My Time as a Navajo Police officer: Skinwalker PART 1 My name is Jose Oliva I am 24 years old and I just finished the 22-week academy at the Arizona Law Enforcement academy in Phoenix Arizona, today is my graduation. The reception was a chaotic mix of crying mothers, flashes of cameras, and cheap fruit punch that was already warm. I was loosening my tie when I saw them. They cut through the crowd like sharks moving through a school of minnows. Three of them. Uniforms different than the ones surrounding us darker, heavier. The patch on the shoulder: Navajo Police Department. Shiprock District. They looked… worn. Not messy but weathered. Like leather that’s been left in the sun too long. “Oliva?” The woman in the lead was Sergeant Vera Nelson. I knew the face from the Zoom interview, but in person, she was formidable. Hair pulled back tight enough to give me a headache. Eyes that had seen everything twice. “Sergeant,” I snapped to attention. “At ease, boot. You’re not on the grinder anymore.” She looked me up and down. “You look cleaner than I expected. We watched the tape on your final scenario. You hesitate on the breach.” It wasn’t a compliment. It wasn’t an insult. It was just data. “Yes, Ma’am. I wanted to verify the target.” “Verify faster. In Shiprock, hesitation is a funeral procession.” She jerked a thumb at the woman beside her. “Lieutenant Johnson.” Johnson didn’t look like a cop. She looked like a CEO who fired people for fun. Blonde, short hair, eyes scanning the crowd behind me, checking exits, checking threats. “Congratulations, Oliva. Enjoy the cake. It’s the last free meal you’re gonna get.” “Thank you, Lieutenant.” “Don’t thank me yet. You haven’t met your nightmare.” Johnson stepped aside. Behind her stood a man who looked like he was carved out of sandstone. Samuel Sloan. He was older, maybe late forties. Mustache trimmed to the millimeter. His boots weren’t just shined; they were glass. He didn’t speak. He just stared at me. He was reading me my posture, my hands, the way I stood. “Sloan,” Nelson said. “This is your new headache.” Sloan took a sip from a Styrofoam cup of black coffee. He finally spoke. His voice was like gravel in a cement mixer. “You from the Rez?” “Yes, Sir. Shiprock.” “Does that mean you think you know how to police it?” “It means I know the roads, Sir.” “The roads change,” Sloan said. “The people change. The laws? Out there, the laws are… suggestions.” He stepped closer. He smelled of Old Spice and gun oil. “I’m your Field Training Officer. For the next four months, you are glued to my hip. You listen, you learn, and you keep your mouth shut unless you are calling out a license plate.” “Understood, Sir.” “And let’s get one thing clear, Oliva,” Sloan said, lowering the cup. “We are partners. We aren’t friends. I’m not coming to your family cookout. I’m not playing Xbox with you. My job is to make sure you don’t get us killed. Your job is to drive. Clear?” “Crystal.” “Good. Monday. 0600. Don’t be late. And for the love of God, get a better shine on those boots. I can see the grain.” The crowd was thinning out. The sun was dipping low, casting long, orange shadows across the parking lot. Maya walked up, her dress uniform bag slung over her shoulder. She looked tired. “So,” she nodded toward the departing Shiprock unit. “That’s them? The Three Musketeers?” “Something like that,” I said. “FTO looks intense.” “He looks like he eats rookies for breakfast and spits out the badges,” Maya laughed, but it was nervous. “You good?” I looked at the card Sloan had shoved in my hand. Just a number and a time. “Yeah,” I lied. “I’m good.” “Don’t die out there, Jose. Seriously.” “You neither, Maya.” She got into her car. I stood there for a second, watching the heat waves rise off the asphalt. The Academy was over. The safety net was gone. Now I had to go home. And for the first time in twenty-two weeks, I was actually afraid. Shiprock District Station. 0545 Hours. The station looked like a bunker that had lost a war against the sun. Cinder blocks painted a color that was supposed to be tan but had faded to the color of dried mud. Jose pulled his truck in. He killed the engine. The silence of the morning wasn’t peaceful; it was heavy. He checked his reflection in the rearview. His uniform was too clean. His boots were too black. He looked like a target. He stepped out. The air smelled of sagebrush and diesel fumes. Samuel Sloan was already at the unit a battered Ford Explorer that looked like it had rolled down a canyon wall and driven back up. Sloan wasn’t cleaning his gun. He was leaning against the fender, smoking a cigarette, watching a stray dog trot across the lot. Jose approached. “Morning, sir.” Sloan didn’t look at him. He took a drag, held it, and exhaled a stream of blue smoke. He dropped the butt and crushed it with a boot that looked like it could kick through a brick wall. “You’re early,” Sloan said. Voice like gravel. “Fifteen minutes, sir.” “Don’t fish for a compliment, Oliva. Early is on time. On time is late.” Sloan pushed off the car. He was big. Not gym-big, but work-big. “I see you got the shine on the boots. Let’s see how long that lasts.” The back door of the station opened. Sgt. Nelson walked out. She looked tired, holding a clipboard like a shield. “Sloan,” she nodded. “You got the rookie?” “I got him.” “Don’t break him before lunch. We’re short-staffed as it is.” She looked at Jose. “Oliva. Forget the Academy. Forget the fancy scenarios. Out here, the radio dictates your life. You ready?” “Yes, Sergeant.” “Good. Here’s the keys.” She tossed them. Jose snatched them out of the air. “You drive. Sloan observes. If you wreck my unit, you’re walking back to Phoenix.” The interior of the Explorer smelled of stale coffee, gun oil, and old sweat. It was a smell you couldn’t scrub out. Jose adjusted the seat. The radio was a constant, low-level chatter of static and codes. “Let’s get one thing straight,” Sloan said, staring out the passenger window as they rolled onto the highway. “I saw your file. You were a CO. A turnkey.” “Yes, sir. At the Shiprock Jail.” “That’s a problem.” Jose glanced over. “Sir?” “In jail, the bad guys are already in cages. You tell them when to eat, when to sleep. You have the control,” Sloan turned his head, his eyes hard. “Out here? We don’t have control. We are guests in their house. You walk into a situation acting like a guard, ordering people around, you’re gonna get your teeth knocked out. You understand?” “Understood.” “We’ll see.” The radio crackled. “Unit 7. 10-16. Domestic. Mile Marker 12. Tsé Bitʼaʼí Road. Third trailer on the left. History of 242.” Sloan didn’t reach for the mic. He just looked at Jose. Jose swallowed dryly. He keyed the mic. “Unit 7, copy. En route.” The trailer sat on a patch of dirt that had been beaten flat. A washing machine sat on the porch, rusted out. A kid, maybe five years old, was sitting on the steps, poking the dirt with a stick. He didn’t look up when the cruiser rolled in. “Watch the hands,” Sloan muttered. He unbuckled his seatbelt but didn’t open the door yet. “Always watch the hands.” They got out. The heat was already rising, shimmering off the aluminum siding. A woman was by the door, holding her arm. She wasn’t crying. She looked exhausted. “He’s drunk,” she said flatly. “He threw the toaster.” “Is he armed?” Jose asked, hand resting on his belt. “He’s got a bottle. Maybe a knife in his boot. He always has a knife.” The screen door slammed open. Billy Yazzie stumbled out. He was shirtless, jeans stained with oil. He looked like wire and rage. “Get the hell off my land!” Billy screamed. Spit flew. “Sir,” Jose stepped forward, using his ‘Command Voice’ from the jail. “ calm down. Step off the porch and talk to me.” “Don’t you tell me what to do! I know you. You’re Oliva’s nephew. The jail screw.” “Billy, step down. Now.” Jose pointed a finger. “Bad move,” Sloan whispered behind him. Billy didn’t step down. He launched. It wasn’t a movie fight. Billy collided with Jose, smelling of rotgut whiskey and unwashed hair. They hit the dirt. The dust exploded up, choking them. Jose felt a fist graze his ear, a stinging impact. Jose grabbed a wrist. Slick with sweat. He couldn’t get a grip. He jammed his knee into Billy’s side. Billy grunted. Jose used the leverage, twisting the arm behind Billy’s back, forcing his face into the gravel. “Stop fighting!” Jose yelled, gasping for air. “Stop!” He got one cuff on. Click. He wrenched the other arm back. Click. Jose lay there for a second, on top of the suspect, heart hammering against his ribs like a trapped bird. Dust coated his tongue. Sloan was standing over them. He hadn’t drawn his weapon. He hadn’t even broken a sweat. He looked down at Jose, then at Billy. “You talk too much, Oliva,” Sloan said. “Get him up. You got dirt on your new uniform.” They put Billy in the back. He was passed out now, the adrenaline dump knocking him cold. Jose stood by the hood of the Explorer, wiping blood off his ear with a napkin. Sloan leaned against the fender, lighting another cigarette. “You treated him like an inmate,” Sloan said. He wasn’t yelling. He was lecturing. “You pointed your finger. You gave him an order. You challenged his pride in front of his wife and kid. On the Rez, pride is the only thing some of these guys have left. You challenge that, you gotta be ready to fight for it.” “I got the cuffs on,” Jose said, defensive. “Yeah. You did. And you took a hit you didn’t need to take.” Sloan flicked ash onto the ground. “Next time, you talk to him like a human being until the cuffs are on. Then you can be the guard. You hear me?” Jose looked at the blood on the napkin. “I hear you.” “Good.” Sloan opened the passenger door. “Let’s book him. Then we’re getting coffee. You look like you need it.” Shiprock District Station. Break Room. Month 2. The coffee in the pot had been cooking since the graveyard shift. It smelled like burnt wiring. Jose poured a cup. His hand was steady, but his eyes were rimmed with red. The first month had sanded off the shine. His uniform fit better now not because it was tailored, but because he moved differently in it. Less stiff. Sloan walked in. He didn’t say hello. He walked to the calendar on the wall and crossed off a day with a thick black marker. “Phase One is done,” Sloan said, staring at the grid. “You didn’t quit. You didn’t crash the car. You didn’t get sued.” “High praise, sir.” Sloan turned. He looked at Jose over the rim of his own mug. “Don’t get cocky. Phase One was the honeymoon. Phase Two? It’s the marriage.” Sloan sat down, the chair groaning under his weight. “Fifty-fifty. That’s the deal. You drive. You talk. You make the decisions. I’m just 200 pounds of cargo in the passenger seat. Unless you’re about to violate a civil right or get us killed, I keep my mouth shut. You sink or swim, Oliva.” “I’m ready,” Jose said. “We’ll see. It’s easy to be brave when daddy is holding the leash. Let’s see how you do when the leash is off.” The call came in at 0900. Silent alarm. Old Trading Post off Route 64. Jose killed the lights a mile out. He rolled the Explorer onto the gravel shoulder, letting the tires crunch softly. He looked at Sloan. Sloan was looking out the window, arms crossed, feigning disinterest. My call, Jose thought. “We approach on foot,” Jose whispered. “Cover the back. I’ll take the front.” Sloan nodded once. He got out, moving silently for a big man. Jose unholstered. He moved to the front door. It was jarred open. Wood splinters on the floor. He could hear rustling inside. “Police! Show me your hands!” Jose shouted, stepping into the doorway, weapon drawn but depressed. A figure popped up from behind the counter. A kid. Maybe nineteen. Skinny. Shaking. He dropped a canvas sack. Cans of Spam and a bag of Blue Bird flour spilled out. “Don’t shoot!” the kid screamed. “Don’t shoot!” Jose scanned him. No weapon. Just fear. Jose holstered his gun instantly. He didn’t tackle him. He just walked up. “Relax,” Jose said, his voice dropping an octave. “Hands on the counter. Spread ‘em.” “I’m just hungry, man. Mines laid everyone off.” “I know,” Jose said. He patted the kid down. “Name?” “Tommy. Tommy Begay.” “Turn around, Tommy.” Jose spun him. Click-click. Sloan walked in from the back. He looked at the spilled flour. He looked at the kid. Then he looked at Jose. “What’s the call, Officer?” Sloan asked. “He’s in custody,” Jose said. “But we’re not charging him with the B&E. We’ll cite him for trespassing and take him to the Chapter House. They have a food pantry.” Sloan stared at him for a long second. The air in the room was stale and hot. “You sure? By the book, that’s a felony.” “The book doesn’t live here,” Jose said, echoing Sloan’s own lesson. “He’s hungry. If I book him, he loses his shot at the mine when they hire back. If I feed him, maybe he stays out of trouble.” Sloan cracked a half-smile. “Your call. Load him up.” Later that day they were parked on a ridge overlooking the wash, eating sandwiches wrapped in foil. The adrenaline from the morning had faded into the midday lull. “You speak the language well,” Sloan said. It was the first personal thing he’d said in three days. “With that grandmother earlier. You have the cadence.” “My grandfather,” Jose said, chewing a piece of fry bread. “He was a Code Talker. Taught me that words have weight.” Sloan stopped chewing. He looked at Jose, really looked at him. “Code Talker? That’s heavy blood.” “And my Great-Great-Grandmother was on the Long Walk,” Jose added, staring out at the jagged horizon. “She carried her sister for fifty miles.” Sloan asked Jose where he learned how to shoot “my grandpa taught me, we would hunt all the time but like anything else shooting is a perishable skill, one day my grandpa almost shot me and hit the family dog, after that day I never seen him but I did continue to hunt and practice my shooting”. Sloan nodded slowly. He took a sip of lukewarm coffee. “My wife… she was traditional. Weaver. She used to say the land remembers everything. Even the things we try to forget.” “She sounds like she was a good woman.” “She was,” Sloan said. The silence returned, but it wasn’t awkward anymore. It was shared. “She hated this job, though. Said it made me hard.” “Did it?” Sloan crumbled the foil wrapper into a ball. “Yeah. It did. But someone has to be the rock.” He started the car. “Phase Two isn’t over yet, boot. Let’s go.” 1500 Hours. Highway 491. Hours later, the sun was dipping below the horizon, casting long, bruised purple shadows across the station parking lot. The adrenaline dump had left Jose feeling hollowed out, but steady. Sloan sat in the passenger seat of the parked unit, finishing his daily evaluation. He tossed the clipboard onto the dash with a heavy clatter. “Solid shift,” Sloan said, staring out the windshield. “You’re actually swimming, Oliva.” Jose let out a breath he felt like he’d been holding since morning. He rubbed the back of his neck. “Feeling better about it. Less like I’m drowning every time the radio goes off.” Sloan pulled a cigarette from his shirt pocket and struck a match. The sudden flare illuminated the deep, cynical lines around his mustache. “Good. Enjoy the feeling,” Sloan said, exhaling a thin stream of blue smoke out the cracked window. “Because Phase Three starts Monday.” Jose frowned, turning the key to kill the engine. “What’s Phase Three?” Sloan turned to look at him, his eyes dead serious. “Phase Three is the Ghost Phase. Starting Monday, I show up in plain clothes. I don’t wear a badge. I don’t talk to dispatch. I don’t help you with combative drunks, and I don’t back you up unless you are actively bleeding out.” He leaned closer, the smoke curling in the narrow space between them. “You are the police, Oliva. I am just a shadow.” Jose swallowed hard. “Sir?” “And the shadow,” Sloan whispered, opening his door to step out into the evening air, “judges everything.” 0200 Hours. Route 491. Sloan was in the passenger seat wearing jeans and a faded Carhartt jacket. He had his boots up on the dashboard. He was asleep. Or pretending to be. The radio crackled. “Unit 7. 10-10. Fight in progress at the laundry mat on Main. Suspects armed with bats.” Jose looked at Sloan. Sloan didn’t move. His breathing didn’t change. Jose keyed the mic. “Unit 7 en route.” He hit the lights. The siren wailed, bouncing off the empty storefronts of Shiprock. Jose drove hard, taking the corner fast. “You coming?” Jose asked as he put the car in park. Sloan opened one eye. “I’m a ghost, remember? Ghosts don’t break up fights. Don’t get killed.” He closed his eyes. Jose got out. The cool air hit him. Inside the laundry mat, three men were swinging axe handles at each other near the dryers. Glass shattered. Jose drew his baton. He didn’t wait. He kicked the door open. “Police! Get on the ground! Now!” They turned. Three of them. Drunk. Angry. Big. “Back off, cop!” one yelled, raising the handle. Jose didn’t de-escalate. He didn’t have time. He stepped in, closed the distance, and struck the lead guy’s thigh a peroneal nerve strike. The guy crumpled. “Drop it!” Jose roared, spinning to the second guy. “Drop it or you’re next!” The other two froze. They looked at their friend on the floor, then at Jose’s baton, then at the door. They dropped the wood. By the time Jose had them cuffed and lined up against the washers, Sloan strolled in. He was holding a cup of coffee he’d gotten from the 7-Eleven next door. He looked at the handcuffed men. He looked at Jose, who was breathing hard, sweat dripping off his nose. “You missed a spot,” Sloan pointed to a smudge of blood on Jose’s shirt. “Let’s book ‘em.” Shiprock District Station. Captain’s Office. The room smelled of stale toner and floor wax. Captain Nick Colt sat behind a desk buried under mountains of paperwork. He looked like he hadn’t slept in a week. Sgt. Nelson stood by the window. Lt. Johnson was leaning against a filing cabinet. Sloan sat in the corner, arms crossed, staring at the floor. “Sit,” Colt grunted. He didn’t look up from the file in front of him. Jose sat. The metal chair was cold. “We’re reviewing your FTO packet,” Colt said, finally looking up. His eyes were hard, tired. “Sloan says you can drive. Nelson says you can write a report. Johnson says you haven’t shot anyone yet. That puts you ahead of the curve.” “Thank you, sir.” “Don’t thank me. You’re a liability until you hit year five.” Colt threw the file closed. “We have a concern, Oliva. The ‘Witchcraft’ calls.” The room went silent. Jose felt the temperature drop. “Sloan’s notes say you entertained a caller regarding a skinwalker complaint,” Colt said. “That you spent twenty minutes looking for ‘non-human’ tracks.” Jose looked at Sloan. Sloan didn’t look up. “Sir,” Jose said, keeping his voice steady. “The reporting party was terrified. If I dismissed her, she wouldn’t call us next time. I checked the wash to clear the scene and calm the resident. It was community policing.” Colt stared at him. He looked at Nelson. “He’s right, Nick,” Nelson said. “If he laughs at her, we lose that family’s trust.” Colt sighed. He rubbed his temples. “Fine. Just keep the ghost stories out of the official reports. The Feds read those and think we’re running a circus out here.” Colt signed the paper. The scratching of the pen was the loudest sound in the room. “You pass, Oliva. You’re off probation. Get your gear moved to a solo unit. Don’t make me regret this.” 1700 Hours. Jose walked to his truck. He was holding his gear bag. He was done. A solo officer. “Oliva.” Sloan was leaning against his own truck, a beat-up Silverado. He wasn’t wearing the uniform. He looked older in the sunlight. “Captain went easy on you in there,” Sloan said. “You put the skinwalker call in my eval?” Jose asked. He wasn’t angry, just tired. “I put everything in the eval. Transparency.” Sloan spit on the ground. “You handled it right, though. Checking the tracks.” “Sloan,” Jose stepped closer. “The tracks in the wash. You saw them too. You know they weren’t coyotes.” “I thought the Navajo Police Policy states we need to investigate any paranormal calls?” Sloan looked at Jose and said “well Captain been trying to change that for awhile, says we need to be in the 21st century”. Sloan looked around the empty lot. He lowered his voice. “You’re a solo beat now, Jose. That means there’s no one to watch your back but you.” Sloan reached into his truck and pulled out a small leather pouch. It was old, stained with sweat. He tossed it to Jose. “What is this?” Jose asked. It smelled of cedar and corn pollen. “My wife made it,” Sloan said, looking away. “Before the… accident. Put it in your vest. Over the heart.” “Sloan, what happened to her?” Sloan opened his door. “The desert is big, kid. And it’s old. Just because we have badges doesn’t mean we run this place.” He climbed into the truck. “Watch your six, Officer Oliva.” Sloan drove off, leaving a cloud of red dust hanging in the air. Jose stood there, holding the pouch. He looked at the badge on his chest. Then he looked at the horizon, where the sun was dipping behind Shiprock. The shadows were stretching out, long and dark, reaching toward him. He was alone now. Shiprock District. 0545 Hours. The trailer was quiet. The kind of quiet that rings in your ears. Jose stood in front of the mirror. He didn’t look like a hero. He looked like a guy trying to get a crease out of his shirt. He adjusted the badge. It was heavy. It pulled the fabric down just a millimeter. He walked out to the truck. The air was cold, smelling of sage and burning wood. He climbed into the Unit a Explorer 7-Alpha. He put his coffee in the cup holder. He put his gear bag on the passenger seat. He stopped. He stared at the bag. For three months, that seat had been occupied by 220 pounds of Samuel Sloan. It had been occupied by cigarette smoke and judgment. Now, it was just a bag. The radio static hissed. It was the only sound in the world. Briefing “Oliva,” Lt. Johnson didn’t look up from her iPad. “You’re 7-Alpha. Solo. Don’t be a hero. Don’t be a ghost. Just answer the radio.” “Yes, Ma’am.” “And Oliva?” She looked up, eyes tired. “If you wreck that car, you’re walking until Christmas. We’re short on units.” “Understood.” Sgt. Nelson walked past, holding a stack of citations. She didn’t stop. She just slapped his shoulder with the papers. “Watch your six, boot. You’re on your own.” 0800 Hours. Chapter House Lot. The man was slumped against the chain-link fence. He smelled like cheap vodka and old sweat. One shoe was missing. “Hey,” Jose nudged the man’s boot. “Wake up.” The man groaned. He cracked an eye open. “Oliva? That you?” It was Benally. A distant uncle on his mother’s side. Not close enough to be family, but close enough to be embarrassing. “Yeah, it’s me. Come on, Benally. You can’t sleep here. Kids are gonna be walking to the bus stop.” “I’m resting,” Benally slurred. He tried to stand and slipped. Jose caught him. It was like catching a falling sack of cement. Dead weight. The smell of urine hit Jose in the face, sharp and ammonia-heavy. “You’re not resting. You’re intoxicated.” Jose grunted, hauling the man upright. “I’m not taking you to the tank. I’m taking you to your sister’s. Work with me.” “You’re a good boy, Jose. Not like that Sloan fellow. He’s mean.” “Get in the car, Benally.” Jose shoved him into the back seat. He slammed the door. He wiped his hands on his pants, trying to get the feeling of the man’s greasy jacket off his skin. He looked at the rearview mirror. The cage separated them. “Don’t throw up in my unit, Benally. I mean it.” 1300 Hours. Highway 491. Heat waves shimmered off the asphalt. Two pickup trucks were locked together like angry beetles. A Chevy and a Ford. The drivers were in the ditch, screaming. “You stopped short!” The rancher yelled. He was red-faced, spitting dust. “You were tailgating me!” The girl shouted back. She looked like she was late for class at the Community College. “Look at my bumper!” Jose walked up. The radiator of the Ford was hissing, spitting green coolant onto the dry earth. “Hey!” Jose shouted. “Separate! Now!” They stopped. They looked at him. “License. Registration. Insurance. Both of you.” “He hit me!” “I don’t care who hit who right now. I care that you’re blocking a federal highway. Documents. Now.” Jose stood on the shoulder, writing the report. The sun beat down on the back of his neck. Sweat trickled down his spine, soaking his vest. He looked at the passenger seat of his unit. Empty. Usually, Sloan would be there, making a crack about how people drive with their eyes closed. Today, just silence. Jose signed the citation. “Tow truck is ten minutes out. Wait in your cars. And stop yelling, or I start writing tickets for disorderly conduct.” 1700 Hours. Roadside Stand. Jose sat on the hood of the Explorer. He had a piece of fry bread in one hand and a lukewarm Gatorade in the other. The sun was starting to dip, turning the mesas purple. It had been a good day. A quiet day. He handled the drunk. He handled the wreck. He didn’t call for backup. He didn’t panic. He took a bite of the bread. It was greasy and warm. I can do this, he thought. I’m doing it. The radio cracked. The dispatcher’s voice was different this time. Urgent. Fast. “7-Alpha, 7-Bravo. Priority call. Domestic with a weapon. 44 Red Rock Drive. Reporting party says suspect has a rifle. Shots fired.” Jose froze. The bread turned to ash in his mouth. Red Rock Drive. He knew that address. It wasn’t just a house. It was his cousin’s place. Leo. The one who had been struggling since he got back from the Marines. “7-Alpha, copy?” Jose threw the bread on the ground. He slid off the hood. “7-Alpha copy. En route. Code 3.” He jumped into the car. He looked at the empty passenger seat. “Ghost phase is over,” he whispered to the empty air. He hit the lights. The siren screamed, shattering the quiet. Another day, another call, another report and all over again. The Badlands. 1945 Hours. The phone didn’t ring. It buzzed against the hard plastic of the center console a short, angry vibration that sounded like a wasp trapped in a jar.

