My Platonic Love For Navy Suits - ALBOR/SaD

After a decade of writing about menswear for fun, i finally decided to talk about Navy Suits. The article covers both what many people have already said with a bit of my own weird philosophy on wearing it. TL;DR- Navy has an easy gravitas that works with everything you wear it with. It celebrates your choices, whether its a foulard tie or a merch tee. However, it's not as slouchy as brown or as austere as grey. A Navy Suit is its own thing, one that is so easy to wear. It's about full sending and leaning in, to envelop yourself in Navy. It's freeing. - https://on.soundcloud.com/1jHhnPCEVoT1c3ZSRc...

A PLACE IN THE SUN: GREECE

Created this thread for everything A Place in the Sun related - currently working on the layouts, curating, editing photos and the trailer. Everyone has sent in their photos, just waiting for the developing lab to send me the film scans and then I'd have all the material.
This is the series' first foray into video, which is something I've wanted to try out for a while. Some teaser trailers that I've already dropped:...

my experience getting into men's clothes as a t-boy (an anecdote)

the starting points are...simple, if you're small enough. sports bras and/or binders. unisex tees. vigorously taking measurements to make sure you fit in men's dress shirts because you just learned that button-downs button on opposing sides because society has to gender everything. desperately clearing out every trace of your starting wardrobe in a fit of dysphoria. realizing that vanity sizing in men's clothes is just as bad if not worse than it is in women's clothes as you hold that jacket in your hands and realize it fits you like your father's coat. desperately trying on every possible fit of men's pants because estrogen sends a lot of your fat to your ass and your hips, and most of them cling to your hips the way women's do. finally finding what a relaxed fit feels like and discovering that it's the best you'll get. "it'll do," you say, getting a belt because there's still a pesky inch-deep gap between your spine and the pant-waist. and then two. and a third. realizing belts are an accessory too, actually, and suddenly they're just as much fun to play with as mom's jewelry box was....

TKMax/ Outlets

A friend of mine who owns a clothes shop recently told me how he considers he was duped by a fairly well known clothing brand in the UK, into stocking their products, when they told him he would be the only stockist in quite a wide radius. He later found out that the brand is stocked in TKMaxx . When he challenged the brand about this they basically told him, don't worry, TKM doesn't get the "real deal" , they get different products which have the same label but aren't made to the same quality. Understandably he wasn't best satisfied with this answer. I wasn't surprised to hear this because I know how outlets and TK Maxx work but it was apparently news to him. Anyway it got me thinking about what other brands do this and how widely understood the practice is. Has anyone ever seen (or made) a list or guide to which labels do this sort of thing? TKM is often packed with PRL for example, but often the products look cheap or poor quality compared to what you see in proper PRL stores....
