebook page, just bought a suit* i tried on there last week that was 900 for 300

*not actually a suit just perfectly matching jacket n pants

am liking some of the autumnal takes on fun shirts

scooped a vintage shirt most fun this last weekend -- regular trad short-sleeve sport shirt in form, with box pleat on the back yoke seam -- except with batik indian elephant prints with tie-dye rainbow background, alternating with tie-dye starburst circles on grey? bonkers

sadly this is too small for me to wear, and it's obviously been worn and loved by some dude very much -- the colors have probably faded a lot and the collar is practically falling apart. but still, for $2 it was impossible to pass up. i'm thinking of gifting it to a friend for xmas, but i'd have to do something about the collar -- either repair it with a bias strip or maybe even cut the collar off altogether and make a band collar shirt out of it? i don't know.

if i can't figure that out i might just use it for fabric.

damn it:

it's getting to that time of year again

would wear http://www.mrporter.com/product/340847

picked up a couple aloha shirts this week

one for me (yellow background hibiscus parrot print) and another for my bf (beachscape) but i doubt he'll wear it

fun shirts hitting critical mass this year, seeing them everywhere

no more aloha shirts for me (at the workplace at least) but my new dress code is a suit with "a well-tailored, interesting dress shirt, no tie"

uh oh

suit & no tie is a pretty interesting dress code

"FUN FORMAL"

'ketel one advertorial'

the 'no tie' part is downright offensive to you elmo, isnt it

haha nah it's cool, it's the first time i've heard of that type of dress code though & i'm sure gr80 will rock the look flawlessly

is it like "no tie necessary" or "NO TIE"?

seems like in a no-tie + suit look the collar will do a lot of lifting. it seems whenever i look for shirts, high-end stuff is all spread collars and low-end stuff is all lame long point collars. are there shirtmakers that are known for having cool collars. i probably need to go to soho and east villlage boutiques more

its NO TIE (via ~lyfestyle hotel~)

front desk managers just started wearing ties but that's relatively new i guess and just that department.

i've been stocking up on pastel solids and bold checks, but my boss has a decent wardrobe of shirts with FUN details: contrast buttons/stitching, solid shirts with patterns on the inside of the collar/cuffs, that sort of thing. any tips on finding DRESS shirts in this particular vein of FUN would be appreciated.

suits i currently have:

• dark charcoal w/ subtle black pinstripe
• lighter charcoal/black pindot
• solid navy
• blue in a shade too light to be called navy, too dark to be royal, has a little bit of black and brown that shows up in certain light

light grey cotton suit is a p sweet jam

tbh i think these are all awful, but ...

i do not vibe to the spread collar

the ursprung for plain shirts with patterns on cuffs is paul smith, but they are £££

can you wear a waistcoat/vneck?

v-neck sweaters totally.

waistcoats probably, i don't really see myself going for that look though.

i bet FUN WAISTCOATS will be a thing any season now.

totally

gr80 just have your tailor replace the buttons on your shirts with gold plated ones

http://www.ebay.com/itm//160861852942

kinda feeling on solid or block colored dress shirts rn with thin or windsor collars or like the modified bankers shirt (via balmain)

also gr8 please dont be the guy wearing a waistcoat

no for real tho, i think replacement buttons might be an inexpensive way to liven up a solid dress shirt, just not necessarily those xposts

might buy this shirt-- with a navy suit its kind of fly

http://i.imgur.com/d0HsFqB.jpg

nice. u gonna go for the invisible tie look??

no for real tho, i think replacement buttons might be an inexpensive way to liven up a solid dress shirt, just not necessarily those xposts

totally, i'd already thought abt doing this.

a waistcoat thread bump this thread when you're wearing a waistcoat/vest

but yeah, it is a high risk move

hmm

PREME

the fact that the pattern isn't matched across the zipper is driving my eyes crazy and i'm not so crazy about the pattern itself BUT i kinda like the idea of a printed harrington-style jacket, as a concept

considering
