the best styles are always influenced by poverty and ingenuity so it looks like you are SOL.

Wow, 30 + posts and no pictures? This thread is as worthless as the OP's question.

He just doesn;t want his messenger freinds to despise him for riding a cheap bike or wearing cheap clothes. It's a serious problem and I suggest he deck himself out in rapha gear to avoid such a situation.

I roll bums for my messenger-influenced duds. Broken in, comfy. Plus they already stink so you don't even have to ride to smell ...

The question of where to buy messenger clothes comes across as from somebody looking to look the look and becoming part of the culture. The question appears as somebody looking for a shortcut to being cool. There are no shortcuts to being cool.
To the OP, see what you think of these clothes:

OUCH. there are some vicious people in this thread. It makes me giggle yuo cads.
to the OP.
Try a few
www.trackstarnyc.com
www.nashbar.com Believe it or not messengers do where cycling equipment.
goodwill
salvation army
ebay
The problem you will have is that most of the "messenger people" you try to look like dont have a specific location they buy thier clothes from. You will see them in everything from old Polo to brand new levi. It's kind of a wear what you get your hands on idea.
So wear whatyou can get your hands on IMO and make it look SUPAFLY.

It might be cheaper to check out the Army Surplus store. NOS, used stuff. Depending upon where you live, they might even have surplus from other countries. Like Canada or Brazil.

Jeans and a t-shirt work great. Working on spinning like a pissed off train and you can wear anything you want. I know a cat thats so fast he could ride around with a butt plug and a bib.
That said... I do enjoy passing yuppies in a full race kit almost as much as hipsters in hoodies. Slow is slow posers are posers.

Why? messengers wear knicks and use mess bags because the are comfortable/functional . Why wouldnt any other bike rider who dosent wana wear spandex to class?
