better but you did it wrong

don't get a jacket with all that flare on it.
you're still wearing that belt buckle too you bastard.

shoes aren't bad this time.

>>10445078
Better than last time but still
>lose weight, get fit
>get better fitting clothes
In the meantime just read the sticky and keep it basic. You can keep the jacket.

>>10445087
>>10445090
Thanks, I pry will end up keeping my grandads jacket in one piece though.
As for the shoes, I rarely wear them. I thought theyd do a lot better than the loafers I usually wear

>>10445078
Better fitting clothes than last time, I still would recommend better fitting jeans with this, even though they're better than the last pants. That being said, once you get better fitting jeans, I would recommend cuffing them with this look.

I also just think it's kind of weird wearing a Soviet belt buckle with a US army jacket.

>>10445100
It is, but I kinda dig it. Items from a time of opposition to one of culmination

>>10445078
Are the jeans supposed to look like that? They look super loose

>>10445078
Don't wear army jackets unless you've served

Sadly that's the only salvageable piece from that fit, so you're out of luck

Start again, and do something about that hair kek

>>10445133
Why not? Everyone wears army jackets, telling him that is bolting the stable door.

And looks much better OP. The plain white tee definitely works. Roll the hem of the jeans up a couple of times, and when possible get some skinnier ones to wear with those shoes.

>>10445133
People who say this piss me off. He already stated that it's his grandfather's.
Why should anyone not be allowed to wear memorabilia that a deceased family member specifically gave them to wear?

>>10445078
wow you're actually slowly getting better

you need to get your jeans to taper from the hem though, and that belt buckle is really obnoxious. Ditch it.

Still, a substantial improvement from last time my friend. Also, you need to lose weight.

>>10445078
>us army jacket with commie belt

>>10445133
I recognize this, but its era is long gone and I doubt people would think I served, the hair will be taken care of soon too. Maybe next week if I can.
>>10445164
Hes not dead, hes just somewhere I can't reach him right now.
>>10445171
Thanks, Ive made most of the changes. But I kinda dig the buckle with this one, like>>10445128 said.

>>10445202
I mean I can appreciate you're trying to make some sort of "statement" but in this particular fit the buckle looks ugly, like there's too much going on. In general I only think you should wear big belt buckles if the rest of your outfit is really plain.

>>10445206
You can only wear big buckles with boots, preferably cowboy boots

OP looks comical

I found a slightly better pair of pants, they are better right?

>>10445233
God, I have to find a better angle.
No wonder why people first impression is to get /fit/.
I look like fucking Shamu.

If Im gonna get a haircut, is there one that you would reccomend that a barber could do?

>>10445233
give up maybe.

>>10445253
Never!

>>10445078
was getting caught part of your plan?

>>10445233
DITCH THE FUCKING BELT FAM

HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO TELL YOU IT LOOKS DAB

>>10445239
get a number 2 buzzcut.

>>10445281
I only have the one, Im shopping tomorrow.

>>10445263
Caught?

not great, but if i see you on the street, i wouldn't mind sucking your dick. just saying

>>10445342
Much appreciated, Ill imagine your a chickie

>>10445340
>shopping tomorrow

just get one cheap brown and one cheap black leather belt, with plain silver buckles. Keep it simple.

>>10445398
Tis the plan, aint got the money for fancy dos

>>10445402
Even if you are strapped for cash, please don't buy cheap belts from like Chaps or something. Those belts are admittedly cheap and plentiful, but they are also made out of cheap bonded leather that quickly cracks and breaks with use. I made that mistake a lot a few years ago.

As a general rule of thumb, get a non-reversible leather belt (reversible ones are convenient, but break easily) made out of high-quality leather with a finished edge.

I haven't been on /fa/ for weeks so I have no idea who are you. How bad was it last time you posted if everyone thinks that this fit is an improvement? Props for trying to improve though.

You definitely need better fitting pants

>>10445078
>that jacket
>that commie belt
lose that damn belt that combo makes you look like autist
other than that you look average /fa/ggot

>>10445412
How much should you have to pay for a quality belt that won't crack? I feel like it would be cheaper to just replace your belt every few months or something.

>>10445431
It was really, really bad.

>>10445447
also try jeans that arent that loose
and get better footwear, these are im not like them mom core

>>10445467
Honestly? I'd look around for sales to lower the price, but I've paid $40-50 for some of mine. Worth every penny - they're gonna last me a lifetime assuming I don't get fat or use them as a noose (in which I suppose they'd still last me a lifetime...)

Replacing one every couple of months doesn't make much financial sense - $100 for two belts (black, brown) now that will last ~3-5 years is cheaper than buying and replacing $20 belts every 6 months.

>>10445476
Oh, that's what I'd consider cheap/affordable anyways. I thought you were telling me to spend £300 on some designer meme belt with an obnoxious buckle logo or something.

Where do you get your belts from?

