OT: 108th Obsequious Banter Thread: Nine dozen eggs and not one broken

[Chicken N Raffls]

When home, I'm 99% of the time wearing Champion gym shorts. Two pairs of gray (or "grey," if you're Appleyard), two pairs of black, one blue, and one purple, for some reason.

The other 1%? A tube sock. I am not responsible for any psychological trauma that results from this.

They're called Champions for a reason. Tube socks though? Outside of @BernieParent
and @JojoTheWhale ,nobody knows what that is. Red, white, and blue

[trostol]

anyone have any insight to Avia or Peak sneakers?

 

[trostol]

IMO ..one of the greatest comedy scenes from any sitcom

Sorry that you suck, Rebs.

Good shorts > Great pants



Oooh I didn't think of these. But I have two pairs of golf pants that look like dress pants I wear to the office. These are god tier just below shorts.

That's pretty much what these old navy pants are, slightly less casual. Golf pants are great and so much better than jeans.

These clothing takes are as bad as some of the food takes on here. If it's not over 80 degrees, you should not be wearing shorts. Standards, people. Standards. Sweat pants are ok if you're lounging around the house, but you really shouldn't be wearing them outdoors unless you're doing the Rocky run. And you should wash your jeans after a few wears.

Pro tip on buying athletic wear: Marshall's, TJ Maxx, and especially Sierra if you're near the Moorestown Mall. It's hit or miss, but you can score some awesome deals on legit stuff. I got some Rhone shorts, RVCA joggers, and other super nice shit all for like 90% off.

Yoga shorts are the new basketball shorts too. Some of them are like wrapping your taint in a cloud.

Absolutely not.

I'm not an animal.

You just don't know comfort on a warm day.

That's a lot to put on all at once.

If it's over 80, there's a better option than shorts.

The AC is key.

I wear boxers so there’s no issue.

No one said being a trendsetter was easy.

 

[Jack Straw]

I wish the Flyers were good so everyone would be talking about hockey and I wouldn't have to know how weird some of you people are.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I wear jeans for 95% of the year.

They're my work pant, so unfortunately I'm the same.

I prefer soft pants

 

[Lord Defect]

So chinos are essentially skinny jeans but for khakis? That’s a pass.

They're just khakis made a little dressier. They also have flat fronts so you don't have giant pleats like you're running for the State Senate seat your family has held in North Carolina since 1838.

 

[Danko]

Yoga Shorts?? That's where I draw the line.

 

[Beef Invictus]

This is the most on brand response yet.

Ok but what is it

 

[Beef Invictus]

Ok but what is it

Oh. No those pants suck

 

[PDX Flyer]

Haha no..but a few times per month I go out treasure hunting at thrift stores and if I find something way underpriced that I don't want to keep, i'll list it on eBay. I grew my savings by over $3K this past year and paid for some incurred medical bills (which is why I started) by doing it. It's a lot of fun. The Goodwill Outlet center (or Bins for short) are the best. It's just a bunch of random stuff from clothes to electronics thrown into giant blue bins and you pay by the LB...I think it's like a $1.69 a lb. It's stuff that either sat in Goodwill for too long or didn't meet their criteria. I usually spend around $20-25 and walk out with $150-200 worth of stuff..most of which I flip.

I really hope you are wearing gloves going through the bins! I went once with a friend who turned finding vintage clothing into his sole source of income. My gloves were covering in a pasty yellow film.

He did give me a 1982 timbers Soccer Badger t shirt for my bday once

Lol no...think khaki-esque material but in more modern fits (but not tight unless you dont know your size) and colors that dont scream "i'm a dork" like beige khaki's do.

 

[Young Sandwich]

Yoga Shorts?? That's where I draw the line.

They're just ultra stretchy shorts, that's it. Some have a liner inside like built-in undies, but I can't stand those ones. Think basketball shorts made of a more advanced material.

Call them tactical yoga shorts and 95% of the people who wouldn't wear them because of the name now will. Marketing is weird.

No. Shorts are year round. I will die on this (snowy) hill.

No one wants to see your bulbous knees sticking out of your shorts looking like a couple of hairy chickens waiting to be roasted.

 

[Embiid]

All this because I said I had 60 dress and button downs that don't fit me anymore...
