Got no idea, grip isn't weak. Was shrugging 120kg for reps double overhand today with no straps and I can deadlift like 190kg now. I think its because I have very large hands, so I don't need to make an effort to really squeeze the bar and I can just let it wrest on my finger tips instead.

i want to be you when i grow up :inlove:what docs? did you paint the sole black?is this ringjacket?


hahah, you mean a raffish slacker with a clothing obsession? ;-) docs are the jeffrey model. they have a slimmer profile than the 1460s and no yellow stitching. the sole is still that neutral semi transparent rubber. i think they just look black. and yeah, that's the same ring jacket. japanese co. makes southern italian-esque suits often with weird fabrics. more about it here. run it thru google translator for japanglish explanation. I guess it's a mohair-flannel, but it has that same wrinkly, bubbly quality of boiling. it's also unfortunately kinda itchy-n-skratchy.

I know Parker has a lot of SW&D cred but I don't think that suit looks good. I feel like the belt almost hitting the button is really throwing things off. The pants should be lowered a bit.


I agree with you.. pants are riding too high in the photo. This is not my fave suit, I prefer a lower rise and slimmer cut. Or else super loose. This is sort of an in-betweener silhouette.

cdhagg - you're doing pretty damn good.
pretty damn good if you're trying to look like generic meterosexual guy. what exactly are you trying to go for?

Sag your jeans and throw those boots in the trash, I'm tired of seeing them.
And if you're going to wear a button up with jeans, make it an oxford or something, not so dressy. Top and bottom halves are incongruent

Thanks for the comments everyone.

I didn't really think of the versace-esque shiny shirt as "dressy," but maybe I'll have to rethink where I can use the shirt.

Aether: I don't really know where I'm going with this. I think I have some vague idea of how I want to dress, with words like "sleek" and "sexy" attached. Maybe I've been reading too much GQ, or watching too many Armani runway shows.

you should start by looking at street style pictures to supplement your consumption of GQ/mass-market-magazine-style. this will help you see how people have styled their fits and may give you some additional inspiration. a lot of GQ styling is sorta formulaic...

i think you're doing pretty good in terms of the way the clothing fits, but you need to work on dat styling.

Sleek and sexy sounds pretty gay to me.

Am I doing it right?

If you are trying to do the GQ thing, you are not doing it right.

Ah true, that's certainly heavier than what I can do. Probably just genetics.

He just needs different pants. Some dark grey/black chinos or cotton/wool blend trousers or even waxed black denim and he'd nail the "look" which is super gay no doubt, but like, whatever.

This is how like 60% of the gay dudes at my gym dress. The other 40% wear mostly Diesel and G Star raw.
