[QUOTE=Splash Attack;43649945]So, I'm going bald at the young age of 19 (started noticing a couple years ago), and I'm thinking it may be time to shave my head. It's gotten to the stage of having practically a ridiculous combover.
Honestly, I would kill to have luscious hair so I could do shit like [I]THIS[/I]:
[I]*wipes drool*[/I]
Seriously, though. I want to be confident and feel like this is starting to hold me back. What do you guys think?
[editline]23rd January 2014[/editline]
It may be worth noting that people always think I look more like I'm 24, even wearing a hat and shit. I would post a picture, but I don't have one readily available and can't be assed to take one right now. I can get on that tomorrow if you guys insist, though.[/QUOTE]
I noticed my hairline and sides are thinning and more hair than normal is falling out, it's a terrible feeling :( Ive had mild psoriasis on my scalp almost my entire life and I recently started using t/sal and t/gel and it seems to be slowing down the hair loss, hopefully for good. Idk what I would do if I was faced with actual balding, I have terrible self esteem issues. You can post in [url]http://www.reddit.com/r/tressless/[/url] for help and advice btw.
[QUOTE=smoothkriminal;43663176]Just get a backpack. messenger bags are incredibly hard if not impossible to pull off.[/QUOTE]
I go to college in the city and I personally think messenger bags look way better than backpacks. I feel ridiculous wearing a backpack after having to have used a messenger bag for so long (to carry my art stuff)

Kind of leaning towards the first one, but Im not sure how good the fabric is, since I want to carry a laptop in it. Opinions?
the material on that second one looks pretty horrid imo
leather looks terribly cheap on both and the fabric looks aaaaaawful on the second. not to mention the color scheme on the first could be a lot better if the bag was dark blue or olive
So I found myself a sweet backpack when I was in Switzerland.
It's from 1956 and is an actual Swiss army backpack, I found it at a thrift shop in Basel.
Bought it for 20 euros! They are actually quite rare and selling on eBay for 200 dollars +.
The quality is amazing, made by a saddler by hand.
I'm so happy! Mine is the type on the right:

I like the one on the left a lot more personally

The closest to olive would be this

but then Im not completely impressed by it. But I can't expect a lot for 30€.

awesome, I've been thinking about getting a Germany army backpack to replace my current one once it breaks
[editline]26th January 2014[/editline]
I wish the East German rain camo backpacks were bigger though <:(
[QUOTE=MakoSkyDub;43677679]I like the one on the left a lot more personally[/QUOTE]
Well mine has exactly the same colors as the left one, the dark leather en darker salt pepper canvas. It also looks a bit slimmer as the one on the right. I love it!

Thanks for the tip. I'll look inot this.
Anyway, I finally got around to taking a picture of myself. What do you guys think? Should I chop it all off?

This is after grooming it for a few minutes to get it to look just right, fyi.
i think you should totally do it, i don't think it'd look bad at all

This picture would be SO MUCH BETTER if you didn't have that hair, so yes. Being pinned down to a shaved head isn't at all ideal obviously, but people can make it work very well. Once you're a skinhead you won't have a receding hairline anymore, so it probably worth it either way. Just make it part of your deal, a positive rather than a necessity.

this sounds odd but I think you'd suit being a skinhead more than you'd suit having a full head of hair, you've got the right shape head for it

saw this on c-t, didn't know jnco still existed, much less made unoffensive (good looking, even) shirts. looks cool
Thanks for the advice guys. I really appreciate it. Do you think I should go completely bare-headed or should I just keep it really short like my stubble/thin beard?
[editline]27th January 2014[/editline]
[QUOTE=D3TBS;43687140]change of glasses would help too[/QUOTE]
I've been thinking about doing that too. Any ideas on what style I should get?
Unfortunately, I'm not due for a new pair for a few months, though.
[url]http://www.warbyparker.com/eyeglasses/men/burke[/url]
a pair like these maybe
warby parker has this thing where you can get five pairs for free, try them on, then send back the ones you don't want and keep the ones you do
[QUOTE=Splash Attack;43689441]Thanks for the advice guys. I really appreciate it. Do you think I should go completely bare-headed or should I just keep it really short like my stubble/thin beard?[/QUOTE]
I would be inclined to keep it clean
I was at the store and I saw this
[img]http://i.imgur.com/qwkfipt.jpg[/img]
7 dollars
on clearance
only size was 2x :(
so big I dont even think I could shrink it down in the dryer, and I don't even know why I liked it so much.
honestly its pretty generic and """hipster"""
deer heads are kinda trademark for that kind of thing, and then its just on a grey heather sweatshirt

boop
i dont know if its the angle, but your feet look real small.
So it's getting warmer outside, and living in arizona I gotta try my hardest not to die from heatstroke every day so my long sleeved shirts gotta go to the back of the dresser. What do you guys think are some good short sleeved shirts? Should I just go to H&M and splurge on V-necks and shit?
uniqlo
