I swear I’m not trying to be the lefty of kith, but I keep following him on insta in a sick way just to see how much more absurd and wack he can get.

Anyway, I think Ronnie every month or so opens wikiroulette.co and decides yep “that’s gonna be my next collab”.

Like bruh cmon, Jonah Hill wearing a heavy ass sweater for a summer collection selling kith lemonade with his face on it? What is bro smoking? Almost tempted to sell my kith x FLW sneakers because it’s embarrassing to be associated with kith now. Honestly, it’s so bad that I don’t even remember a time when kith was great. All my recent memories and associations with him are covered in a mountain of mediocre, low effort, uninspired, lame, washed dooky collabs.

Anyways, what’s the most washed brand you know analogous to the Steve Buscemi “how do you do kids” meme?

I know this will upset a lot of people but I stand on the fact that the modern Omega Seamaster divers are some of the ugliest, most un-refined and grotesque watches out there. Where do I start? For starters, the bracelet has zero taper and the link design looks like something from a cheap 70s seiko. The helium escape valve is an abomination sticking out at 10 o clock which offers no practicality for most people and is largely a gimmick. There is no cohesion to this watch. The hands are atrocious, the wavy dial is gimmicky, the clasp is about the size of an ancient spartan shield, and it looks like an awkward franken-watch that is attempting to be both dressy and sporty but achieving neither. In my head it's attempting to be that perfect "hybrid" watch for Omega, analogous to the Rolex Date-Just or Cartier Santos, but it lacks all the charm of those watches.

Vintage Seamasters are amazing and I am not knocking the movement of this watch (it is very good). I just think visually, it is quite hideous and honestly I don't know why it's so popular. Do people like it because it's "ugly but cute" in a similar vein to Crocs or Birkenstocks? Or do people just love James Bond that much and are willing to overlook the $7000 furuncle on their wrist?

Please share your hot takes!

It’s literally the quintessential tank model but all we have are a large automatic and quartz models.

We just want a medium yellow gold tank with a manual movement!

I’ve been into watches probably longer than fashion so I’ve always been curious, what you guys daily? Do you even wear a watch? Do you consider it unnecessary or more fashion nowadays given that they are largely relegated to the realm of beautiful antiquated objects? Do you think about them when designing outfits?

My grail and daily is a vintage Cartier Santos Galbee. I find it much more elegant and refined compared to the modern Santos. I can literally wear this watch with any outfit and it works. Monochrome, earth tones, T shirt, suit, whatever. It works.

Curious to see what y’all rock.

I know this is a very open ended question and the history of streetwear has spanned several decades and that there are different sub genres of streetwear.

For me the answer unequivocally is the Air Jordan 1. I don’t think any other sneaker has had more cultural influence than this sneaker. It’s a classic, quite versatile in different styles and has remained relevant for 40 years.

That is incredibly hard to do. The supreme box logo hasn’t done that. Bape camo hasn’t had that staying power. Stussy is the goat but it doesn’t have the same cultural cache as the Jordan brand.

It’s instantly recognizable and even though currently it’s a little less popular than in years past, sneakers are making a comeback amongst the masses and this shoe will be on the top again imo.

Let me know your thoughts and what pieces you consider the greatest of all time. It doesn’t have to be footwear, it can be any fashion item.

Thought this was an interesting idea. I was looking back at some of the older fits my younger self thought were peak, and it was cool to see how it changed over the years. Some things stayed the same while others didn’t. I went through the skinny jean phase where I wore nothing but Express tees two sizes too small, my MFA phase, my ALD fucc boi phase and now I’m not sure what I am. I suppose a mix of everything that came before. I’m continuing to learn and try different things though I’m far more comfortable in my style than I was before. It’ll be curious to see what I look like in another 15 years.

Hopefully this starts a trend of you guys posting similar collages.

Feel free to roast, but post fits if you do so we can roast you back.

Dweeb mods may remove this so I also posted it on my subreddit /r/threadtalks if this gets taken down.

I mean, it’s clear that Ronnie has been putting out absolute dogshit cornball products with the lamest possible collaborations known to mankind for the last few years but, this is a new low for me. Jimmy Fallon and a Sandwich shop? Is the dude literally just pulling ideas out of a random idea generator and running with it? Does he have anyone else in his company to tell him no?

I don’t even want the old kith back anymore. At this point it’s like watching a very sad movie that gets worse with every scene.

Santos Galbee and a small Panthére

What’s an article of clothing, accessory or piece of footwear that you purchased that you get so much use out of, it’s considered one of your best purchases ever?

For me it’s my red wing flatboxes. I think they perfectly straddle the spectrum all the way from dressy to rugged in a way that few boots do. There’s just enough brown details where I can wear it with earth tones, but it also looks perfect in an all black monochromatic outfit. The cherry on top is the Klondike leather which reveals brown undertones over time as the top coat wears off. Unlike most red wings, it’s quite sleek and the toe box collapses with time. It also has tonal stitching which adds to its versatility unlike most RW with that one white stitch which reads super casual.

I used to watch his stuff like crazy back in the day. Occasionally, he had some poignant insights into the nature of fashion and style, but 90% of his vids are idle babbling. Dude had jokes on occasions

If so and you’d like a place to discuss every manner of men’s and woman’s fashion, please join /r/threadtalks. I made it as a common hub for fashion nerds from all corners of the internet (streetwear, haute couture, menswear, vintage, prep etc) to gather and nerd out about fashion history, construction, theory and personal style. It’s not catered towards beginners rather those with some sense of style and knowledge, which you guys clearly have more in the heritage world. Please join if you’re interested and I look forward to seeing your contributions!

Wanted to share a quick inspo album of pure unadulterated costumes. We all know better than to wear anything remotely close to what’s pictured outside of maybe Halloween, but this is purely for entertainment purposes and to laugh at. None of these individuals come close to replicating the heat we regularly drop on fit check Fridays.

We all know anything superfluous that does not have a function (think bandana, extra layers, hats etc) are purely performative, unnecessary and should only be worn by post modern feminists who read Kafka on the Shore in public. It is crucial you wear nothing outside of a Bronson Henley, Lemaire loafers, MFpen pants and an Evan Elordi jellyfish semen-died shirt.

Anyways, I hope you guys can enjoy a rare look at these creatures in their natural habitat. Gaze upon them as you may a group of wild orangutans at the zoo. However, be careful, as they’ve been known to snatch our legacy belts and whip their owners with them in the blink of an eye. I shudder as I write.

If you want to see more stupid costumes please join /r/ThreadTalks where we talk about costumes outside the realm of post minimalist NY based brands masquerading as Japanese ones.

Yes the normale is the original tank but their most famous model is the Louis Cartier. Out of all the references I would say the Cartier Tank Louis Cartier Ref. 78086 from the 1970s–80s is the quintessential version. It is yellow gold, with a white Paris dial, Roman numerals, blued hands, and manual-wind movement in the perfect classic size.

Do you guys think any other ref takes the crown for quintessential Tank Louis?
