Red Oxx's can carry a suit, and Mandarina duck has duffle bag but with big zippers and a suit compartment. If you guys have image problems, just put on a jacket when you are near the site and stash your clothing. Besides, coat check don't give a poo poo what kind of bags you carry when you tip. I loving checked in my "game of thrones board game" at a steak house. My coworkers are all tricked out with Rimowa's and LV suitcases. But guess how they travel around Europe?  Just boxes of tea bags, and instant noodles. Because Italian food tastes "funny". They are still pretty trashy.

I was doing the LAX-LGA redeye and cleared at the gate into the last available seat. This business man who must have been number 2 on the list was super pissed and started demanding the gate agent to tell him why she gave the upgrade to 'some child'. This happens to me all the time because I look like I might be 20. A local Delta gate agent is convinced I'm the youngest DM although there's no way that's true now.

I'm 38 and I do the backpack after fighting it for years. I have neck problems so a 10lbs boulder on one shoulder is a bad idea, then I jerked my elbow in CLT one time running for a connection. After that I knew I had to get a backpack. I got a B&Rx grey backpack to go with my luggage. I always where spoarts coats when flying and I feel it the best compromise, i never feel self-conscientious about it at customer meetings but I'm in oceanography... we're not finance and in a field that has people showing up to meetings in dress shirts who refuse to buy an iron, I'm one of the better dressed chaps on almost any day. caberham posted:Red Oxx's can carry a suit, and Mandarina duck has duffle bag but with big zippers and a suit compartment.

I loving checked in my "game of thrones board game" at a steak house. One of the most relate-able stories I swap with people about Italy is how sick of the food you get after a few days. I never got it. I'm not someone that likes to stuff themselves either and getting a balanced diet without ordering 3 courses always annoyed me slightly. "what's for next meal? well how about a giant bowl of bread and cream!? You don't want the cream? Well, we could drown it in oil for you instead!" Try it with food poisoning sometime.... there is no such thing as a light meal. Even the soup is disgustingly hearty when you can barely keep anything down but know you have to do something about the dizzy spells. Nope. I just never got a culture that has unbearable heat waves and yet want's pasta and cheese with cream for lunch.

I gave no fucks that day. You make it sound like I was gross and disgusting. Unlike a lot of other SW passengers, I had showered that morning, and my clothes were clean, and even though I was wearing flip flops, I didn't take them off when I got on the plane.

I do see where he is coming from. You should be able to find a middle ground between a 3-piece suit and sweatpants that were worn out 3 years ago. And no matter what you actually choose to wear, basic hygiene goes a LONG way. Maybe take a bath and brush your teeth before being crammed in a confined space for the next few hours. And for god's sake, do not take your shoes off.

KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:I hate backpacks. The utility isn't very high to me - just bring a briefcase and a small bag. They make you look like a child, especially if you are young. I don't like backpacks, but when you need to carry two developer laptops that are bulky and heavy, there's not many better options. Something with a single strap starts to get painful after a block or two. There's also sometimes an advantage to looking like a college student when you are carrying around five grand in laptops in an urban area.

Shoes off is fine when you are flying trans continental. Business. Even if you are travelling for work, it's not like your luggage will advertise your work place. Just change before important occasions.

But feel free to wear whatever you want. Also make yourself at home and blast some farts while you are at it. It's your seat and you paid for it so everyone can just gently caress off I suppose. We're just different people I guess. I think it's part of the social contract that we do mannerly things like taking the trouble to make ourselves look pleasing. I think what you wear matters and there's a place for everything so I would no more wear a button down shirt and a jacket to a Sigur Ros concert than I would wear a band t-shirt on a plane. I also don't like to go to the grocery store in my bathrobe or without shaving for that matter because I don't idealize the Jeff Lebowski. I'm not going to treat a total stranger rudely because they dress like a slob but on some level I'm probably going to be rolling my eyes at the adult dressing like a 7th grader.

Who the gently caress wouldn't wear a button down and a jacket to Sigur Ros? They play with a string section regularly. It's almost the symphony with guitars and drums. Not exactly let your hair down stuff. Aside from producing Sental 33 naturally I also exclusively wear tshirts that are collaborations with official grand couturiers. Enjoy your Ben Sherman office poo poo, plebes. This is gaultier bro and you know I'm secretly thumbing my nose at you.
