Luckily these were a soft flair like bell bottoms and at least in Metro Detroit it didn't really take. You know that JNCO **** is coming back but likely only the hardcore elite fashion freaks.

Oh yeah baggy and comfortable is way in. Seems all pretty easily connected whether we are talking casual like sweats or "formal" like jean. All about comfort.

In my 30s, and I just switched from wearing boxers my entire life to boxer briefs, and oh man do my boys love the support.
And everything down there is in a much more flattering shape now

I have a sweatshirt that is staring to fray on the sleeves and some grey sweats from them that have a small hole next to the back pocket. But I’ve worn the **** out of them over the past 5 years. but yes, everything else is holding up.

I used to never wear flip, flops. But look at me now! Flip flops to the store, gym, doctor, everywhere! Hell, I'd wear flip flops in the bedroom if my wife would allow it.
Thanks. I'd never seen the Duer. Not a fan of the giant label on the back but the rest looks good.

Good for her. We all need something to look back on and be embarrassed about.

Saw someone wearing a Baracuta G9 the other day and wished I still had mine. Looked online to see if I could grab one for spring/fall wear. I’ll pass at $479

That's a good looking jacket. Worth the premium over the Bonobos.

I was perusing Ebay/Etsy and used vintage ones can be had for around $100-200. You should keep an eye out.

I am fortunate that I can wear just about anything I want to work. I wear a hoodie nearly everyday. I have a corduroy one, a cotton one, a printed one, a sleeveless one (for real but havent worn that one to work yet), a couple zip up ones, a few with holes in the elbows. A hoodie is definitely my go to over a simple t-shirt

If you travel a lot and flirt with one bagger life... Merino wool Tees (short and long sleeve) are life.
About to bounce around 7 countries in the next 2ish weeks and I'm basically packed in a 22" carryon thanks to quality Merino Wool shirts/socks.
Remove cold weather from the occasion and I could probably live for a month or two in a moderate climate out of my 28L Cotopaxi Allpa backpack.
Anyone else a travel wardrobe / "Onebagger" dork too?

Not familiar with that term, but excluding ski clothes, I always carry exactly one bag, a Cotopaxi Alpa 35L. Shirts are wool and Capilene, a couple pair of climbing pants, and Smartwool socks. More recently, I’ve added a pair of jeans. All that stuff can be worn multiple times before it stinks.

Anyone else have an impossible time finding t-shirts that fit right? It seems like no matter what brand and no matter what I do, in a large, I feel like I'm busting out of the thing with manboobs in the chest and then an XL just hangs off me and looks way too loose.
I'm not fit enough to wear the tight fitting large but I also don't like the look of the loose fitting XL. Sometimes a European or slim fitting XL seems to do the trick but other times I have to go XXL in them just to get it on.
I've lost a few inches in the belly and gained a small amount in the shoulders and now half the shirts I put on feel to short, like I'm flexing my belly button to the crowd.
Anyway, this probably belongs in the rant thread but open to suggestions here.

ETA - I see this was addressed above.
I had to look this up. It’s basically a members only jacket w/o the shoulder straps.

My kids are banned from ever wearing pajama pants out of the house. A few weeks ago one of my boys was going to wear pajama pants to the gym. I asked him if he had any self respect.
Went back to his room and he changed into some proper attire.
F'n kids......
I thought this was how Skidz were born in the late 80s.

Very picky on how my t-shirts fit. For a long time I was right in that middle spot between XL and XXL, but have settled on XL only, even if it is a little fitting for a fat guy.

Yep I wore a pair of Smartwool socks for a week once just out of morbid curiousity and they somehow did not stink.
Id never do that in practical life but it's good to know you've got flexibility.
Nice to see another Allpa fan. Best bag I've ever owned I think.

Went away from graphic and sport team’s tees a few years ago to solid colors.
Absolutely looking forward to retiring near water and wearing Maui & Sons, T&C Surf, Billabong and random bar shirts.

I thought the comment earlier about shirts being soft was interesting. The fabric on most any t-shirt is soft enough in my experience. The differentiator is finding the right fit.
Interestingly enough, this is the entire business model for https://www.trueclassictees.com/
They're inexpensive and at least for me, fit just right.

Unfortunately, we don’t look like James Dean.
Old people used to say I look like Steve McQueen, but I don’t exactly take that as a compliment

It really depends on the designer, material and style. My best advice to you NV is keep trying out different brands until you find one that suits you. There are millions of options out there, many tailored for specific fits (see Joe's post). Gone are the days where your only options were Glidan, Hanes, American Apparel and Calvin Klein.

Good point. Lots of models can make most anything look good. (Brad Pitt with the bucket hat scraggly beard broke that theory for me though). But your overall point is a good one.
A lot of style is understanding your body and what works for you.

It’s Mack Weldon for me. Working from home, I’m in their Ace Sweatpants all the time.
My friend Max Israel owns a cool clothing company in Lisbon. https://www.ychroma.com/. The quality is outstanding, but it's not inexpensive. I have several pieces from them. His thing is he's a guy in his 50's and he designs for guys in their 50's.
Chest pockets on jackets to draw your eye up, not to the midsection. That kind of thing.
It's super smart and I think he does a great job. I don't go as all out on the bright colors as he does all together but sprinkle pieces in.

Not bad. I like the outfit of the day videos showing how it will look on a person.

The bad thing is my hoodie/jogger combos are more expensive than my slacks/shirts combos. Pretty sure I'm solely responsible for the Vouri and Unrl brands blowing up.
I think that's super smart too.
Do you have links for the ones you like?

I recently bought a bunch of t-shirts from different companies for this very reason. Returned the ones that didn't fit. I'm between an XL and a L. The three best fitting brands I found are BYLT, Vuori and Asket.
