Re: Igents (net-gents), what are they, who are they?
Remember Bop? You've nailed him. He floated from the Modculture site, to S.F and the dark side on here. Posting pictures of himself in clothing styles he thought would aplease each forums members. After 6 or 7 years doing that and buying mainly of ebay he ended up getting married in a Marks & Sparks suit after which he was never seen again. Seemed like a lot of time, money and overthinking invested for nothing to me.
I hope he's happy in his lumberjack shit and retirement from clothing forums.
Without a doubt all of the mod blogs are ran by men who want to be style gurus, wether one can be in a polyestermix pair of pants I'm not so sure.

Re: Igents (net-gents), what are they, who are they?
He'd find information on something (like the colouring wheel) and run and run with it on here. He became brain numbing with that in the end for me. I'm quite capable of judging colourways without checking a damn colour wheel. God knows where he kept all the tat that he kept buying from ebay. He must have had tons of it. He was a bit OCD I think, I recall he even got a job in clothing retail at one stage.
Inhindsight I think he was just trying to find somewhere to belong clothes wise on a forum but didn't want to spend any money. Welcome to the Dark Side!
His meltdowns were quite funny though.

Then there was that guy who used to buy endless pairs of ready to wear shoes just get people to admire and cheer him on on the forums. Man looked like he shouldve saved a few bucks for a good bar of soap.

The age of the iGent is over, as too the golden age of the clothing forums.

You would be well advised to extend this assertion to classic menswear as a whole. Outside very select places and contexts dressing well has become more cosplay than anything else.

Re: Igents (net-gents), what are they, who are they?
^Agreed. The lockdowns and the Ukraine war has killed it off. Pre-pandemic, I would still sport tie, blazer or sports jacket for work. Not anymore. It looks and feels archaic.
Hardly ever see anyone in decent shoes either. That's becoming increasing niche. One of the missus's friends works for one of the big sportswear brands and she was telling us that they love the current fashion for white trainers as they only last 3-4 months of constant use before the stains won't go away and then they buy another pair.
A few weeks back was with someone who still travels to Germany for work and he said it's still suit and ties in the office there. Have no clue, all my business trips there stopped in 2016.

The old days was an adventure. Everyone had things to contribute and we all learned so much. Many people we thought were experts were only kids themselves. Lots of characters.

Re: Igents (net-gents), what are they, who are they?
It was indeed an adventure, filled to the brim of larger than life characters, pseuds, wreckers and dandy highwaymen.
But now the forum frontier is gone, thoroughly mapped and contained.
Rank boredom seems the order of the day.

Re: Igents (net-gents), what are they, who are they?
most of the interesting people are long gone, now it is mainly average forgettable guys trying to follow in the footsteps of the old legends. I wouldn't even know their names these days. It is a different breed of bloke on the forums now, many seem boring, and it is probably why the forums are so boring now.
