We need to find that edgy albert tiktoker and give him a flip phone and deny his internet access. He, more than anyone, is responsible for this new bland, just-tuck-in-your-shirt-into-your-raw-denim look that every bland man with a mustache is doing now.
Modern denim is "better" than 50s Levis in many practical ways. It really does take a menswear dork to appreciate the history behind these vintage pieces. I'm not saying I'm not one of them, I'm just saying... His character is a *little bit* of a menswear nerd. Just a little bit. Some dude at one of his restaurants talked to him about denim and he got a little into it as part of his own little rat race. It's not hype culture, it's not the /r/thorwingfits game, it's not nearly that shitty, but it's still a little dorky of him.
100% - but there's a love for the game aspect that separates the nerd that likes the history and the story and the aging process and the arguably worse details from the nerd that wears whatever the current attractive menswear guy is on Tik Tok. I guess what you're saying (and what I'm re-upping) is there is a spectrums of nerds; Carmy seems to be the one that's in it for the love of the garments, not in it for the love of the hype or attention that he'll get from wearing the current trendy item.
