Men’s outfits are always on topic here. :-) Unfortunately I don’t own that Set, does anyone else have it?
I do. Let me fire up Studio and see how it looks.
@Byrdie, it did not autofit well for me onto G8M. The wrinkles were very bad, with sharp edges. Also, trying to dforce it resulted in explosion after explosion. I did not have much luck with it.
Bummer. Any luck putting it on G3Male? I have Cross Figure for the G2s and G3s, which might help.
Are you needing a hoodie with the hood up or down?
I've tried that hoodie on G8 & G3 male. It works ok, but when the hood is down, it's weirdly lumpy? It's hard to describe. It doesn't look terrible, but it definitely doesn't look right. These aren't the best examples, but here it's on G8 and G3 male respectively.
Hmm, it may not be too hopeless if I don't use it in close ups. Would be nice to have one with a hood that could be used both ways but I'll take what I can get especially if it's cheap -- this month has been full of big, unexpected expenses and it's not even a week old yet!
Here's the two I seem to have. The front Runner is Urban Survivors. This is a nice hoodie, and it autofit well from Genesis 2 Male.
The black one is Truancy. It does include an up down morph but it looked dorky.
And ... I just discovered I bought Truancy, though I don't remember downloading it.
Urban Survivors is much closer to the style I had in mind so I've wishlisted it for next time. Because there's always another sale.
You can't really go wrong with luthbel or luthbellina products. They are all a cut above with detail.
Here are some of the additional clothing pieces in the Urban Survivor's outfit. The tank, jeans, and shoes. I could not get the puff vest to fit well. Too bad. Its really cool looking. The jeans suffer from the crotch issue which occurs when fitting older products. But this is still utterly viable for G8M The tennis shoes are some of the best I've seen, even amongst Gen 8 native stuff.
This is the new DZ G8M SummerTimeZ Set 2 by Dzheng. As you can see, you get a wrap shirt, shorts, slip on shoes, necklace, and sunglasses. An excellent value.
On the subject of women's content being reusable on the men, here is Owen with Teen Sara's skin. I think it looks pretty good. I also think Sara's eyebrows are pretty nice. They are straight across and nicely thick.
That does look quite nice on Owen.
That's a great skin for Owen.
On the subject of male hoodies I forgot to mention Wind Chill. The hood does not go up but the fit is great and it takes textures well. You can also open and close it. I had both the guys wear it in my christmas image last year.

Yes, I think it's the best skin you've used for Owen yet.
Love the skin, you're right about those brows looking good on him, not sure I've got Teen Sara anything but now I've seen how versatile it can be I must check it out. I also see I bought the wind chill outfit, haven't used that yet either so I'm happy to know it has open/close morphs.
Dzheng's outfits are always top-notch, I have several for M4 that I use all the time. Great to see there's new G8 sets too.
Yeah, I really like eyebrows that don't arch. They are hard to come by, because Pa's seem to like thin, plucked highly arched brows. But I like the even straight ones, because I like to use expressions with eyebrow movement, and the ones that are arched tend to just look too fem or spock-like for my tastes.
Sara's got nice brows, and I layered them over Owen's existing brows.
I think I will test out this skin on Owen for a while. There are some limitations to it. No gens, but I think I color matched his old ones close enough, and can add some pubic hair to cover the seam.
I see a couple of Saras, is that the one from the new Teen Jane bundle? If so, what else is needed to put it on G8M?
I am not in front of my computer right now but I think this. It is also deeply on sale right now

and yes Sara from the new bundle.
Im not sure if anything else is needed.
UV swap I have so I guess I only need that Sara skin. Unless I need to buy Teen Jane to use it? Does say that's a required product.
You don't need Jane if you're only interested in her skin.
Good to know, thanks.
Today's new release: Dforce H&C Spring Casual suit. I like the classic lines of this outfit a great deal.
The suit is just one mat zone so, you can recolor it as you like. Not a fan of the shoes, but grandpa will be happy to get some new Orthopedic tennis shoes.
Ah, good. I was wondering about that suit. The pants looked a bit featureless -- no seams or creases that I saw in the promos.
There are seams, but depending on your lighting they are not very visible. I'm going to test it out with some shaders. Overall I like the style of the suit, but I think the textures are a bit basic.
Owen looks so real with the more translucent skin!
I have to third (fourth?) the sentiment that the Wind Chill outfit is great! I've been using it on both G3 and G8 boys with no problems, without a converter. Both of the Urban Survivors sets are on my Most Wanted list, too. You can't beat a good hoodie. The i13 hoodie is an acquired taste. It works best for girls.
Yeah, I can't decide about that skin. I like it in some scenes, in others, the lips are too dark, and he looks youger than I would like. I have used the skin settings to update Owen's regular skin though, so he is more transluscent now.
Owen- New skin.
So is that Sara's skin, or his old skin with the new settings you took from Sara's skin?
His left tricep looks ... interesting, there.
A not-entirely-random oddball question: have we seen Adult Owen from before the aliens got hold of him the first time? As I understand it, he looks more or less like himself, just really pale; is that right?
