Male Fashion Advice

I found this /c/ by chance while browsing through my All feed and promptly subscribed, not only because of the posts but also because of the friendly and knowledgeable people.

I spent sometime years ago being part of the SCA during which I learned of the wealth of beautiful mens garb historic global cultures have had and ever since then I have wondered why modern people and men even more so use close to none of it. Is the problem that old means its passé, despite the fact that fashion is very cyclical with old being new within like 30 years? Is the idea that it would be cultural appropriation that is the problem? Or is modern manufacturing just not capable of it? Some examples of what Im talking about but not exhaustive: https://pin.it/1Tyx8zNbP https://pin.it/45cuzzliu https://pin.it/6jq6GlZbJ

For men’s clothing used military uniforms are a staple. Lots of classic male clothing items like bomber jackets and trench coats are of military origin. During the wars they become symbols of determination and strength when facing adversity. Soldiers brought them back from wars and surplus sales made them ubiquitous. Veterans wearing their uniforms during protests against wars is a common sight as well.

Good evening all, I am researching fashion degrees online at the moment, and I’m finding that the courses offered don’t give too much information on modules. What you study, different techniques, books and media for study, etc. If anyone here has attended fashion school, or knows someone who has, could you illuminate what the course looked like?

This guide focuses on what’s available and sustainable for people in Central European.

I’m finding it impossible to shop for these because I’ve only ever bought them in thrift stores and don’t know what they’re properly called.

"Ringer" means that the t-shirt's body is a different color than the elastic on the cuffs of the armholes and on the collar. e.g. the t-shirt body is white, but the cuffs and collar are navy. Sometimes the words "contrast trims" or "contrast piping" are used.

The other day I saw a guy wearing pants that look like they had a chino cut. They had a distinct design detail which was that the fabric clasp that closed one of the back pockets was in neon pink. The fabric might have been cotton, but could also be some kind of mixed technical fabric. I couldn't tell. The pants were dark navy colour, almost black.

I have 17 pairs. That sounds like a lot but I could go for a couple more pairs if I'm being honest. Like a third of them are Converse, too; I can't help myself.

I'm due for new jeans and am exploring the world of raw denim for the first time. Does anyone have any favorite brands I should check out, or general advice?

I doubt I'm the only person who experiences this but I find the current male clothing I find in stores is very plain and kinda boring. You have either neutral tone t-shirts and jumpers or bright coloured prints with no real variation in pattern or material that you see in female clothing.

I had the greatest pants ever. They were comfortable, looked professional at work, at had tons of pockets

I need new clothes but every time I go out 95% of what I see on offer is so bog-standard male. Solid earth tones, baggy one-size-fits-all, muted colors, work-wear adjacent, etc.

I've got a really nice Ubuntu sweater and I used to have some other high quality t-shirts from various open source projects (mostly Ubuntu tbh, but also other stuff). I like spending a bit of cash for stuff that lasts and is high quality/doesn't degrade in the wash. Anyone have good recommendations?

I need some new shoes for every day work and walking. I basically only have one pair of casual shoes, one pair of running and gym shoes, and one pair of dress shoes right now, and the first one is falling apart.

I have been looking for below-knee cargo shorts that have a gusset. Every short I buy inevitably rips in the crotch, and I feel a gusset would protect against that.

I'm looking for something mid-weight and a little rugged. These look great, but a tad pricey.

Poofy tshirt sleeves are the worst. Is there a name for how the sleeves are cut? When my arms are at my sides I want the hem of the sleeves to be touching my arms, not shooting out at 45 degrees. Same for any short sleeve type shirt.

I just received an order for a few shirts from LL Bean. Right now, any brand's Large is just a tad tight on me but I'm trying to lose weight and expect to squeeze in soon. These shirts are HUGE.

Have to get dress shoes, found some that seem decent, what is the consensus on them?
