/fa/ - Fashion

Old thread hit limit.

Here's my failed experiment of the day. The colours didn't work and the fit of the clothes didn't mesh well together, I feel.

Other constructive criticism is welcome

here's what I graduated to afterwards

Well the verdict is A Quiet Place and Isle of Dogs were good but not great movies.

>>13283618
Very nice. Green upper half and red lower half. I like it. The shoes are the only problem. With a pinroll like that, wear ankle boots or your trousers will look too short and your ankles like straws.
Don't let yourself get discouraged by the negative feedback you've been getting btw, keep on experimenting. This seems very tame compared to your other outfits, it's hardly milsurp at all. I hope you're not letting it get to you and trying to "fit in" with the underage homosexual men of /fa/ of all peoples.

>>13283624
Good as long as the jacket is closed. Belt too big or pants rise too high.

Also just walking around the city center, managed to spot:
DPM (No surprise)
French CCE
US Air Force tiger stripe
A plethora of commercial patterns, mostly duck hunter copies

Brits love some of that surplus.

>>13283827
No no, I was just looking at a lot of tame-er inspo last night :)

Thanks for the crits - that's a good point about the shoes.

>>13283817
A very cute picture.
I'll also see Isle of Dogs in a few weeks.

>>13283831
The pants are one size up from what I normally wear. I usually do 30x32 , these are 32x32 so it's both but it's a result of me sizing up.

>>13283770
Oh don't worry, I have. Ebay is indeed great. I don't really have problems with buying even from the most imperialist/capitalist armies though because the money that they get from selling surplus is pretty negligible compared to their budgets of billions of dollars per year. Still much more ethical than buying H&M.

>>13283837
I liked it personally, she;s not as big a fan. It's not as strong as other Wes Anderson stuff, obviously Fantastic Mr Fox was in a league of it;s own, but still worth a look.

>>13283618
The jumper and shoes seem a little out of place, but the pants and jacket look nice

>>13283624
>blue jeans
Straight fit heavily faded black jeans are my go-to

>>13283618
Aside from that ugly sweater and the way you rolled up your pants, this is pretty good.

Reccomend me a watch guys.

>>13283892
Electronika stuff is pretty interesting.

>>13283894
The later models are straight digital, but the first model (1) is honest to god LED's.

>>13283847
>Count Surpula

>>13283892
Vostok Komandirskie or Vostok Amphibia if you're into commie shit.
CWC G10 if you're a bongaboo.
Omega Seamaster for maximum secret agent swagger.

>>13283910
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202279039682

These look to be in really good condition, but before I bite have I missed anything obvious?

>>13283957
They look perfectly fine to me brah.

>>13283864
I would replace these with black jeans very quickly if i found a well-fitted pair

>>13283860
Thanks - will keep it in mind.

>>13283959
I'm getting field instead of dress because I don;t want to be slipping all over the place.

>>13283971
The soles are generally not great anyways. Upgrade to re-enactment jackboots once you save enough cabbage

>>13283982
Alrighty, sure.

>>13283971
Fair enough. Besides, the grain will eventually flatten out once you've worn, oiled and polished the boots enough.

>>13283892
Old soviet or Chinese mechanicals on ebay, Tiger Concept sterile submariner clone (Actually well made for a Rolex ripoff) any old casio on a NATO. Any old field watch, Seiko 5s are nice field watches but there are many others online that don't cost much at all.

>>13283624
Not half bad if you changed the boots

>>13283817
this pic makes me want to kill myself

>>13283624
Looks like anorexic skinhead, and those boots look ridiculous.

>>13283817
Did you have sex with this person tel?

>>13283843

>>13284224
This is a hilarious response in a milspo thread. Should we just start ostracizing this troll by ignoring it?

>>13283618
You're right that it doesn't completely work, but you're on the right track. Try that jacket with those pants in combination with other clothes.

>>13283618
do you have prosthetic legs or something?

>>13284537
this is a tangent but honestly prosthetic legs are the most effay. s/o to the one legged anon from the lunarcore threads-- nothing is more effay

>>13284537
>>13284585
Haha , I do not. Just a very slim guy

>>13284259
I don't think you know how that accusation works.

