yes or no? / this or that?

[evisu 2000]

no no no

[lmaozedong]

damn that model looks like he's 5 seconds from dying

[bbours]

i think he's already dead. zombiecop

[Desi]

^ yes on pants, i think it fits your style/'fit' quite well actually. its fun to experiment

this this this

[Manx]

I wanna get this Our Legacy shirt. People I've asked have been idiots about it and some people on here might hate it, but I've wanted it since last summer:

[aoi]

So what do you want to know? If you've wanted something for a year, get it.

[Manx]

I'm asking for a yes/no verdict. Such is the nature of the thread.

[borkborkbork]

fwiw, i vote no

[aoi]

You state that some people have been idiots about it, implying they didn't like it. You assume people here hate it. You've wanted it for a year. And you ask what we think?

Ok, then. I think it's ugly. Don't get it.

[haploid]

I like it. I vote yes.

[syed]

Heck yes, good for Spring/Summer. Just make sure to wear it with a toned down outfit (or commit and go full frute with a multicoloured pastel yarn cardigan, some lilac jeans and a pair of navy bucks).

[Manx]

aoi, i understand that maybe I should have the cher/black tranny mentality of "i don't care, i do what I want" but I was really just trying to get some feedback on a wack shirt that I like. In all seriousness, you have a point, but it's pushing the limits of my price range right now so I just thought I would get an opinion.

I was going to wear it with some cotton pleated (relatively fitted but not slim) chinos, a tan woven suede belt, and tan casual oxfords.

Thanks, fellas.

PS: This is Francis Xavier on his new handle. Couldn't reach anyone to get my privvies back.

[aoi]

Was not my intention of sounding harsh, I just don't understand the point of asking if you already know that you like it. Especially if you don't expect us to like it either. In addition to not saying anything about what you're style is/what you would wear it with.

I can see it work with some chinos in the summer, and it will be trendy as hell, but I'm not a fan of prints and I think prints like that only work for a season, maybe two - before everybody else is wearing them.

But my point is, if you like it/think it will fit in your wardrobe for a while/have the money to drop, go ahead.

[Manx]

Nah, I didn't really take offense. Not trying to sound like a carebear.

Anyway, that's another issue that I think applies to my decision and a decent point. Flashion, like all things imo, applies to the law of the hyphen. I'm not saying this is an overtly conceptual shirt or that it's extremely loud when compared to other shit, but maybe within the context of my taste. The left field gets stale quicker once J Crew catches on.

Sorry, didn't mean to ramble.

[aoi]

I like discussing things. And I agree with you, mostly.

I don't see the correlation between "loud fashion" and dogmatic philosophy, though. But that's because I consider myself to have a dogmatic philosophy on what I buy; I know what I like, and I think I know what fits me well. And if I venture too far off that dogma, I almost always regret it later.

But I agree; trends will almost always be drawn to the extremes, either it's extreme minimalism or whatever.

Lol @ flashion.

[Manx]

I guess I have a fear of extroversion. I know for a fact that I have a distaste for it, especially when it seems like a desperate display on other people. I very rarely see others as "free spirits" when they look like a glampire, clarissa, or Rayanne from My So Called Life.

What I meant before was that when people commit to something very conceptual and seemingly "unorthodox" with which to express their character, they seem manufactured. Over time it ages like a wet fart and just leaves an embarrassing stain over time, especially when there are pictures. I know that fact well. Identity crisis' become more transparent as styles fade and are no longer ahead of the curve.

[aoi]

Then join the introverted techninj army, I sure as hell am.

[Manx]

I hope you never read Growth of the Soil.

That's actually what I'm saying. People who are dogmatic about their views and try to express those things through style and displaying their lifestyles seem desperate. I'd wager that self reflection isn't the culprit in most of those cases (Crust punks, Raw Vegans with dreads living in communes, etc) but the fact that they can't come to terms with reflection. It's escapism at its worst, especially when these people make friends and develop politically active subcultures.

[house]

Buy it dude!

[aoi]

I hope you never read Growth of the Soil.

Knut Hamsun is one of my favorite writers. Hah.

[Manx]

Mine too. The man deserves more recognition but politics are politics.

[echoepidemic]

manx please just buy the shirt... our legacy prints are dope/fun

[Manx]

My trigger finger shakes. As soon as that check comes in, I'm going to creeping around town dressed like Weird Al.

[aoi]

Can't rep, Manx.

[mdjd]

ervell wind jacket?

[DüM]

would like to see someone wearing those first ones

[thomas_highstreet]

Black These X 1000000

[broneck]

damn when i was so close to picking grey these thomas highstreet comes out of the woodworks and makes me doubt myself

[thomas_highstreet]

i just think the low profile sole doesnt really work with the oversized cuff.

the blacks look like a slightly nicer designed diet butcher high top, with cleaner lines and a nicer sole.

would cop but ive got footwear in the works at my line that will be my staple for the forseeable.