My latest haul arrived recently and overall the quality turned out better than expected. This one was focused mainly on winter layering pieces with a mix of outerwear, knitwear, pants, accessories and footwear. Most items have good fabric weight and clean finishing. The jackets feel structured, knitwear is thick enough for cold weather, and embroidery across the pieces looks neat without loose threads. Pants fit comfortably with accurate sizing, and the accessories have decent weight and detailing in hand. The haul is a mix of low-key everyday items and more statement pieces, which makes it easy to build outfits without everything feeling overbranded. Accessories and jewelry were a nice addition as well and helped complete the rotation. Shipping: Used Superbuy as the agent and shipped via air line. Delivery took around 10–12 days after dispatch. Packaging was secure and everything arrived without damage. Item links are listed below for reference.

Hi all, Its that time of year where its getting cold and I need to switch my shorts to pants-I was already wanting new pants since I find shorts dont do much for the knees in general so I was thinking about getting pants year around. I'm looking for a work pants that both have extra pockets, knee pads either built in or a pocket for em, and is still flexible so Im not limited in movement. Im a bigger guy (48x32) so I find most pants that seem to offer that is just below my measurements. I work on arcade games so its a lot of kneeling down, climbing inside/out of larger games (hence the flexibility, even for a bigger guy I find what im wearing holds me back more then my size unless I dont think a game could hold my weight). It also still needs to be "presentable", not business like, we all can show up to clients in jeans without any issue, for example, but it also cant look like I came off a construction site, ya'know? Bonus points if they don't rip easily at the knees or in between the legs but not a necessity I had a pair of carhartt relaxed fits that i liked,I just found they still limited movement enough that I noticed, as well as the knee's would wear out insanely easily. While my most recent pair of jeans that I would wear has ripped between the legs. I was looking at the "CAT Mens Operator Flex Work Pants Featuring Stretch Fabric, Cargo Pocket, and Bootcut Leg Opening", only has 1 extra pocket which im sure i'll live with since i'm just going to wear jeans until i find something i like, but no knee pad section. I also considered caterpillar's "MEN'S TRADEMARK WORK PANTS" but it looks kinda out of place and more fit for a jobsite then going to fix a game at a hotel/bar/resort/family fun center. submitted by /u/DanielTheFallen to r/malefashionadvice [link] [comments]

