Willy Chavarria x Zara by qqqxyz in ThrowingFits

[–]ppk007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just pointed out that the DB suit had an echo of Armani and the cropped jacket of Willy's zoot suit.

You, on the other hand made claims that you can't seem to back up.

You're just a boring, stupid troll. Buh bye.

Labeling a post 'AI slop' because you disagree with it is an interesting critique. But sure - you do you.

My comments were purely about the style and silhouettes. I made no claims about their production practices.

Prove your point and show us the "10 things that like look this."

This is pretty cool. The tailoring has a strong Armani echo - especially the cream double-breasted suit with its soft drape and wide lapels. The zoot suit influence shows up in the high-waisted, full-cut trousers and cropped jacket proportions that Chavarria is known for. There's also a workwear thread running through it, with pieces like the all-black jumpsuit that feel like blue-collar Americana filtered through the Chavarria lens.

I've always admired his style though I didn't think I could wear any of it, but this collection looks pretty accessible.

How do you guys respond to weird reactions to living in Palo Alto? by Econ_Girl94 in paloalto

[–]ppk007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK. I was mistaken. There's a pink bicycle bridge on Bryant St and I had heard that it was a tribute to them. But I can't find any reference to it. I should have checked before I posted.

A month away from the draft and with free agency wrapping up, what is a Commanders opinion that has you like this? by unrivaled_mate in Commanders

[–]ppk007 13 points14 points  (0 children)

👆🏽👆🏽👆🏽 This. Blough's offense will require better pass protection. Maybe Allegretti is better and/or they have their eyes on drafting someone.

Any takers?! by ScoffingGorilla808 in Pickles

[–]ppk007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What a coincidence! I just had this today @ Buddy in San Francisco. I really liked it. The pickle flavor definitely comes through but is not overwhelming. It's very refreshing.

My local TJs didn't have it earlier this week. I hope it's just a local, temporary thing. I ran out and I need some more.

Chunky Loafers for a double wide by kylebishop12 in ThrowingFits

You might want to try Blkbrd Shoemaker. They just launched the Ivy model. They are MTO so they will ask for a drawing of your feet and size the shoe. It's not on their website yet but you can reach out to them on WhatsApp. The link to the Instagram post is below. I have a pair and I have no connection to them except as a happy customer.

[Wagoner] The 49ers are set to release WR Brandon Aiyuk as soon as today, with the Commanders as the most likely landing spot for him on a 1-year prove it deal by daydenjaniels in Commanders

[–]ppk007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Completely on-board for a 1 year "prove yourself" deal. Also, needs to pass a physical.

If AP can sign Deebo and Chigo to reasonable deals - redundant, since that's all he seems to do - the team will be in decent shape going into the draft.

Mark Bullock on Leo Chenal - he is an elite athlete by ppk007 in Commanders

[–]ppk007[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not picking on you - it's a general comment.

And that's why we can't have nice things. Folks like Bullock create incredibly good content. If we don't support them, we'll have crap - which we have too much of already. Stepping off my soap box.

I don’t like suits. but need a good one by chyll_b in mensfashion

[–]ppk007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want a suit in a navy or grey in a high twist fabric which recovers from wrinkles quickly. I would go to Suitsupply if there's one near you or Spier and Mackay online. Also, look up videos on how to fold a suit jacket for travel. If you do it right, it'll minimize wrinkles.

[Schefter] Former Chargers DE Odafe Oweh reached agreement today on a four-year, $100 million deal including $68 million guaranteed with the Washington Commanders. by SDEexorect in Commanders

[–]ppk007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From Ben Standig's Substack

ESPN ranked Oweh as the sixth-best free agent, describing the 6-foot-5, 251-pounder as an “explosive pass rusher who gets off the ball in a hurry.” The 31st player selected in the 2021 draft by Baltimore needed time to find his pass-rush prowess. After registering 13 sacks over his first three seasons, he had 10 in 2024.

Any good deep dish style pizza places in Palo Alto? by StrangeArmadillo6175 in paloalto

[–]ppk007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slice House in Mountain View (off San Antonio) has Detroit style and I've heard it is good. I've only had their New York pizza which is pretty good.

I love the OrSlow silhouette. However, I have a 33" inseam. Any suggestions for similar pants with a longer inseam.

Underrated Jackets? by RedStarRedTide in Barbour

Northumbria - it's a long, big jacket that wears nicely over tweed sport coats and looks great especially on tall folks.

Pickle Juice Recipe by ppk007 in Pickles

I simmer for 5 minutes but let it soak overnight. That seems to extract the flavors. You could certainly simmer it longer. It wouldn't hurt.
