A few weeks ago, I walked past Zara at the mall and saw some 14 year old fashion newfag trying on one of those faggy long cardigans
and I was thinking "this is how it started for everybody, isn't it? falling for a huge meme, feeling like the coolest person alive, only to find out it's the exact opposite" =(

I'm interested in copping a slim black bomber. Any suggestions?

>>11847742
been rocking an M1 flight jacket for years - literally the first thing I bought with money I'd earned. super comfy for cold mornings. pisses me off that every 14 year old girl is wearing imitation ones.

Not much money? Alpha makes a slim model MA-1.
Good amount of money? Maybe take a look at Buzz Rickson and their William Gibson line.

>>11847758
yes we do

>>11848951
I like joggers for lounging around my house but I'd never be caught dead going out in them. They're comfy for just chilling. Do people actually wear these in place of jeans ?

>>11847872

Where I live (Australia) I literally almost never see anyone in bombers, my friends all think it's weird that I wear one. They're big among foreign asian students but they're a world unto themselves fashion-wise. I imagine you'd see more bombers in cities like Melbourne.

Also, they're basically a classic, they might be 'played out' for a bit but will always come back.

Embrace my pain, I deserve it. Not only are these shoes ugly. they are unbelievably poorly constructed.The tread wore off and holes developed on the bottom in just a few months, the stupid fucking zipper on the side sliced three pairs off laces into ribbon, and the tongue has different sizes on each shoe, so they look uneven. I completely unlaced them and took a measuring tape to the tongue, they are literally different sizes. Also they're mad uncomfortable.

I'd like to think I've learned since then, but who knows.

>>11849029
The first time I have seen them on a man that was not somewhere between middle-age and elderly was on an Asian guy in a Melbourne metro' suburb.

The Asian was wearing a green one. All of the old men wore navy.

>>11849088
where did that 1920s-looking brown leather sneaker trend come from; my brother wears shit like this every day and I don't know the origin lol

>>11849113

Oh, I also noticed green MA-1s on Uniqlo Australia sold out before I even saw them and I don't think they're listed now.
Possibly they did not stock many. Possibly every young Asian in Australia had one.

Jesus, I copped stans because of memers on this board a while back and thought that was kind of cringy.

What baffles me most is that someone on /fa/ actually recommended these, they must have been trolling or something. /fa/ has shit taste sometimes, but never this shit, and no one ever recs brown footwear. At least you're owning your mistakes though, all the best for future cops my man.

Yeah what's the deal with old people wearing bomber-looking jackets? My grandpa has a really dope parka as well, I lowkey hope I get it when he dies.

Old white people in Australia are so weird, like the same grandpa usually just wears polar fleece trash but he has some completely dope old vintage brown pants which he wears with that olive parka, brown boots and a cream jumper and I swear it's the tightest shit ever. FUCK he's only in his 70s and all his ancestors lived til their 90s it's gonna be a long wait.

My dad gave me his old sea green bomber from the 80's that's still in great condition (apart from the tobacco smell). The lengths fit perfect, and the arms have that poofiness all these new pseudo hi-fashion brands are doing. He had awesome style, handed me down some other cool shit too

>>11849168
meant to quote >>11849140

>>11849140
They bought 'em when they were young. Possibly when they were trendy for the first time.

Most old people just wear what they bought when they were younger forever and replace what is busted with Big W clothes.

My dad has a really sweet 49ers leather jacket from the 80s that I'll probably have to kill him, my brothers, and my uncle for.

Funny you mention that, my dad also had this denim shearling jacket (not genuine tho) from about the 80's as well but it was definitely too ratty to wear even with those fits where you intentionally wear dirty shit because that's the stupid 'aesthetic' of it.

>>11847746
hes right, you know

basically the only thing preventing me from being a well-established internet joke is that I didn't know about 4chan until I was a high school junior, at which point I basically wore band shirts and Dickies every day

My favourite is how they wear awful shitty baseball caps or the crappiest sneakers imaginable with otherwise respectable fits.

