I have no idea how warm that jacket is but even a medium weight jacket over a SS t-shirt feels like overkill half the winter down here. I went on a long walk outside in a thick long sleeve T the other day, and it was too hot. It snowed the day before lol.

Wool is itchy af, and I do like the design. I assumed the URL would just minimize for the thumbnail. Discord should get on that.

Anyone have any experience with Quince? I see a ton of red flags based on ad bombardment and traditional retail price crossed out, but the 100% cotton on this polo has me interested.

Three threads with good recs from the past year. Check out what pants those companies offer and what speaks to you. A lot of those brands are $$$$$, so people here can also point you to similar looks for less if you find specific things you like.

Chamath is singlehandedly the one who started what eventually got us to Hawk Tuah marketing shitcoins

He is a blatant fraudster & con man, and him getting away with it emboldened others to do the same. Have been on calls marketing his SPACs where they didnt even pretend the company had a chance to make money. It was literally all about how much hype the celebrities they had on the management team could generate with retail investors once it was publicly traded. That people couldn't see through his & Elon's facade of bullshit has driven me crazy for ages. I wish I hadn't been proven so correct on Elon.

Also, are finance bros under 40 still actually wearing these things? It feels like it is past its prime even in that circle.

I like knit/sweater polos and have one pique polo I like. I love thick slightly oversized long sleeve polos & rugby shirts in natural materials for casual wear. I am with the consensus that 99% of quarter zips are a no go. I have a soft spot for crazy colored Patagonia synchilla style fleeces though. I wear a synthetic golf polo 2-3x/year when I golf, and I am fine looking like a frumpy dad during the most fuddy duddy activity in the world.

Do you own any wide leg pants? You may want to start with a cheaper pair and see if it works for you. I think wide leg can work with all body types, but what matters is if you like them.

For Texas specific recs: I just bought some Freenote Cloth deck pants on sale at Manready in Houston. Imogene and Willie is based in Austin, and I love the fatigues I have from there. Stag Provisions in Dallas has a lot of Workwear/Western inspired stuff you might like.
