Re: ramdom thought thread revival

Why is it that everyone on care tags is obsessed about the bit of the trouser that sits near the top of the shoe. I mean it is the most critical part of a fit, but why is it that only we brave few understand its importance. i think we're currently in an age of pant-shoe interface anxiety bc we all ...

Re: Ramdom fashion thoughts

i was at one point seduced by noah's (2017?) look book because the stuff they were peddling gave me a way to "dress like an adult" while still engaging in current trends (wide fit, ankle length chinos being the big one) which at that point had already hit critical mass for certain audience...

Re: Ramdom fashion thoughts

how come wearing a bb ocdb with jpress/babenzien-jcrew chinos and weejuns loafers in 2022 is 'neo-prep' but wearing an ocdb with crusty 511s in 2008 was not/is not 'neo-prep'

isn't wearing an ocdb with twill chinos and loafers, all made by heritage brands, just regular prep

Re: Ramdom fashion thoughts

how does everyone feel about the ubiquity of babenzien prep looks in menswear in the year 2022 (post-skate in the parlance of care-tags 1.0)

Re: Proposal: Removing the voting system

i think we should remove posting entirely. the forum should just be a list of usernames with upvote and downvote buttons next to them. people browsing the forum are allowed to upvote or downvote each user one time every 24 hrs

Re: Proposal: Removing the voting system

i propose that we actually double down on the rep system, and add a new feature that allows users to rep each other's rep comments. so if one user negs a fit pic, other users can either affirm/reject that neg through the micro-rep system

Re: ramdom thought thread revival

What's the read on affordable housing solutions. I feel like the progressive/lefty circles I orbit around are starting to bifurcate where the most 'progressive' minds seem to be very /very/ anti-development because it seems impossible to decouple increasing housing supply and displacement (even if ...

Re: It's really coming down out there

by snow pants i mean the insulated/waterproof pants you wear snowboarding/skiing. not sure if maharishi snopants have any sort of actual insulation/weather proofing features or why they're even called that. are they just meant to have the same shape/silhouette as snow pants?

Re: Buttwear

i throw tons of money at different types of pants only to always rediscover that im not better than a pair of darkrinse levi's 501s. sure 501s look like ass at first but once you break them in theyre essentially perfect and you can completely stop thinking about pants, which for me is the end goal i...

Re: 2022 Vibes

i feel like slim fit denim technology has regressed rapidly since the Golden Age of Slim Fit (the early 10s). The golden ratio used to be 99% cotton 1% elastane because the denim still looked and felt like denim at that ratio but now everything seems to be some weird "flex" blend with larg...

Re: It's really coming down out there

everyone in my city is excited for next week when it will "warm up" to a balmy -11C also im pretty sure its impossible to dress cool in these temps. you basically need to be wearing every warm article of clothing you own under a ski parka and you need to wear either snowpants or long johns...
