Is it true americans put canadian flag patches on their luggage when travelling overseas?
>>56858021
Only slackjawed morons who can't handle the bantz
It's probably true for the self-hating liberal retards who travel the world to "see vibrant and diverse cultures".
Nah, but I've had the Swiss flag on my bag before.

why put a patch on at all?
>>56858021
No, but i'm not a cargo-short wearing, loudmouthed fatass.
>>56865740
The idea is that people will find them less obnoxious if they are assumed to be Canadian.
>>56866024
But europoors will be able to spot American tourists a mile away because they will be so fat XDDD
>>56866266
it is usually quite easy to spot them because they wear different clothes
>>56866362
This.
I went as a part of a student group to UK, France, and Germany, and our group was PAINFULLY obvious to pick out, even on the crowded streets.
Half our group was obese. A few had huge nikon cameras hanging off of their necks. Mid-shin length cargo shorts. A few guys wore stars and spangles. Everyone was loud and obnoxious. Spent like 2 hours at Abby Road so people could take autistic pictures.

American tourists are really friendly, but i work in hotels during summer and often smile more than necessary because this shit's hilarious
>>56866809

>>56866472
Why do Americans dress like shit, btw? I'm talking ill fitting clothes and terrible shoes, mainly.
>>56866885
Since i was employed in fancy hotels, most of the americans were businessmen and businesswomen who knew the etiquette, although that one time an american got in trouble when he tried out a volvo with manual gearbox and rear-ended a Qatari's rented Lamborghini
>>56867057
>Amerimatics
>>56866916
It carries no social value here, just like having a cosmopolitan knowledge of places outside of the US carries no social value here. If you want to dress well, it is viewed as effeminate, unless you live in a big city (most Americans don't).
I'm often mistaken for gay at bars and at uni because I'm fit, wear slimfit jeans, and basic bitch fast-fashion.
>>56867057
>Qatari's rented Lamborghini
that was funnier to me than the rest of the post

Or they don't a give a shit ?
>>56867394
If my gf and I go out to a restaurant or something and I wear some nice fitted dark jeans, a crew neck sweater, and desert boots she will question me
>Anon why did you dress up so nice? We aren't going anywhere special
>>56867394
They admire guys who dress decently, but you have to understand that "decent" has a completely different definition in the states than it does in most other developed countries, so women here don't have a great frame of reference.
For many Americans, mall-tier nonsense like American Eagle and Express is really great stuff.
I put a Straya flag on everything.
Lets me get away with so much irl shitposting
>>56858021
pro-tip: years of american tourists pretending to be them have given the canadians their current reputation as faggots of the world. in fact it was my great grand father who added 'aye' to the end of his sentences while pretending to be a canadian

If you wear either of those after high school you are the definition of a loser. Same with a lot of mall-tier shit.
I've met 3 Americans in my life, and for some reason they have all been quite stereotypical Americans... One was left-winged girl from California who praised Obama (this was like 2010 I think). Then there was one of those obese tourists, WHO WERE REALLY LOUD, YOUR WIFE IS 5 FEET AWAY, YOU DON'T NEED TO SHOUT AT HER.
And then there was that stereotypical college jockey who thought booze (this was in Poland where booze is quite cheap) is the MOST AMAZING THING EVER, BRAH. I WAS SO WASTED DUDE. These polish girls ARE SO HOOT MAN.
I give them 8/10. Would meet again, never were they rude but not sure i'd mingle more with them.

It depends on the Red Wings.

Actually, your fashion style as well as your girlfriends judgement are absolute shit. Hope you're happier with that response.
>>56867854
Yeah strictly Irish Setters or the pull-ons. Every other male has a pair with faded, oddly colored jeans and an oversized buttondown shirt.
>tfw "church boots" are a thing here
>>56867830
It does, as does every other obnoxiously branded teen/young adult nonsense; however, it's still not as bad as faded, poorly fitted baggy Wrangler jeans, dirty tennis shoes, and hoodies.
>>56867885

>>56867902
>your fashion style as well as your girlfriends judgement are absolute shit
That's your opinion and you're entitled to it, I guess, but I don't see how plain Jane babby's first fashion basic shit like dark jeans, desert boots, and blank crew neck sweatshirts is a "shit" fashion sense.
It is pretty much a standard in male fashion. As long as it isn't ill fitting it looks fine. It isn't creative or head turning, but it definitely isn't shit. I think you just want to go online and insult people to make yourself feel better. I could be wrong but that's just how it seems.
>>56858021
when I was traveling through some parts of france turkey and southern italy I advised americans I was traveling with to remove their US patches and to check into places as canadian
nationalism is seldom welcome outside your home country and can easily get you into trouble with locals or in fact other travelers
I only use australian patches when going through places americans fucked up,I Learned this the hard way after being mistreated for several days in france because people thought I was American

