How do y'all feel about Orslow denim? I see some on eBay at a decent discount and thinking of biting the bullet on them.

I've tried their jeans out in the past, but not these specific ones. I'd still probably taper them. These are the 105s and I think for my build they're solid even if I have to do a little hemming and tapering

  • pocket square
  • no tie
  • bead bracelet
  • watch

Color and Cloth/Texture coordination

Not really my steez, but interesting details
  • Hat
  • Glasses and then Dark to Clear frames
  • Layering with color contrast - jacket, sweater, and then dress shirt peaking out
  • Leather gloves in pocket
  • Bag
  • Military-esque pants (and look actually)
  • Odd colored boots/colors that pop in the foot wear

Pattern Clashing

MonoChrome and use of the turtle neck

Again, not really my steez - Camel Coats, but layering, and visible watch but the Boots stand out

I'm on tumblr, still in 2024, and follow #menswear blogs.

I think this guy - I understand & wish to continue
1) Is Black
2) Lives in DC

So i follow him, and then follow the blogs that he likes, and then follow blogs that they like.
(Be careful, a lot of fans of suits and menswear be on some :dame: )

This cat will be posting something like this

SCAROSSO on Instagram: "@nickwooster X Scarosso Wooster IV laced Boots: guaranteed to make your old shoes jealous 😉 Photography by @ramonchristian.photo #nickwooster #nickwoosterxscarosso #boots #lacedboots #mensfashion"

And then some stuff that has burned my eyes.

StyleForum.Net is a classic, for bespoke suits/shirts/shoes and talking about tailoring, less about fashion and style.
AskAndy is another one

For streetwear - obviously HypeBeast - Hypebeast. Driving Culture Forward

on IG

I like Wisdom Kaye - but too much of his stuff gender-bends, is way too expensive, and generally outlandish - BUT he does show cats how to style something up. Most guys don't have the intellect to look at the bones of what he's doing, instead they just copy. (A lot like females tbh - most chicks just copy a look from someone else, without understanding how the look works together)

on YT

Breh in Japan covering Japanese style


White dude that covers Americana/Heritage styles - which are sometimes made in Japan


But honestly?
  • The Forums Sucks
  • The tumblr sites suck.
  • The youtube channels suck.
  • The IG joints mostly suck.
  • The mags are horrible, and have BEEN horrible, even in the 90s.
I just don't know if you can actually do a good fashion/style/clothing magazine or space for hetero sexual men in America.
