>>12135921
as if people wearing Americana aren't?

>>12135930
The vast majority of people wearing "Americana" just call it "clothing."

>>12135899
wrong

>>12135841
it's good when you keep it to minimal stuff like this, but it's easy to look like you're trying too hard.

>>12135937
The vast majority of the people who are into Americana also bitch about the lack of American manufacturing, but aside from shitty-ass Harleys, refuse to pay the price that American manufacturers put on their goods.

American textiles are expensive due to a loss of skills after the 90s once Bill adopted globalism as the economic trajectory of the nation. Reagonmics was okay, when the wealthy were invested in the U.S. But combined with low-no tarriffs and welcoming nations abroad jobs were shipped overseas to manufacture goods that were then imported which decimated manufacturing which had not seen significant investment in a long time in the U.S. Rather than build a new plant in the U.S, they just kept the old plants from the 50's and 60's in areas that had undergone urban decay which meant the lowest of skill workers were there and dependent upon the plant.

What this meant is that a vast section of the U.S labor loss the skills necessary for textile manufacturing which is why there is currently a massive demand for workers that still have those skills. Jobs are paying 15$+ an hour in places at 7,25$ because they simply cant fill the demand.

Time to stop, fella. It's been years. Give it up. No one is going to use it as slang.

That has nothing to do with their hypocrisy though.

It explains why they use the lazy copout of "Why would I pay $200 for a pair of Rogue Territory's made in USA jeans when I can buy 3 octillion pairs of jeans for a nickel at Costco!", though.

those aren't work boots, they're iron rangers. strictly 100% poseur bullshit, in other words

>>12136039
>refuse to pay the price that American manufacturers

As someone who works in America helping to manufacture rockets, I completely agree. Very few people are willing to pay even a few dollars more for US made goods.

>>12139316
Shit, I'm a skinny manlet and I pretty much dress like this for work everyday.

For some specifics, I'm 5'10" 132lbs and I mostly wear jeans or dark Carhartt pants, grey American Apparel t-shirts and a pair of Red Wing Classic Mocs that work bought me.

Is this at all effay? If not, what could I do to improve? Keep in mind that I'm a welder/weld inspector so I have to wear comfortable/durable clothes and I frequently have to wear protective clothing over them.

>>12139863
I work in my IRs. They're fine for it.

>>12139953
>I work in my IRs

Does your work actually involve things that require you to wear work boots or is it just for looks?

yeah guys just keep it simple

white tee
blue jeans
leather shoes or boots

what else could you need?

>>12139960
Yes, my work requires boots, or at least I much prefer to be wearing boots. I find IRs to be comfortable and supportive for that. Is that really so unbelievable to you?

>>12140075
Agreed. Fashion is for cu cks

>>12139944
you're fine. just don't go overboard with lumberjack flannels and suspenders and shit. keep it simple.
it fits your lifestyle as a welder so i dont see the problem

>>12140154
>Is that really so unbelievable to you?
Not at all. Was just curious whether you wore them solely for style or actual function.

>>12140190
>just don't go overboard with lumberjack flannels and suspenders

Thanks. I definitely won't be doing that. I just want to look a bit more effay than a simple t-shirt, jeans and work boots.

ITT: Americans trying to justify a lack of style by branding jeans and a fucking t-shirt as "Americana".

Get real you losers.
This is whats called normal clothing.

>>12135841
The photography is the only notable thing in this photo

>>12135841
I'm monitoring this thread.

I love Americana as a guideline, but as a skinny manlet I have to know my place and recognize that leather and flannel won't hide the fact that I'm a beardless motherfucker who looks pretty young.

I do enjoy wearing my moc toes and thick denim while riding my motorcycle though. Feelsgoodman.

Visvim is one of the most popular brands on here. Americana has moved elsewhere.

Japanicana > Americana

>>12144277
t. Weeb

>>12144280
Sorry bud, tradidtional Americana is now associated with microbrewery/coffee roaster hipsterfolk beard-culture pussies who listen to folk music and compare the wear on their kickstarter raw denim and Tanner goods belts while kicking around their unscuffed red-wing boots.

Japanicana like Visvim and Kapital are where it's at now.

because it's not 2009 anymore

>>12142974
do you even know what a tripcode is, dummy?

>>12144293
Visvim and Kapital aren't "Japanicana", you delusional weeb.

"Japanicana" is wandering around in Kimonos and dying by firebombing and nuclear radiation.

>>12135841
So... does anyone have good examples of this dressed up or in colder weather? Thick quality t-shirt with jeans and boots looks cool but I really don't have anything for more than that.

>>12144417

Jeans were literally invented in America, you huge faggot

>>12145114
Also t-shirts

That's prep, fuck off

You sneer at all those things but they sound pretty nice desu.

>>12145114
Fuck off Levis didn't invent jeans they just had the first US patent

>>12146658
Levi's invented riveted waist overalls. The original patent didn't say shit about denim or drill or any fucking textile. And "denim" and "jean" derive from French and Italian words respectively. However, what developed from that original design is still the model for jeans—indigo-dyed cotton twill trousers with riveted reinforcement. Therefore, while the constituent parts didn't originate in America, what we consider exemplar of the garment did.
