    Random Shipping Thoughts: Why do online stores ship USPS, UPS. Fedex, DHL, EMS, etc.... - advantages and drawbacks

    Very true. It's all just a business proposition. The private brokers make it easier for small companies to ship internationally at the cost of the customers. The Federal shippers give terrible service but are often cheaper, or more fair, to the end consumer. Every company can make their own...

    Random Shipping Thoughts: Why do online stores ship USPS, UPS. Fedex, DHL, EMS, etc.... - advantages and drawbacks

    I work for Canada Post. Not in any special position or anything. I know the service is bad. I know USPS is the same, for mostly the same reasons. Politics aside, this is why Canadians in the know still want USPS, which will convert to Canada Post at the border: 1) A known duty processing fee...

    Leather Jackets: Post Pictures of the Best You've Seen/Owned?

    I appreciate it but I think I'm cool with the length. I just never wear untucked shirts anymore but I think this is a normal place for them to fall. The jacket is so cool it made me go back to a moustache.

    Leather Jackets: Post Pictures of the Best You've Seen/Owned?

    I would love to have a leather tailor I could trust but I've been burned twice in the past. In my city I can't trust a tailor to work with leather or a leather worker to tailor. I tried it both ways and massacred two 5-Zips in my early fashion journey. One, funnily enough, in blue horse. I'm...

    Leather Jackets: Post Pictures of the Best You've Seen/Owned?

    I just bought my first higher end leather jacket at retail price. Big step. Really opens up the question of what's perfect for you. There were 4 different jackets that were all technically perfect that I was eyeing but I settled on the The Shop Vancouver collab with Y'2. I realize this is...

    The Official RRL Thread

    I only know RRL by name. Is any of this stuff actually made in the USA? Is there something to look for to find the first world made stuff? Just curious. I did try a couple waffle knits and have to say the fit is excellent. Not too long and not too boxy. The sweater and henley are a slightly...

    Random Fashion Thoughts (Part 3: Style farmer strikes back) - our general discussion thread

    I think hats are the single hardest piece of traditional men's fashion to pull off. There's so many bad vibes associated with wide brim hats and the infrastructure of life in general is not hat friendly anymore. That said, I wear wide brim hats every time I go outside during the day and haven't...

    Random Fashion Thoughts (Part 3: Style farmer strikes back) - our general discussion thread

    I'm never mean to anyone and, at least online, I'm not going to be critical of anyone. In terms of people being tongue in cheek or lightly critical of choices on a fashion forum regarding fashion I think there's some room to breathe there. It's just got to be done in good humour. If we're...

    Random Fashion Thoughts (Part 3: Style farmer strikes back) - our general discussion thread

    Fashion has got to be a bastion outside of social acceptance. Caveat: I hate philosophical talk. The consequences are zero. Most people here never had parents or a social circle that cared about what they wore. They need experience and experimentation and people going too easy on them only...

    Poor man's watch thread

    I already have it in steel but Brew is doing the Metric in gold colour. That's a ton of fun for $500.

    Leather Jackets: Post Pictures of the Best You've Seen/Owned?

    There's zero tennis ball room, unfortunately. I sized for the fit I wanted in the torso and I just got to deal with the chest. It's fine; but if you gave me another inch I'd take it. The experimental aesthetic theory is what if the vest IS the outerwear? Mostly people want to wear a vest over...

    Leather Jackets: Post Pictures of the Best You've Seen/Owned?

    You're not wrong. I have to wear a safety vest at work and it's given me a deep distaste for baggy vests. I'm still stitching up an original disposable one from 2020 since they switched to a new longer style with armholes so big it catches on equipment. So I'm not telling anyone else to try...

    Leather Jackets: Post Pictures of the Best You've Seen/Owned?

    Didn't go for the leather pants. Yet. But wanted to try something new and to try out Y'2 leather AND wanted to support The Shop Vancouver since it blows my mind that any Canadian city can support a men's fashion brick and mortar, with how people dress here. So of course that leads us to the...

    Leather Jackets: Post Pictures of the Best You've Seen/Owned?

    Cool. I was looking at a Y-2 pair myself, in camel. Seems like it's got a fit similar to the jeans I already wear and isn't tight. What's your thoughts on the waist sizing? The site I'm looking at says a size 32 is only a 30.5 inch true waist. Is that possible? I want a real 32" waist. Also...

    Has anyone ever successfully done leather pants? I've been tempted lately.
