How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

[breezer]

Keep in mind that this is a new jacket thread and not what you are wearing today thread. For example, it is 30 degree celsius here today and will likely remain quite hot until December, I am not going to go down from my high rise apartment building to the sidewalk wearing my leather jacket to take a fit pic of a jacket that just arrived. So please do not expect any fit pic until December .

young man it sounds like you lack commitment to this hobby......I'm writing 'must try harder' on your report card...... But seriously....when posting fit pics ( in the appropriate thread ) being outside is a must....not only is the light better, but the background is bound to be more interesting than a hallway, or bathroom door.

reaching out the mods - can we please have a fit pics sticky.....a simple how to guide.....with a few small guide rules......no sweat pants, no untucked shirts, no shorts, no thongs or flip-flops......this is The Fedora Lounge after all.......

Its all about the jacket , everything else is irrelevant.....

Hey I was showing a cool jacket fresh out of the box, didn't think that I would need to pose just to offer pictures for members here who appreciate vintage MC jackets.

Jon no need to defend or explain yourself, your a grown man that shared a cool *** jacket, thats the star of the show, an the POINT and as long as your clothed there is no foul

I could not disagree more...... its about style.....its about something we can't quite put our finger on....its not about what you are wearing but how you wear it........its why one person can make a $100 jacket cool as f*** and how another person looks terrible in a $1000 jacket.....its about lots of things........

I respectfully disagree. The Outerwear section of this forum is NOT GQ magazine. Rather, for the most part, we are merely sharing our experiences with outerwear, supported by photographs when appropriate. The jackets are the focus of the exercise -- everything else is a distant second.

Separately, "style" is entirely subjective and your attempt to mandate your personal style -- e.g., all shirts must be tucked -- is inappropriate. Frankly, I think the "style" you advocate is, in certain respects, unstylish (e.g., tucked shirts). That said, I would never tell you that you must accessorize your jackets in a particular way, and you should not force your style preferences on others.

This is TFL, not Styleforume...

I’ve read your posts and refuse to apologize or make excuses!

That said, for a new jacket, I will sometimes put on pants...or crop the photo at the thighs.

I'm not going to disagree.....I should not have brought my own preferences into this. That was boorish of me and I apologise. But I'll stick with the broader point that fit pics are worth taking a little care and forethought over. Certainly out of the box pictures are just that.....they are a different thing all together. I'll get my coat.....

Nice. That’s not a sarcastic nice. You apologized while also holding firm, works for me. TFL can be passionate but also gentlemanly, been proving that a lot recently.

I wasn't being entirely serious.......but yes, I have done fit pics for my own acquisitions.....see below. But what I would say is always go outside to do your pics.....find somewhere to rest your camera if you don't have a tripod......and try to look your best! I am even more opposed to leather jackets with shorts, than I am to over-long sleeves....and thats saying something!

OK, can we compromise?

I know I'm repeating myself..but an untucked shirt under a leather jacket only looks sloppy IMO although it seems to be the 'fad' now for some.

Agree to disagree.

Men not tucking in their shirts has been a common practice for as long as I can remember -- certainly for over thirty years ( https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/27/style/untucked-shirts-male-uniform.html ). Not really a fad anymore. Moreover, the practice is here to stay.

Important distinction: I tuck-in dress/dressy shirts, including with cotton pants. On the other hand, I never tuck-in shirts with jeans. Again, strictly a personal preference for which there is no correct or incorrect approach (no mater how resolute one's preference).

FWIW @HoosierDaddy , I think the tucked look suits you well.

Hey Jonesy , "get back in the kitchen" haha...

AND that endless horizon view is just so '"meh meh"...( NOT !)

 

[El Marro]

Unfortunately, my kitchen is the best option (which has led one unnamed member to regularly belittle me and my kitchen -- rather silly).

I like your kitchen!

Ditto!
I complemented Super on the tile backsplash and stone countertop combination in his kitchen after seeing it as the backdrop to several jacket pics. It is quite nice!

When you check the tracking and see the shipper used “parcel select” to ship....

LOL. True story.

Could not agree more. In a casual setting, I can’t bear the thought of tucking in my shirt. I would never and I quite literally mean, NEVER, tuck in my t shirt. I specifically make sure my shirts (casual button downs or T’s are not too long to require such a thing). That said I have nothing against tucking a shirt in but it feels very formal to me and I reserve that practice for work and weddings.

You have quietly become my hero sir. I mean that. If I wore a hat I’d tip it but please accept my salute.
Do you ever get to Makapu’u beach? I have fond memories there.

Agree. I have asked people to please untuck their shirts many times. I have not tucked a shirt in for at least 35 years. Personal taste, but I dislike the feel and look of a tucked in shirt.

I have shortened many a shirt so that it is suitable to be worn untucked. OCD is my friend.
