  1. I got a very nice package from prokart yesterday. Perfectly chosen contents. Lots of great objects from Taiwan that give me a new sense of somewhere I've never been. Thanks, partner!

    The package arrives:

    The contents are revealed: ceramic incense holder, handmade recycled notebook, three sages, ?mystery bubble?, wood-burned postcard, matchbox

    Three men continue their eternal discourse on filial piety in their new home:

    Turns out the ?mystery bubble? is a tiny hand-cranked vacuum...I think!

  2. Yes, it's mesh paneling.

    I like the contrast though; all-leather caps look a bit strange

    Additionally, who wants a soggy meat helmet adhered to their head? Gotta vent that scalp sweat somehow.

    I got a pair of Outlier 4season pants recently in the above light grey. They have a slight purple tinge to them, which was unexpected, and I've already gotten a crotch tear. Heads up for those interested, a bit iffy in the performance department, they do look nice for everyday wear, however.

  3. how far should an oxford drop relative to the waist if you're wearing it untucked? right at the waist or an inch or two below?

    An oxford should not be worn untucked. Don't let Inventory Magazine convince you otherwise.

  4. are the fins really into hand-me-downs? It seems like half the people on hel looks are wearing "my grandmothers this-and-this" and "my aunts that-and-that." always found that sort of interesting.

    My friend from Helsinki, Tuomo, situates the prevalence of hand-me-down and vintage/recycled clothing in a sustainability framework. It's very popular for Finns to appear eco-conscious so they consume a lot of/unceasingly talk about their environmentally sustainable choices, like wearing hand-me-down and shopping second hand, among other things. UFF is a chain store that sells used/"recycled" clothing, and their prices are rising with the growing popularity of environmentally-conscious fashion. I think Hel Looks just demonstrates one facet of a popular consumer movement in which clothes play a part.

    I think a lot of us wear hand-me-down/vintage/surplus etc. in our everyday getup, we just aren't so compelled to talk about it with fashion bloggers because clothing has not entered our sustainability discourse on a broad scale.

  5. Holy of Holies, that floral print is calling my name, shouting it.

    edit: no reason to post photo twice.

    I would wear the shit out of that shirt. Black trousers, black wallabees or 1461s. Instant purchase as soon as that goes up.
