Ramdom fashion thoughts

cat hair on clothing is essential to a fit

[bels]

This is what I think whenever I send out a parcel. I'm like mm there's some cat hair on it. Then I think "Well I never advertised it as coming from a pet and smoke free home. "

mohair sweaters get better the more the cat hair gets embedded

felting cat hair to make a sweater

does any1 still have their hender schemes

[olympiaitsthewater]

or those number nine shoes with the laces on the side

[thewisdomoftime]

has anyone else had a fascination with trying to find shoes they'll like better than wallabees and failing

the specific constellation of comfort / multivalent use cases / normativity / mild visual interest / gentleness is hard to find elsewhere

[rjbman]

ok so they're called blundstones...

got on the salomon wave and I like them a lot but I sweat through them in a really unappealing way. I feel like this is a good feature for a running shoe but I'm trying to do fashion dammit

maybe related: is gorp dead? it got instagramified pretty heavily but now it seems to have died down. does that mean it's dead? can i still wear my gramicci and and wander or am i cringe now?

[thewisdomoftime]

I feel like gorp is definitely cooling off off off in nyc but I stopped living off the J train (goes directly to noho-soho/chinatown/2-bridges) and am back to the more corporate L train so that could just be it.

arcterks and salomon xt6 are kinda ubiquitous eye-roll generators for me rn. if anything I kinda miss excitement around salomon.
today on the bus in flatlands, right by paerdegat basin, I sat next to a guy whose clothes were like .. construction-dirtied, but he was wearing nb2002 protection packs - the 'vintage orange' colorway. can't decide whether that was a carpenter or an artist.

the "are gramicci and and wander cringe" question is difficult. there is plenty of boring shit to be had from either.. I don't think either signifies wisdom and in-group knowledge. and wander makes some cool stuff but I think if I saw some and wander logos on somebody and the outfit wasn't altogether gorgeous I'd just be wondering how they paid for it, cos their stuff is really expensive.

oh these get towards my dream goal of wallabees+waterproofing but they're definitely more sporty

there’s a wallabee thats goretex backed and vibram christy sole. ur goal exists

i think one good outcome of gorpcore is more people actively engaging in the outdoors.

the bad outcome is ppl dont realize that other membranes other than goretex derivates exists, like ur really gonna choose goretex paclite 2.5L over polartec neoshell jus cuz it has a dead bird on it?

[funyuns]

plus w.l. gore is hella sketchy re their marketing biz they basically bullied other laminated textile players out
