Only two looks I like. The pattern is worked in with everything else in a nice balance of subtlety and centre-piece to the outfits


Full disclosure - I got neon yellow pumps, too.




pliggity-plus one.








i think at this point in my life, the only rockable camo item would be an ACTUAL surplus jacket, not the freshly silkscreened pattern on that redheaded yoot. ill bet he has a bright yellow swap meet wu shirt with faux crackle he rocks underneath it. IMO, to be used sparingly, and with minimal pocketry.

Not a chance

I've picked a couple of Carharrt camo pieces off the shelves before but never purchased. At a push I could go with something like this for the autumn/winter months.

 

[batmon]

those look fine

I have a pair of Camo Vans that I rarely wear...they are good for dirty digging.....other than that camo as fashion is either ironic, hillbilly or Duck Dynasty inspired.

I have a camo canvas belt that I wear here and there with jeans. I think camo in small bits is okay, but I'm not a fan of, say, big jackets covered in camo.

Shorter and tighter fit would get a pass.

Have to own up to buying one of these about 7 years ago and still using it ocassionally

Also remember buying these in NYC in 1999.

No.





Shorter, leaner M-65's or bust, imo.





Camo on a blazer is wrong.

I got a couple zip up camo jackets that I like. Variety on typical woodland tones. I got no problem wih camo but I'm not very fashion conscious.


I got a nasty dent in passenger door of my '01 prius that I banged out. I considered covering it with a camo decal strip across the bottom 8 inches of the side of the car. Bad idea?

Watch is ugly, too.

And I also have a few pairs of camo shorts.





Um. And a 5 panel hat that is puzzle-piece shaped camo.





I think I'm going through a 1/3 life crisis or some shit. lol

10-15 years back, Camo was everywhere here. It was like being on the set of M*A*S*H. Personally, not much remains from that era, but I still own some now-battered camo baggy shorts for Summer Holidays that are great for carrying all manner of things in their multiple pocketways. Practicality has it's merits, but alas, this item has become a de-facto staple for many other sartorial low-aimers and I must now distance myself in accordance.





What is a man if he cannot laugh at himself and draw a heavy line under that sartorial chapter? Who hasn't thrown the Michael Caine "Zulu" uniform into the charity shop window, huh?





:tumbleweed:





Or, like, when it's that time in to differentiate yourself from your own larger offspring, because your moisturising technique has blessed you with the skin of a foetus? I'm trying to try a bit harder. Now I am like, Marina-side more often en vacances. Polos, tailored non-camo shorts and deck shoes for example. I mean, I've been in photos with Sunseekers. I just haven't seen one in a colour I like.

 

[LaserWolf]

Never.

Given the fact that almost all of this is being worn in cities, I'm surprised it's all forest camo and not more urban camo. But then, I guess the idea is not to blend in?

Who the fuck wants to look like a tank? Huh?





Guaranteed some dude up in here rocks 'flage Crocs.

For a Batmon post, the source material has a surprisingly high percentage of brown shoes. I'm perplexed, disappointed, delighted, enthused, enraged, and relieved.
