Manly closet post: part III

web analytics20150113_192718 (Custom) (2)



I ran out of space in my wardrobe, so I settled for moving it all to my hot tub. It's kind of a hassle digging stuff out to dress myself, but I manage.


Over the past year I accomplished a number of objectives I set for myself: completing my Iron Gate and Cathedral bag collections, as well as increasing the number of capes and Roland variants in my wardrobe. This year I'll be headed to Houston to meet up with the Palace of Princes crew and do my best Mr Darcy impression at Nightfall. For just $74.84 you too can watch me stand by myself and pointedly avoid any attempts at unwanted social contact.

Blah blah blah, Livejournal is a piece of shit and I can't be bothered editing this anymore. Follow me on Tumblr agentlemandoesnotconga.

Second Moitie item I fell in love with. Didn't actually get around to buying it until three years after it had sold out. Got into a ridiculous bidding war that I lost. The winning bidder didn't pay up, so I got it at the opening bid price when it was relisted. First Moitie item I fell in love with and bought. Now falling apart and never worn. I couldn't even see this coat properly in the grainy mobile phone photo in the original Mbok auction, but bid on it anyway just because.

This coat attracts nerds. Faux-fur, gross. The closest I come to casual aristo.

Didn't really want the coat, but didn't want anyone else to have it, either. Got this in the 2013 lucky pack. Won this in an auction - brand new with tags despite being several years old. Got this in the 2014 Halloween lucky pack. Clearly I needed this.

Still regret not buying the hat when I had the chance. First cape I bought. Was overcome by strange gothninja desires. I wanted this simply because it was held together by buckles instead of ridiculous ties. This 'bordeaux' cloak taught me that Takashi Shibata knows about as much about colours as Mana does.

Wool variant of the BZ2062 Mini Mantle. I got three quarters of the gobelins set in the 2015 NY lucky pack. Not sure if they were being very generous or very cruel.

Duelled a Noppin user on Y!J for half an hour over this jacket. Won when I finally drove it up to retail price.

This coat combines the the cuffs of BZM2219, collar of BZM2227 and lapels of BZM2246 to create a chimera. Yes, it looks almost exactly the same as BZM2254 Sebastian I don't even like Kuroshitsuji.

My first Boz piece. The Flasco blog coordinated this with a baby blue waistcoat. Absolutely shameful. Buying Roland variants is the closest I'll let myself come to jumping on the Roland collecting bandwagon. Wasn't actually a Roland fan to begin with, but it eventually grew on me.

My second Roland. I discovered you could make buttons bleed with the first. xelyna can't tell the difference between this and Roland. Disgraceful. It's been over two years and I still haven't worn this yet.

Only started buying short jackets after acquiring my buttcapes because it feels so weird walking around without the skirt swishing around my legs. Design based on BZM2334 Campagna jacket. This jacket is named after a Great Marquis of Hell responsibile for the gangrenous arrow wounds. It's physically impossible to reach that top pocket with the jacket on.

Seems to have been inspired by Count Orlock's jacket. The lining is signed by Mana. Bought solely because it was a velveteen rider jacket.

I still have no idea how to wear this. A little disappointed because I was expecting something fancier considering Boz made a big deal of it being part of a special set, but it's kind of growing on me. A guy asked me if I could fly with this coat on. Congratulations on the twentieth dumbass to make a Matrix reference.

All I need is for Boz to make some track suit pants and I'll be ready to take up my new life as a petty criminal.

Ordered online after a very unproductive trip to Japan. Turns out Kera doesn't stock much in men's size. So yeah, bordeaux is third colour to creep into my wardrobe.

I thought this waistcoat was defective when I first bought it because I didn't know what a boutonnière was.

You should totally buy my gobelins set. I'm not really a stripe person, so you'll rarely see these worn.

I don't even know why I bought this. This isn't the shade of black as my other clothes and that upsets me.

My very first buttcape. With it began the buttcape bros and the secret mandates of the ouji society. Boz classes this as pants instead of a skirt.

4/4 Probably my favourite shirts, even with the sausage sleeves, so I'm glad i managed to collect the entire set.

2/2 Bought in the innocent days when I still thought $60 for a shirt was a large amount. 2/2 Half the buttons on these shirts are decorative and this confuses dates immensely.

This shirt vindicates my love of double-breasted shirts. Rarely worn because all those ruffles just get in my way. I got given the black one for free with another shirt after buying something from a consignment shop because nobody wanted it. The blue I got in a lucky pack again because nobody wanted it.
