Finding of the Wasp, very cool. Cyrano4747 posted:Thankfully Wasp is 2.5 miles down. So if around Guadalcanal is so deep, why did USN submarines not try to have a presence there?

HEY GUNS posted:these might look a little strange to you because they are miniatures under very strong magnification. you'd wear them around your neck or carry them with you or something, a picture of people you're close to before photography existed From history, can we extrapolate how to bring this poo poo back? Like, on a family trip to Florida last year I got to rock some of my late grandpa’s ancient hawaiian shirts and one of his ties and it felt so flamboyant and fantastic. My favourite shirt was navy blue with turquoise waves along the bottom and pineapples everywhere else. And that is tame as gently caress by historical male fashion standards.

Yeah dude you simply pull it off. Also please enjoy this, the world most obnoxious twitter thread, that makes the dubious proposal that the blame for the drabness and uniformity of modern male fashion lies at the feet of one man. https://twitter.com/_alexrowland/status/1100074018458218497

In The Patriot the only man who wore accurate makeup was a French naval officer at the very end and I'm sure Gibson intended us to think the French are pussies. On a slightly related note, here are two three-year old boys playing war. The length of the skirts is probably either idealized or done only for the painting since a baby couldn't walk in skirts that long irl  Johanna Vergouwen, 1668 edit: I mean that was the point of The Favourite, wasn't it? The way these people actually hosed and talked about loving, and the way they actually were disabled and dealt with disability was something other than your usual po-faced historical drama.

I sort of like the fact that I can wear a pair of black pants and a white or a blue shirt all the time and nobody cares. I don't have to worry about coordinating colors, I don't have to worry about making sure I look fashionable or putting on layer after layer of clothing or makeup. Black shoes, black socks, black pants, white or blue shirt, and if I want to look fancy, grey or black jacket and blue or grey tie. It's great.

I think there was a big boom of flashy colors for men's formalwear in the 60s and 70s, but that may just be old movies and TV showing off their brand new range of color. I think there is a feeling that men's formal wear has "dead-ended", but also formal wear is just less-worn than it used to be, and casual wear is much more changing and fluid over the years. Of course, I personally like wearing clothes that are easily forgettable because of a weird pathological desire to not be noticed, but I feel like that's more of an exception to common fashion trends.

I mean stuff like this  was not really meant for the same sort of places everyone wears suits today. Rather it was more the sort of places that today you might show up with just a polo and well-kept jeans. Of course certain people at fancier places also wore the flashy stuff but it was not something you could just expect to start doing as a regular office worker.(The guys on the left were pretty much within acceptable standards for any office, of course)

P51, b17, b29, Warhawk, and Corsair in a repeating pattern if memory serves. It’s awesome and one of my favorite possessions. Last time I wore it was to udvar hazy.

I should look into getting one of those. There's a tiki bar in Sanford opening in a few weeks that's themed after 1940s and 1950s tiki bars, and I don't have a Hawaiian shirt to go with the grand opening.

I also have a WW2 aircraft Hawai'ian shirt. I'm starting to feel like it might be easier to ask who in the thread does not have one. Also it doesn't match either description so far given so there are at least three companies making these shirts.

It can go both ways. Day to day I want to be a lazy slob. If I could go to work in a bathrobe I would. But once in a while you want to feel fancy. Being restricted to “suit, other suit, or tux” for my wedding kinda blew. Well, if I wanted to be socially acceptable and keep my parents and in-laws happy. If you can swing it to get married in jorts, a Hawaiian shirt, and a slashed doublet then you do you.

I work in the tech industry and the best day of my life was finding a job that let me wear jeans and a hoodie every day to work as opposed to nice pants, button downs and polos. Sweat pants and sandals is a bridge too far though.