(blows dust off typewriter) Can’t keep a good rat in hibernation forever. So there’s no amount of money you could pay me to go back to the dumb drama that came from recapping Paige’s vlogs, it wasn’t worth anyone’s time or energy when nothing happens in them and she does the exact same out of touch things that make you long for class warfare over and over again. I thought this would be a fun little way to flex those muscles because how long could one podcast episode take? Flash to hours later because this is like four vlogs in one but refusing to give up due to the sunk cost fallacy and I regret everything. Please know I watched the video version of this and it’s hard to focus because when will the inventor of veneers be brought to the Hague to be held accountable for their crimes. Also hard to focus when Paige’s hair is the same color as the ugly olive set curtains that I think are the same ones from my elementary school auditorium. “Paige, you don’t do many podcasts so I’m honored you’re sitting here with me”. Does Halle realize who she’s talking to? Ms. Two Balls one Mouth? Of Paige by Paige by Paige Lorenze, a Paige Lorenze Production fame? THEE Paige Lorenze? Can’t imagine why Halle would think she “doesn’t do many podcasts” and is unfamiliar with her game. Something that comes up right off the bat, like when they’re just trying to explain how they met, is how Girls Hate Paige And Are So Jealous Of Her. I watched this part multiple times and can’t even explain how it’s related to what they’re talking about, but Paige keeps circling back to this point. And as an adult who’s had social interactions with human beings before, nothing immediately tells me someone is the worst person you’ve ever met than when they’re a woman who has to tell you she’s a “girl’s girl” or talks about how girls are “jealous” and “mean” to each other (but not like her!!!). It’s like the girl equivalent of when a man has to tell you how great his sense of humor is. Like what women are you even hanging out with? Why? The last time I had to put any thought into Girl Politics or Girl Ethics and didn’t just try to be a decent human being regardless of gender, I was in middle school. If you genuinely as a full grown adult have ops or haters or whatever… skill issue. While Paige tries to sell this as a plus and a sign she’s sooooo highly evolved and non-confrontational, what she describes is deeply concerning pathological passive-aggression. She says she handles conflict the way her mom taught her, which is both by fawning (calling someone up and trying to figure out what she can do to “fix” it) and then pretending to get along with people she hates. Which, so cool, also so weird how people consistently respond to Paige by being hostile and catty. If only science could explain such a coinkydink, because I can’t possibly think of a reason why that might be a consistent theme in her life. Paige talks about opening a DB store in Nantucket next summer and how “the island doesn’t have something in our price point and quality” which is technically correct, I just googled and there is no Walmart or Temu on Nantucket, let alone a Walmart or Temu that prices itself like Ralph Lauren. She’s got us there. “I also feel like Nantucket is such a world.” - Paige Lorenze Please know at the time I’m watching this on Youtube there are dozens of comments and most of them are cooing over how articulate Paige is so always remember: the bar is in hell, you can’t possibly be the dumbest or worst person doing anything, live your dreams. “But also, like, females? And our emotional IQ? I think the way that we can just relate to people and sell to people is so… interesting.” - Paige Is the emotional IQ in the room with us. Paige goes on to list all the jobs she did before she was an influencer and as someone who worked a bunch before college to save up their money and avoid loans while deciding what I wanted to go to college for, Paige in the two or so years before she started influencing had more jobs than most people do in ten. Which means she did not work, she showed up somewhere for two weeks and then decided she was too good for something and either quit or got fired. Like girl we can do math and your dad’s money can’t buy you a different space-time continuum. And this comes in the context of them trying to sound so humble because they “worked retail” and then they start complaining about how being a hostess is “bitch work” and they got “no tips”. “Like one thing about me is I like to make money. I love to make money.” - Paige No way. NO WAY. Your marked up SheIn store especially combined with our dating history would never have clued me in!! Paige also full on admits she’s willing to deal with sexual harassment so long as she’s getting paid to do it. An absolutely bonkers take to admit to on main. “The cool thing about Nantucket? Everyone works. Even the trust fund babies. I was not a trust fund baby,” says Paige, because if there’s one thing about Paige, she will establish she’s not like the other girls or die trying. Like she and Halle never hung out as teenagers since “the Boston families sort of stick together” and she was “from Connecticut and Vermont”. Which, first of all, you’re not from Vermont, you went to boarding school in Vermont. Second of all, as a New Englander I can’t even begin to describe how white rich people this conversation is. For people who aren’t from New England or Massachusetts, if you summer by the beach there are three or four main places your family might have a home or part ownership of a cabin to indicate that y’all have money. If it’s up in Maine or on the North Shore, kinda middle class, white picket fence and a Golden Retriever. On the Cape is a little above that, though it depends on what part of the Cape, each town very much has an identity that sorts you into what subgenre of somewhere between middle class and upper middle class you are - some towns are more preppy, some more hippie crunchy, etc. Martha’s Vineyard, you’re upper middle class or upper class rich but not trust fund rich, like you’ve got family money because you come from a long line of accountants, or you came from nothing but now are a professor at Harvard married to another professor at Harvard. Nantucket is the Kennedys. You’re not getting a shack or a hotel room on that island unless you can send all your kids to private school and have legacy admission to an Ivy league school and you’ve got opinions on the estate tax being too high. But you see, the boarding school Paige went to isn’t in Boston, it’s in Vermont, and so that makes her salt of the earth. This continues through all the same talking points, blah blah she went to ski academy and was so responsible and aware of the sacrifices her parents made for her to do that, blah blah she was so focused, blah blah the things she love were so different because they were fishing and surfing and horseback riding. As a reminder of what an actually weird and different girl growing up in New England would look like, when I was growing up one of my niche interests was nature survivalism Girl Scout stuff, like I loved to imagine I was on the Oregon Trail and get out books from the library teaching me how to make acorn flour. Paige is once again up Hailey Bieber’s ass, saying that she like Halle has “the special sauce” and “aura” and that’s why she “gets a lot of hate”. Because she’s “so tea”. This is very, very transparently because a) Paige sees herself as Hailey Bieber and wants to be her and look like her and wear her as a skin suit and b) wants to be able to drop that she met her. Paige is also is so, so mean to Halle. This entire time she’s talking over her, subtly negging her, being very “oh sweetie I love that for you”. Like if you’ve ever had an experience with another woman where she presented super nice and supportive but made you feel like she was taking digs at you the entire time for reasons you couldn’t name because she presented as nice and you sounded insane when you tried to explain this to a man, this is like a highlight reel you can show any man who’s confused by the way women are socialized to be mean to each other in the passive-aggressive way Paige fully admits to being mean to people all the time. Anything Halle says, Paige has to first give her a very vague compliment but uses it in a way to establish herself as different and more virtuous by contrast. Which is incredibly effective with Halle, a party girl who. like most party girls, has a very, very fragile ego and a deep wound around her sense of self-worth. She acts crazy and is constantly making herself the butt of the joke because it gets her attention and because attention - good or bad - is the only thing that numbs the chasm of insecurity inside her, and Paige is incredibly good at playing off this. It’s wild. For example, this exchange when they talk about people saying stuff about them online: Paige: I feel like both of us, like everything has been said about us under the sun, like truly? Halle, sounding very sad, almost like she’s going to cry: Yeah but I feel like I’ve said it first. Paige, steamrolling over her: Yeah but you’re definitely… you… you are… I mean yeah, I love that for you, I think you’re so ahead of it. And I feel like you clock yourself before anyone can clock you, which is something I don’t really do. I feel like I don’t get online… i’m not super vulnerable online? I’m like.. Halle: You, like, you come from a different era of like influencer though- Paige: Yes! Halle: - I feel like you protect your peace a lot more. And I think that’s something I’m maybe going to learn eventually? That I should do? Like you can destroy my peace. Paige, talking over her: But! But in criticizing myself I think I’ll say, if you are not - if you are not putting out a narrative about yourself, about like certain things, certain topics, like someone will make it for you. I could break this down like a literature analysis. It’s the RICHEST text. Again funny to me that every Youtube commenters keep praising how articulate Paige is when she’s talking about how she thinks hate comes from “curiousness”, like she thinks there’s “love curiousness” and “hate curiousness”. THE WORD IS CURIOSITY. C U R I O S I T Y. This leads also into Paige’s whole spiel about how hate doesn’t bother her because she knows she’s SUCH a good person, and again the manipulating of Halle where the only compliments she gives her are ones she first gives herself and then goes “I think you do this too.” “I think when people call you out for something you’ve actually done it hurts a lot more.” - Paige I’d forgotten that the most uncomfortable part of having to hear Paige talk for me is remembering that I could without putting in an ounce of effort psychologically destroy her in under an hour. Anyway at this point Paige does a lot of lovebombing of Halle to make up for the uninterrupted fifteen or twenty minutes of negging she just did. Fun lore drop, Paige’s mom is from Weston and went to Noble and Greenough school which when Paige mentioned this I SCREECHED. If you’re not from the Boston area I’m really struggling to put into words how over the top old money snobby preppy this is. This is like… Gossip Girl but real life in Massachusetts. This is making the Gilmore Girls family look like paupers. And Paige tried to sell earlier that she wasn’t a trust fund kid. The fuck you aren’t. Her mom is a Whitney from Boston which she says is a big Boston family which sounds vaguely familiar enough that I’m sure if I cared to go walking around Mount Auburn Cemetery I’d find some of her family in it. Which is also where Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is buried, like we’re talking Mayflower and Daughters of the Revolution old money here. “That’s why the jawline… that’s why we’re snatched.” Halle I’ve seen both of your before surgery pictures and technically that is correct, you both had much softer jawlines until your family money gave you a new one so both genetically and financially yes, there’s a reason you have the same jaw. “I don’t have jawline injections! Clock it!” - Paige, lying “Sorry, she doesn’t claim it, but I do.” - Halle, I can’t believe this podcast is making me by contrast kind of love Halle HAHAHAHHA PAIGE SAYS SHE GOT A LITTLE FILLER ONCE BUT IT MADE HER LOOK LIKE HANDSOME SQUIDWARD SO SHE DISSOLVED IT she does read our snark!!! “Oh my god that was my whole thing on Reddit, that I was handsome Squidward.” - Halle, again kind of endearing me to her Paige blah blahs some more about how she had to move to the suburbs because all she was doing was “shopping or getting my hair done or creating content that didn’t really inspire me”. As opposed to now where her last few vlogs are that AND she cooks. “I’m really good at realizing when I’m going down a bad thing or down a bad path” - girl you’re literally not that’s how you became an influencer in the first place. This interview is also a great example of how therapy isn’t always the answer, particularly not for people who have no self-awareness who will often go to therapy to learn how to become better at weaponizing the language of it and be more manipulative. Paige says things like “even when I had no confidence I had confidence” and like you can tell she went to therapy or listened to some wellness podcast, cherrypicked the parts that made her sound coolest and most special, and then ignored any of the parts that would require actual work on yourself or recognition that you’re not the center of the universe or taking accountability for your actions. This is like the same as when people do spiritual woo woo stuff and instead of actually getting diagnosed with being neurodivergent they call themselves a starseed and say in their past life they were from Atlantis or something. But don’t worry, she’s still working on “myself and things”. She’s very humble. She also tries to pretend she’s so willing to take criticism because she “gets clocked” for old pictures before she “got her filler dissolved” but now she’s grown and changed and is such an evolved person. You just said less than ten minutes ago you’re NOT willing to take criticism if it’s too true! Make up your mind!!!!! Paige brags some more about what a great businesswoman she is and how haters will call it a “merch brand” but she’s running a massive business. And I don’t know if I forgot how bad she is about this or is getting worse over time, but it’s really, REALLY obvious when Paige talks about DB that she “built” it in the same way celebrities all “build” their brands - she uses a lot of business girlie word salad to say that she has what I’m sure there’s an actual name for but I call an IKEA company. She did the equivalent of going to IKEA, buying a bookshelf, paying a TaskRabbit to put it together, and is now going around calling herself a carpenter. “I saw even before large corporations saw the value in Instagram” - I literally majored in Digital Communications and you did not but go off. “Something I do want to like, you know, lend to and give light to in this conversation is that I didn’t have a full idea of what, like, Dairy Boy was going to be necessarily. We had no idea, Paige, it was incredibly subtle. Paige says if you’re listening to this and want to start a brand, start a brand, like she did when she listened to her gut at a very young age. So what is it, she didn’t have a vision or she intuitively in her gut had a vision? Also, congrats on having Dad’s money to start a brand, but you see, most people… don’t. Halle trying to glaze Paige by saying Paige listens to critiques and Paige is like “oh of course”, because I guess blocking people who comment on your shitty quality or customer service after sending them a passive aggressive DM counts as customer service now. Things Paige feels she invented along with marketing on Instagram are “making camo cool” and “masculine with a feminine touch”, and as someone who lived through the live laugh love Pinterest deer antlers and Buffalo Plaid as a motif for a boy’s nursery vibe of the early 2010’s I’m begging her to be so serious right now. Did you know before Paige NO BRANDS were into making sport and fashion like hot and chic, like making it look good to steal your dad’s Carhartt jacket? Never mind that Carhartt is a brand! Paige invented it! Except then she says that actually it’s because she “worked” at a ski shop where they were selling men’s gear to women and how she thought there was nothing hotter than that. To be fair when I was in middle school and very into the alt artsy girl Julia Stiles in 10 Things I Hate About You look I, too, thought I was the hottest shit imaginable for stealing my dad’s old L.L. Bean’s flannels and wearing them with low rise cargo pants and tank tops and Vans sneakers. But I also didn’t make this my whole personality as an adult. “Like there’s nothing hotter than a woman, a true woman, wearing something mensy.” I feel I could teach an entire gender studies college seminar on the amount of internalized misogyny in this interview and contained in this sentence specifically. “Again, I had the idea before I had the infrastructure. So I was printing on blanks, you know, someone made a video of it like peeling off and I’m like yeah no shit, I’m literally getting this, like I’m buying this blank and shipping it out of my garage.” Girl. Ma’am. The problem isn’t that you were doing that, the problem is that you’re charging, what $50 for that? And do you know how easy it is to make a better product? Screen printing is INCREDIBLY easy and cheap. You can get better quality printing materials at Micheal’s. I’ve seen and own stuff from local businesses and artists that are also printing on blanks and they charge less and make better products. The problem is the obvious disdain you have for your customer base, that you would do this, when people bring it up gaslight them and block them and get pissy with them in their TikTok comments, and then years later be like “hahahaha of course that’s how I started”. It’s the same grift she does with her fillers that she “got dissolved” and the editing her pictures she “no longer does”. Do a thing so obviously thinking your audience is the biggest load of idiots you can squeeze for money, when they aren’t idiots and call you out do everything in your power to stop them, and then years later admit to it and try to sell it as you being so cool and relatable and honest. But you see, Paige is so successful now because “I wasn’t scared of that, I wasn’t scared to learn”. But the point is a) you were, you literally torched multiple snark subs for this exact reason and b) even if you weren’t YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN. Shame exists for a REASON. “I bootstrapped the whole business.” I… girl you did not. Like even if you hadn’t had your dad’s money, you didn’t! You just didn’t! Here, let me have Barack Obama explain this to you better than I could because genuinely what the fuck. I'm sorry I'm apparently the first one to tell Paige this but no one is an island who does things on their own and we do live in a society. Anyway, Paige says she now has in-house designers and nothing is dropshipped so mark that for in about three years when she’s on some other podcast where she goes “hahaha of course everything was made in sweatshops and dropshipped, I never pretended it wasn’t!” Also Paige believes everyone who buys their products knows their quality and everyone who doesn’t is a bot. “I get tagged in so many videos like ‘Paige Lorenze blocked me’ and it’s like, you probably did something”. Yeah, how dare someone… (flips back through notes) follow Morgan Riddle? No, that can’t be right. “By the way I am never blocking people off of if they like a post about whatever”. Ahhhh we’ve reached the part where we’re just confidently and demonstrably lying, cool, cool cool cool. “I think there’s a misconception that I don’t take criticism well and I think in the beginning of my career… as an empath… it was really hard for me.” I SCREAMED OUT LOUD AND SCARED MY PETS. AN EMPATH AN EMPATH!?!?!?!?!? I, too, as an empath, love to use burner sockpuppet accounts to come into people’s DMs calling them slurs and telling them to off themselves for reporting on things I do on public platforms. What empath doesn’t, truly. “I can tell you that the hate I get has never impacted my business once”. I mean I’m sure it didn’t, there are people who make entire lifetime’s worth of money fundraising off of their right to say the N word to someone because it’s “freedom of speech”, hate is a totally viable marketing tool. It involves selling your soul to the devil and will always collapse in the end, but in the short term, yeah. But also that’s apples and oranges, Paige, which is why this only works in the short term. Your audience buys things because they’re in a club or group, the haters are outside in a different group. It doesn’t matter how many are in one group or another and those two groups don’t live in the same reality or interact. The problem is that this only works in one direction, you can add people to team hater from team fan when you, say, take weeks or months to ship their orders or overcharge them for dropshipped from China bullshit or because you and your audience age out of each other or any of the other obvious things you’re not thinking of and corners you’re cutting and mistakes you’re making. Those aren’t things you feel the consequences of immediately, those are things that you feel later down the line when you get married or turn thirty or Tommy dumps you or Instagram takes away all the followers you bought so brands stop wanting to work with you or whatever else it is that means your fifteen minutes of relevance are up, and that’s when you’ll be fucked because no matter how much you insist otherwise you didn’t do things “the right way”. Paige requires Halle tell her that she is also elevating being a WAG because she’s not just any WAG, she’s THEE WAG. Mind you, we went into this saying we wanted to talk about getting married to Tommy and all we say is that he’s “theeeee sweetest man” and that’s it, it’s then all about Paige viewing their relationship as a business opportunity and “elevating”. Relationships because you like someone and think of them as a whole and complete person that you want to spend your life and foster companionship and connection with is for suckers and poor people! Instead she has to - and I shit you not, this is truly the podcast where we say all the quiet parts out loud - talk about how this is a good business opportunity because living in Connecticut means she doesn’t dress up as much so now she can dress up for tennis matches and this “adds layers to her content”. If any man I dated when asked about me could only say that I was “sweet” and “supportive" and “added layers to his content” the way I would dump him so fast it would break the space-time continuum. Again Paige must mention she, too, is an athlete and a ski racer. “Honestly my tennis content kind of performs best of all my content. But to be honest, and I’ve said this before, being a WAG is the most - I mean the LEAST interesting thing about me and I don’t want to make it too much of my personality.” Well, it’s too late for (gestures vaguely) all of that. Sometimes around the forty minute mark this goes completely off the rails where Halle gives up and all the questions become “Paige, how are you so perfect and do it all so perfectly?” and Paige just talks about how great it is and how she’s invented a new type of feminism. Because before Paige, we didn’t see women doing and having it all. See before, especially coming from New England, women could only become a lawyer or work at a bank which was… not feminism, I guess. And then Paige gets upset and defends Trad Wives and how they actually work so hard and are bosses and like yeah no girl, we know, that’s the point. That’s why people don’t like them. Because they preach submission and being simple and conservative and back to basics while actually just being influencers doing influencer shit and running a business. Because it’s okay when THEY do it, but when you don’t do it or can’t do it because you have to put food on the table then it’s a failing on YOUR part. The problem is the hypocrisy. Wedding section where Paige says she wants her wedding to be - and you have to brace yourself for this vision because no one has ever done it like her before - a big party. And also objectifying and infantilizing “The Gays” as accessories and the only people they want to party with, that’s also cool love that. Because they have the aura and vibes and smell nice? I’ve heard they’re also, you know, human beings with thoughts and feelings, but unclear if Halle and Paige have heard that as well. Unclear if Paige gets that Tommy has those either though, to be fair, because she lists that she values Tommy’s opinion because he’s not a businessman and he’s simple and humble. So basically, she values that Tommy is dumb. They really love to talk about how simple Tommy is. Other things that are important to her about Tommy: he’s hardworking, he’s a man, he embodies her brand, he’s American but in a “fresh” way, he loves playing for his country, he’s all the things that Paige also embodies as a person and as a brand What is the opposite of relationship goals because I’ve never wanted to stay single for the rest of my life or join a nunnery more Paige says also the picture we circulate of what she looked like “before” we all made her bigger in it (sure) and also that she thought she looked like Megan Fox in it so good to know her delusion has been a lifelong condition. But also her excuse is that “no one looks like they did in high school” I’m ten years older than Paige and have reconnected and caught up with a few friends from high school in the last year who all went “oh my god you haven’t aged a DAY” and that’s that on letting yourself be the weight you’re going to be by eating three meals a day, leaving your face alone, wearing sunscreen, and hydrating. Anyway Paige is SO salty about “some people” (us) thinking she “had a face transplant”. One of the listener questions is how soon is too soon to ask a man what you are and Paige says very emphatically you should never have to ask a man “what you are” and I am going to go right ahead and say that’s terrible but very in character passive-aggressive advice. So Paige brought you close to say that and I’m going to bring you closer and say no. You need to communicate clearly in relationships. If you have questions, you need to ask them. People are not mind readers. Don’t leave things to vibes and implications, that’s how miscommunications and hurt feelings happen. If you expect that people are going to live by arbitrary rules and expectations you have in your head and then don’t explain what those are or let questions and resentments fester or run from anyone who inspires a single question or need for clarification inside of you, that’s a great way to never grow and learn as a person and have terrible relationships because you feel resentful and take it out in covertly the way Paige does forever. Oh thank god we’re done, this is nine pages long single spaced and I hate every choice in my life that led me to this point. God bless you if you for whatever godforsaken reason read this far and goodbye forever. submitted by /u/Formal_Pea9167 to r/nycinfluencersnarking [link] [comments]

