Fashion in Animation - Topic of the day 3/28/25
Internet pitstop video on this is pretty fun, I don’t always bite on his stuff esp when he kinda just keeps saying the same words about each thing he likes but he’s a fashion understander and jjba/nana/yyh/dbz/sailor moon/bleach are all anime with above average levels of putting shit on

Winter in Review - Topic of the day 3/12/25
I wore big puma coat basically every time I left the house, and felt it kind of warp how I dress really noticeably in a way I really enjoyed

Minimalism vs Maximalism - Topic of the day 3/10/25
Hardly a well formed thought here but an outfit intentionally zeroing out color and texture to focus entirely on silhouette is being more honest about what minimalism is and can be than the capsule wardrobe stuff imo. At some point minimalism got construed as a philosophical category rather than an aesthetic one and treated as sort of coterminous with an ethical consumption, and that feels kinda like an unforced error on both fashion and ethics fronts lol. Most “minimalist” fashion/gear/whatever content online is just self-congratulatory overconsumption anyways

Switchbacks/zip-offs
There are people who are as big geeks about that as there are about milsurp so I'm sure info about production years/styles/whatever is out there

Switchbacks/zip-offs
As a boy scout dropout I do have a soft spot for the BSA pants - for a time, the switchbacks were a cotton/poly blend that feels kinda similar to OG-507s. It seems they still sell that style for womens pants but you might need to hop on ebay to find them in mens sizes

Retired Numbers (Clothes) - Topic of the day 2/24/25
I guess to use extremes to illustrate it, the t shirt from the pogues show my dad took me to when I was 11 is one of the most emotionally important things I own even if it’s like a small at most, but I’ve jettisoned several pairs of raws that I could still wear when I realized I just didn’t freak with raw denim like that

Retired Numbers (Clothes) - Topic of the day 2/24/25
This feels like there’s two different kinds of retired - i hang on to a lot of stuff I’ve outgrown but otherwise like, and am really quick to dump stuff that fits me but I don’t like anymore

How often do you wash your clothes?
I think I generally wash most button up shirts after every wear, but I'll stretch to two or three if I wear it over something else

How often do you wash your clothes?
I'm very sparing on washing my pants tbh, anything cotton is whenever I remember and anything wool is less than that (usually they don't even get washed, they go in with the dry cleaning at the end of sweater season)

Are solovairs actually better than doc martens?
To be clear I’ve absolutely smoked a few docs soles in my time but by the time I did the uppers looked so fucked I would not have felt okay wearing them to do anything other than get tanked

Are solovairs actually better than doc martens?
Fundamentally none of this matters because either the leather uppers or your interest in wearing the shoes will deteriorate before the soles do, at the price range docs/solovairs/other $150-$300 boots sit at GYW/shanks/etc is a marketing term speaking to gear culture/bifl obsessions with longevity more than it is a desirable feature

Are solovairs actually better than doc martens?
Both are technically goodyear welted but done weirdly, the thing boot nerds make a lot of bones about in this case is that solovairs have a shank (a rigid supportive spine running between sole layers) while docs do not

Are solovairs actually better than doc martens?
Solovairs are ostensibly able to be resoled and have some rose anvil word soup buzzwords that docs don’t but I think any actual meaningful longevity/comfort gains come nearly entirely from the greasy leather uppers, which you can get with docs too
