You can get away with it if you have a coat like mine. I actually have a true mid 70's full-length brown leather trenchcoat. My problem is that it's so worn around the shoulders and armpits I don't dare wear it anymore. I need to spend a fair bit of cash on professional leather rescue. :(((

I have a bizarre fondness for 70's brown leather coats... my preferred "light" jacket is a suit-cut one with the quadruple pockets you'd find on a Nehru jacket. The silk lining on both coats is a ruin, but that hasn't been too much of a problem.

What I'd really like to find is one very similar to my light coat, but an inch or two longer and fleece-lined (maybe with the fleece collar), for colder weather (but not deep-freeze - I'm not THAT devoted to old coats).

What you need is something with wide lapels that you can wear with a turtleneck and a gold chain.

A BRIGHT GREEN turtleneck, right?

Too bad I hate turtlenecks :/

You'll notice in that picture that Ted's pants are not pictured.

offset the aura of hipster you will inevitably exude. I suggest a hat.

I can never tell if you're making fun of yourself buge. Are you making fun of yourself? You hipster swine, you?

EDIT:
I was going to say I'm snapping for your hip hipstering hipness, but I couldn't remember if that was hipsters or beatniks or how the intersection of those groups works out.

I kind of like the hipster look, actually, I just can't stand the attitude.

Lottel · « **Reply #87 on:** December 31, 2010, 02:15:19 PM »

I fully admit I am dressing more and more hipstery. It looks good and feels a lot better t my alternative.
I have had my friends swear the moment I count "totally obscure" as a bonus th caney slap me.

I dunno. Is dressing like a Russian soldier considered hip?

I am basically as far as you can be from having a clue about that.
Umm... everywhere but russia, china, (east) germany and "the south"?

Trust me Buge, no one is going to mistake you for a Hipster in a faux Imperial Russian Guards overcoat and a BEAR HAT.

On a related note:

The only clothing I care about (that I can wear, anyways) is coats. (I also like hats, but I can't stand to wear them, because I have a rather warm head, so they're always insufferably warm.)

One of my most prized possessions is my vintage WWII U.S. Army overcoat; my biggest issue with it was always that I felt a little funny about wearing it because I'm not actually a Master Sergeant in the U.S. Army (or anywhere else). Anyways, today I put a button back on and took off those patches, and now it's just all-around awesome and I love it so much.

I just wish I lived somewhere where I could wear it for more than a month or so out of the year.

I bought new pants and a new dress shirt, thus completing my new favourite outfit that I've been gradually building forever.

Red t-shirt
Black dress shirt
Black slacks
Black shoe-boots
Black socks
Red-and-black checkered tie
Red-and-black checkered wristbands
Red-and-black checkered scrunchie
Red-and-black checkered wallet
Black ring with a simple square face

It's super minimalist. I can change between "high-casual" and "low casual" by taking off the tie and unbuttoning the shirt, wearing it like a jacket instead.

today i had a conversation with a guy who paints awesome zombie art on shoes

i asked him to make me some shoes with Legion painted on them

because Legion is the coolest enemy ever, and it would make a rad pattern on shoes what don't judge me

i will post pictures of them if he makes them for me

If there's anyone who can satisfactorily explain to a total stranger why there is a ball of naked corpses on their shoes, you can.

Say, my jeans keep wearing out in the inner thighs from biking, right near where all the crotch seams meet up. These holes are impossible to repair or patch, so I wind up throwing away pants that otherwise perfectly good. Annoys me to no end.

So, taking recommendations on the most durable brand of jeans. I've mixed results on recommendations of stuff through google searches, so just wondering if anyone here had any input.

TA · « **Reply #97 on:** April 06, 2011, 08:20:54 PM »

I used to have that exact same problem with pants, tearing in that exact spot.

I've started ordering stuff from Land's End. I get khakis, not jeans, but they seem to last plenty long.

Mongrel · « **Reply #98 on:** April 06, 2011, 08:24:23 PM »

Yeah, my pants keep tearing themselves new assholes. Har har.

Gotta keep jeans on account of motorbike riding. That and I just prefer jeans over other pants by a large margin anyway.

Dickies are durable!
