    My selvedge jacket arrived

    I don't think I'll ever be cool enough to wear this thing

    I believe in you, Doug.

    (Also, let's see it)

    I bought this jacket:

    https://bravestarselvage.com/products/the-steadfast-selvedge-denim-jacket-1

    Twice, actually

    I pre-ordered a medium, it was too tight in the chest/shoulders

    (Could the gym time be paying off ?!)

    So I returned that and then it was out of pre-order stage, I'm not sure how this works exactly, but it was in stock in large, so I went with that

    And I think it fits well

    I just cannot get a decent picture of it

    I replaced my Timbuk2 after deciding it was just too grotty and stinky and a bit oily.

    Hello, new Timbuk2!

    Also a shot of one of my new pairs of shoes, complete with the feet of someone who does yoga and cycles and doesn't treat her feet nicely, so... Sorry.

    I need a long undershirt that will fit my chest and tuck into the bottom piece of this outfit. Maybe a compression tank top even?

    I also need a couple properly sized t shirts for regular weekdays when I don't have anything much to do.

  • DouglasDangerDouglasDanger PennsylvaniaRegistered User regular
    I might try wearing it in place or a cardigan at work, I want to start breaking it in.

    Denim jacket is a great mid-layer when it's cold as fuck. A little more casual than a cardigan, but I would think it'd be fine for most offices.

    If your office is cool with the workwear aesthetic then a denim jacket is a great piece to rock every day.

    You need to put .jpg after it then put img tags around it.

    the general wisdom is to not mix patterns, right?

    but that's a fuckin look, so, the general wisdom can get stuffed.

  • StraightziStraightzi Here we may reign secure, and in my choice, To reign is worth ambition though in HellRegistered User regular
    You can mix patterns, it's just difficult and requires an eye for it

    A lot of those general wisdoms are ideas given to dress yourself if you have no idea what the heck you're doing

    oh fuck nevermind. they're out of stock, naturally. didn't stop them from taking my order... jerks..

    edit: in a fit of frantic consumer dissatisfaction i have cleaned and straight laced my two-year-old reeboks, which the vans would ostensibly replace.

    I’m still thinking of getting this unsanforized selvedge denim jacket

    But I was thinking maybe also just picking up a cheap Levi’s one in black or faded black

    I was really disappointed by the quality of Levis jacket and jeans the last time I looked

    I have a pair or 514s from like five years ago, they are great

    And a pair of 501s from a few years ago, and they're ok,

    But the stuff I've looked at stores recently is very lightweight denim now, and it's not marked as like a special thing

    this one store sells levi's jackets from the "premium" line which are supposedly similar to the regular ones but with better denim and fits?

    it's like a sub brand i guess?

    I got my black denim jacket from Asos and it has served me very well, but that was like a year ago so it is almost assuredly discontinued now.

    oh, i'm already getting an expensive selvedge denim jacket
    this would be just a side cheaper black denim jacket
    though i wasn't sure if regular black or faded black

    You do you, but in seeing Levis jackets $98, and I'm thinking they're worth $50

    My Brave Star jacket was $120

  • QuantumTurkQuantumTurk Registered User regular
    Levis stuff is kind of all over the place now, I have to order a lot of different 511's to find out "well i wonder which fabric this one is made of!" some all cotton, some have spandex, some have polyester, diff weaves/direction of stretch/ initial fit/ amount they shrink. They DO still have some good stuff, you just never quite know what colors you'll be able to get it in. (I'm not a true denim junkie though, I just found levi's that work and never looked back.)

    unfaded

    it'll fade eventually and before it does it will look very sharp

    Dang
    I was gonna buy the outlier strong dungarees in dark olive but I put it off
    Now they only have navy

    I want the dark olive

    I wear my black overdyed strong dungarees almost every day, dark olive would’ve been a good complimentary color to switch it up

    It's for a costume thing for a larp thing friends want me to try. I just think it looks neat.

    I think I'll stand by my statement. Everyday cloaks for everyday people.