Hey ladies! I’m having such a hard time finding cargo pants that fit me good for my factory job. I currently have one pair of wrangles straight fit 36x34 mens pants that fit me amazing but with how often I’m bending down and moving around - the crotch has started to rip.. The pants I want, need to have those big, baggy pockets on the side of the pants leg as well as back and front pockets. In women’s sizing, I’m roughly a size 14-16 depending on the pants. I am 5’10 and have bigger hips, and that’s where I like to wear my pants at, above my hips. I have very long legs and hate when pants only go to my ankles so I always size up.. in men’s sizing I am a 34 or 36 waist with a 36 to 38 length. I’ve been scrolling this subreddit for over an hour looking through previous posts and have stopped by so many websites. I’ve looked at dovetail, carhartt, dewalt, amazon, Duluth trading Co, truewerk, and so many more and either their largest inseam size is a 32”, or they don’t have the correct type of cargo pants.. I’m so frustrated. Any suggestions? submitted by /u/Angel-luv666 to r/BlueCollarWomen [link] [comments]

Been reading this sub and its guides for a long time. I had top surgery earlier this year. Now finally getting to quit camouflaging a body I didn't feel right in, stop buying massively oversized clothes, and build a more coherent wardrobe. My goal here is to mix more masc pieces with my existing femme ones to get to a "slightly fruity guy shops both sides of the store" vibe. Asking MFA as I'm trying to learn how to dude, but if this is too far afield for this sub, let me know :) Big question**:** I'd really like help identifying some of the gaps in my wardrobe. I can't buy everything at once, but what should I prioritize finding/adding, to be able to put some things together better? What kinds of cuts should I look for? Additionally: What style (below) am I describing/going for - e.g. what key words should I be searching for with inspo? Are there certain brands/stores/etc available in the EU (or even other IG/TT accounts) I should be looking at? ...And: how on earth do I style a sweater vest in winter without looking like a square? Inspo: I'm aiming for slouchy-masculine shapes, casual but put together, mostly minimalist with a few touches of bright colors or luxurious texture (a little bit of dopamine dressing??). I follow and like Luke Liu (@lukeliiu), Daz (@dairemats), Chris Ly (@chriswhly), @FashionwithNathan, though perhaps the latter two are a bit more advanced than my level so far. This capsule and inspo guide also speaks to me. Other Pinterest images that seem to capture the vibe: one | two | three | four | five | six Lifestyle: living in a northern European city, and my world tends toward informality, streetwear and black/dark clothing. My days are working from home, gym, errands, social meet-ups (e.g. dinner, bar, gallery, sometimes clubbing). Occasional work events range from polished/creative streetwear to smart-casual; very infrequently business-casual. Silhouettes: I shop on both men's and women's sides. I’m 175cm, flat chest and relatively broad shoulders. Pants can be tricky - I still have hips so sometimes need to buy pants from the women's side / inseams of some brands like Uniqlo are short for me. I like to emphasize height/long lines, so tend towards fitted or slightly draping items (rather than super boxy or bulky), wide-leg pants, chunky shoes. Curious to play more with proportion and volume. Budget level: Aiming for decent quality but on a budget. Often shopping at COS, Weekday, Asos, Uniqlo, Zalando, Vinted, seldom Zara, local secondhand/flea markets. Willing to spend a little more for investment pieces and to vary my "usual" stores a bit. /// What I already have for fall/winter wardrobe (excluding gym wear): 3 buttonups, all quite oversized: white dress shirt, black non-iron, bleach-and-black tiedye workshirt (white probably needs replacing and isn't great quality) 2 fitted longsleeves: black Smartwool base layer, mesh-ish Weekday monochrome tiedye (similar, but in brown) ~5 sweaters: olive Uniqlo roundneck, black turtleneck, oversized cotton Zara black V-neck (similar). Just ordered a burgundy grandpa cardigan and a gray full-zip with a standup collar. 2 sweater vests I've never known how to style: Jaded olive asymmetric zip vest, Uniqlo cream vest Some layering t-shirts and tank tops in black and white from COS, Uniqlo, etc. One Prince t-shirt and a couple other band/music shirts. Jeans/slacks: gray Jaded Colossus jeans (a little ratty), black Bershka dressy-ish pants (need replacing; no pockets) and Urban Classics black twill pants, two miscellaneous pairs of more upcycle-y, distressed, bleach-dyed jeans (gray/black, brown/black) that are very casual. 1pr black cargo pants I wear only for clubbing and don't know how to style outside that context. One gray pinstripe suit: women's section, jacket needs tailoring and I'm not sure how to style it casually. Pants are wide-leg, flowy and easier to mix with casual clothing. Sweats: WATC cream hoodie, WATC black zip-up hoodie (both oversized but in a good way), Urban Classics fitted black hoodie, Carhartt purple velour/velvety crewneck. Adidas green classic track pants, Adidas black parachute track pants (old; need replacing), heavy gray Weekday sweatpants. Bags: Carhartt waist bag, an Adidas shoulder bag, UY Studio black vegan leather sling bag, Zara faux-leather laptop backpack (similar). Shoes: Nike Blazers low, black Salomon XT-6 trail runners, Doc Martens Jadon platforms. Doc Martens cherry red low 1461s I'm debating whether to break in better or sell (they're a little clown shoe-y). Outerwear: Leather moto jacket (women's brand, but boxy/straight cut), way oversized leather bomber jacket (thrifted; similar silhouette), Weekday wool mix long coat, a leopard fake fur I'm considering getting tailored from an A-line shape to a straighter, more masc shape (???), simple black bomber that I'd like to swap for something w more volume. Other misc accessories: Simple black leather belt with square silver hardware, 1 clear plastic belt with grommets; a couple simple chain necklaces and rings in gold and silver, Casio watches in gold and silver. Lots of appreciation to y'all! submitted by /u/OkBet1233 to r/malefashionadvice [link] [comments]

Hey everyone I wanted to talk what to wear on the job, something I have not scene on here too too much. This isn't just about looking good exactly (though that helps!); it's about protecting your body, staying comfortable, and straight-up making more money. As service workers, our ability to work directly impacts putting food on the table. And let's be real, if you dress like a slob, prepare to get paid like one. Studies even back this up, people respect you more and pay you more based on how you dress and carry yourself. This isn't just theory; it's the truth. So, right off the bat, I got to recommend you lose that black cotton "Smoke Errday" t-shirt and the questionable smell from last nights bad decisions. Have some pride in your appearance; it boosts your confidence and earns respect from others. Remember, people connect to humans, so being genuine in your presentation creates a deeper connection. Look, some might call me a "fat wannabe detailer", but I’ve learned a thing or two through trial and error. Here’s my head-to-toe breakdown of what to wear to help you out there in the elements. I have done my best to focus on why each choice is about value for you: saving time, solving a problem, or helping you make more money. Headwear: Safety First (and Lookin' Good & controlling the temp) This is non-negotiable for safety. Hats keep your head warm or cool and protected, which is huge when you’re out in the elements. The Dad Hat The Dad Hat or Bucket Hat Bucket Hat: Now I know some of you are probably thinking wearing either of these immediately throws out any professionalism, and I get that. However, to me this is a non-negotiable safety issue. The breathability and shade from these can actually reduce head temps by 10 degrees, as studies have shown. Plus, these hats are super durable in their own ways. Pro-Tip: I think the one I specifically picked out is overpriced. My advice? Stop by the popular mom-and-pop gas station and see if the rack jobber stocked any of these. Sometimes you can find them two for $25 or so with your city or state's logo. I truly never would have given these a look until I was out in the field with the air guys on Team 1. They actually wore the huge rice farming ones that have even more shade... but also look slightly ridiculous. Regardless, keep it classy, no beer or unprofessional insignias. Moisture-Wicking Cooling Hats (like Mission brand)** Mission Cooling Hat: These are also a very good option, especially the bucket one for the benefit of the shade. Studies show that these can cool you down by about 10-12 degrees Mission Cooling Hat Review. Winter Alternatives: A nice-fitting over-ear beanie Carhartt Mens Woodside Hat should do the trick. Once again, keep it professional, no fing ball on top, you're not 7. Pair this with some mechanic gloves HLDD HANDLANDY Flexible Warehouse Construction. The biggest things here are you still want your beanie to be able to breathe a bit, and the gloves can't be so thick that you can't get into those details. For Bald Detailers (and Sweat Control): Helmet liners SUNMECI Cooling Breathable Lightweight Cycling or Skull Caps MISSION Cooling Helmet Liner Skull: The official term for these is helmet liner. I actually hate wearing these because I feel like I am wearing a durag in public something my dad always frowned on. However, they somewhat stop the sweat from pooling all over the person's car, so I figure it's a better option. I just always wait to put this on after I greet the customer, along with the hat. Be sure to not get the wrong versions of these like the Geyoga Cooling Wicking Running Exercise. Maybe it's just me, but these don't breathe as well and are super tight, giving me a headache. A balaclava could also be an option here, as it can be used for cooling, warming, or a slight PPE effect. Neck Protection: cool the neck & wipe that sweat: Next, I would consider a neck towel such as MISSION Evaporative Instantly Protection in the summer months. You can use a balaclava for this, however, I like this option because you can freely use it to wipe your face when the helmet liner isn't enough to stop the sweat, and you can easily take it off to get it wet, snap it cool, and throw it back on. This "zooms into the moment" of relief on a hot day. Shirts: Breathe Easy, Stay Professional Choosing the wrong shirt or pants can cause so many health issues like blistering and chafing. My personal preference is to love fisherman attire. In my opinion, it's professional enough because it has the collar, but it also breathes incredibly well and keeps you dry.• Long-sleeve options: Surprisingly, you can wear the long-sleeve versions in summer, and they are actually super nice, and they catch (grossly) the sweat running down your arms. Budget-Friendly Picks: Habit Men's UPF 40 UV Protection River Shirts Habit Men's UPF 40 UV Protection Short Sleeve River Shirt: These are a fantastic deal, often half-off at Sam's Club or Walmart. Considering these type of shirts can get up in the $80s, $16 bucks is a fantastic deal. They are super nice-fitting, durable, and have great sizing (for reference, I am 6ft tall and extra portly and wear only a 2x comfortably). They're great because they are UPF 40, and the relaxed fit aids mobility. Note: Only buy Habit from Walmart or Sam's; it sells out quick because for some reason it's literally half-off there. If you cannot get these, the Realtree Men's Short Sleeve Performance Fishing Guide Shirts Realtree Men's Short Sleeve Performance Fishing Guide Shirt Men's are a similar fit and have been durable for me. Just watch out because they have different fits that for me just don't work. Avoid: A couple of other "no's" for me are the Eddie Bauer ones; they are just too constrictive. Pants & Shorts: Mobility and Durability Next, we have pants and shorts. For shorts, I do like these Realtree Hybrid Fishing Shorts Men's Realtree Hybrid Fishing Shorts Grey Pebble. They used to have a better pair that fit really nice, but with these ones, the tightener does need to be re-sewn or reinforced. These types of pants loosen during the day, and it's nice to have the built-in belt... unless it breaks. They do run a bit big also. I do think Academy had a few options in these, however, they don't usually have as good of a belt system, typically leaning towards annoying drawstring solutions, and a higher price tag. Next, let's talk pants. Wrangler Men's Outdoor All Terrain Cargo Pant with UPF 50 Protection Wrangler Men's Outdoor All Terrain Cargo Pant with UPF 50 Protection. These (IMO) are the only answer! I love these pants, and when I am not detailing, I wear them everywhere. The assortment of colors and fit are amazing, to say the least. They are UPF 50 and also moisture-wicking, have a comfortable waistband, and are durable. They do wear slightly in the middle, but they have not ripped, and once again, I am a bit past portly. Footwear: Stay Firm, Stay Comfy Now, let's talk about footwear. I would go with these, although I am still testing, I think these Crocs InMotion Pacer Crocs InMotion Pacer are a good option, with a few caveats. Be sure to try them on in person; you may need to size down to make them safe. One weird thing that happens when your feet get wet is you tend to slide around, which can make you fall and cause a bunch of other issues. Also, these did rub my Achilles ankle a bit raw, which I am thinking is due to them being a bit too big. The big thing is definitely get dark ones! The gray ones look amazing, but they get dirty and look like crap fast. These are amazing because you can get them wet, they dry fast, and are comfortable. They are 25 percent off right now on the website, and they have a great military discount. Pretty dope, honestly, you cannot ask for much more. The biggest thing is do NOT wear normal Crocs under any circumstance. Honorable Mentions: Prepare for Anything A few honorable mentions would be a decent winter jacket and maybe some rain attire. Don't forget in the winter to pack some extra socks if you're mobile. Wearing wet socks for a prolonged period can cause some serious issues [National Center for Biotechnology Information - Cold Exposure](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK482364/. When in doubt... change them out! I have a stories about being stranded on a mountain, feeling near death, and a marine telling me to swap my socks out. I don't know why it worked, but I felt brand fing new. Hope this list helps you, obviously not an end all be all. What types of things do you all wear and why?

Sup guys, I was getting a lot of requests for clothing in the largest possible sizes. It took almost one week to individually check the quality and size chart with the help of Regina to finally create a post that has link to items in sizes that would fit almost every muscular or big dude in the community. All the tops are items that have chest circumference larger than 128cms and all the pants are in sizes with waist larger than 90+cms.

If you have any requests just lemme and drop me a message in my DMs Make sure to ask for pre shipment photos after ordering. If you don't like some details about the order you can still cancel the order.

Dear Repfam, here is our 'TOP SELLERS LIST' mainly comprised of the sellers we as Mods use to buy our items on a regular basis and from whom you'll be seeing regular reviews. I have categorized the list and items store wise with each store having their items listed with a direct purchase link. As it is while purchasing, please ask the sellers for QC pics before buying an item. If a link has changed or a link is not working, please report it to us via messages and we will fix the link. This is a dynamic list and so as time passes some items will keep disappearing while new items will keep getting added. So, keep an eye out for the new items that get added. 👡🥾🥿👞SHOES👞🥿🥾👡 STORE NAME ITEMS AP PRO 21 STORE (TOP QUALITY ITEMS) TRAVIS/JORDAN 1 LOWS, JORDAN 4, UGG TASMANS, LV TRAINERS, DIOR B22/B23/B25/B30, ON CLOUD MODELS, GUCCI RHYTON SNEAKERS, ASICS VARIOUS MODELS, UGG BAILEY BOW TOP SPORT MARKET (YEEZY KING) YEEZY 350 PK, YEEZY 500/700 PK, SLIDES, YEEZY 350 TOP, JORDAN 4 PK, JORDAN 1, UGG MIXED MODELS VAPMAX (TOP QUALITY PAIRS) JORDAN 4, JORDAN 3, TRAVIS SCOTT PAIRS, JORDAN 11, SB DUNKS, JORDAN 1 HIGH, JORDAN 5, AIR MAX 97, SB DUNKS PT. 2 HD HHHH STORE (BUDGET PAIRS) GUCCI LOAFERS, LV TRAINER SNEAKERS, HERMES BOUNCE SNEAKER, ASICS GEL NYC/KAYANO 14, LANVIN CURB SNEAKERS, TIMBERLAND BOOTS, GUCCI GG RHYTON, MAISON MARGIELA REPLICA, ON SNEAKERS CLOUD NOVA/ CLOUD X3/ CLOUD MONSTER/ CLOUD 5 👕👖🧥👗🩳CLOTHES🩳👗🧥👖👕 STORE NAME ITEMS AP PRO 21 STORE (TOP QUALITY ITEMS) DENIM TEARS HODDIES AND PANTS, BAPE HOODIES, GOD SPEED T-SHIRTS, LULULEMON ZIPPER SWEATER, HELLSTAR T-SHIRTS, NORTH FACE GILETES, PALM ANGELS TRACKSUITS, LULULEMON YOGA WORKOUT SETS, PURPLE JEANS, GUCCI HOODIES, NORTH FACE 700 NUPTSE TOP QUALITY, ESSENTIALS HOODIES, T-SHIRTS, SHORTS & PANTS HITOJIANG (T-SHIRTS & POLOS) CASABLANCA TEEs, BALENCIAGA TEEs, OFF WHITE TEEs, LV TEEs, RALPH LAUREN LONG SLEEVE POLO, PRADA TEEs (UPTO 7XL), DOLCE GABBANA (UPTO 7XL), PATAGONIA TEEs, SP5DYR TEEs, A.S.S.C.

