The Tough Style Book (or things to wear with your jeans)

[digital_denim]

Saw this last week and picked it up today. Focuses on classic workwear, toughguy style. I'll scan some of the pages now and then. Browsing through it, I found items that we discuss on sf. Not that I would dress head to toe in it, but i definately would wear them in pieces.

Shirt on the bottom left hand corner is amazing.

[prufrock]

[burtreynolds]

im moving to alaska and becoming a logger. just imagine the wear.

[tanner68]

I like the boots too... the ones in the first scan.

Anybody able to ID them.

And more scans please.

[greentea]

damn is it time to bring back the overalls? hummm.. peeps in the early 90's hiphop scene probably ponder about those days..hehehe

[digital_denim]

The boots on the first page say moto. That's the only english in em.

This magazine is a hodge podge of stuff , so I'm not sure what to scan. It has things from recipes, cars from the 70's, movies with tough guy style, etc... I'll try and post more tomorrow night.

whats with the caption in the last pic, "NY Style"? The guy looks like a railroad engineer to me, not a New Yorker.

Those overall's don't look as good as the sammy overalls I picked up last year. The price was high, but I just had to get them... it goes without saying that I don't wear them too much.

That leather bag looks ridiculous though. I needs one of them.

[naffbdp]

What do your Sammy overalls look like? Hickory stripe?

[sneakeraddict]

some of the stuff looks quite nice.

I'm betting there is a 'cowboy' section and a 'miner' section too?

Maybe he's the missing element in the Village People?

I could use a third-party shopper to grab a few of those shirts for me.

I am just kidding, but I could imagine the overalls would look sweet! Ohhhhh how they would look. I bet the price on something like that would be insane.... all the hardware and denim. Probably double the price.

I was just looking through a whole bunch of Library of Congress photos last week and noticing how many people were wearing overalls pre-WWII and then after the war they virtually disappeared. I was thinking it was the whole save fabric and metal thing during the war that changed the fashion. Snagged this picture which shows an interesting repair job.

I'd love to see all the scans you can post DD. A lot of the stuff is bordering on costume but it works well for inspiration. Very interesting.

[mizanation]

wow, familyman, that's a great point.

maybe paul t could explain more about the disappearance of the overall.

the styles listed in the tough style book is by no means what is popular in japan right now. american workwear had a hey day a few years ago in japan, but now it is not as big. ironically, now it is catching on in the united states, where the styles originated.

Ironically... that has to do with the trendy hypebeastness that is America. Long lost are the days when America led the world in anything other than money.

well clothing style in Japan is said to be about 2-5 years ahead of all places round the world.

Also actually Every pair of boots in this mag look awesome anyone can ID any of them? I need them!

[sexasomniac]

I looked through this yesterday and almost picked it up at Kinokuniya but picked up the Lightning Vol. 28 Denim guide instead. A lot of interesting stuff in there, I might pick it up in the next few days.

[thelion1856]

ID these please....
