i didn't mean to sound so sharp

certainly rules awaited

but creativity encouraged in all things

I like foxy's evocation of transparency

and thusly post a transparent trouser picture in support

continuing with 132d ecru canvas

a combination with a soft black shoe for summer

back pocket detailing

and a trick that never grows old

post-wash freestanding

[not about sick fadez, but getting rid of sick stainz]

or rules against too much bending, sitting, kneeling?

certain lifestyles or washing substances excluded?

I understand the angst but...

'natural' is a very cultural word...

I thought that suspenders would make me look fatter. Surprised that in fact they make me look leaner and taller, as well as even more ridicolous than my usual standards

and if wanting to hide them remember what yr foreman vest is for...

many options

[first day ever wearing a pair of suspenders, it's ridicolously comfortable!]

suspenders ftw!

I wouldn't wear a bowtie with a suit but the colors of the third one would probably complement a navy suit better than the rest.

and personally I would agree

why wear a bowtie as a nod towards denim

when there are such precedents of the total denim suit to redefine the canadian tuxedo

(I believe blue silk is the tie)

ensembles by prada or by oshkosh items c.20s and 30s

I am sure you can guess which is which

I like the second one (purple) Max. Make sure you wear a hat like the model's one too! 

in terms of hat wearing (and the context of the general costume)

there are multiple options

think of the possibilities of a party suit to romp in

bowtie no.3 would be my suggestion. Although remember... the real twat wears a cravat!

oh the much mis-used and maligned cravat

as worn by such a set of swashbucklers can surely beg pardon

Nothing denim related, but I hope to find some Input from you guys. I already got my (navy) wedding suit, will pair it with my oxblood trickers and navy/oxblood suspenders. I have a formal bowtie in red, but need another one for the second Party which can be a bit less formal. I'd apreciate a nod towards my denim or flannel Obsession, so I was looking at a few hill-side bowties. Which one would you think worked best?

The suit (ignore the model please).

 

 

 

Not really helping with choice but...

On the subject of bowties, this essay is essential reading... (text crop pasted in, hopefully text uploaded too)

their origin is as a good luck charm against decapitation by the kings servants / soldier, to become later the aggressive connotation of the maestro...

@chicote vokuhila it's definitely a power to be reckoned with now, after sufu's past mullet leader Maximo @oomskolop eloquent words.

 

ya ya

equally with luv for volvo the most welcoming

is much luv for oom and chicote

they bring light to lives and meanings beyond the denim realm

chicote's sda intervention is well remembered well beyond his locks

Ill leave this bit of extremely relevant  information here:

 

 

yes volvo

we all luv u

and most equally

importantly

chicote's mullet is indeed a thing of internationally recognised epic proportions and qualities

Haha Karl San is the tcb fanboy #1

And yes if you plan to wear the jeans with suspenders 90% of the time size up is definitely a good idea.

I think I'll stick with 36 though as Im not sure I'll embrace the suspenders look for everyday.

So will you join the 20s contest?

Ill soon open the thread, should meet a graphic designer buddy of mine next week to see a few patch designs...

 

I am dilemma-ed

the 20s call as the summer jean du jour

not an autumn-winter-starter

[with a warmer thicker silhouette comes out the tenders]

but I want all to contriboot to contest too

I look fwd to the thread v much

and thusly post in its encouragement

[and suspenders, why not, my thickened middle cries 'freedom!']

Everything on the 20s was bigger because they were a 32 while my 50s are a 31

and yes yes yes

hence the call to size UP in order to go livin' large

as a size 36 in 50s the thought is to go 38 in 20s to counter-act nipped waist and suspender buttons and to get full cinch action

[as I belive discussed by other users-wearers]

indeed indeed

a man who is living the dream

ah thanks for props n clarification

I had been looking at the pix and not paying close attention to the numbers [wiping tears]

and following the thorough nycsurfing comparison between 50s and 20s [prototype] where everything was a wee bit bigger

[which reminds me, where are you jared?]

if trigger pulling I will be sizing UP

lovely clean design

Hello all

Sharing....

Some shots of a pair of plain ol' rinsed denim 130

had 'bout 3 years, but worn in rotation with many other things.

a fit pic

some details (outside light and inside natural light)

the denim gets better and better and better

and the fit of top block is great

and construction is suuuuper