I thought some of you might be interested in my thoughts and experiences. I doubt anyone outside of LTT staff has worn the same pair as much as I have. As someone who wears cargo pants daily, I was excited when the LTT Cargo Pants were announced. I ordered a pair as soon as they were available. My order arrived Oct. 11, and I have been wearing them every day since - with the exception of perhaps 4-6 days. I am writing this review today because after 2 months of daily use, I am retiring them for the winter in favour of warmer fleeced lined pants during the sub-zero months. TL;DR: Overpriced for what they offer, in my opinion. Good pants, but not recommended for hard use. Good overall fit, very comfortable, pockets are too small. They would be good pants for light duty, mostly office work. Here's a photo album of what they look like today, plus a few pic from the past couple months: https://imgur.com/a/TwH8DRS A little bit about how I wear/use my pants for reference: I typically wear the same pair of pants every day, wash them when I get home from work, and hang them up to dry overnight, ready for the next morning. This habit has been on-going for the past 4 years; I have a very small apartment, and all I had to wash clothes was a portable washing machine that could only fit a single set of clothing at a time. I recently upgraded to a slightly larger, more modern machine, but my habit remains for now since the new machine can still only handle 2-3 sets of clothing. I work in facility maintenance; my jobs include a healthy mix of trades - some light carpentry/electrical/plumbing, a fair bit groundskeeping, mechanics, metal fab/machining, pool maintenance, IT support, Audio/Visual, etc. Lots of exposure to grease, oils, and various chemicals; abrasion, hot metal sparks and slag, etc. I’m a fairly large guy - over 6’ pushing 300lbs. I am tough on my clothing - a pair of Dickies cargo pants from Walmart typically lasts less than a month with my habits. I’ve tried a number of different brands - Carhartt, Helly Hanson, Dakota, Timberland - but my favourites so far are Duluth Trading Co Fire Hose pants, so those are what I’ll be comparing the LTT pants to. I have a number of different Duluth pants, but the closest I have to the LTT pants are the DuluthFlex Fire Hose Cargo Pants Finally, my thoughts: At first, I wasn’t sure if I liked them. They fit well and were very comfortable, with lots of stretch and mobility. The pockets are a different style than I’m used to, and much smaller - my iPhone 14 Pro doesn’t sit nearly as deep as I like and I was worried about it falling out, especially when driving lawn mowers/tractors/backhoe etc. The belt loops seem flimsy - much thinner than I’m used to. I had one break, and others are showing signs of breaking soon. I wouldn’t suggest using the hammer loops for any framing hammers or larger - maybe they would work for some small body work or machinist hammers. The material otherwise seems nice - it has good flex, reasonably abrasion resistant, though I didn’t test it much against heat - only occasional grinding and a little bit of welding. It is quite a noisy material, which is not normally a problem, but very noticeable out hunting. So far theres only a couple tears - one in the right knee, and another just starting on the rear. The edges of the pockets are starting to fray some, but nothing bad yet. They’ve collected quite a number of stains, despite daily washing. I’ve tried some stain remover, but so far they are quite stubborn. Ive also noticed they seem to have faded quite a bit - I’m not quite sure how much without a new pair to compare against, but there is a noticeable colour difference between the inside of the pockets and outside now. Despite my reservations about their size, I did really enjoy the pockets. My typical EDC includes: top right hand pocket: earpro, leatherman, pocket knife; front right pockets: LTT screwdriver, knipex cobras; top left pocket: phone, flashlight; left front pocket: pager; left cargo pocket: iso-tunes; right rear pocket: truck key; right cargo zippered pocket: wallet; right belt loop: keys. The abundance of pockets let me keep spots open for other tools as needed. I really enjoyed the front pockets - they are perfect sized for screwdrivers, wrenches, and pliers, without falling down and getting lost. i just with the main top left and right pockets were deeper, and the main compartment of the cargo pockets was larger. For reference, with my Duluth pants, I can fit an iPad in the cargo pockets. I was initially skeptical about the magnetic pocket closures, but I will admit they are nice - though maybe not for me at work. I like the snap, and I like that I don’t have to peel my socks off the velcro after washing, but for me, they tend to collect a lot of metal shavings. Mine seem to be permanently stained with metal now. That said, it hasn’t had any effect on their function so far. Overall, I would say they are nice pants, but a tad overpriced and not designed for my use case. I don’t plan on buying another pair. They seem much more targeted to someone in an office job, with not a lot of physical abuse/wear and tear on their clothing. If there was ever a heavy duty version released, I would be very interested in trying those out. Some improvements I would like to see in such a pair: larger pockets, thicker/heavier fabric; built-in kneepad slot, heavily reinforced belt loops, crotch gusset. A fleece lined option might be nice for these Canadian winter months too eh? Once it warms up again, I plan to continue wearing this pair until they fail completely. submitted by /u/dbmeed to r/LinusTechTips [link] [comments]

