@Double 0 Soul I was speed reading / commenting and interpreted your ‘Shit you hate’ thread as a rant thread cos that’s what it sounds like… that aside, competition out there is strong but it’s worth a go to try bring the traffic… #longlivesufu!

Quack quack

@Double 0 Soul @ATWM good shout… why not… nothing ventured, nothing gained… a rant thread could be interestingly therapeutic or possibly cut both ways

@oomslokop haha I remember your quip about my “Tanuki blue” turnups every time I wear them and laugh 😂

^^ blimey look at the length of his trousers 😂

I had to look up Zoomer / Gen Z labels as we’d never heard of it!! A few years ago, I was speaking with my mate’s daughter who was studying fashion marketing... she laughed when she used the phrase “try hards” for those who, well, just try too hard and it shows Not everyone’s casual dress choices have the same influences… and we spend a lot of time on it collectively… but from my experience, we’re a tiny (but good ) minority My lad has very few clothes that aren't sports clothes ‘cos sport is where he spends his spare time which is 6x a week… sports clothes get his attention because they affect performance and that’s what matters to him – super light running shorts, carbon fibre spikes, breathable and light running t-shirts, metal studded football boots for soft grass pitches, blades for astro/4G pitches etc etc etc etc For the few clothes he has for non-sports, comfort is king, choices are based on practicality of what he can try on (remember that concept??!), and buying is driven by ‘necessity’ which means me telling him he needs some clothes to go out to a party, dinner or whatever… selected without consideration to labels or trends he’s never heard of or gives a shit about… the antithesis of ‘try hard’… Case to point… I bought a Full Back sweatshirt that I’d wanted for ages – I’d waited patiently for it to come back in stock, measurements looked borderline but just doable, bought it by proxy, got spanked with import charges / tax and the fooker didn’t fit me. I offered it to the lad, he tried it on and gave it a go before returning it… the neck wasn’t comfortable, sat too low and he preferred his £15 H&M sweatshirt in the same colour. I got him a few Bronson t-shirts – he wears them around the house inside-out as the label irritates him… t-shirts have to be comfy or they aint happening… a refreshing outlook methinks

haha yes you're spot on with the comfort factor @oomslokop. There's a nice simplicity to it all. The rare shopping trip with the not-so-little little fella is also simple.... we go to the brick and mortar skate clothes shop - where the other lads in there dress in even baggier garms - he tries them on, picks what he likes with minimal faffing and just wears them. Then he pinches my trainers to wear. He's not a skater - spends most of his non-school days in football or athletics kit - but he likes the threads... and it's one of few shops in the city you can find decent stuff to try on. I think his Butter jeans even have a drawstring to pull 'em in they're that big - comfort ftw!!

^ Derrickman ftw!!

How about these Neal… ok I’ll get me coat

157s hemmed to cautious length and good to go

The hook buckle’s a good one eh… and one might say brown and black and tan (there’s a song there!) versions are required to match equivalent shoe colours

I’m troubled by where you store poo bags @Maynard Friedman I hope they’re empty rather than full

I see the chore on page 8 is based on the Sweet Orr chores from 1920s. The denim Sweet Orr below is raglan sleeved but the ecru isn't. I do like the Sweet Orr look

@ATWM go for it… cool idea that’s defo in the Tender spirit

@yung_flynn great photos... really enjoyed looking at those... thank you for posting them

SCSC 43 tux / At Last Co / @Duke Mantee not visible / Converse Timeline

Still got mine, albeit less worn in

Sugar Cane Super Collectibles (SCSC) 1946 model - size 34 ow, BNWT Gardener Overalls 579XX - size 44, basically new, washed and worn once DM me for Sufu prices

Looks ace there… where are you @shredwin_206?

Welcome @DemiGxd… show away mate… the floor’s all yours

@Thanks_M8 jacket and jeans look cool as

Yup ^^ yup ^… the 310 cut is really nice… as is the 17oz Zero+ denim. I got a Samurai cotton project long sleeved t-shirt last year - arms are long so need cuffing, but fabric is great, pleasantly coarse. They just need to shorten the length of their type 1s, they really do

On jackets, I also have a new 905 brown hat in a roomy size 6 fit… size 5 sold out just as I was pulling the trigger so I can now layer… that’ll come along for the ride and much further to boot… @Broark 1st Nov… as long as everyone has their jeans
