Guys, what do you think this fabric is? I was drunk and ordered without asking the seller. To me it both kinda looks like cotton faux suede material or some wool but I'm not sure. Opinions?

Hmmm good supposition might be something closer to poly fleece, however the first image shows some weave uncharacteristic of polyester fleece. . .

It's likely that this garment is older than me. Thats why I order this crap, I'm addicted to buying unworn old clothes with the tags still on, it's like a time capsule of a better era. Nobody touches this shit due to blurry pictures and the fact that those are bottom listings in terms of price, but for me its a treasure trove. The prices for stuff I get rarely exceed 10-20 dollars, this one was 10.
It's the natural evolution of the thrift store addiction I had in high school and early uni years.
>>287391
No pictures of this tag provided by seller (if it exists), it's already on its way and will probably arrive tomorrow or in 2 days, we have time to theorize in the meantime

I wear all of it, of course. They're not pricey enought to be treated as holy grail collectibles, even if they might have had some collectible value if some reseller got his dirty sticky hands on it before I bought it from the clueless babushka.
Thing is, stuff was sewn to be much more comfortable back then, I can't stand today's skinny cuts, and even if baggy clothes and higher sitting pants are back in trend today, they're either in aliexpress/300 bucks designer stuff range, and I'd prefer to stay out of both for different obvious reasons.
I'd say I have a very practical hobby.

Can't name ans whole "outfit" because there are too many variables to choose from but these two are my fav jackets, hard rock cafe and marlboro. Peak 90s consumerism.
I have these exact jackets but I'll pick photos from ans online bceause it was mass produced crap.
Also you had to smoke about 10000 packs of marlboro to "win" the marlboro jacket iirc

I just hand-washed it in cold water with soap, zero chance it will ruin anything, so it turned out just fine. You can even wash leather with cold water so no option safer than that. The fabric is pleasant, it's matte velour, sorta.
Thanks for resurrecting the thread btw, I didn't want to blogpost any more but your bump now justifies it, as I had a bit of luck recently (too early to tell though, it didn't arrive yet so who knows what I'm in for).
I have made more drunk orders, a silk bomber and two pairs of jeans, one of them is my literal holy grail I've been looking for for the past four years. Pic 3 is what some guys who have a brand new pair ask for, pic 4 is my babushka find. Compare the prices.
You won't believe how much of a big deal it is to me. Can't wait for it to arrive. I will shake as I open the box, to me it's like the first Rolex to a watch enthusiast, like a vasectomy coupon to a nintendo fan, like an MRE with cigarettes to Steve, like a Hitler post mark to a philatelist (ok bad example they're fairly cheap and commonplace).

It is a good thread.
Do you have any tips for buying clothes online? I have never bought clothes without trying them on and I'm a bit reluctant to start ordering online. How do I avoid terrible fits? Or should I just assume if it's old enough they knew what they're doing bc it's not just some cheap sweatshop work?

The way to avoid terrible fits and finding things to wear online is to take the garment that you like the fit of and measure it flat. If it's uppers, measure the length and pit to pit distance, if it's pants - measure the inseam and the waist, but keep in mind that clothes were cut roomier back then and the waistline was set higher. It's okays to me because I'm not into skinny cuts, but might initially feel "off" to someone who preferred more conventional ways of dressing oneself.
Generally old stuff is indeed cut better and has better quality materials. Use words like "deadstock", "NWT", "NOS" in the search engine to find unworn old stuff. I see so much good stuff on Ebay and it's also sometimes almost avito-tier cheap, sucks to be me because I can't order anything thought:^D

See, that's what I mean when I express disagreement with how clothes are cut nowadays. Pant rise is too short in the waist, jacket too long for what it's trying to be. But it's autism and no normie will probably notice.

Guys, you think those are flared or just wide straight? They will arrive in two days and my vision betrays me, I hate flared trousers but am ok with straight ones. 1st pic makes them look flared, second one makes them look just straight. If they are indeed bootcut/flared then it was a shitty purchase as I will have to bring them to a tailor which will probably cost more than what I paid for them.
I was very drunk upon ordering, just liked the contrast stitching and the texture of fabric.
I also decided to stop drinking and ordering shit online.

It's straight. The first only looks flared because it isn't folded in a way that the seam isn't parallel. I'm sure you are going to look fabulous in it.
