Parkas are usually a bit too warm for 4C weather, but I also live in a cold place, so our threshold for cold is probably different.

reddit dislikes superdry. I will admit I am put off by the fact that they are a british company pretending to be japanese.

Thanks for the input. I asked a few other people and the general consensus was to go for the second set. Will pick them up tomorrow.

So, anyone want to buy some Okayama Denim tapered athletic fit raw jeans in 36x32? They are band new but too small and shipping for a return (to Japan) looks like it's about $50...

yo quick, can you think of any other easily maintainable hairstyles?
used to just do a number 2 or 3 all over, now I do 2 or 3 back and sides and a short trim on top. Do nothing with my hair and go to barber every 3 or 4 weeks

Yeah, I'm thinking of just getting a slightly thicker jacker instead.
I'm trying to find Super Dry info. Is the quality bad? I like their jacket designs more than Gap or Uniqlo.

I mostly just browse online stores and local boutiques to see what my favorite designers are putting out each year. Once you start to get a stable of designers you follow it is easy to keep an eye out for their shows and releases. Do you have any idea of what kind of look you are aiming for? Or you just want to find inspiration.
My musings for my current looks. Picked up an Elena Dawson and Ann D jacket plus a complete steal on a 991 boot for under $400.
i love bloodborne
not only that but most of the written japanese is bad gibberish. don't know anything about the fabric quality but most of the brand is weird trendy pandering to japanophiles.
Nah, now they're selling to your dad who wants to be down with the kids

Yeah, they were cool for a while but played out now. I had a funnel neck jacket I bought from there, wore it about twice, gave it to a charity shop a few months back.
It's decent gear like, quite well made, just a bit corny and try hard with the branding all over it.
It's great stuff don't get me wrong, so is Jack wills and abercrombie. Just not in anymore

Where can I find good slim/skinny tapered dark blue jeans in 30x32, without any fake fading? They don't have to be raw or selvedge or whatever, just decent quality.
Preferably under $80.

I highly recommend Bonobos in their Tailored fit. I swear by them now for all my casual-wear needs.
Seconded

Bonobos doesn't make normal looking jeans... they look like chinos but with jean-style pockets.
I'm just looking for something like this:

I think the Tube Tom fit has been phased out, I don't see it on their website anymore.

I promise, these are very "normal looking" jeans.

Thank you. This is the input I was looking for. I'm not necessarily concerned with what's "in". I like the way their jackets look, but I just found them pricy. So my main concern was quality. It sounds like the general consensus is that it's pretty good quality that will last a while.

$128 though... I could get nudie jeans for that price.
Edit: And I did. Thin Finns in a color called Dry Dark Grey. They still look slightly blue to me though so it's fine.
Be prepared for those, Thin Finns are the tightest fitting jeans I've ever worn but they're pretty elastic so they're not completely uncomfortable.
oh yeah, don't worry about quality, superdry is good stuff for the price. Everyone needs that solid brand, for me it's GAP, where you don't care if it's in because that's where you get your essentials or necessities

I can always return them if I don't like them. I don't expect the tightness to be an issue considering my legs are so skinny that most slim fit pants look baggy on me below the knee.
You're right about the price, but check Bonobos for sales regularly. I think they might be doing 20% off for new customers right now.
Also, they are really high quality, so they are worth the price IMO

anyone here have clark's bushacre 2's? they're on sale for $60 right now on amazon and i think it would be good for me to have something besides sneakers to put on my feet.
i live in new england so rain and snow happen sometimes and i want a desert boot-style shoe but without slippery-ass crepe soles.

double post cuz i'm a thug:
i bought a 2nd pair of nudie jeans because after doing some research online, it seems like thin finns actually are pretty damn tight even on skinny people, so i ordered some dark navy grim tims (the cut closest to thin finn while still being slim) and once both arrive i am gonna compare the two and see which one i like more.

Black socks ok? Look kind of weird there to be honest. Or maybe even grey?

Black socks and dark grey socks should both work fine.

how do you guys feel about blue CP's
Need some inspiration to style up my work outfits. Not big on my current employment situation, but I figured I'd make the best of it style wise.
I work retail and the dress code is solid coloured button-up shirt + pants in dark colours, Can't wear shades of red though. Basically bare minimum of business casual. Sneakers are allowed, but only if it's black. Shoes in varying colours are fine depending on the style.
I've been able to mix up a bunch of my oxfords (greys and blues) with olive pants and black jeans. I have tan suede desert boots that I've matched up as well as beeswax Clarks DBs. I've kept it basic, which I think works out well. Just want more ideas I guess.
It might be too restrictive of a dress code to do much else maybe.

if neither of the nudie jeans i ordered fit me well, i will consider these. i have the budget to do better than asos/h&m quality though, so i'd prefer to buy something that will last.
