don't think of it as meat
think of it as tenderly roasted fatty subtly sweat meat contrasted by the bitterness of the pickled onions and crunchy salty crunchy textured fried bread

waxed cotton field jacket
one of the millions they produce.

clearly barbour
just saw this, the newscaster was in barbour too

a nice thick texture rich peacoat with enough body to hold its own is hard to beat. they're simple, classic, and informal enough it's not hard to pull them off with some sneakers or denim/leather footwear

it's just a good jacket to throw on when you want to look groomed but not all out. great heritage vibe too if you find the right one.

if you're not tall though, tailoring is vital.

/out/ makes fun of us over here for our 'tech wear' style
mall ninjas they call us
they're right though, they have a much better understanding of utility than us and care a lot less about dead bird logos
but they have a bit of a flaw too, deeming anything expensive as useless, a lot of them don't discover decent fabrics and technology because they consider it adapted overpriced fashion trend crap, they think it's made for imitators with fat wallets like fat chicks in lululemon.

I own 7 merino items, four of which are polypropylene blends from four different companies, two soft shells and one hard. I use at least three daily.

>Merino's best for a base, but poly fleece is superior for a mid. Faster drying, both of wicked-away sweat and any other moisture that gets in it, and more durable.

yeah.

fleece under a shell depends on the weather, I'm highly active when I'm in mine so I actually don't know what it's like to be standing still, but fleece should be enough on its own with a decent base layer unless its raining, and if it's raining opt for a merino base and just the shell, unless its terribly cold and raining, then you have to play with your layers a bit to find what suits your particular energy output or you'll sweat balls in fleece + shell

for top and bottom heavy, that covers too broad a scope to imply it just looks bad, work with a silhouette to create something interesting and balance it. not many competent examples of that going on here.
lack of contrast? which contrast. value, colour, saturation, hue, texture, sheen, shape, drape, linearity, probably more
contrast is just a word we employ when describing polar differences between objects. when you find what elements of each object oppose the other, the characteristics of either become more obvious. contrast is an intelligent method of making each piece more valuable by designating its difference between the others more clearly.
this makes you interesting to look at vs boring or confusing.

/fa/ can't expand on criticism because most people who are vocal critique for their own reasons. they take shots because it makes them feel better, not because they care to make anyone else dress better.

>>7215219
doesn't know shit about warmth

OP what kind of shell do you have and why are you doing this? fleece isn't often chosen for style so will it always be under a shell or do you want it to look good by itself?

No, cap toes were classically put on for the sake of rigidity. Rigidity is the antithesis of formality in the fashion world. A plain toe is the most formal, in the sense of strictness and simplicity. wings are social formal and not rigid, so they side on being more formal than a cap (unless military) but less professional than plain. Add brogue to be more social and less formal

>>7055038
CP * not caps. Fuck this phone

Chino is more casual smart than denim, caps are the only snkeaer I can think of that look smarter than most things. Boots with a flat sole and a thin round toe box preferably black because I hate desert boots. Want to look rugged? Cap toe. Want to look formal? Wingtip. Want to look formal with a flare? Brogue. Want to play it safe? None of the above.

no*3

Straight leg unfaded jeans, some plain canvas converse or addidas gazelle/ samba and a plain white/blue ocdb never striped.
That's the closest I can get to your look but you could do better with something other than running shoes and denim to better match a button up for a smarter look

I thought I was in a waywt thread

>>6996895
crispy stacks clash with the robust leathery round suple-like geometry of the shoes
I know when I don't like something and I know when I do like something, this contrast looks interesting but it's very focal whereas the upper isn't, which I think makes the fit unbalanced in not a pleasant way

I like the design and shape of the jacket, it''s just the flat lackluster nature that has no synergy with the rambunctious nature of the shoe/pants
The jacket or you needs SOME sort of accessory, ad a focal point somehow, and this fit to me would look incredible. until then, I see simplicity stacked ontop of madness and I don't like it as much as I could

good god yes

if you post it in context we might be able to arrive at it's source

why is this taking days
why don't you wear a hat
buy some of this and wash your hair. it's conditioner, it doesn't strip anything so it's the safest thing to do if your no poo,
I've got thin hair and I've been using this for years, no poo just makes me cringe.

and talk to DIY about your project maybe.

they don't complement white skin, but you can create a pallete with other clothes that do go with your skin as well as timbs
But after being roughed up a bit, colour desaturated, maybe a bit of dirt staining, they can have a nice aesthetic on any skin tone

I think black timbs look better faded too.

anything with drawstrings and nothing without them. remember field jackets aren't really made to look like they fit you in a tailored sense. doesn't mean a very nicely fitting one is bad, but not really true to its origin.
>>6936844
where to cop, where to buy

>>6936818
yeah
I think drawstrings would ruin the aesthetic (they wrinkle)
velcro would probably cause just a few small folds in the concealed areas to the side of each arm
maybe you'd like a thinner strip?
don't know, I just like it.
half of my jackets have some form of tapering mechanism, would hate them if they didn't, but nothing velcro

Maybe they should make interior velcro straps with a flap to prevent aggravating the skin?

taper: yes
visible velcro: no
gross wrinkles from drawstrings: no

why does this not exist.

>>6936765
do you not know what it's for or do you just dislike the way they executed it?

I think it's great, would even like to find a way to install it on some of my tech jackets.
it doesn't need to go all the way around but it extends the design used in the cuffs for a uniform look. change the waist, you'd have to change the cuff as well.

>>6933251
that's not really a silouhette, it's just an image of the front of a coat
I'm almost positive they're doing some shit in the back to present it like that, or his arms are holding it still from swinging closed.

is it the collar/zipper/button style you really want? just looks like a random interpretation of a long black coat, not worth ripping off and easy to find.

pink sleeveless fleece tracksuit
this is my fetish
