[QUOTE=Dysentery;43032484]actually how's [URL="http://www.hm.com/us/product/19007?article=19007-B"]this[/URL] instead?[/QUOTE] better than the first one but still not as good as just the generic baseline zip-up. honestly i'd recommend you look for something with some nice subtle detailing rather than weird/ugly designs or anything like that
[QUOTE=Dysentery;43032484][editline]30th November 2013[/editline] actually how's [URL="http://www.hm.com/us/product/19007?article=19007-B"]this[/URL] instead?[/QUOTE] I wish they showed the model with the hoodie zipped all the way up, the reason they didn't is probably because it doesn't look as good as they would like it to. As others pointed out, the first one is a bit too busy, but I quite like it. But I'm also a guy who bought 3 different sweaters one after another, only to return them the next day because I changed my mind, so don't listen to me :v:
[QUOTE=Rusty100;43031721]wait, are you saying living long makes you boring? what[/QUOTE] that's what you picked up on from what I said? it was a joke, but yeah I certainly don't plan on living until I'm like 90 that would suck imagine just sitting there shitting yourself and being incapable of doing anything fun and being treated like you have no idea what you're talking about
[QUOTE=MakoSkyDub;43032332]Found some nice understated shoes from Element of all places [t]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61A%2B0XRal8L._SY575_.jpg[/t] [t]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71ZOslcJhIL._SL1500_.jpg[/t] I really dig the top part of the white rubber being masked to make the sole thinner, I'm a bit sick of the chunky appearance of most sneakers with the fat white strip around the base They're pretty cheap too. The only problem is: [img]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71L4nmodUuL._SX575_.jpg[/img] :v: But it'll never be visible, so.[/QUOTE] clearly hemp not cannabis as that's what the shoes are made of
it's still suggestive though.

My great grandmother voluntarily gave up her license at 92 but was fine driving and being out in the world at that age. She was sharp as a 20 year old at 90, she would always say that it was only her body that told her how old she really was. She died at 95, a few years back. My grandfather, who is 80, and I went hiking in Hawaii last spring, and climbed a moderately technical trail up onto a mountain ridge, with no problems. Granted some people are not lucky enough to retain mobility and freedom but for many they live happy full lives well into old age.

[QUOTE=Shark Cat;43036582]it's still suggestive though.[/QUOTE] Suggestive of what? the plants look the same..
[QUOTE=Raptors!;43028247]Usually the same material and same color is used to make each piece of a suit jacket. Buttons blend into the material, slightly shiny, the suit is suposed to "emphasize" you, if that makes sense. One thing I see people often forget about: leave the bottom button unfastened. I guess the easiest way to to tell a suit jacket and a blazer apart is to look at the buttons: on blazers they are more of an accessory, often made out of brass. Buttons on suit jackets blend in, most of the time they are made out of plastic in the color of the jacket's material.[/QUOTE] so will I have to go to a more formal place to cop a nice blazer? they don't seem to exist in more casual clothing stores
[QUOTE=Angoose;43037658]Suggestive of what? the plants look the same..[/QUOTE] Hemp is Cannabis, just a low THC 'industrial' tall growing variant. Using hemp is totally benign and is a good material and resource but when you plaster cannabis leaves over hemp products you are saying more than "Hemp is a good material to use". That being said, as the liner of a shoe I really wouldn't care.
I need new winter boots, I want them to last me for years, so nothing overly busy, as they tend to look gimmicky after few months.
I don't really see it that way, I see it as 'this shoe is made of hemp, this is what the plant looks like' not '420 blaze it'..
[QUOTE=Raptors!;43038013]I need new winter boots, I want them to last me for years, so nothing overly busy, as they tend to look gimmicky after few months.[/QUOTE] Frye, Wolverine 1000 Mile, Redwing Heritage, Alden, Chippewa. Couldn't go wrong with any of those. Also L.L. Bean Signature line has some nice classic boots as well.

Anyways, on topic, what would you guys consider jeans that are too long? I feel like the jeans I was about to buy were too long, but I might have just been too critical of myself. The bottom wasn't touching the ground or anything, but it was still somewhat wrinkled near the bottom giving slim jeans a slightly baggy look. It might just be better if I order a smaller size online
Need a new jacket, what do you guys think of this? [t]http://images.asos-media.com/inv/media/1/7/3/7/3097371/navy/image1xl.jpg[/t] Its not really flashy or anything but I'm fine with that.
not bad but id look for something more interesting personally

[QUOTE=Shark Cat;43039234]the colour is kinda gross but if there's a better colour then yes, that's worth $13[/QUOTE] This is the only color available. I already have a nice 5 panel that I wear fairly often, I would just just be picking up this one as an alternative.
[QUOTE=Nsybouts;43039252]This is the only color available.

blue shoulder thingies look weird, and so does the front of the collar [editline]2nd December 2013[/editline] you can definitely find a better sweater than that
[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;43040923]blue shoulder thingies look weird, and so does the front of the collar [editline]2nd December 2013[/editline] you can definitely find a better sweater than that[/QUOTE] The collar is what caught my attention, I always preferred sleek sweaters, but on this one I just like how the open collar is a bit messy. I feel like I shouldn't like it, but I do. The strange blue shoulder thingies look much better irl, not sure why they decided to turn up the contrast on the pictures.
quarter zips are gross
shoulder pads are odd but not terrible, the neck looks really, really bad buttoned up
