I’m Canadian so it’s the law.
Just like we ride moose to hockey practice every day eh
I ride caribous. Through 1.875 meters of snow. While rolling blunts. To watch a game at the ‘local’ “pub”.
It’s pronounced meese, btw.
Get after it!!
I’m a bad Canadian for not wearing a Jean jacket. Just don’t like the feeling of denim… Pants included. I do recall owning a Jean jacket as a child though, so maybe I’m not so bad.
As long as you did it once you have upheld the legislation.
Certainly. A men’s fashion staple, if you ask me. I’d like a black one, too.
Is there a male fashion advice Lemmy, actually? I loved that sub back on Reddit.
While I find the Canadian tuxedo slightly dubious male fashion advice, I enjoy the conversation and would also like to know
Turns out there is one! !malefashionadvice@lemmy.world
Not very active, but it’s up to us to change that, isn’t it? I have some colour combination infographic lying around that I can share there, I think.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !malefashionadvice@lemmy.world
Good bot.
Hey now, a Canadian tux is a whole different story, I’d never combine the jacket with jeans
But what other pants exist for everyday wear?
I ask, being about 60% serious. To me, nothing is as comfortable yet good in almost all situations as jeans. Anything more formal makes me feel afraid to get dirty, and I don’t wear sweatpants outside of the home. Ok, maybe I’m closer to 80% serious; but fortunately I also don’t care if I’m judged for wearing jeans with jeans. I have yet to also wear my denim shirt under my jean jacket with jeans, but that day will come (albeit with the intent of looking a little ridiculous).
Ah! Well, I get where you’re coming from. Here’s some ideas:
- Black or grey jeans. Still jeans, but avoids the Canadian tux look.
- Chinos! I have some light brown and green ones. Mix great with a jean jacket and a white/black button-up or t-shirt. Or polo shirt, why not.
Of the above, only the black jeans are not easier to get dirty than blue jeans. But not disasterously so, really. I did just get some grease on my brown chinos from my bicycle which I need to clean now, so yeah, that is a point. But it doesn’t happen that often, and some clothing soap generally does the trick.
Sure, here, let me come over and show it to you…
I still own the best jacket ever made, the Lee Stormrider.
Got it in like 1986-1990 ish, not totally sure.
It’s pretty discoloured so I only wear it for dirty work, but it’s still completely structurally sound except for the standard slice in the wool liner to make a pocket and path down the sleeve to hide your cigarettes in.
You can re-dye them! (Not sure how well that works with any wool parts.)
Nope.
Not Canadian
I do, and I wear it, as is my God-given right as a Canadian
I think Trudeau is questionable but I did appreciate his full dedication to the Canadian tuxedo.
Nope. Cotton in the wet and cold are miserable to wear. I avoid denim jeans, too.
No. Stopped wearing those in the early 90s.
Yes. It was part of my costume when I was cosplaying as a character from the film The Warriors.
I’m wearing one right now as I sit in the local library. They’re easy to get I guess, not sure how much thought I put into it aside from whether they’d pair with my skirts.
No. Never owned one. Not really my style.
I owned a black denim jacket in the 80s.
No. I’m more of a hoodie person.
Nope. I have texture issues with denim.
I inadvertently left mine hanging in a hotel room in Atlanta time time in the late '90’s and never looked back.
