Awe man. Good dude man. We forget we all have lives outside of NT

Getting swole = clothes never looking as good on me as they did when I was slimmer. Can't do the slim look anymore without being unable to move or without my legs looking like sausages the only negative aspect of working out so many looks I want to pull off but it's not worth the discomfort of not even being able to turn my steering wheel properly.

finally hit my goal weight of 215, down from 240 earlier this year, gotta keep it going through xmas though. Good and bad, my go to navy blazer fits better, no more pulling at the button. bad news time for new jeans and belt  

Congrats I was 260 and got down to 190.

Plus one. He seemed like a really nice guy. I thought he was on the climb to getting better too. May he rest in peace and condolences to his family.

Nice pickups.

 

[lyonbc1]

Man, RIP BeezyLocks I had been wondering how he was doing a little bit ago. Remember him posting about being in the hospital, he was a young guy too. My condolences go out to his family and loved ones.

 

[Stay Lowkey]

RIP Beezy, remember him posting that mess he coughed up into the bedpan 

 Glad dude gets to rest now.

One of the realest things I've ever read on NT.

Never ask questions that are easy for others to say “no” to. If the shoeshine vendor were simply to ask, “Wanna shine?” people would rush on by. Instead he makes prospects ask themselves why would they want to look anything less than their very best.

Ive lost over 25Ibs in the past 6 months (2 belt sizes) and im looking for new blue jeans - Ive gone from 36 (more like 37) to a steady 34' and Im looking for something under $150. Not too washed perhaps dark blue or light washed not looking for white blue.

Ive have some good pepe and TR jeans that are still quite fresh but they are hanging on me now cus they are a loose fit.

Im not looking to go super tight nor too baggy I'm thinking something like armani jeans or Gstar - something casual to rock with retro Js or some wingtips.

Suggestions welcome - I hear Levis are making a comeback?

 

[wj4]

Congrats to you guys dropping the lbs. This is more important than any article of clothing you can buy.

Levi's is a classic brand. They have all tiers, from the cheaper ones sold at Macy's to the higher lines sold at Barneys.


I personally think brands like TR, G-Star, etc. are too busy looking. Mind you, I had the whole R&R and TR jeans with graphic shirts going on in the mid 2000s.

For jeans...Gap is a good choice from cheaper stuff. Peep Adrian's blog on it:

For middle level range, I'd go with APC or Naked and Famous. This will be about $150.

If you are a true denim head, you can get something from Pure Japan Blue or Sugar Cane. Probably over $300 for this.



For denim, definitely go with quality over quantity.

If you want something that's already prewashed, J. Crew is also a good choice. Most can be had for about $100.






For the dudes that partook in the DBSS: post up the gifts!