>>13284144
That's probably not healthy.

>>13284220
I may do.

And in mostly interesting ways.

Right now, enough weirdness for the day.

I have had an order on hold for 2 weeks at Varusteleka because of this :P

>>13284952
samefag

Heres how black those m1951s got

>>13285527
Using some minor wizardry, I tapered and hemmed the bottom of the pants

here's how they look now rolled and unrolled, with and withoug booties.

>>13285009
Tel, wear this fit into the city Centre and take a snap of yourself at a landmark. I dare you :p

>>13285012
This is the strap-on chick? I get the allusion....naughty!

>>13284264
Legit fuck off you sad sack larping pos!

>>13283615
Can someone recommend me a good, light milspo jacket for summer? Preferrably olive/gray without camo though.

Something swedish maybe, and M59 or:

My go-to twave look, but its getting too warm for the jacket now...

>>13286244
Got any new fits?

>>13286256
Looks fucking dreadful

>>13286406
I don;t produce things that quickly.

I don't have much actual military surplus clothing anymore. Back ten years ago when I was a skinny airsoft kid I had tons, but since then I've sold or given away almost everything and replaced it with commercial tactical stuff.

>>13283831
>>13283864
>>13284134
There's no way people think this looks good....

>>13283624
This looks awful, and those boots are like two sizes too big for you

>>13286497
>>13286497
They arent though, that is the size of my feet

>>13286541
compared with the same size in a different boot model

Aim for

>>13286553
Ambivalence.

>>13286543
there's like good inch extra in that toe box

>>13286567
no there isn't my feet are flush with the back of the boot. You know that means that my feet move forward a 1/2 inch when they get put inside, right?

Your toes shouldnt press against the front of the boot :P

>>13286575
Regardless, they still look silly on you.

>>13286575
maybe get boots that fit you better, because the biggest issue really is that the shaft is too big and looks awkward

>>13286560
Bud, I like you, but no.

>>13286553
pic relevant. I dont like these though , I want to replace with real marschstiefel

>>13286582
Welp, I like them anyways. I'm SOL because I have long skinny feet.

>>13286594
Oops

>>13286583
the shaft is too... big? like tall? it's as tight as it can get

>>13286582
>>13286583
comparison

>>13286541
What are the boots on the right?

>>13286610
Canadian jump boots

>>13286586
Ah you got to have a bit of fun with life.

>>13286256
I like it. But the knife pose? Come on.

>>13286553
>>13286560
Amen.
And I like that outfit, it's actually very pretty.

>>13286605
Honestly those Canadian boots look better on you than the US ones. Not saying they look "good", but the US ones are just good awful terrible.
Maybe try wearing them over some thicker pants so your legs don't look so spindley. I think it's the sharp contrast in proportions that's making you a mess.

>>13286671
Im open to the possiblity that they do, but i have had people say 'wow those boots look way better than the old ones' (in reference to the Pic relevant mkiv that i used to wear)

>>13286560
Oi! You got a loicence for that obscene image?

You could pass for a Mityok. You have that mentally ill artistic jesus vibe on lock.

Too bad you're an insufferable attention whoring faggot.

>>13286739
Lol this freak has Marfans syndrome. There’s something wrong here!

>>13286739
>>13286776
Hey Telnyashkabro, I wanted to ask you a favor;

If you have a Flecktarn parka can you take a pic of it on and tell me the BW size + your height/chest. I ordered a BW size 2 (from kommando store dyed black which srinks it a bit apparently) and I'm 188cm/99cm chest but I'm nervous that it might be too small.

Going to drink an absinthe tonic and post some operator inspo in an attempt to save this thread.

>>13287183
Here....have some of this!

