Thank you very much, that was hilarious. Was this guy an affiliate vendor? That's much better than what Gianni or Archibald of London have achieve to do.

 

[Thruth]

Sounds like fun, what is that story about?

A SF member with a Korean leather jacket factory that ended up failing with tons of SF members not getting their jackets. A fully, completely shit show. You need to read it to see the love fade and anger rise. It was discussed big time here.

Yup. Big on the SWD side. He was a darling with SWD all over the interwebz, not just SF. He sold for an number of years before it all collapsed. Started in 2009 and the meltdown started in earnest in 2013. Jackets were excellent value for the money. Some decent designs. Good leather. Good workmanship. Did a really nice wool fishtail parka too.

Would you be able to provide a link to that. I always miss these types of things.

I could not find it on SF. There is a blog post posted above that outlines the story. It is discussed a bunch in our thread found here:

Temple Of Pawns: The Story Of Temple Of Jawnz & The Morons On StyleForum Who Were Ripped Off

Throwing this up in case Fok decides to censor the whole thing

I think he was. The SF thread was something else, but I can't find it either so it's probably hidden. The evolution of the spreadsheet has to be a first of some kind.

 

[Grand Potentate]

Any link to that thread or has it been memory holed from the SF?

we've got you covered:

Someone at S.F finally admitted it. This thread has lots of potential and is well overdue.

Pacing back and forth and taking 50 photos of one fit and then obsessing about it to the point of being unable to do anything else that day is an activity I've done.

and

I'd see some awesome guys on here wearing something great and without fail, that item would become an obsession.

Mental Health and Clothing

I've debated making this thread for a while, hopefully something useful comes out of it. Trying to create a jumping off point for mental health discussion and its potential intersection with clothing. My own issues. In the past, I'd just pretend I didn't have any issues, nor did I have...

they are all woke. Such a sad group of characters, they look so lost. Look at the face of the one bottom to the left...says it all.

Has nothing to do with 'woke' (or whatever that means today) tbh. These sick-looking freaks have existed in fashion for a century.

I have been reading since time ago that "woke " word, but the only WOK I do know is where the owner of the other unforum works daily, Wok laqued duck home deliver

The integrated psychopath of Fok was involved as investor or % taker of those garments, he planned a huge profit. He deleted everything about it as delinquents clean the crime scene.

His forum is only about scamming people ( and always with awful, low class and tacky garments) and taking profit out of it, as with the famous faker tie maker of the "ancient vintage fabrics" so vintage that were made on the newest models of ink jet printers , Gianni Cerruti, I expossed as fraud 9 years ago.

He never banned that scammer, but banned most of the expossers, accomplice of criminal conduct as the psychopath he really is. Stay out of crime my friends.

Navy Hopsack Suit?

What do you think? Possible? Too casual for a full suit? I think it may work well especially for spring. Fresco is a similar weave, maybe not as open, and that works for suiting....ideas?

www.styleforum.net

That whole fucking thread is just a perfect illustration of the kind of morons that can be found on the internet.


A user wants a suit, is thinking about navy hopsack. People with experience (Vox, Boehlke) drop in and say: good choice, will be useful, choose a good
English cloth.

In theory, the thread should be finished.

Then FNB drops in:

If you meant "subtle" then wearing hopsack for a suit is a good way to subtly place oneself as a sanitation worker wearing his Sunday best.

And the whole thread devolves into a rather pointless discussion about social classes in America and the connotations of clothes.

Don't you mean 'could be found'? That thread is from 2009.

 

[kneeshuh]

could be found

True, but since the amount of internet users constantly increases, I'd say that "can be found" ist also acceptable. The morons of today might not be the morons of yesteryear, but they're still morons.

 

[belinmad]

So wait, what do I do with my navy hopsack suits then?

You can be ecofriendly and recycle the hopsack as this:

I mean it's a thread started by NYR. It was fucking retarded from the get go.

What I don't understand is why something like that was worth its own damn thread.
If you want a more casual navy suit, just ask your tailor/salesman what he recommends and you're done. No need to ask a forum such a mundane question, IMO.

I realise that this does rely on there being a somewhat competent tailor/clothier in your vicinity, but the OP is in New York. If he cannot find someone able to advise him there, it's his own fault.

So wait, what do I do with my navy hopsack suits then?

I kinda like the top middle one, bang on for summer. The boots are overkill though.

Covid's Opening Act Was Summer Fridays - Ivy Style

This is my day today, started at 3:15, did the pages (I write three handwritten pages every morning, first thing – you know how you dump out the old grinds before you make new coffee, some of them hug the sides of the filter because it is wet and you have to rinse the filter ...

Yes. Coffee grinding, fountain pens and then Ivy shorts and shirts.

Ivy shorts were issued when I joined the police in the 70s, a lot of forces had them. You choice of outerwear was a double breasted gaberdine coat with a button-in liner or the shorts which was generally preferred as they open fly fronted and presented a cleaner look, it was also genuinely waterproof. You also got a cape which was very warm, but no good if you had to fight anyone, also kids shouted ‘Batman’ at you from a safe distance.

I have a friend who, back in 1978, was having his shorts made to measure. He still has the shirts tucked in his garden shed.

Unfortunately he's not mad for ivy clothing. Although unusually for IS there are actually some ivy clothing references and images in that article.

As always, the comments section wins

Those 3 comments appear to be someone taking the piss out of 3 Talk Ivy posters. Any ridiculousness on TI is dwarfed in comparison to what IS has descended to, however if he'd spoken about IS in anything less than complimentary terms the comments would have been deleted, so I suppose it's the only option.
