There's this mysterious Japanese man whose style I've admired for 20 years. He's mysterious bc he only speaks Japanese, and not many English pubs have interviewed him. Recently, a book came out about him, and I got to chat with him through an interviewer.

*whoops, I meant I got to chat with him through an interpreter.
Another post about Akamine that I wrote a long time ago. There are more photos of him here, if you're interested.

SOME BASIC POINTERS ON HOW A SUIT SHOULD FIT

Getting a lot of pushback on the idea that you need more than two weeks to shop for a suit. I think this is bc most people don't know how a suit should fit. So here are five things people often overlook
1. Collar Gap

I've already talked about collar gaps. This can be caused by various things: a tight chest, shoulder slope doesn't match your own, or jacket doesn't fit ur posture. From this, you can see how fit is a 3D concept, not as simple as chest size

2. Shoulder Divots

Another common issue is shoulder divots, which is when you see an indentation on the sleevehead. This can be caused by poor make. Or an overly narrow shoulder, esp across back. Sometimes can be fix by alteration; sometimes not. ImageImage

HOW TO THINK ABOUT QUALITY IN CLOTHING 🧵

There have been a lot of discussions here recently about clothing quality. Many have involved oversimplifications, exaggerations, and sometimes misinformation. So here's a thread on how to think about quality in clothing.
First, there is such a thing as "clothing quality." If you want to read a sensible guide on how you can judge this as a shopper, you can read this post I wrote many years ago. It has a lot of practical information.

However, Twitter is not designed for sensible info. It's made for hot takes and outrage. So this thread is about how I think "quality" is often misunderstood and overstated. It's also about how luxury brands rarely offer "the best."

please don't adopt animals as toys, but if you have room in your home and heart for a pet, they will be your best friend for life.
im against violence, but if something happened to a dude who went on a month long vacation and dropped off his dog at a shelter bc he didn't want to pay for boarding (or find a pet sitter), i would not cry!
if this specific girl gets adopted, please remember there are many dogs and cats at your local animal shelter facing the same fate and could use a loving home!

TRICKS FOR REMOVING STAINS

Trump appeared in court today in a stained suit jacket. The stain appears to be from cosmetics. I commented on how oil-based stains, such as this, require care to remove. Some people had questions, so here's a quick thread on how to treat stains 🧵
First, some basics

1. Always consult your garment care tag. It knows best.

2. Some items should always be dry-cleaned, such as suits, sport coats, and pants that aren't jeans. These items have multiple layers of material that can shrink at diff rates if put in a wet wash
OK, now that we have some basics, let's talk about stains.

There are two types of stains:

1. Water-based stains come from things such as sweat and coffee.

2. Oil-based stains come from things such as pizza and salad dressing.

this is how franklin d roosevelt dressed as a child
for comparison, this is how his future wife Eleanor dressed as a baby. baby clothing was gender-neutral until the 20th century. babies, including boys, wore dresses bc they weren't toilet trained. clothes were white, not pink or blue, bc the color was easier to bleach.
as the 20th century marched forward, baby clothing became increasingly gendered—blue for boys, pink for girls (even though pink was once considered a masculine color until marketers decided otherwise). now even simple things such as t-shirts have graphics to mark gender.