>>13287228

Why don't you just go start your own thread if you don't like this one? There's no rule saying he can't post and you can't force him out (especially since he's been doing this for years and doesn't care) so just move along and stop being dramatic snowflakes

>>13287242
Haha - he looks pretty confident, doesn't he?

save yourself the embarassment

>>13287253
same person here - I respect your desire NOT to have him here, but if you have been here for any length of time you know better than to expect him to leave and I suppose we should know better than to expect you to shut up :P

>>13287259

hey look - civilian clothes patterned after military clothed. They were milspo'd!

This man was right. Faggots need to be put in the closets. This shit is so fucking obnoxious.

You're in the minority these days, good luck with that unless you want to end up infringing someones rights

>>13287263

>>13287266

>>13287266
It's about as useful as arguing Hitler was right, so let's not. Let's just post milspo and agree to disagree, the arguing goes nowhere. It doesn't make sense to alienate other people who like army shit because there's already so few of us and we're all pretty abnormal one way or another :P

>>13287276

I actually like mr. telny, though admittedly his exhibitionist shitposting and the way it derails these threads is tiresome.

This is how I usually leave the house - the other fits are generally experiments I wouldn't go farther than walking the dog in :P

Holy shit if that were white linen i’d cop in a heartbeat

>>13287443
idea: Buy it, then tear it apart and use it as a pattern for making yourself a white linen one.

>>13287439
the man selftimes his photos like me, it really doesn't help the overall look.

The ones other people shoot look consistently better

>>13287313
What kind of jacket should I buy to wear with this sort of fit?


I don't have anything black or civilian looking - looking for recommendations.

>>13287486
something baggy af to hide those man tits

>>13287511
it's just the cut of the sweater, don't sound so hopeful ;)

it's probably a universal law or truth or something and we need the jerks to keep the balance.

>>13287026
I have a size 13 and I'm 6ft with 42-44" chest. I bought it to copy for the Karst parkas, there wasn't any planning behind the size. Fits okay though.

>>13287284
Pros and cons.

After all, I have to get some joy out of this bunch of uptight self-conscious kids.

>>13283957
You realize these things have a pretty bad fit right? Be prepared to actually learn how to do foot wraps. Only thing that really makes them comfy since they were designed for them.

>>13287026
>>13287993
Which on further investigation, might mean you're in for a slim fit.

>>13288095
We'll soon find out.

>>13287993
Cheers for doing that m8, I forgot to mention that I do already have a fleck parka and it's #12 but the damn thing comes down just right above (like 15cm) my knees.

pic related this is an ooold '15 photo back when I was like 70ishKG and first got it (84kg now) and it looks massive compared to yours and even still today it looks like it fits exactly the same.

In your expert opinion do you think a size 2 will be a too small?

>>13287993
>I'm 6ft with 42-44"
>>>13287242

I'm a little more fit than you and my chest is 40", size M

>>13287998
Cool crowley cosplay

>>13288104
I think you'll just get into it, but you'll never get more than a thin layer underneath.

>>13288119
Someone requested it.

Also weird considering I'm a bit shorter than you.

>>13287993
Picrel is what a generic size photo model looks like. Notice his fitness and chest size. Now notice yours >>13287242

>>13288128
I'm not sure I get what you're getting at. Take into account I don;t like tight fits.

>>13288130
The guy told you his height and chest size, which probably meant his actual chest size?

Telny might like this one heh.

>>13287998
Haha nice brah! You did it. You aren’t evil tho. You’re a good lad!

>>13288133
I'm still not really following. I can fit something smaller but I find it uncomfortable. measurement shows me at 38" but I'd never wear anything that small. Like I said though, that is why I am of the opinion that it will fit him, but tightly.

>>13288171
A man after my own heart.

Where do my fellow /fa/gs get their milsurp from online? I've seen a few links being posted, but there's no sticky so these stores aren't immediately there for me and others to look at without asking.

i'm a filthy quarter-paki and inherited olive skin so military colors look alright on me, do any of y'all have any good recs for mil style summer wear for women

>>13288367
Look into hot country milsurp, some European field shirts are very good in summer too. Modern norwegian stuff is quite light, but it;s hit and miss..swedish M90 stuff is like a tarp. Parade/dress/barrack shirts tend to be light enough for summer too.