Building A Masculine-Leaning Wardrobe, With Considerations for Body Type Or, the Basic Bastard, but for Butch/Stud/Masc Lesbians who can't just go wear men's clothes. Alternate, more-detailed, google doc link. How to use this guide: This is intended to be a tool to help folks who are rethinking their fashion to be more masculine, who want some product recommendations, and folks who are frustrated with how their body shape, size, etc. doesn't let them dress how they want to dress. It is not meant to be the masc fashion bible, nor is it meant to represent anything but the opinion of two people who want to help folks potentially feel better about the clothes they’re trying on in stores and maybe find some clothes that work for them. It is, however, meant to help people branch out and away from jeans, a hoodie, and a t-shirt. The idea behind this guide is to help people find and build a starter wardrobe that they can then expand on. We want to get you enough masculine clothes that you can go out on a nice date, through a job interview, go out with friends, and look presentable at work and/or school for a few days without laundry. The basic wardrobe consists of the following: A pair of slacks A pair of jeans A short and long-sleeve button-up shirt A handful of t-shirts that fit you well A flannel (note that I say a singular flannel) A denim/chambray shirt A pair of shorts A handful of tank tops (or vests) that work for you A Jean Jacket and Chore Coat, with some recommendations around 1) leather, 2) raincoats, and 3) parkas. This approach draws heavily on The Vivienne Files Starting From Scratch series on constructing a capsule wardrobe, which is well worth the read, even if it is far more of a femme fashion approach. The general principles are the same no matter what kind of clothes you’re shopping for or general vibe for fashion you’re rolling with. Disclaimer: This post is also informed by my (180, 5'7, broad shoulders and narrower hips) and my native Hawaiian girlfriend's (175, 5'3, hourglass, very broad shoulders) experiences with masc fashion, body types, etc. As with everything, your mileage may vary on the advice in this post. Disclaimer Two: This post was written by cisgender women primarily thinking about the body types and body fat distributions that cisgender women and non-binary folks, and trans women who have been on estrogen a while deal with. We also live in the US. Please bear this in mind! Some Tools To Help You Succeed in Fashion: Measuring Tape - Knowing your measurements is essential to finding clothes that fit when ordering online and translating between men's and women's clothing. Get someone to help you measure. Always check the size guide. Boob Tape to ensure button-downs stay closed and look uniform - I'm a B/C cup, and my girlfriend is a DDD; we both recommend Hollywood Secrets, which is available at most US-based drug, shoe, and beauty stores. This shit should be your best friend. Do you ever wonder how folks avoid boob gap? This is how. Well, this and a good sports bra. Ideas and Principles to Adopt: READ: Always read fit reviews on websites offering clothing, and be honest about your weight and height with yourself as you read them to see how you would fit these clothes. Also, review clothing that you like! Don't be afraid to add your weight and height to help others as well. Say you’re masc or butch! Help a friend in need. Know your body shape and seek out fashion influencers, advice, etc., that match your body type. For example, if you're curvy, don't follow and look for fashion advice from petite, curve-less, skinny people. That will discourage you and make you want to throw in the towel before you even get into fashion. I'd also argue that's a form of self-harm and, if my girlfriend's experiences are anything to go off of, will turn you off of trying to pay attention to fashion entirely and only gravitate toward "safe things" like hoodies and t-shirts and jeans. Don't be afraid to tailor your clothes, or to learn how to tailor your clothes. Don't be afraid to wear a bra or binder that changes how your breasts lay on your chest - or no bra at all. You can wear a sports bra or binder (if that's your jam) or a more shaped bra depending on what your support needs are and what you want out of the shape of the shirt. It is okay!!!! to have tits and wear a men's shirt, it's all about having the right bra or binder, and probably some boob tape too. Sometimes you have to spend money to get clothes that fit you well - An issue I keep encountering when I read lesbian fashion advice pretty much anywhere is that there are two price points, one is as cheap as humanly possible, and the other assumes a level of disposable income that a lot of people just don’t have. The thing is, sometimes money must be spent to either get clothes that work or help clothes to fit you better. Paying the extra money for the queer brand, or to take that pair of pants that looks so fucking good on you to the tailor is a good thing. There is no shame in spending money to look good. Get comfortable with with saving up for good quality pieces, or for looking at second-hand options. Step 1: Colors According to the Vivienne Files, a good capsule wardrobe has two core colors (e.g., black and brown), and three accent colors (e.g., red, white, and blue). This is not a how to build a capsule wardrobe post, but the general principles are the same. You probably have one or two colors you like on yourself, one of them is probably black. Figure out what the other colors are! My (very white/warm autumn) colors are baby pink, navy blue, cranberry red, gray, and black with some brown and tan accents. My girlfriend's (Native Hawaiian/Italian/cool winter) colors are mustard yellow, olive green, sunset orange, black, and grey with some brown, cranberry red/maroon (she wears so much do this), and navy blue accents. Your colors are your own! Figure out what makes you look good, and make sure to note them down for looking at clothes. Don't buy clothes in colors you look bad in! Step 2: Sizing & Getting Comfortable So here's the kicker: men's clothing doesn't work on everyone's bodies. Women's bodies are, unfortunately, built differently than men's, particularly if you have curves. If this is rough for you or causes you dysphoria, I'm sorry, it sucks. This is a post with some strategies to shop for clothes in the dreaded women's section if that's what you need to do in a way that suits your personal presentation choices (e.g., how to find or make clothing made 'for women' work for your body). Below are some key pointers that are useful for getting started. Firstly, measure yourself! Here are useful measurements for shopping for clothes. In all cases, don't pull the measuring tape tight to ensure accuracy. Otherwise, you'll feel very uncomfortable in the clothes you try on. Shoulder to Shoulder (esp. important if you have broad shoulders.) Bicep circumstance (measure around the widest part of your bicep while flexing) Many women's clothes have small armholes. Knowing this measurement helps to avoid looking like an overly jacked dude in a too-small shirt, ripping seams when you put on a shirt, or wearing shirts that are so tight that you can't bend your arm. This is a good measure of if you need to size up in a shirt because the rest of the measurements can be tailored. Bust (measure across your nipples) Underbust (measure around your ribcage under your breasts) Waist (measure from the narrowest part of your waist -- probably right around your belly button) Hips (measure from the widest part of your hips) Butt (Around the widest part of your ass) Inseam (measure from your ankle up into your crotch) Find clothes that fit your measurements - not clothes you instantly like or safely gravitate towards, but clothes that fit your measurements broadly and diversely - at a department store or a place like Target, Macy's, TJ Maxx, M&S, Primark, etc. that has a wide variety of inexpensive clothing, and try them on, drawing from both the men's and women's sections of the store. This is how you start to figure out what works for your body type and why you have to try things on broadly rather than just what feels "safe.'' Try on the following in a few different styles: Slacks, Jeans, Work Pants, Shorts When selecting clothes to try on, attempt to locate pieces that seem more gender-neutral to you in the women's section, such as straight-legged or boot-cut jeans or slacks (especially if you're curvy). In the men's section, look for athletic cut pants if you have any kind of curve, as these have more flex built into them to accommodate lifting butt on guys. NOTE ON PANT SIZING: Some clothing companies - especially those catering to a broader audience - use your waist size (e.g., 28-inch, 34-inch) as the size of the garment in question. Other companies use different sizing scales (such as a 10, 14, or 18). KNOWING YOUR MEASUREMENTS WILL HELP YOU TO USE THE SIZE GUIDE STORES PROVIDE TO TRANSLATE BETWEEN THE TWO. Button Up Shirts (note: a button down shirt is a shirt that has buttons to secure the collar down, which is why most shirts you'll see are button up, not down shirts). In the men's section, try on both a slim and a regular cut. Slim will be a tighter fit, particularly if you have curves, regular fit may look boxy on you in the wrong bra. In the women's section, try and find blouses that look more masculine -- this will be found by leaving the 'young person' section and going into the professional women's workwear section of the store. Some of these shirts may have darts, some may be cut baggier than others. Try both. Try and grab at least one fun young man Hawaiian shirt, as those are a fixture of masc wardrobes. T-shirts/Tanks (or vests) Grab some men's v-necks (higher neck) and some women's v-necks (deeper neck, less prone to giving boob shelf if the girls are big); Men and women's crew neck t-shirts, as well as thicker strapped men's and women's tank tops -- these should fit more loosely in a men's fit, or more form fitting in a women's fit. Sweaters/Crewnecks Usually unisex sizing -- so just grab one you like. My general advice for the trying on clothes part of this is to potentially also try on two different kinds of bras. If you've got bigger breasts, you probably want a more structured and supportive bra. This could potentially be the one you wear into the store, if you've got a fave, or this could be one you try on. Also, grab a bralette/unsupportive bra and a good sports bra with medium to high support. When looking at shirts try each with each bra. When trying on pants or shorts, drop a big squat and check if you have duck butt. Step 3: Black Slacks Think of this as an investment. The first thing you'll want is to be able to build outfits that you can dress up or down. This starts with a solid pair of slacks or trousers in a #suiting color. In terms of fit, I would suggest that you avoid having these be super baggy or super slim fitting. Slim or Skinny fitting will make the outfit look feminine (in terms of slacks) and baggy tends to make people look like their clothes are swallowing them. Neither of these looks is good for a wardrobe staple. Some advice from r/butchlesbians: Hem or cuff all pants so there is no excess fabric bunching at the ankle – this makes you look shorter. It is worth it to get nicer slacks hemmed for this reason alone. Keywords to look for: Trousers, Slacks, (and for a slightly more casual look, chinos) Avoid: Cargo pockets, drawstrings, no belt loops, pocket stitching on the pant leg, or double knees. Slacks cut like Wildfang's Empower Trouser, H&M's basic Slacks, Old Navy's Built-in Flex Slim Rotation Chinos or High-Waisted OGC Chino Pants, Both&'s Marlo, Daper Boi’s Slim Fit Chino Pants or Everlane's Utility Barrel Pant or Stretch Twill 5 Pocket Pant have a nice silhouette that can be made casual or dressed up should the occasion call for it. Note: If you look at the reviews and see pictures of either models or owners of the pant style in question and you don't like how it looks on a body type similar to yours, don't order them as returning clothes can be a pain in the ass with time limits and other challenges. However, if you're in a store and can try them on, give them a shot! You might be surprised! Brand Recommendations: $20-40 USD: Target, H&M, Old Navy, Uniqlo $41-80 USD: Gap, Uniqlo, Androgynous Fox $81-120 USD: Everlane, Wildfang, Both&, Dapper Boi $120+ USD: Peau De Loup, Haute Butch, Kirrin Finch Caveat: As I'm sure you've noticed, to buy clothes designed for queer people by other queer people, you have to spend more money. I wish this wasn't the case, as these companies price out most queer folks with how much their clothing costs. However, as these trousers are an investment, it's worth spending more for them and supporting a queer brand if you have the funds to do so. Also, many of these are available on resale sites like Poshmark or Facebook Marketplace. If you know your size, you can easily get pants from Wildfang and other queer-catering brands for far less money (e.g., I paid $35 for my Wildfang empower trousers on Poshmark). Step 4: Button-Down Shirts Button-downs are the staple of any masculine wardrobe -- you're going to end up owning about ten of them. The unfortunate thing about button-downs, though, is that they're a pain in the ass to figure out, fit-wise. Men's shirts tend to fit women with larger breasts or wider hips poorly because (the vast majority of) men don't have large breasts or hips. So when shopping for a button-up, try to take this into account and don’t let not fitting into a men’s shirt ruin your day. There are options! A good button-up should fit your shoulders without there being a ton of space to move around (i.e., you should be able to raise your arms, but you should not be able to grab handfuls of fabric on each shoulder and pull. It also should fit your neck. Men tend to have wider necks than women, which means their shirts are built to accommodate this fact. Gaping collars make shirts look oversized and, therefore, visually look like they fit you poorly, even if they fit the rest of your body well. When shopping for button-ups, try to avoid gaping collars. A good button-up shirt is also one you can comfortably button the whole way down. This includes the last button. A big problem I see with many masc or butch lesbians is that they’re wearing shirts that don’t fit their hips, while they do fit their shoulders, chest, and neck. A solution for this is tucking your shirt in, yes, but sometimes you don’t want to do that, and having a shirt that can be versatile with both a tucked-in and tucked-out look is essential for this wardrobe staple. The good news is that many button-down options are available for women’s bodies that don’t have darts or a feminine cut. However, sometimes, if you’ve got hips, you need a feminine cut that has more space through the hips. Companies like Androgynous Fox, Wildfang, Bridge & Burn, Dapper Boi, Peau De Loup, and Kirrin Finch have all taken this into account in designing shirts that fit women’s bodies. But there are cheaper options as well. Target’s men's section is where I’d start. If you can make a Goodfellow and Co button-down shirt work for you, you’re golden. Try on a few of them. This said, if for whatever reason, a men’s button down doesn’t work for you – take a look at Androgynous Fox's The Mickey, Urban Outfitter’s Cooper Solid Button Down, H&M’s Muscle Fit Cotton Shirt (more space in the chest for breasts) or Wildfang’s The Essential Oxford Button Up. If you have money to burn, Kirrin Finch’s Frankie is cartoonishly expensive but quite worth the price. Everlane’s Relaxed Oxford Shirt is also quite pricey but goes on sale often. In terms of plus size recommendations, Wildfang, Androgynous Fox, and Kirrin Finch all accommodate a wide variety of body types. I’ve also found that Morning Witch's Button Down Shirts (Deathly Bouquet) go up to 4XL. Maurice's Plus Size 90s Prep Relaxed Button Up Shirt and Old Navy’s Linen Blend Button Down Boyfriend Shirt go up to 4X. What’s important to note here is that these sizes are built to accommodate how women’s bodies grow in size rather than how men’s bodies do – these are shirts that provide a boyish, masculine look while also being designed with bodies like yours in mind. Styling Tips: A short-sleeve collared shirt is easier to wear underneath a sweater, crew-neck sweatshirt, or open in the front. A long-sleeve collared shirt is easier to wear buttoned up and tucked in—it also looks more professional. Brand Recommendations: $20-40 USD: Target, H&M, Old Navy, Uniqlo, Urban Outfitters $41-80 USD: Gap, Uniqlo, Androgynous Fox, Urban Outfitters, Morning Witch $81-120 USD: Everlane, Wildfang, Bridge and Burn, Dapper Boi $120+ USD: Peau De Loup, Haute Butch, Kirrin Finch Step 5: Jeans Denim is an essential part of any masculine wardrobe. r/malefashionadvice has a master post about Denim that includes the various terms you may encounter when shopping for denim or jeans that work for you and your body. This master post is essential when reflecting on fit, style, color, etc. It’s also written by fashionable, and nerdy-about-fashion, guys, and has some good product recommendations. A good pair of jeans can look professional (if they are in a cut that looks professional [i.e., not excessively baggy]) or casual, depending on how they are styled. What we want from these jeans is a silhouette that isn’t too form-fitting - but also doesn’t look like it is oversized. Currently, fashion for young people is shifting away from more form-fitting cuts of jeans into baggy styles of jeans – which is fine if that floats your boat. Still, for a pair of jeans that you are turning into a masculine wardrobe staple, I recommend sticking to the more classic cuts: Boot, Straight Leg, Slim, Athletic Slim, or Skinny. I am including skinny here because sometimes, particularly if you are bottom-heavy, skinny jeans can be very slimming, while baggy jeans only work on particular body types (such as those who are skinny, slim, apple-shaped) and tend to feminize bodies that aren’t that type. Vintage Levis are a staple of hipster men’s fashion these days (writing in summer 2024) because they sit at men’s natural waists, which makes them better than a lot of current cuts of men’s jeans to fit a body with hips or an ass. If you’re short and have curves, particularly in the hip, try bootcut jeans. Levi’s makes great vintage-style bootcut women’s jeans (my girlfriend’s go-to) as well as the 315s, which are shaping in a similar look. For a more classically masculine look in women’s jeans, you can also try the higher-waisted 80s Mom Jeans which are tapered, or the straight-fit, mid-rise wedgie that is a favorite recommendation of dyke fashion bloggers. r/mensfashionadvice also suggests the following if you can make men’s pants work for you: Levis 510 (skinny), 511 (slim), 512 (slim taper), 513 (slim straight), 514 (looser slim straight). Bullet point from curvy girlfriend: Don’t be afraid to mid or high-waist it. Levi’s Wedgie only goes up to a 34-inch waist – HOWEVER, I wear a 32, have a 36-inch natural waist and a 47-inch around the widest part of my butt [and a 27-inch inseam] – so I’d encourage you to try them on if you are even remotely close to these measurements. My go-to pair of jeans is the Goodfellow athletic cut jeans from Target (linked in a lighter wash). I’ve also had good luck with Urban Outfitters BDG brand’s vintage slim fit jean (men’s) and their high-waisted cowboy jean (women’s). Additionally, Old Navy’s OG Slim-Straight High/Mid-Waisted Jean (also in curvy) is sized for women (on a 00-30 scale as opposed to 24-50-inch waist scale). Bear your measurements in mind when looking at their stuff. My girlfriend has had good luck with Lee jeans (which are sold at Wal-Mart) and jeans from Express. I have enjoyed my jeans from Nordstrom x Wildfang’s collaboration and my skinny jeans from the Gap. The thing with jeans is that you probably already have a pair or three that you like. What I’d focus on is for more dressy jeans, go for a darker wash with no rips or tears, but for casual jeans, whatever works, works. Don’t let fashion snobs bully you out of clothing that you like and makes you feel confident, or tell you that the cut of jeans that works for you isn’t fashionable anymore (I’m looking at you, Gen-Z), and understand that if it works for you, it works for you and you are the one who makes it fashion. Don’t throw out your skinnies – if you want to wear baggy jeans go for it! Remember that everyone’s style is different but that if something is too baggy or too skinny it tends to look unprofessional. Step 6: T-Shirts Derek Guy (the menswear blogger), has an incredible Twitter thread on how to find a t-shirt that fits you well. Start Here. If you can’t be bothered, essentially he argues that there is a certain ratio between a person’s torso and legs in those classic pictures of men in t-shirts that we masc folks covet as like, fashion goals: slightly cropped torso, long legs. T-shirts are, in general, cut long because t-shirt companies need to sell across multiple torso sizes. This is why styles like the half/french tuck on the t-shirt are so popular with fashion modeling and photography – the shirt is simply too long for both the model’s torso and where their pants sit on their legs. Point being: cheap men’s t-shirts - a staple of most masculine-leaning lesbian wardrobes - tend to sit oddly on a lot of bodies – particularly if you’re shorter, have noticeable breasts or hips, or are rounder about the middle. Buying a 10-pack of Hanes or Fruit of the Loom t-shirts at Walmart will get you places if you have a very specific body type, but most likely, you don’t have that body type. That’s okay! Good quality t-shirts both last longer, and fit you better, but you have to pay more for them. Don’t get sticker shock at spending 20 bucks on a t-shirt if it fits you well and works for your body. So how do you, in trying to find more masculine looks, find a stylish t-shirt that works? Ideally, a t-shirt should fit about 1/3 of your body – most men’s t-shirts are cut to fit 1/2 of a man. Given that you are - most likely - not a six-foot tall man, you probably want to focus on the silhouette that falls just above or just below your hips. Boxier cuts, if you’re slim, look very good on women with breasts. You can also achieve this by tucking in a t-shirt at your natural waist. Don’t french tuck, that was horrific advice on Queer Eye. Cut and Style There are three necklines and one style that I think are particularly useful for wardrobe building: Crew neck (think your traditional collar on a sweatshirt or sweater that doesn't have a hood) This is your basic ‘unisex’ t-shirt A crew neck with jeans or slacks looks effortlessly classy or casual, depending on how it is styled. V-Neck (shaped like a v, obviously) In women’s clothing, v-necks tend to be a bit deeper A v-neck t-shirt under a button-up or flannel allows you to comfortably button up the shirt to the neck without having too many layers of fabric in the way. Henley (buttons at the neck) In women’s clothing, henleys tend to cut lower with more of a boat or scoop-cut neckline before the buttons start. A henley can be worn with anything but looks great underneath a chunky sweater – the kind you find at Goodwill and are like score. Baseball Style Tees (Typically with full sleeves or 3/4 length sleeves - though they do come in short sleeves too) Characterized by having sleeves of a different color than the rest of the shirt and the triangular cut of the sleeves going into the neckline of the shirt is good for people with broad shoulders. Baseball tees make everyone look masculine - they’re practically designed this way. I think they’re a positive staple in anyone’s wardrobe if you’re trying to create a masculine vibe. So try some t-shirts from both the women’s and men’s sections in a place like Target or a department store. Try the athletic and boxy fits and maybe some of the shirts with deeper v-necks, too. Gay men wear them all the time, why can’t you? Product Recommendations My favorite all-time masculine-looking t-shirts are Target’s A New Day Women’s Short Sleeve T-shirt (curvy girlfriend note: these don’t fit well if you have hips, as they tend to sit at the hips and ride up to them), Homage’s Women’s Go-To Tee, Arizona Men’s V-Neck Short Sleeve T-Shirt, Androgynous Fox Basics | V Neck (warning that this shirt runs LONG AF and needs to be tucked in to work and I’m 5’7”). Gap’s Everyday Soft Crewneck T-Shirt (originally got these in a three-pack), H&M Basics T-shirt and their Linen-Blend T-shirt (love the deep v on this). What you’ll notice here is that these are all women’s t-shirts except the ones from Arizona and Gap, but they have the length to achieve the correct length slightly cropped on my body. What you’ll also notice here is that these are all short-sleeved, because I live in a warmer environment. As a Vermonter, I'd be remiss if I did not share this recent NYT write up on Comfort Colors, as the factory is just up the road from my mom's place. My girlfriend’s favorite masculine-looking t-shirt is: Carhartt’s Women’s Loose Fit Heavy Weight Short-Sleeve Pocket T-Shirt Some places and styles to check out: Cos Regular-Fit Mid-Weight Brushed T-Shirt or Extra-Fine T-Shirt. Quince 100% Merino Wool All-Season Short Sleeve Base Layer Tee (also in V-Neck/Women’s v-neck). Men’s Heavyweight Short Sleeve T-shirt from Target, Gap’s Everyday Soft Crewneck T-Shirt, Organic Cotton Vintage T-Shirt, Everlane’s Organic Cotton Box Cut Tee. Uniqlo’s Lifewear Supima Cotton Crew Neck T-Shirt, or, if you can wear an oversized tee comfortably: AIRism Cotton Oversized Crew Neck T-Shirt. Additionally, Carhartt’s Women’s Loose Fit Heavy Weight Short-Sleeve Pocket T-Shirt is an excellent pocket tee. T-shirts are your call in terms of cuts and styles that you like, but you should probably have the following basics: Two plain black T-shirts Two plain white T-shirts One plain gray T-shirt Two-Five plain T-shirts in a few colors you like that look good on you! Graphic t-shirts are a separate matter. As I’ve gotten older (I’m 36 now), I’ve found myself staying away from graphic tees in favor of blank t-shirts, but this isn’t everyone’s experience. My girlfriend LOVES graphic tees and practically lives in them. I have a few, though - a vintage Blondie Tour Shirt, a shirt with mountain on it from J-Crew, and a shirt from a farmer’s market with a bunch of beets on it. My girlfriend has many graphic tees, but the point here is that if you have a shirt you like, keep it! This is not a guide for how to find cool graphic t-shirts, though. ---> Part Two Here submitted by

Link to previous haul posts 7.7KG haul 7.4KG haul 5.5KG haul ​ Questions Should I make a CSSbuy starter guide? What could I add to make these reviews even better? Should I change my approach for these reviews? And how? Do the SI parachute pants have the same sizing as the regular cargo's, or what is the difference that I have to keep in mind? What do you think is the best or coolest piece of this haul? Do you have any recommended items for me that I MUST buy in my next haul? Introduction Sup everyone, ​ Welcome to another haul of mine. This time it's part for my fourth documented Freps anti-meme haul where I will do my best to inform you guys and gals as good as I can. I've essentially been building this haul ever since my last haul got shipped out, where I did a lot of research on the items, contemplating and being a general asshat about what I actually need. Once again I'd like to state that if you have any questions regarding the items, shipping, my agent experience, general feedback/tips or anything else then please shoot me a question IN THIS TOPIC AND NOT IN DM. I'll respond as soon as I can, just make sure you have read through everything to avoid me answering questions that are written down. I don't want to repeat myself 200 times. tl;dr: I WILL IGNORE YOUR DM'S AND ONLY REPLY IN THIS TOPIC. Before starting I'd like to give a shoutout to u/repknowledge, Freps discord, RefamNL (dutch Rep community, feel free to ask the discord), Basetao Dutch community discord, CSSbuy (I need some Yuans back ffs) and last but not least you guys. You all give me inspiration to make these reviews, so I hope you guys enjoy it. PS: I AM IN NO WAY PAID TO BY ANY SELLER, AGENT OR DISCORD SERVER THAT I MIGHT LINK IN THIS REVIEW POST OF MINE. I AM OPERATING ON MY OWN AND IF I PROMOTE SOMETHING I ONLY DO THAT BECAUSE I THINK IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL TO YOU, A FASHIONREPS COMMUNITY MEMBER. WHILE I WILL MOSTLY BE POSITIVE IN THIS REVIEW, THIS IS FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCES WITH A SELLER/AGENT/PERSON/DISCORD. I WILL NEVER(!!!!!!!) TAKE ANY PAID PROMOTIONS TO PROMOTE A PRODUCT OR SERVICE THAT I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH AND WILL ALWAYS GIVE MY OBJECTIVE AND POSSIBLE HARSH REVIEW ON SOMETHING OR SOMEONE. IF SOMEONE EVER PAYS ME FOR A PRODUCT OR SERVICE I WILL 100% LET THIS BE KNOWN BEFOREHAND. ​ About me Age: 24 Height: 1.86 meters Weight: 84KG Build: I'd say pretty fit. I'm not a bodybuilder, but I do work out 5-6 times a week (PPL = goated). Retail top size: For almost everything I wear Large as the baseline and size accordingly. Shoe size: 44 ​ ​ Agent Once again I've went with my go-to agent, CSSbuy. It is the cheapest agent there is and I recommend CSSbuy to any somewhat experienced and knowledgeable repfam member. It might not be super starterfriendly, but once you get the hang of what you exactly need then this 100% is the agent of your choice. Especially if you're European they have some great quick (and very cheap) shipping lines. If you don't have a CSSbuy account yet and want to make one you can easily make one by going to their website, or with the referral link I will post at the bottom of this post. CSSbuy positives: Livechat; The one time I used it I got an almost immediate response and the action I needed taken was near-instant as well. Shipping prices. I don't need to say much about it. Their shipping is relatively quick, cheap and also offer a fuckton of shipping options. Do you want your package to do some sightseeing and travel across the Belt and Road Initiative along with a quick pit stop in Namibia? CSSbuy most likely has that option for you. Service costs; For a very small fee you get unlimited QC pictures, you can ask them almost anything and they will do it for you. You may have to wait 1-2 days for action (European timezone is very unfavorable for reps in general, with Chinese working hours being basically deep in our nighttime until early in the afternoon). Agents; While the responses may be a bit slow, they also take a lot of initiative. One example of that was that I requested certain items to be measured pretty specifically (you really need to show them what you want measured really), but the moment I did that all my QC pictures got said specific measurements. If a seller is slow, they'll contact you asking if you want to cancel or keep waiting, and other small things like that. The app; The app isn't amazing (I wouldn't recommend buying items through your phone, it's just much more difficult) but simply having an app where you can quickly check status updates of your purchased items, rehearsal or whatever is very nice. I don't have to wait half a day for me to come home to check the status. Website: Don't get me wrong, they can still fix a lot of the website to make it much more user-friendly. CSSbuy isn't very beginner-friendly. Some things are harder to find, especially if it is your first time with CSSbuy. The more you use it, the better you can navigate around the website and you'll notice how easy some things are there to find and how simplistic things are. Insurance: It's cheap so always worth it. You never know if your airplane crashes, a monsoon ravages your package or whatever. Following instructions: Pretend your agent is a toddler. English is not their native language so also don't be harsh to them if they don't fully understand your wishes. They are here to help you, and if you give GOOD AND CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS they will do the absolute maximum to satisfy you. Security: I swear by having all my accounts as secure as possible. I randomize passwords and never use the same password twice. CSSbuy also allows you to connect 2FA to your account, which I think is massively underrated. You don't want your haul get shipped to hackerman. Reviews: CSSbuy now actively rewards high-quality reviews by giving you a (partial) refund for your haul including shipping costs. If you make use of CSSbuy, I highly recommend making a solid review to get some of that sweet spent cash back. Updates: CSSbuy is currently busy with a change of approach in their style and lately they've been pumping out a lot of updates on not only their UI, but also by adding services. Is it perfect? No. There are probably prettier looking agents out there, but overall CSSbuy will give you the best bang for your buck. ​ Shipping, Invoice & Parcel My agent has the drippiest slides and the longest toes.

