Oh god! Plaid does suck.
-
You guys need to get plaid. While you're at it, get a plife, too.
-
i have a plaid bomber and a couple of gingham button-downs, which is close enough to plaid i guess. i think they're nice.

in answer to the question "do you look awesome in plaid" - no, i look like a dork. to be fair though i always look like a dork, that's not necessarily the plaid's fault.

Well plaid.
-
in answer to the question "do you look awesome in plaid" - no, i look like a dork WICKED AWESOME.
Fixed that for you.
Plaid is perfectly acceptable. I own tons of it and am not ashamed.
-
Maybe you should be.
As much as I hate to admit it, Tommy Was Right. Plaid sucks, don't wear it.
-
Actually Tommy was right when he said:
Let it go, this whole thing is totally plaid out.
Mostly because I got more pleasure out of that one statement then the whole fashion advice thread or this one so far. Though I maintain his wrongness on the subject of plaid.
-
Oh wow, I just remembered, I have a pair of green plaid boxers I made like forever ago.

we were students from Holy Mary School for Virgins (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v116/BrittanyMarie/n33800190_33750175_7154309.jpg)
also plaid (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v116/BrittanyMarie/mySPAAACE.jpg)
and bonus plaid action (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v116/BrittanyMarie/jamiesplaidshirt.jpg)
the last one especially, that is a Good Shirt. it is a nice subtle one that wouldn't be as interesting if it wasn't plaid. YEAH

My dear metal-playing mollusk, you clearly have not seen a man in full kilt regalia. Clan Gordon tartan makes lady-boners like it ain't no thang to make lady-boners
IT IS A THANG INDEED TO MAKE LADY-BONERS.
-
Clan Cameron tartan makes lady-boners like it ain't no thang to make lady-boners
FYP. Not that I particularly care. My Scottish heritage is pretty much non-existent.
-
Unless you have Scottish parents and were born and live in Scotland, there is literally no excuse for wearing Tartan for any reason at all.

Nick in that third picture you look a lot like Reed. Crazy!
-
Quick, everybody talk about why they feel entitled to wear a tartan!
-
(actually, don't)
(North America's fascination with the kilt and tartans is a little silly)
(hey I live in a cultural void here I'm just going to appropriate this tangential bit of my personal history because it's cool)
-
[Tartan] IT IS A THANG INDEED TO MAKE LADY-BONERS.
Is it the magical power of tartan that gaurantees not a single dry seat in the room? Or is it the linked-fantasy that every bloke wearing it looks like this:

As opposed to this:

Like, my kid brother wore a kilt and a sweet kind of loosely-tied shirt to his prom, and I think he looked pretty great in it. I think he was wearing my grandfather's gillespie clan tartan. In a sea of guys of which only half of whom fit their suits properly, he stood out as cool.
I guess what I want to say is if it looks good, wear it, but don't dress it up like you're scottish and belong to a clan because this is almost 2010 and you're in America.
-
Co-opting the traditions of another country in an attempt to make yourself seem more exotic is pretty much ground level retarded.
Especially if you're an American. I mean it's a country which in the short-term has given the world so much undeniably incredible culture and has a brief but utterly fascinating history. Visit Europe sometime and tell me about how great it is over here. There's about a thousand reasons why your ancestors left in the first place. Most of them prevail.

I think I love you, Tommy. I keep feeling like I'm one of the only Americans who is cool with my American heritage. I want to be me, not "that guy who thinks he's Italian because his grandmother came over from Italy," and if you try to adopt a foreign culture, that is what people end up thinking.

I have Scottish parents, was born in Scotland and live in Scotland. You'd have to put a gun to my head to get me wearing tartan.

Probably really fucking awesome, actually.

You all should aspire to be like these plaiders.
Shit my big furry hat is "in fashion" I really like that hat and now people will think I am a fashion douche when I wear it...

I knew a guy who only wore plaid shirts.
He was a douche of epic proportions. And he smelled.

Yes it is almost as though people largely tend to fetishise the exotic and take for granted the familiar. It's almost as though yr doing it right now
-
what does it say about me that my favorite place ever, that i want to live in basically forever is a pretty little resort city in northern minnesota? i like familiar i guess?

My ancestors left Switzerland for Germany because they were tired of being hunted down, tortured, and killed by the catholic church, with the approval of the Swiss government. After that, my ancestors left Germany for America for the same reason, except this time it was the Protestants and the Catholics doing it. Those reasons don't really hold up any more, since both governments have become a bit less fond of religion-based persecution during the last century, for some reason. I wouldn't want to go to Germany because of censorship laws and gun politics, but my main reasons for not wanting to live in Switzerland are how much of a bitch it is to get citizenship, the conscription (even though I heard from a resident that roughly 50% of men don't do the service, not sure if that is conscientious, physical, or what), and the possibility of it being miserably cold and humid in the winter. If I had to leave the country for some reason, however, Switzerland would probably be my first choice of where to go.
Barring a draft or something else that would make me need to find a different country of residence, however, I just want to live in someplace nice and cool with lots of rain, lax gun laws, and plenty of empty space. The nice thing about America is that you have a large variety of weather, culture, people (not sure if that counts as part of culture), and geography, without having to deal with moving between countries.
-
My family left Europe to come to America and make their fortune. My great grandfather did so, and when he was to send money back for his family in Italy so they could join him, instead he found a new wife, and started a new family.

Lack of fitness and/or acting like you're not really reliable. Among immigrants, there's also often the "somebody of my family died in a war" option.
-
My mother's family left Ireland because her younger brother was sick and they needed to go somewhere with better air quality otherwise he would most likely die. My Dad's family and ancestors are most likely descended from convicts.
Am I special too?
-
Oh, and I don't wear plaid. Or Gingham.
-
So far I don't see any family histories that are still good reasons to not go back. Unless you moved from the UK, in which case the reasons provide themselves.
-
My mum's family left Sri Lanka because of the civil unrest between the Tamhil Tigers and the Singhalese, my father and his parents fled Hungary after the Russians invaded. Like, literally running across the border while soldiers shot at them. I feel no particular attraction to either culture. If Australia had any culture outside of racism and being a cunt I wouldn't feel attraction to that culture either.
-
What about the hats with the little corks on them?

Thankfully the culture that exists has turned out to meet your desires exactly.

They don't come in black.

Even though the world now would be unrecognizable compared to the world then, ancestral traditions are still an important part of some people's sense of identity. Granted, if you're obsessed with every aspect of your ancestral homeland's history or whatever, then yeah, that's pretty damn stupid. But there's nothing wrong with wearing full kilt regalia.
I mean shit, your other option is a tuxedo. FUCK wearing a tux. Flashing people takes so much more effort, and unless you're in a kilt, you can't play it off as an accident.
-
I now have a crush on all the boys who've posted pictures of themselves in plaid.
I am Pro checked shirts. Pro Gingham. Pro Furry hats.
-
I'm pretty sure that this shirt would not be improved by not being plaid.

Maybe not but you also have the option of not wearing it. v :-( v

This should be the front of any holiday card ever.

At least my father's stopped wearing nothing but all paisley all the time, now he just sticks with leather jackets and berets.
-
I love paisley
-
Yes but when it comes to eating the flat leafed variety, also known as "Italian" or "continental", is much better than the more ornamental curly-leafed variety which is popularly used as garnish.
-
I really like paisley, just not on clothing.
Srsly, if my father wasn't an artist I would have pegged him for gay.

Hands up for Paisley! (My hand is up.) I have two Awesome oiginal 70's dresses from Liberty's. They are both paisley & both awesome. Not as awesome as that shirt & tie combo though....
