Looks like the wearer is straining.


Someone I know who does clothing, a youngish chap, was telling me he was at a restaurant and there were several hipsters with moppy hair and carefully rolled sleeves to shirts, jackets and jeans bottoms. He was wearing a jacket and tie and thought to himself it was probably both easier and quicker for him to get dressed than it was for that look.

I was in a bar the other night and saw a large group of hipsters dressed much as you describe, mostly with bow ties as well. It turns out that they were there after the "tweed ride," and event during which they put on heavy wool jackets and Japanese denim and ride around slowly on their fixed-gear bicycles (I assume most of them visit the chafing ward of the hospital immediately afterwards). The overall effect was more thuggish than Jimmy Olsen. They all had black armbands as well, which gave it kind of a Clockwork Orange vibe. The bow ties made sense, I suppose, since they would be less likely to be caught in the bicycles.

How people dress interests me somewhat less than how they react to dress.

I have a couple pair of selvedge jeans and frankly gave myself a pretty good chub rub the first time I ever wore a pair all day in warm weather without a belt. What price style? 

People react to clothing partly as an extension of what the wearer looks like. The more approval someone has for the person, the higher acceptance rates for what they are wearing. I usually reserve judgment until I hear the way someone speaks and the content of that speech.

One thing I've always admired about the English is that they can be so disheveled and still urbane. The Americans tend to let the dress affect their behavior but you can have an English rocker with a cup of tea speaking calmly about any civilized topic you might like. Seems to apply to NHL hockey players too.

They do seem to be something of an oasis of articulation in an otherwise monosyllabic athletic world, eh?

Watching my 4angersown going down in flames, I feel like saying a desert full of profanity.

Yeah, they aren't exactly covering themselves in glory in this series, are they?

At least I didn't make the mistake of taking a bunch of them in the hockey pool like I did a few years ago -- Preds have paid off but the devils I picked are looking a little shaky ...

They managed to dodge the bullet tonight. How big was that goal by the rookie?

Huge. Another home game also good for revenues ...