>CANADIAN PATCHES ON BACKPACKS
I'm now wondering why I've never talked about them on /int/ before, seriously.
Yes they are actually fucking everywhere in Tokyo as well.
Canada, as a multiculti nation, must have many races and skin colours but only white tourists do this apparently.
What the hell are they and why the fuck only Canada.
>>56868045
(Not him) Only women dye their hair though (almost always from brown to blonde), guys doing it was even rare when there was a sort of fad like that in the early 2000s
Also of course tourists who go hiking or whatever will want something to stuff their shit, don't tell me yo areu wearing man purses over there?
>>56867212
Is it me or does it seems like shows like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy ruined that? For a while it was portrayed all over the media that guys who had that level of fashion sense were gay, so that kinda ruined it for many from what I can tell.
What you say though, I see it most in the heartland. Everyone is walking around in hunter camo coats, faded blue jeans, work boots, they see a guy in any kind of fitted clothing or fashion, and they instantly assume they are gay or a poser or outsider.
The women too, they can be just as speculative. I've talked to a lot of the women in the heartland, and their opinion on men in fashionable clothes is that they are just talkers, feminine idiots that care more about how they look than their girlfriends. They don't see them as manly but rather high maintenance.
>>56858021
Nope. I proudly had a gigantic American flag on my luggage. Europeans instantly detect I'm from California though and that somehow undoes any anti-US sentiment.
>>56868045
Yeah, why be nice when you can be honest?
Family, maybe your sample size is too small but I nowadays rarely see people with dyed hair, the disgusting backpacks part is pretty accurate though.
Also, french men mostly look like dirty mediterraneans and jews, so you're not one to talk.
>>56868057
I was basically just saying your boots are shit
Without actually seeing the clothes, I wouldn't take too much offence with the rest of your clothing, it's just that you probably have a bad fashion sense if you consider those boots decent looking.
Don't know why you're so butthurt man, I was just ragging on your shit boots, also, I agree with you that your gf has no idea, so there's that.
>>56868146
Oh pardon me m8, I just didn't know the fucking word
When I hear desert boots, I think actual desert boots instead of that faggoty shit
Also, consider that people wear different clothes in different countries, but I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't know that

>>56868366
Oh, and steve-jobs shoes obviously. Sometimes hiking boots, even in the centre of Amsterdam.. But mostly those shapeless white running shoes.
>>56868258
A pretty accurate post, in broad strokes.
I think you're underselling the "heartland" narrative though, seeing as I think this applies to about 90 percent of the geographical US.
I've lived in Michigan, Nevada, Utah, South Carolina, and Mississippi, and this was the case in all of these places. Only my brief time in Chicago and NYC was exceptional.
>tfw Germanic-looking American living in Germany and speak decent enough German to where nobody knows I'm American

>>56868195
>Man purses
>>56868399
What I don't get about those shoes is that they don't even wear good looking running shoes or sneakers but instead the most ugly(although probably comfortable), white monstrosities
>>56867821
>>Sugar in fucking everything
>mfw they put sugar in peanut butter
Why?
>>56868424
I kinda thought it was mostly prevalent in Midwest farming communities, but I guess not.
Seems to all focus on manliness though. It doesn't take much to lose your man card.
>>56868399
>But mostly those shapeless white running shoes.
I see these all over the place, and I cannot figure out where they come from. I'm sure they're likely unbranded, $10 WalMart clearance rack chink shoes, but i've never been able to track them down.
>>56868494
what quote?
>>56868561
They remind me of Asics and other running shoes, but most people here only where those when they're actually running or engaged in some sport.
>>56858021
We did after the invasion of Iraq. I'm not too sure if people still do this.
>>56858021
Never understood Americans who tell people they're Canadians. We have the reputation of being loud and rude, but if you're a good person why the FUCK would you tell them you're Canadian and not American? You're literally making Canadians look good when you could instead be leaving a positive impression as an American
>>56868587
They're universal "casual" shoes here.
I wear Wolverine 1000 miles with my jeans, and red or grey New Balance 574s, depending on what I have on top.
>>56868587
many americans tend to care more about comfort than looks
>>56868711
>>56868729
You can have comfortable casual shoes that are not hideous though... For starters, you could pick shoes that aren't white.
>>56868703
Now that i think about it, many nice and top-tier "Canadian" tourists whom i met might have been Unitedstatians in disguise
>>56868762
Like we've said above, there simply isn't any social value for them to care in the slightest. I'm not defending it, but it's the truth.

What are casual shoes people tend to wear in europe?
>>56868762
Like others have said, dressing well just isn't a thing here. We live in a very "manly" society and caring about appearance is seen as queer (which is stupid). Obviously there ARE people who are into high end fashion and everything in between, but the average middle class American could give a shit less. To be fair, though, plenty of Euros and Russians dress like shit as well.
>>56869042
>Like others have said, dressing well just isn't a thing here. We live in a very "manly" society and caring about appearance is seen as queer
Wew lad.
>>56869117
He's right though.
Unless you're living in some kind of cultural center, your community isn't going to value your attempts to look civilized. In some rural and suburban areas, it can be a social net-loss for trying.
>>56869042
>kaki shorts and weird shirts with paterns

Actual casual shoes, rather than designated running shoes... Wearing sneakers is one thing, but why would you ever wear running shoes when you're not running, or football shoes when you're not playing football?

something like this... (not necessarily Armani, obviously but this came up when I searched 'herenschoenen')
>>56869038
If you're younger than 22-23, brand runners do the trick (Nike, Adidas, etc).
But in cities men tend to wear nice leather city shoes for business, usually brown and always with laces (velcro is a big no-no as soon as you get in middle school).
Then there's pick related, which i'm not really fond of.
>>56869542

People don't really care about how you dress unless its a job thing. The average clothing depends on region and whether or not they are rednecks. For example I live in New York and my everyday putfit is jeans, a t-shirt (usually has some sort of rowing thing or brand) and a light jacket/hoodie and everone else seems to have something similar
