‘94 was when my parents let my teenage self come alone to the city for hangs, raves, concerts but beforehand they came in with me to make sure I’d be safe and they were blown away by the turnaround that had taken place over the previous decade. Since then they come in all the time now to enjoy it.

@dieworkwear.bsky.social Is the goal of showing some of the shirt cuff to create visual interest around the wrist? I've never really understood the point of exposing the cuff and always thought that it looked sloppy like the jacket had shrunk in the wash.