People only learn by learning from mistakes.
Fashion sense doesn't come in an instant.
There will be alot of trends, opinions based on those trends. Really, take a look at normies and then look at seasoned fashionistas. You can pretty much do whatever the heck you want as long as you are aware of the cardinal sins of fashion. No one except hardcore /fa/ people will really notice. Be sure the article fits well, works with what else you have, and isn't intrinsically ugly. Pretty much it for basics.

Dude this is pretty good advice. I think it's best to ignore what is trendy at the moment and always go for what suits your personal sense of style - if that lines up with trends or not, it doesn't matter. In the modern world you can kind of just get away with doing whatever as long as you pay attention to the groundrules and make sure everything fits well.

Maybe it's because I'm /k/ as fuck, but I know the way these things started. The bomber crews / airmen literally needed these things not to freeze at high altitudes. Making them flat and removing all the comfy stuffing turns it into a meme for me.

22 years old and I'm 60+ hour a week wagecucking, it fucking blows.

I'm scared that my life is basically over now that I have a decent job with plenty of advancement opportunity and pay raises. I don't want this adult life.

/blog

As for clothes, sorry to disappoint, but outside of my basic bitch business-casual work clothes, I come home and put on basketball shorts and a basic H&M tee. I like em good enough, they're comfy and cheap. I never go out anymore so lots of things, clothes included, have fallen by the wayside.

Bombers have been dead since 2014

If you still wear an MA-1 consider yourself unstylish

>>11850024
Do you really buy stuff and not wear it the next year or two later?
Actually I suppose I'm not that different. 3-4 years is probably where I get bored of things.

I was thinking of picking up a FP one with the non-contrasting logo. I don't really dig the contrasting logo.

>>11848969

yes.

>>11850482
Pea coats are fine in the cold. It's just the fact that they are double breasted that makes them difficult to make work. Double breasted jackets are unflattering for a tapered waistline unless they fit absolutely perfectly. I'd still wear my 2008 alpha industries pea coat if weather and occasion permitted. It's not a casual looking coat style and is heavy so it's not as versitile as the other three as well. Denim jackets and bombers are light if they aren't lined and they are workwear and military, so they are casual. Harringtons have less strong origins than those two, but they're so plain its whatever. Harringtons dress up and down fairly well.

Harringtons have a great origin. From the 1930s northern england. Worn by Elvis, mqueen, 60s skinheads

>>11850579
They haven't a functional origin like bombers or denim jackets or crew neck tees or henelys is what I mean. They weren't born of a working nessessity.

my fred perry one (all black, non-contrast logo, black and white lining that's normally unseen) is pretty slimfit, so I look ok in it even though I'm a skinnyfat

they were designed as golfing jackets, so they were still very concerned with function (the buttoned pockets are for storing your balls and the collar is obviously useful when you're out in that cold golfing field)

And the vent at the back

So they're sportswear that has gone astray like polo shirts.

Almost all mainstream clothing that we got nowadays was once functional clothing for work or sport.

We're literally wearing degenerations of what was yesterdays' techwear.

T-Shirts used to be undershirts. Jeans used to be simple work clothes designed to withstand a rough day. And so on.

Similar situation, and curious. What kind of work is it? Is there any way to use your skills/ connections to work with stuff you like more?

>What kind of work is it?
I work for a concessions contracting company at a for a college. I started as a cashier a year ago, but my boss likes me (partly cause he thinks I'm funny, partly because I bust my ass off), and I recently got promoted to supervisor of half a football stadium. It's nuts, I've never had this much responsibility or power, and I'm kinda a meek guy. I don't really like telling people what to do, but their fuckups are now mine, so I'm learning to deal.

>Is there any way to use your skills/ connections to work with stuff you like more?
Maybe. The company I work for has locations all over the country, with plenty of different training programs for different departments.

Like I said, I'm just scared that having a good job means my life is basically on autopilot now. It's not like I dreams anyway, but it's a strange feeling.

Can confirm. I've been wearing alpha industry bombers since the early 90's. They were cool before you faggots started ruining them with your slim fits.

Bombers are played out kttcore bro, I'd stick to peacoats and dufflecoats.

what is the age at which normcore stops being normcore and just becomes supremely average middle-class clothing