>>13288323
Europe or US? Cause if you're US raid thrift stores. Otherwise it's a complete mix of which site is good for that. The good all-rounder is Varusteleka.

I've bought from Uncle Sam's, Sportsman's Guide, and KeepShooting, but mostly just eBay.

eBay is for experienced and patient users only.

I do not reccomend that anyone use eBay who is not familiar with model names and prices, you'll get screwed.

Please ask us folks before you rip yourself off because we're happy to tell you what's a good price and what isn't if you want to get into this stuff

>>13288367
Do you hate that quarter of yourself?

I only have my East German great coat and a fleck tarn coat along with a hat. It's not much, but I'll post my fit tomorrow.

How do I make a BDU shirt work with jeans without looking ultra dad-core? Are boots my only option?

Terrible thread.

I remember posting milspo threads on this board for months, seldom getting any responses other than American teenagers asking "w2c jacket" (in response to that one terrible picture of another American teenager in a black dyed flecktarn parka). I remember when that one Anon proposed something called "Freikore", when he posted that one weird graphic of a pair of puttees he photoshopped black, whe nI finally had some people to talk to about actual milsurp, about somewhat rare stuff, I remember "fashwave" faggots trying to claim these threads and failing at it, most of the time. Still, these threads hardly ever reached bump limit. All of this changed when Telny started posting. We finally had someone who was knowledgeable about even rare stuff, who could take original photographs of many things most of us only knew from online shop images, who had the charisma and entertainment value to keep a discussion going, to project an atmosphere of camaraderie - the threads blossomed, and now, shortly after, they reach bump limit consistently. This animosity toward Telny that has manifested over the last few threads may be the voice of a loud minority - whoever you are, be aware that you outed yourself as a newcomer to these threads. My guess is that you are either one of the confused little kids who frequent this board, who deem themselves "effay" and to whom this enclave of /k/ommandos, collectors, weirdos and nazis seems out of line with your homeboard's philosophy of aesthetic cowardice, hence propagating some "general rule of thumb" of "one milsurp item per fit" as if pushing social acceptability to its extremes wasn't the point of these threads from the start, or you're one of the alt-right kids who tried and failed to appropriate these threads some months ago, who seem to have been silenced or weirded out and away ever since Telny arrived.

Perhaps we should just have a two separate threads: "Hard milsurp" for us, "Soft milsurp" for you.

>>13287313
Good! This is like a non-embarrassing version of what that one kid who deemed himself "roofcore" tried to do.
Anyone remember that fucker?

>>13287567
Consider not consuming soy

>>13289134
Christ you really took the one item per-fit thing hard, didn't you chum? The truth of it is Telny and the ones who copy him belong in the fucking cringe thread.

Faggot.

>>13289134

>>13289134
>"Hard milsurp" for us, "Soft milsurp" for you
You're on to something here. There's those people here who want to put military-alluding or inspired items into their civilian dress, and there's those who want to straight up wear milsurp just because. I'd have thought that the latter group can still benefit the former (perhaps not the other way round) but apparently the entire atmosphere becomes simply toxic if both occupy the same thread.

>>13289962

>>13289962
I don't think it's necessary to start a new thread if people just get over themselves, it's mostly just >>13289868 who angry and I'm pretty sure it's one foolio

Also you KNOW if you separate the threads then that person will just hit both.

They don't actually post fits, they just shitpost and try to make people upset. They don't care about the thread, they just thrive on animosity :p

>>13289822
>>13289868

Consider how becoming a nice person might change you and how it might get you some positive attention ;)

You need a lot of attention

I call upon jimmy the tarp god to revive this thread with milspo

I summon milspo Duke Nukem!
Attack his autism points directly!

>>13289920
Heh.

And ref the current debate, I'm pleased it's causing questioning of what exactly is and isn't fashion (apart from being subjective and impossible to quantify). /fa/'s ideas are usually bland and insipid, and where they aren't it's only because it's a set from a single designer all worn together. It shouldn;t be dressing for other people, it should be what fashion can do for you and your own self-expression.
