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 mean I really like the washed black and fit on this sweatshirt but why is it $700 + tax...

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.

Since every single dude in places like London, New York, Berlin, LA etc is now a runner, I was wondering what we're saying about style on that. Are we going old school with washed out t shirts and short pants or full gore tex and Oakley shades?

this allows for a meditative start before getting lost in the noisy and rhythmic beauty of the old looms.

Man wtf 😭

Past few posts with this theme got me looking back at my fits. Its interesting to see the common threads running through the years and how they feed into my style now. Pics in reverse chronological order so if you're following along, scroll back to front.

In the late 00s, early 10s I started to get into fashion beyond just skinny jeans, hot topic belts, and black band tees. I copped some APC PNS and clarks desert boots and basically tried to emulate a late 00s jcrew catalog.

Spent the first half of the 10s inspired by our lord and saviour Hedi Slimane (pbuh), dropped like 20lbs and basically stumbled into a weird mix of Tumblr, dior homme (had those 17.5cm MIJs), and internet meme fashion with the common projects. Definitely my awkward feeling things out era. The fits here are probably the least bad I still have access to...

Second half of the decade went deeper down the rabbit hole, discovered Y!JP and reverted back to my alt roots but with MUCH more expensive pieces. Lots of Julius, Guidi, Anne D, thrifted womenswear, and some Tricky Ricky. Still very happy with a lot of these fits tbh.

Started hitting the gym during Covid and bulking up. I wasnt in a spot to re-buy bigger things, and finding JP sizes 2-3 was a lot harder than copping size 1s for pennies. Kept the all black but simplified the execution a lot. Lots of tight pants here in hindsight though at the time I guess I would've called them slim lol.

After a while of wearing all black, I hit my "I should start dressing like an adult" phase. Lots of americana and ivy here. Started getting back into raw denim too. I like a lot of these fits and still have a lot of the pieces, but it always felt a little bit too much like a costume (or a copy+paste from Drakes/ALD) which is why....

The last set is kind of a synthesis of everything to date. Touching on heritage biker wear with the engineer boots, studded belts, pins, and chains to capture some of that alternative energy. Kept the trad/menswear proportions with tucked shirts, but also began leveraging crop tops to hit the same visual break. And overall dropped a lot of the color and vibrancy (intentionally) to differentiate the overall aesthetic from the broader heritage revival.

I'm on the lookout for a black zip hoodie, two way zip would be nice but not essential and something with a bit of a cropped fit, also not looking to spend a.presse money on hoodie. I've listed some options but I'd like to know what else is out there that I should consider.

The photos shared in order are from Unlikely, Beach Brains, Larriet and entire studios.