That being said; I do intent on reviewing the pieces as a neutral in stead of a happy customer of items as the goal of this post is to inform and help you guys. Rating everything 9/10 or 10/10 will absolutely not help you guys. If I do miss something (crucial), please do not shy away from commenting on that piece. If I agree with your take, I will take my time to adjust the review to be as close to the actual truth as possible. ​ If you are a current CSSbuy customer and would like to purchase the item while also supporting me, that's possible now. CSSbuy has referral links of the items I bought (you can do this as well and with every purchase made through that referral link you get a small percentage.) ​ ​ ​ Goyard Passport Holder | New Black | ¥68.00 |~€8.70 | One Size | 176g CSS link |W2C | WAREHOUSE | FIT | IN HAND Review: Basically the cousin of the r/FashionReps staple. I have a cardholder in the same color which I absolutely love. Therefore I decided to go with the passport cover as well as it is always a good idea to have some extra protection for your passport. It makes the passport a bit more 'hidden' for those that don't need to see the location the bright red EU passport if they ever want to have a glance at your bag's inventory. The quality of the piece is the same as the cardholder, so I assume this will be able to last for years. It passes the smell test and it smells actually quite nice and not the standard Chinese toxic factory smell one could expect with plastic-leathery items. Is the print good? I don't know, I have never seen or had a retail piece of this item in hand. It's a damn passport cover, I don't expect people to legit check it. I just want a passport cover and this will do the job fine. Final grade: 7.5/10. Like I said, I have never had a retail pair for comparison but I refuse to believe that this piece is either 1:1 print wise or the durability of a real pair. Would love to hear someone out who actually has the real deal though. It's a passport cover, it'll do the job with the 3-4 uses of it every year. ​ ​ ​ Rhude Nylon Logo Shorts| Metallic Silver | ¥90.00 |~€11.50 | Large | 425g CSS link |W2C | WAREHOUSE | FIT | IN HAND Review: I don't really know how to feel this piece. I did too little research into the item and thought the nylon material would be more like the Stone Island swim shorts that are more familiar to me. However the nylon is super thick and it sort of feels like I'm wearing a thick trash-bag kind of material. It makes noise when walking in it because of the wrinkling and it pretty heavy too. If that's how it is supposed to be then it is actually a pretty decent quality item. The inside netting is very light, not irritating on the skin and as you can see in the pictures the 3M material is really (and I mean reaaaaly) reflective. Final grade: 6.5/10. Perhaps there's some bias in here because I'm not completely sold on the material yet. I will need to wear it a couple of times to see how good it is in the water. ​ ​ ​ Rhude McLaren Pique Rhacer Short| Creme | ¥110.00 |~€14.10 | Large | 448g CSS link |W2C | WAREHOUSE | FIT | IN HAND Review: No words for it, I love this item. The pique material makes it different from any other regular Essentials or EE short we see in this sub. It's super breathable without it immediately showing the rep Louis Vuitton underwear you wear underneath it. The length of these shorts is a big plus to me as I prefer shorts that have a bit of a shorter length. The threading of the Rhude McLaren logo is really solid as well but nothing amazing either. On the inside there are a couple loose threads on said logos but as the son of someone who makes clothes as a profession I know this isn't anything scary. There is 1 thread on the outside I am a bit more worried of, but as long as I just use a proper fabrics scissors (which there are plenty of here) I should be able to cut it off safely. I haven't spoken about the creme color yet but I'll keep it short (pun intended): This cream color will be able to go superhard with my Patta Air Max 1's (yes, I do have the full set) so expect some styleboards that includes these badboy shorts. The laces are super good too as well as the Rhude studs on the end of it. It's heavy, there are no flaws on the metal logo. Final grade: 8.5/10. Not really some massive remarks. The fabric is nice and refreshing, the quality is alright, it's a cool looking item that I can mix and match with a lot of items but also representative on its own. It's basically a perfect eye-catcher without being tacky (looking at you EE shorts). ​ I also have to give a shoutout to this seller. The store of this seller is actually looking insane and has a TON of hidden gems laying around by the looks of it for an absolute steal of a price. ​ ​ ​ Fear of God Essentials reflective backprint t-shirt| Black| ¥50.00 |~€6.40 | Medium | 312g CSS link |W2C | WAREHOUSE | FIT | IN HAND Review: Just like most Essentials pieces it's important to pay good attention to the sizing. I like oversized/loose fit, but it shouldn't be too boxy either. Therefore I decided to size down on the item. As you can see on the fit pics it fits absolutely perfect on my massive shoulders on the torso of this 1.85 tall young Greek demigod. The 3m on this shirt works like a charm and the print doesn't feel too cheap either, this will definitely last a lot of washes. The material of the shirt itself is very good too. It's not thin at all, but also not too thick that it is almost unwearable on a hot summer day. A good IRL friend of mine has this tee as a retail piece and we'll definitely compare them soon so if you want an update on that please let me know and be patient. The stitching of this piece is great as well, even around the tougher pieces of a fabric like corners and twists. I haven't spotted any badly sewed or loose threads yet. Another thing I like about this tee is that the front basically is just a blank. Therefore you can easily use this as a base layer for a more layered outfit by adding a centerpiece shirt over it without drawing the attention away from it with a chest print. Final grade: 8.5/10. The price is a factor in this final grade as I genuinely think it's very hard to find a great quality tee like this for a comparable price somewhere. If you go to the resellers you'll probably get a cheaper blank, worse/more inconsistent print or badly sewed pieces. This also cuts out the middleman and it wouldn't surprise me if this seller is one of the sources for your average middleman. ​ ​ ​ Represent Owners Club t-shirt| Racing Green| ¥50.00 |~€6.40 | Medium | 391g CSS link |W2C | WAREHOUSE | FIT | IN HAND Review: Represent has slowly solidifying its place as one of the Fashionreps staples and I can totally understand why. The quality of this tee is super fucking good. The fabric is thicker than its Essentials counterpart, the collar is thicker (most collars are about 2cm thick, these are at least a centimeter thicker) which makes it quite the eyecatcher. The colors Represent provides are stunning as well. I went for the racing green color, but I've seen the blue color being an absolute beauty and so is the brown. It's from the same seller as the Essentials tee above and the price of this tee is an absolute bargain. I know a lot of Freps kids nowadays just want cheap items and 10/10 it even though the quality is dogshit, but they want it because its cheap. This tee is not only great quality, but absolutely cheap as well due to it being most likely from a bulk seller. Seriously, cut out your Fashionreps paid promoted middlemen and find the good sellers on 1688. You'll get more bang for your buck and this tee is the representation (also pun intended) of that. The fitting is perfect for my oversized/loose preferential. The sleeves are longer than the Essentials tee which highlights the fitting a bit more. While you could get away with the Essentials tee as a gym tee (I can't, I'm a sweaty motherfucker), this tee will not do the job for that so keep that in mind unless you want to ruin the color with your sweat, spit and caffeine overdosed and actual good preworkout components underdosed. On the in hand pics it looks like the backprint is undersized compared to retail but when wearing it it shows that the print is actually correctly placed and the proper size, so don't let that shy away from you. Final grade: 9.5/10. Extreme personal bias warning but I think this is one of the best rep tees I have gotten in like 4-5 hauls now. I'm a massive sucker for British racing green, but if I have to look at it objectively it's still an amazing tee. The blank quality is great, the details are all very accurate (I'll NEVER say 1:1) and the stitch is nearly flawless as well. Get.This.Tee. ​ ​ ​ Off-White neutral backprint t-shirt| Mint Green| ¥160.00 |~€20.48 | Large| 391g CSS link |W2C | WAREHOUSE | FIT | IN HAND Review: I'm like 99.9% sure this is a fantasy t-shirt as the tag code doesn't match the tee (it links to a navy colored shirt with a different print) but I really like it anyways. The material feels very rigid/strong, it's a rather heavy t-shirt and I think the backprint is really cool as well as it's not really out there in your face. I do like Off-White as a brand, but I think more recent pieces are either a bit boring or way too tacky for me personally. I was doubting between the grey and the mint green one, but considering I already have quite a lot of neutrals I decided I wanted a more statement-like color and this mint green is perfect for that. The stitching is a bit more inconsistent than the previous tees (see pictures) but it's not bad by any means. It also has a rather weird cord running down on the back on the inside which I'm most likely gonna cut off unless someone can tell me if it actually has a use. Final grade: 7/10. Not sure how often I'll wear it as it's a quite vibrant color, but I'll definitely get enough use out of it to justify its 'bigger' price tag. ​ ​ ​ Balenciaga I love U t-shirt| Pink| ¥130.00 |~€16.65 | Medium| 354g CSS link |W2C | WAREHOUSE | FIT | IN HAND Review: Like the previous tee, I'm fairly sure this is somewhat of a fantasy piece. I say somewhat because the tee definitely exists, I'm just not 100% certain if this colorway exists as I have trouble finding it with my limited Google skills. I found this Balenciaga seller through the Dutch RepfamNL discord and I was absolutely baffled with the choices it gave me. If you want anything regarding Balenciaga, I can almost guarantee you that this seller has it. We all know the campaign and cringy ass Fortnite t-shirts by now. If you want an actual unique and cool Balenciaga shirt, have a look at this seller. Being this positive about the seller, the shirt surely is good right? Short answer: Yes. Longer answer: The material of the t-shirt is thick as you'd expect with most Balenciaga pieces. I don't own any retail Balenciaga myself, or even a Balenciaga rep up until now so I might not be the best judge of it. The previously before mentioned friend does have a lot of retail Balenciaga (he just completed his first haul though so I highly doubt he'll keep spending paychecks on real Balenciaga) and having felt the material on that it indeed does appear to be very close to the real deal thickness wise. The inside stitching is absolutely a banger as well and I cannot find any inconsistencies in that. One thing that caught my eye in hand was that it appeared to have some cuts in the fabric around the collar and bottom, but I quickly realized that's a part of the design and I kind of fuck with that. It gives the shirt some much needed depth while not being an instant eyecatcher. Once people notice they'll definitely notice though. The print is pretty complicated as it has that paintbrush style, but comparing pictures of a white I