>>10445493
>Where do you get your belts from?
No particular place, honestly. I recently got a Nordstrom belt on sale (don't judge me, I just wanted a light tan to go with some shoes I purchased) that's surprisingly high quality - they run around $50, but honestly have a great feel and construction for being some bullshit store brand:

Allen Edmonds has good belts too, but they're surprisingly pricier than I remember.

>>10445078
you look like charlie day from always sunny

>>10445078

>>10445476
I bought a piece of shit chaps reversible like 3 months ago and it still looks fine

it goes very nicely with my twill fedora

>>10445512
So hobocore?
>>10445517
Fuck I need to work on that pose

>>10445630
Nah that's a great pose

>>10445233
untuck your tee, cuff your jeans and you're decent

>>10445740
I thought untucking was a taboo?

>>10445133
You're a fucking moron and I hope OP doesn't listen to your god awful "advice"

OP, the outfit looks dece, I've been following your shit for the past few days and its a huge improvement. Good job on choosing sneakers over loafers. The jeans fit kind of weird, I would suggest finding some better fitting pants with a taper, and cuffing them. Good job regardless, keep it up.

>>10445233
Looking at you I'm starting to realize you're not nearly as fat as I thought. Untuck the shirt and cuff the jeans. The jeans aren't inherently bad but you shljld really really look into finding some slimmer jeans with a tapered leg.

>>10445767
Thanks! Its not just here in this thread you guys have been helping. The armycore idea came from another place and was reaffirmed on mine.
As for that guys comment, see>>10445202

>>10445774
Should I do a side view? That might help with the wieght thing
>>10445512
Should I go for a charlie day core for tomorrow? I like the whole blazer hoodie thing he does from time to time...

>>10445784
I'm honestly not sure. I think it's a combo of the jeans being a tad unflattering and the low angle of your camera. If you could find a way to get your camera at chest level or so you might look better. Its not any sort of necesity, if you really look you can tell you're not gigantic, its just that first glance. I would still suggest losing weight or toning up but its not like you're hueg.

Needs new pants and lose the belt

Also I have the same jacket, also my grandfathers. My mom wore it when she was young and passed it on to me halfway through high school

It's been patched a lot over the years (tried to show in pic) and needs more

>>10445858
Oh, I know Im not huge. But your definitly right excercise is never a bad thing!
>>10446008
Definite on both accounts
Happy to see another man of the cloth, cant beat a jacket with memories

>>10445154
Because it looks bad. Far more fashionable people have tried and failed to wear legit army jackets.

And please don't tell him to cuff, that will look even worse.

>>10445164
Because it looks bad. This isn't about making a political or personal statement, it's about creating a good outfit. That shirt should be kept in the closet and saved for special family occasions or when you've mastered your look enough to incorporate it in a way that works. It's not going to work now, sorry fam.

>>10445784
Please don't take fashion cues from Charlie from IASIP. His character is a crazy loser and his outfit reflects that--he's the veritable schizophrenic army vet or hobo who gets his clothes from second hand shops. That's not a style you want to crib.

>>10445749
If anything, tucking a t shirt is the faux pas. Most people don't tuck t shirts

>>10446087

I'm not talking about his specific situation. I'm talking about in all cases. When people say this it's always a political statement.

>>10445233
You improved! But that buckle still is pure terror. Promise to never wear those shoes from the all black outfit ever again. EVER.

>>10446418
Those shoes are my life, no promises.
The buckles gonna have a brother soon...hopefully a better loved one

>>10445078
Dr. Pavel, I'm F.A.

>>10446484
Just go buy a normal black and brown one to match with shoes.
Im sorry but there is no alternative for dropping those shoes. They were hideous and Im honestly trying to help you here.

>>10446567
I was talking about belts. Normal buckle.

>>10446008
I also have that jacket from my grandfather, you know what era this is from? I'm pretty sure he was in korea so I'm assuming 1950's

>>10445078
that belt buckle is just terrible

>>10445128
russia still hates america

>>10446567
Tomorrow
>>10446572
Yup
>>10446617
Its all about the patches, for me it was picture. Its the United States Southern Command patch roughly '63 ish.
Any notable patches, I could pry help
>>10446632
>>10446634
Yes to both, I get it. Its flashy. Tomorrow it will be replaced.
I have certain days I plan for shopping.
I also have certain funds Im capable of using

>>10446789
The picture would help for the patch

>>10446617
I'm the guy you quoted, my grandfather was in the army reserve during the Korean war. Never stationed.

My other grandfather was substantially higher-up during WWII but he was a combat medic and saw horrifying shit and has largely hid all of his WWII stuff away

>>10446850
Cant blaim him, medics see a lot of stuff.
My uncle was one during desert storm, the few times he talks about it arent a good sight.
He hides a lot of it with humor, but you can tell...

>>10445078
You're just as lovely
As you used to be

How's your new love
Are you happy?

>>10446928
So glad someone noticed it.
You are based, anon

Sorry guyx, today will be the day I prepare for tomorrow
