    Youre not ALONE in hating fitteds but I definately dont agree. It really depends on your style though. If your style is more clasical/traditional, throwing a New Era into the mix might not be the best of ideas. It can really look dumb. But as a hiphop head its part of the culture so ill never hate on them.

    I think it's all about what kind of tatoos they are. I mean I see a lot of muscle bound guys with very very lame tats. Think of those frat guys and sorority girls with tats.

    Hey all- just have some thoughts to share about denim fits for men:

    From what I have seen, working in the fashion industry, is that the skinny jean look on men is still very new and in the minority. Most men would still prefer jeans which are either comfortable (soft and relaxed) or flattering but not constrictive. Most men often don't think they are 'cool' enough to 'pull off' the look of tighter jeans, dont understand the look, or have bigger thighs and couldn't, even if they wanted to, wear them.

    I think you're correct (whomever said it) that a lot of men reserve tight jeans as a statement for women rather than themselves. That being said, there is also a growing desire, not only in denim, for a narrower silhouette in mens clothing. Tighter jeans, shirts, jackets...clothing that hugs the body instead of being draped in it, while still giving a sense of casuality or non-chalance. One of the for-runners of this idea is Hedi Slimane of Dior Homme, as well as Jil Sander and Helmut Lang. One of their inspirations for this movement was rock music and rock icons such as sid vicious, pete doherty, and david bowie. This desire to emulate rock stars and their glamorous days in the spotlight has translated to the customer in a very passionate way. In a similar vein, many men dream of being superheros when they are young. For these same men, I think it later becomes a rock icon: the ability to live your life on the edge, with passion, and with a sense of 'f*ck all, i'm here to make music'. This can be seen as a fantasy world that the tedium of everyday life can attempt to balance.

    If, even subconsciously, these men are thinking of this, I can totally identify. Who doesnt want to be the millionaire/movie god/rock star (thanks fight club for the quote)? I think most of us want, or wanted to, at some point. And when we can't have it, or when we realize its hopeless, we can take into our hands the substitutes and materials that can try to satisfy our unquenched lives: for some its fast cars, motorcycles, tattoos, haircuts, electronics, endless DVD and CD collections...and for some its fashion. However its worn, its an expression of personality, of self, and of dreams. Dreams, perhaps, we'll never see through. But we can take ourselves along the ride.

    Each of our styles is unique, even to the most branded of us. And that is what makes clothing so fucking awesome. Tight, loose, or upside down, I get it. I get it, and I see it every day, and when those perfect pieces are found for each, it makes me smile like nothing else.

    Thanks for reading,

    D

    I must admit, good read. I think "fit" is a very personal thing. Even more so than than brands, labels, or designers, "fit" to me is steered by my own cultural icons. I love the rock star attitude but I cant even name 6 rock groups if you made me. Although we might wear the same brands or follow the same designers, they way i wear the clothes is what makes them my own AND its what makes me peep the the WAYWT thread on a daily basis (love for everyones personal flavor)

    I dont know about everyone else but its always refreshing to see a post where someone's pants dont fit like women's leggings. Not flaming anyone in particular just my humble opinion.

    jezus, I agree with you, but I find it interesting how on a shopping site thats supposedly not geared to any one particular style you can let people constantly be dicks to other posters for havin a personal style they dont like.

    You should really start regulating that and worry less about where Im from. Reguardless, I wasnt even close to the first to mention nyc.

    no words to describe what i just saw.

    that just doesn't look good, man. i guess everyone's got their own tastes, but i'd recommend a haircut, maybe some contacts, and some clothes and a hat that fit. you really just look silly. especially flashing whatever the hell that hand sign is supposed to be.

    on the other hand, your friend pulls the look off reasonably well.

    Anyone else find it interesting that some of these cats design clothes with about 10 different colors and and all over prints but then when you catch them chilling on a day to day basis their personal style is real understated......

    I didnt ask how to purchase the item, I asked whether he had any other links or to tell me how to navigate that site... I'm not really going to get into this with you, but if someone posts a certain item and someone asks where to get it, how can that be a nonsense question.... icon_smile_sad.gif

    I have never been the type of poster to come out bashing clothes that i dont feel but I cant let this go. THOSE HOODIES ARE FUCKING TERRIBLE... absolutely terrible.. they looking like a cross between a lucha libra (mexican wrestler) mask and a sex slave mask.. I cant imagine why you would want look like either walking down the street.

    On second look: you might pass for an Medieval executioner. Lucky you.