We find ourselves living in a new normal, permanently working from home. This domestic setting means any kind of formal dressing feels stiff. Equally, I don’t want to wear sweatpants at all times (the delivery man is getting suspicious). Enter the relaxed trouser. I tried out 13 different pairs of relaxed slacks over a number of weeks. The Gramicci Gramicci Pants came out on top with their comfortable fit, versatile styling, extensive colourways and functional details. I also like the premium feeling and cosy Albam Ripstop Drawstring Trouser, and the great value of the Community Clothing Men’s Cotton Chino. Best overall Gramicci G Pant A versatile, comfortable, and affordable pair of trousers with a diamond gusseted crotch, and built in nylon belt. Its understated look and traditional cotton twill fabric belies is outdoor Japanese lineage. $90 Gramicci was a brand started in the early ​’80s by a young climber named Mike Graham — the name was an Italian spin on his surname. Their early products were a pair of shorts and pants with some unique features, notably a diamond shaped crotch gusset to allow for movement, and a built in nylon belt for tightening or loosening the waist. It was a brilliant and widely copied innovation, and most outdoors companies have had a stab at it, but the Gramicci G‑Pant is the original and it remains a great pant. Like any great piece of work or sportswear, the G‑Pant has the edge of being designed for function and feels both solidly built and extremely comfortable. It also comes in a dizzying array of colours and variants due to its rebirth as a Japanese based clothing brand rather than the more functional and anti-fashion approach of a traditional outdoors brand. The pricing is reasonable at £75 pounds a pair and it’s widely available in a huge range of colours and fabrics. What I love most about it is its flexibility. The fabric is a fairly traditional twill so you can wear it like you would a smart pair of chinos but the nylon belted waist is and gusset crotch means it has the utility and comfort of a pair of sweats, and the minimal technical details means it’s just as good paired with a contemporary trainer and oversized sweatshirt. In fact, I wish I’d known about these when I was a 16 year old skater as I would gone crazy over the tapered/​relaxed fit and comfortable, worn in fabric. It beats the hell out of the insanely stiff Dickies or Carhartts that we were wearing. Downsides My only issues in terms of the product itself was sizing. Presumably because they serve primarily the Japanese market, the G‑Pants come up small and I would definitely size up if you’re in between sizes. In transparency terms I could also find nothing to help me figure out the brands environmental or production credentials. This isn’t uncommon for a Japanese brand unfortunately, but it would be nice to see some basic information for customers attempting to make an ethics driven purchase. Also good Albam Ripstop Drawstring Trouser A premium feeling and supremely comfortable pair of pants available in some beautiful colourways. A visible drawstring detracts from an otherwise great garment. $99 The Albam Ripstop Drawstring Trouser has a fantastic loose, tapered fit with a premium feeling washed ripstop fabric (the sort of gridded fabric used for some military garments). With a small crop and and easy waist, I felt like I was wearing a pair of pyjamas. It was also on the more affordable end of the premium market at just under £100. That extra money buys you a notably better finish than the top pick, the Gramicci Pant and European production. The deep indigo blue, forest green and pastel shade colourways are also genuinely unique. The big downside for me was the visible drawstring in a contrasting ecru, which gave the trousers a slightly crunchy/​hippieish look that was at odds with the finish and shape. I think they were going for 70s sportswear. I can’t help but wish they’d gone for a more technical drawstring or kept it internal for a cleaner finish. The latest versions of the style by the brand have done exactly this and I look forward to trying them out, especially in the wool fabrics of their AW20 collection. Budget pick Community Clothing Men's Cotton Chino A shockingly good price nets a very high quality and sharp looking pair of trousers. Made in UK heritage mill Brisbane Moss but the nature of Community Clothing means availability can be an issue. £59 This is a great trouser, at an incredible price. £59 gets you a product made in the UK, in a quality British cotton drill, from heritage UK mill Brisbane Moss. It feels like something you could easily sell for twice the price. The fit is fantastic, with deep, flattering pleats, a loose shape, and a gentle taper from the knee. What I love is the versatility of it. If your style leans classic, it would look great with a shirt tucked in or a piece of lightweight knitwear and some leather boots or derbies. If you’re more contemporary or streetwear orientated, with the cuff rolled up and pair of vans or converse and an oversized t‑shirt, you’ve got the perfect pair of kick around trousers. They also don’t have a drawstring so they are probably the easiest to smarten up of our top picks. The downside? Well, basically they are hard to get. The brand produces them in 3 colour-ways (olive green, navy and a light tan which we tested) but they only make them when there is downtime in their factory — the brand is part of an initiative by designer Patrick Grant to keep factories operating between fashion collections. This and disruption from the coronavirus pandemic means that they’ve only been available in a very limited run of colours since the beginning of our review period, several months ago. Representatives of Community Clothing say that the sizes will be restocked soon. Basically, if you can get ahold of them, these are great value for money and were a strong contender for our top pick. What to look for Availability: We wanted to make sure that I could find something that would be available year round. Range of colours: We wanted a trouser that was available in a decent range of neutral colours, in order to work as a wardrobe staple. Fabric: For our relaxed trouser, fabric was key. How it held up to being worn around the house and how it felt sitting long hours at a desk was essential. This meant primarily cotton in hardwearing qualities like twill and drill. These had to be easy to wear, clean and ideally get better with age. Fit: Relaxed essentially, but what does that mean? Well in practice we tried everything from cropped and tapered high waisted trousers to pleated, drawstring and hybrids of both in our hunt for the most comfortable WFH fit. The fits would mostly be somewhere between straight and an easy taper. Versatility: We wanted a trouser that could do smart in a pinch but didn’t seem stiff when paired with a sweatshirt or a hoody. Easy Care: The best pair of relaxed trousers had to be ones we were comfortable getting dirty in, whether cooking, putting out the trash or doing basic DIY, we didn’t want them to feel precious. Price: We figured that to be a staple you had to be able to afford multiple pairs. The price should probably sit somewhere between £50-£150 max. The competition The Studio Nicholson Bill Pant is a premium take on a straight leg work pant, and at £220 topped out our selection of trousers. You could feel the quality in the fabric, finish and moleskin-like brushed fabric, but the high waist tends to dig in a little if you sit in them for a long stretch and the fabric is a bit on the fussy side for an everyday trouser. I was excited by the Garbstore Work Easy Pant. The brands AW20 collection has some ace looking fabrics and this drawstring work pant in a Japanese cordura fabric looked really interesting. The finishing and quality of the trouser were good but I’m not sure they justified the price tag and fit-wise they came up surprisingly tight/slim for this kind of style. Expensive for what it is. The Oliver Spencer Judo Pant is a mainstay of the brand. They are well made in a brushed organic cotton, and manufactured ethically in Portugal. They almost made it as a top pick and I was really torn over including it alongside the Albam pant. But with a more tailored appearance and high waist it felt a bit too neat for this category and £50 more expensive than the Albam style. The Oliver Spencer Workers Trouser are similarly well made as their Judo Pant brothers, but were a bit of a disappointment. In the words of my wife “it isn’t sure what it wants to be” and I think that’s about right. It has a military style cargo pocket, loose straight leg and drawstring waist which are in theory great but feel like a lot going on when you are wearing them. The Universal Works Baker Pant is a long running style by the brand and I was really happy with them. A smart drill fabric, high waist and loose curved hem meant that they felt much more like a tailored trouser than a casual chino. That said they are great quality for the price and a good option if your looking for a smarter relaxed trouser. The Entireworld Cotton Pleated Trouser (Type B, Version 2) was a disappointment from a brand I really love in theory. The fit was surprisingly slim for pleated pants, and I’m not sure the welted pockets on the front or flaps on the back pockets really worked with this kind of style. I was fan of the almost oxford style Japanese fabric that the trouser was made of but on the whole it felt like a timid take on a pleated trouser. If you’re still in slim styles and are looking to branch out this might be a gateway style for you but I can’t help but wish they’d been a bit more daring with it. The Stan Ray OG Painter Pant is exactly that, a faithful take on the US workwear style, done in a coarse off-white raw cotton material and made to last with triple stitched seams. It felt authentic, stiff and not particularly comfortable. I really like how it draped through the leg. I would 100% size up on this style and it took time to break in. Cool but at £80 feels steep for such a basic utility garment. Filippa K’s Toby Trouser is their minimal Scandinavian take on the relaxed trouser and I really really liked it. It was made of a nice mid-weight twill in a wolf grey colourway. The neat flat front with a fly is a nice touch on a drawstring trouser and it felt like a versatile item. It's especially good value at £65 and the brand has some great sustainability credibility, showing the factories that each garment was produced in. The Dickies 874 Work Pant is the original workwear trouser and…well it feels like it. I can’t believe I used to skate in these, they are so coarse and stiff to break in, and admittedly they feel great once you get there (though the stain proof fabric is pretty damn sweaty). They also feel indestructible and are pretty affordable at around £40 but I’m too old to have pants this uncomfortable. They also come up small with a high waist, so size up if unsure. The Uniqlo Vintage Chino is the brand’s loosest fitting, never out of stock item and it’s got a lot going for it. The brand has clearly aimed to get all the details of the classic mid-century American chino right and update them for the contemporary consumer. The fabric, the finishing on the inside of the trouser and details like the ticket pocket were really well executed. Shape wise though, this is more like a slim taper than a truly straight fitting chino and I see it as the perfect trouser for a guy who wants to loosen up but is scared off by pleats and drawstrings. Great value at £35. This is a new guide from Typical Contents, the “wirecutter for clothes”. It’s by the team behind Epochs, a now defunct menswear blog.

I've been reading past guides to see what could be updated and streamlined and thought to take a crack at a new Pants Guide. The previous one had a lot of prescriptive advice and touched on information I don't think is relevant or important. no offense, Nay, I know you specifically didn't write it Use this guide to help you figure out how you personally want your pants to fit. Everyone has different styles, inspirations, and goals, so it's hard to say what pants you need in your wardrobe. I don't own any duck canvas pants but maybe you love them. Maybe someone else likes cargo pants but another person thinks they're dumb. This isn't about what specific pants you should have in your wardrobe, but how to find pants that fit the way you like. As a home cook, I'm a big fan of "Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat" by Samin Nosrat. If you're familiar with her book, I hope you see some similarities in how I approach pants, which is basically that you have your own style, but here are some tools to help you understand, search for, and communicate your ideas better. __________________________________________________ Pant Diagrams and Pant Terms Before we get into details, take a look at these pant diagrams. These are from Uniqlo. Most clothing websites should have one of these, but this one is clean and simple. Keep these up as you read — specifically this one — and glance at them so you know what I'm talking about. I'm not going to define terms because it's all in these pictures already. Visual references are better than words. __________________________________________________ Pant Styles Skinny fit Skinny fit pants fit snug to the leg. They have a small leg opening ("Bottom Width" in our Uniqlo diagram) — somewhere between 5" and 7" across (12.5cm and 17.5cm). Most of the time, these are tapered. Examples. Slim fit Slim fit pants fit closer to the body than regular fit pants, but not as snug as skinny fit. They're the most popular, widely accepted style of pants at the moment. Their leg openings can vary between 6" and 7.5" (15.25cm and 19cm). Examples. Regular fit Regular fit pants don't hug the leg like skinny or slim fit pants, but they're not super big either. They're meant to fit over your legs comfortably, giving enough room for your body but not so much that they balloon out. Leg openings can be around 8" to 9" (20.25cm to 22.75cm). Examples. Wide fit Wide fit pants fit much looser than regular fit. They give more leg room for comfortability and breathability but they're most widely used for fun aesthetic purposes, i.e. playing with drape and silhouette. These leg openings can go from 9" to 11" (22.75cm to 28cm) — sometimes even more. Examples. __________________________________________________ Pant Cuts I've separated "Pant Style" from "Pant Cuts" because it's important to note that the "Cuts" listed below refer to the ratio of measurement between the (1) thigh or knee width and (2) the leg opening. Straight Straight cut pants are shaped so they shoot straight down from hip to thigh to leg opening. There's no varying leg measurements here — the legs are one circumference right down to the ankle. Examples. Tapered Tapered pants are shaped so they follow the form of the leg. They're one circumference at the thigh or knee and a smaller circumference at the ankle. The strength of the taper determines something conventional like this vs. something less conventional like a carrot cut. Examples. Bootcut Bootcut pants are cut to fit straight from hip to knee, but then widen out from the knee to bottom hem. Depending on the style, the upper block can fit slim or regular, and the strength of the bottom flare can vary as well. Examples. __________________________________________________ Pant Styles and Cuts Combining the different styles and cuts together provides different silhouettes for pants. Here are some examples: Skinny tapered and straight (most skinny jeans are tapered). Slim straight. Slim tapered. Regular straight. Regular tapered. Wide straight. Wide tapered. __________________________________________________ Pant Length Inseam vs. Outseam (or overall length) Again, check this diagram to see what "inseam" means. We generally use inseam as the default for pant leg measurement vs. using the outseam. Depending on a pant being low-rise or high-rise ("rise" is covered below), the outseam measurement will vary. The inseam will not. Pant Breaks Pant breaks describe how the fabric of your pants ends at your shoes. Here's a simple breakdown of pant breaks from Proper Cloth. Respectively, this shows a Full Break, Half Break, No Break, and Crop. I'm not going as detailed as Quarter Breaks vs. Half Breaks because these are casual pants and who cares. Sometimes you'll see internet shorthand for this as PSI, or pant-shoe interaction. Here are examples of pant breaks in real outfits: Full Break Half Break (or Quarter Break) No Break Cropped Rolling your pants For pants that are very long, a nice alternative to hemming is to give your pants a good roll (or two or three). Rolling your pants lets you easily play around with your breaks without having to visit a tailor or dry cleaner for hemming. Examples. Some other reasons for doing this: You like the look of thick, rolled cuffs and will specifically get longer pants to achieve this. You're too lazy to get your pants hemmed. You bought really fancy pants that you don't trust to get hemmed because it might ruin their intended shape. You might want to resell them later. You're too lazy to get your pants hemmed. You're wearing boots or hi-top shoes and want the whole shoe to be visible. Some days you like a full break on your pants, and some days you like a crop. "It's nice to have options," you tell yourself. You're too lazy to get your pants hemmed. What about if I'm short / tall / thicc / skinny? I can't really tell you what to do. I've seen too many examples of different body types pulling off all different kinds of pant lengths. This is where you take the information and experiment on your own. __________________________________________________ Pant Rise If you're still using our Uniqlo diagram, which you should be, this is the "Rising Length" measurement. The rise is the distance between the bottom of the crotch to the top of the waistband. Pant rise determines where the waistband sits on your body, which will determine your perceived waistline. This is useful for short and tall people, but it has nothing to do with your height and more to do with how your body is proportioned — basically the visual proportions of your torso vs. your legs. Low rise pants Low rise pants work great for people with shorter torsos and longer legs. Low rise pants will place the waistband low, around your hips. This will visually lengthen your torso in comparison to your legs. A lot of times, people don't tuck in their shirts so you can't see the waistband anyway, which gives the same illusion of an elongated torso. These will usually measure 7" to 8" (17.75cm to 20.25cm). Examples. (Some of these are just mid-rise worn low.) High rise pants High rise pants work great for people with longer torsos and shorter legs. High rise pants will place the waistband higher, generally around the proper "waist." This will visually lengthen your legs in comparison to your torso. These will usually measure 10" to 11" (25.5cm to 28cm), or more. Examples. (Likewise, some of these are just mid-rise worn higher by the waist.) In lieu of a more detailed section on pleats (which definitely deserves mention), here’s a note from u/KarateManN64: The only addition I can think of is that pleats tend to look better visually on higher rise pants. If they're lower than like 10.5" (26.75cm) then pleats tend to just be a bit too much visually and lack the space to really perform their function usefully. I also encourage everyone to play around with pleats, because I find they really help make pants more comfortable. The takeaway: Rise balances out your proportions. Figure out if you have a long torso or if you're long legged and play around with the appropriate rise. A fun takeaway: Use rise to play around with your proportions in weird ways. If you already have long legs and want to look like you have even longer legs, try high rise pants anyway. Vice versa with a long torso and low rise. A confession: Pant rise is the last thing I look at when it comes to pants because I suck. __________________________________________________ Pant Waist This one is simple. Just measure the circumference of your body where you usually wear your pants and look for the garment size that matches this measurement. This is also affected by the pants' rise, so if you're looking at high rise pants, know your true waist measurement. If you're looking at low rise pants, know your hip measurement. This does not mean look for the tagged waist size. I mean look for numbered measurements in centimeters or inches. Do not trust tagged waist size. Do not trust tagged waist size. Do not trust tagged waist size. Vanity sizing is real and shitty. Use measurements. __________________________________________________ Buying New Pants Cool, we have all this information. Now what? You need a frame of reference to understand what this new information means. This frame of reference will be a pair of pants you already own. So go grab a pair of pants from your closet — ideally your favorite pair of pants. If you don't love any of your pants, just grab any pair of pants. Now take out that piece of shit Uniqlo diagram again and some measuring tape. If you don't have measuring tape — because let's face it, most of us don't — go find a ruler, which will work just as well. I know you have a ruler somewhere. If you don't have any of that, there's an app on the iPhone called "Measure" (which is a default Apple app) that can take pretty accurate measurements of items. I'm not going to walk you through how to use the app, it's pretty straightforward. Now we have our Uniqlo diagram, a measuring tool, and a pair of pants, yes? Grab your pants and take measurements of the following: Waist Rise Inseam Leg opening Now you know what your pant measurements are. Use these numbers to compare against the measurements on various clothing websites. If you used a shitty pair of pants you hate, try to figure out why. Is the waist too small? Is the rise too low? Are the legs too short? Does it not taper enough? Use these questions to help you determine what measurements you think will work in a new pair of pants and experiment. This is important and the only way you'll figure out what pants will work best for you. __________________________________________________ Less Important Details for a Beginner's Guide Here are some things I feel beginners can safely ignore, until they really truly understand the above topics: Drape and weight This is probably one of the most important aspects I look at when it comes to pants as a hobbyist. Although they’re very important details for someone to know, I don’t think they’re necessary to understand at the beginner level, but definitely one of the next steps afterwards. Material and Texture Most mens pants are going to be some form of cotton or wool. I'm not gonna go on listing different kinds of pants because there's a whole world of different materials, but none of that matters if you don't understand how you like your pants to fit. Textures are really cool to play with but not something you really need a guide for. I think basic inspo albums and quick descriptions are good but second only to experiencing and touching different materials. On that note, here's a bunch of inspo albums for different pants to check out: Work Pants Wool Trousers Fatigues Fun Pants Cargo Pants White Pants Construction Most stores will give you good enough construction quality. Yes, H&M's construction is fine. Pants at fast fashion stores can last you for years if you size them correctly and you're just doing general daily tasks in them. Emotional durability is a different story and probably the real reason you hate your fast fashion chinos. I really couldn't tell you the details of how my own pants are constructed. Honestly it's not that important to me. I do my research based on the designer / brand, their skills, their material sourcing, etc. and trust that the construction quality is there. Color Color is really not that important vs. understanding fit and shape. I hate talking about color because it's the last thing you should worry about if you don't know how to get a fit you like. i.e. Too many people wearing weird color chinos with horrible fits. Pocket Styles 5-pocket, cargo, side pockets, a million EG pockets. They're pockets. Buy what you like, what else can I say. __________________________________________________ This is obviously not written in stone, so if you see anything you think should be changed or updated, let me know!

Background, I work ICU and ER and have worn Carhartt scrubs since graduating. In the past year and a half I have ripped holes in the crotch of at least 6 pairs of their scrub pants. I’m a bigger guy and the pants fit their tightest across the crotch and trochanteric area. Going up a size makes them way too big everywhere else. I’m in a rural area so it’s impossible for me to try any other brands without traveling, so looking for recommendations before I do. I just want them to fit and last longer than a few weeks. It’s also a must that they breathe a little since I’m constantly on the go. I’m also considering going to cargo pants for durability. Anyone else wear those? submitted by /u/roadhouse_RN to r/nursing [link] [comments]
