Favorite Clothes

Post Reply New Topic

Be it a pair of lucky pants, clothing of a certain material, a uniform or shirts bearing slogans or images you like, nearly everyone has an article of clothing they consider their favorite.

For me, it would most certainly be my collection of industrial band shirts I've amassed over the past 12 years. To date, I have 37 industrial shirts.

What is/are your favorite article(s) of clothing?





EDIT: I just opened a tote I had since graduating and found 4 more shirts (bringing the total from 33 to 37). Yay for holidays (extra organizing time)!

My favorite shirts are my Cherry Festival shirt, my tie-dye shirt, my Neon Genesis Evangelion shirt and my Invader Zim shirt.

Why? Because they are all made from cotton and I like the fact that they fit me loosely.

Does it have Gir on it?


I usually get a size larger on my T-shirts for comfort (and so I don't look like a "metrosexual."

Yes. Yes it does. (along with the words "doomie-doom da dee doom" or something like that being repeated over and over in small letters in the background)

Besides my sports stuff (jerseys/caps)? My jeans and sweaters.

Vintage, unisex and Mod.

All my favorite clothes are black and grey. My favorite sweater just unravelled a couple of years ago. It was cotton so I could wear it year 'round and it was loose and boxy, long enough to cover the "wobbly bits" but it draped really nicely so it looked neat and polished. I can't find another one like it and I'm about to try to recreate it on my own but I can't find any of the kind of yarn it was made of available commercially and I'm not sure what to substitute.

The black skirt I am wearing in my avatar. It comfortable and flattering.

Old t-shirts that are soft as silk and fit me just right... takes years to get them that way but it's so worth it and I wear them until they literally fall off me.

If it's the one with the pink spiral and the lyrics to "The Doom Song" written in it, I nearly bought that at HT, but held off because it was too expensive and because the only people I have ever seen wearing it have been girls.

My hoodies.
Red Jacket Firearms, Browning, Empire Paintball...

My jacket.
Canadian army surplus.

My hoodies rank pretty high as well (higher if I decide to screen-print band logos or EBM-related slogans on them)

Did your Ministry shirt have the Psalm69 album symbols on it? I ended up trading mine for an unused Front 242 shirt (for the album Tyranny>For You<).

Quick question, but I thought you had to give up wearing those kinds of clothes because you have to wear a suit to work? Or do you wear cyber armor and stuff like that outside of work?

Anything that's soft and loose is what I like. I hate figure-hugging clothes with a passion.

I have quite a bit of a very unique favourite clothes collection, with alot of it I use to make makeshift uniforms so that I can dress as a train engineer, train conductor, bus driver, trucker, Swiss-like cop uniform (with no markings of course, just the shirt, pants and beret), and some others I use to dress like a soldier, farmboy, hunter, mechanic, or even an old-school Soviet man (I sooo want that, like the way the soviet civilians and leaders would dress - greatcoat/trench, ushanka/fedora, and old suit clothes). I may also plan to make an outfit similar to the ones that the Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian partisans (Forest Brothers) wore. I'll list what my various unforms are made of, since my clothes can be used interchangibly to make any given uniform:

TRAIN ENGINEMAN:
Ontario Northland/any other railway's striped engineman's hat
Light-blue Air Force-surplus dress shirt
Navy-blue workpants
Navy-blue military-surplus work jacket/combat shirt whatchmacallit (optional)
Navy-blue uniform wool sweater
Reflective orange vest (optional)
Reflective orange winter jacket (optional)
Reflective orange T-shirt (summer optional)
May plan on getting an old-fashioned pocket watch that works and is similar to the railway's watch for all my public transport outfits
May also plan on getting orange reflective pants for winter, with the same striping as my jacket
Orange reflective rain suit (optional for rain)

TRAIN ENGINEMAN STEAM ERA:
Ontario Northland/any railway strpied engineman's hat (planning on getting an SNCF-style engineman's cap from the steam era)
Black work pants
Black work shirt
Black work jacket (optional, planning on finding one)
Work rag/bandana that's large enough to wrap around my neck and looks the part
Safety goggles (will find those eventually)
Railway-style pocket watch (see Engineman nr. 1)
MY outfit is based off French SNCF steam uniform from the steam-era. *worries about being trolled over the ASC issues even though as an autie he strongly condemns it* For those who want to know, my outfit is inspired by the 1964 Burt Lancaster film "The Train", specifcally the running crew's outfits.

CONDUCTOR:
1970s-vintage Canadian National Railways conductor's cap
Black work pants
White dress shirt
Black suit jacket (optional)
Pocket watch (see engineman 1)
More standard conductor's gear if I find any (briefcase for instruments - would also store my cameras, along with ticket punch, and whistle)

BUS DRIVER:
Peak-cap like the old-fashioned bus drivers would wear
Light-blue Air Force surplus dress shirt
Navy-blue work pants
Navy-blue uniform sweater
Navy-blue work-jacket (plan to replace with proper blazer)
Hi-vis Yellow reflective vest with silver tape (transit drivers in my city wear these)
Hi-vis Yellow T-shirt (optional)

PLANNED EQUIPMENT FOR BUS DRIVER UNIFORM:
Pocket watch
Ticket punch
Hi-vis Yellow reflective winter jacket with silver tape
Standard bag for carrying typical bus driver's instruments (would also store my cameras)
Intercity Coach driver's equipment so that I can have an intercity driver's outfit that I can interchange with my current outfit

TRUCK DRIVER:
Work pants of any in my collection
Yellow or orange reflective t-shirt or vest,
Trucker's ballcap with the kinds of businesses a trucker would support
Checkered farmer's jacket or Camouflage military surplus jacket (some Russian truckers wear these)

SOLDIER:
Canadian Battle Dress (1960s-2000s) BDU pants
Army surplus, light green dress shirt
Canadian Battle Dress Combat Jacket
Army Green beret or cap
Russian-style grey wool ushanka/Military-surplus green toque (depending on which mode I'm in)
Canadian Battle Dress winter parka (made 1980)
Canadian Battle Dress wool fall jacket
Canadian Airborne-style camouflage jacket
(NOTE: eventually, I plan to acquire a Finnish Defense Forces M91 camo set, and a Swedish pattern camo set)

GENERIC, EUROPEAN-STYLE "POLICE" UNIFORM (no police markings on it, it's just what I like to call the outfit)

Navy-blue beret
Light-blue Air Force Surplus dress shirt
Navy-blue work pants
Navy blue surplus combat-shirt/jacket (optional)
