What are you wearing today?

[Crowzer]

Rosenrot to HOF?

No doubs for me !

I fell from a motorcycle at low speed, about 35ish mph, while wearing these and it was still enough to punch holes in both knees (two on the right one!) and nearly rip off the coin pocket, rivets and all. I guess it's impressive enough that they held up that well, but in a serious wreck I would have been all kinds of fucked. My mesh protective jacket suffered similar damage but I would have been a lot worse off without the armor.

yah, you shouldn't be wearing jeans also. Might as well get leather pants, im sure you'd be a perfect leather daddy.

So if you had to get from point A to point B you'd typically take a car or public transportation? Or are you just saying that it's bad practice to ride without proper protection?

This is getting pretty off topic, but I think he is just saying that he has ridden without proper gear, but only when commuting somewhere instead of just cruising.

I have to admit I often use very inadequate riding gear, but only when in low speed areas.

I know a motorcycle conversation would get your presence around these parts.....

how are you?
Im in JA

Hey zamb, I'm doing well, thanks. Check your PMs.

If anyone wants to continue the motorcycle conversation, I've copied relevant posts and continued here.

kucejoe, those pants look quite comfortable. Loose pants are a new direction for you, no?

EDIT: I missed this first time around:

rosenrot you look nice in those little pink shorts. hof!

[Stijn]

kucejoe I really like the colours and the texture/fabric of the pants!

[kucejoe]

kucejoe, those pants look quite comfortable. Loose pants are a new direction for you, no?

I still favor slim trousers, but I've been integrating wider cuts as well for a while now. These days I'm really liking trousers with a looser top block (even pleats) and tapered slim lower leg.

[Magic1]

kucejoe, that's great. what pants are those?

[Mail-Moth]

Kucejoe, that may be the first time I'm not entirely convinced by one of your outfits : I'd say the jacket, fit and fabric wise, doesn't match the relaxed, crumpled pants, nor does the association of the greyish upper with the burgundy bottom. I'm afraid those pants won't be an easy piece to pair with what you usually wear.

Rosenrot : this last one was daring. HOF for sure.

Wire.artist : you know wearing those pants and not taking a proper pic is pure provocation.

Today : the usual spring uniform with the usual slight variations.

[Chant]

Fuck black

Rosenrot : great picture, but why in black and white ? Btw are you wearing golden leggins ?

Sergueyseven : I don't like BBS at all, but you always look very good in it.

Wire.artist : the hakama suit looks great, bit it's impossible to see anything.

Spring time is colour time.

EDIT : put another pic where the proportions of the cropped pants are shown a bit better.

[Mail-Moth]

Damn, that's a bright red. Maybe you should try something without the belt, it sets things a bit off IMO.

[kucejoe]

Magic1: Thanks. The trousers are by a designer named Levi Palmer from his Central Saint Martins graduate collection. The fabric is a wool / linen / metal mix so it is crumpled with a slight metallic sheen.

Mail-Moth: You make some good points. You are probably right about the t-shirt. I didn't want to pair the trousers with something else loose / crumpled / etc. I like the contrast of the clean blazer with the trousers and think the length of the blazer works well with the shape of the trousers. But together with the shirt, the upper half was probably too clean. I did try on a looser black shirt and that might have been a better choice. The trousers are not easy to integrate into my wardrobe, but they are fun to wear so I'll keep playing around and see what works.

Nice fit btw.

Christian: I kind of have to echo what Moth said about me and say this may be the first time I'm not entirely convinced. I just feel the mix of the drop crotch and where the trousers hit the boots is a bit off. Maybe the trousers should stack a bit? Maybe a different belt?

[Rosenrot]

Christian, the photo is in greyscale simply because the clothes are black and white, while the leggings are liquid silver. By removing the colours I thought it's easier to concentrate on the clothes themselves.

On another note, the intensity of the red is disturbing, but I'm not disputing the overall silhouette.

Mail-Moth, thank you. I wish you'd put a less disturbing face on yourself.

[SeptSeptSept]

i'm not some kind of ccp's expert so i'll just say what i actually feel.
his stuff, and especially shoes look usually so "worn", passed, used etc. that i can't imagine them being such a bright and unusual color. i mean, i can't take it seriously, i'll be always concerned about those super strange stuff i'm walking with.

'm pretty sur you can make them work christian though;
so congrats.

Rosenrot - Wow, just plain wow. That is amazing and I personally would love to see the colour version of this photo. I imagine the liquid silver leggins must have looked great with the feel of the whole outfit.

Wire.artist - the silhouette is amazing, I concur Moth, a proper photo would be more than welcome!

Christian - I must agree with the above. I can't precisely point out why but there indeed is something wrong about the colours. It's not "in your face" wrong but it does strike me as odd and out of place.

Sergey - you aren't helping my love for BBS as of late, do you know that?

And to the less or more usuals, you are looking good as of late SZ :)
