I have no idea but my cousin is all about this shit now and tries to dress color neutral or some thing like that. Like, just don't look suspicious and you're good. Literally just dress and act like you are supposed to be there and that's it.
I prefer going the opposite way. I'm really short so I'll be noticed or singled out in a crowd anyways. For me, its Pit Vipers and mismatched clothes. I just look like another dipshit not trying to hide anything.
Dressing like a villain from the Jason Bourne movies is a good way to stick out in a crowd. Trying to cover up your face/head is abnormal and draws attention to you. People might see your face in a crowd but if it's there with 100 other people it's just lost in the sea of things. They WILL notice the one guy in big aviators with a hood pulled up and a Rambo jacket though.
The giant sign that says Camden Town, the cars parked on the left side of the road, their number plates, and the chav on the left there all suggest this is in London. Which makes this even funier, because unless the Met are incompetent enough to send this guy in 'undercover' (worryingly plausible) or someone's diplomatic security is really, seriously lost and also autistic, there is no feasible way he could be legally carrying a weapon, even a butter knife. Either he's completely unarmed or he'll be stop searched by the first police officer he comes across.
>backpack without dressing like a college student or some IT goon >standing around like one of those mall ninjas / security guards with "sheepdog" vibes >literally dressed in a fricking all-grey outfit
my fricking sides
They don't dress like normal people, they dress like people trying to hide something or like total autists trying their best to dress like normal people, which will always cause kind of an uncanny valley effect.
American guns schizos cant dress like normal people.
They don't dress like normal people, they dress like people trying to hide something or like total autists trying their best to dress like normal people, which will always cause kind of an uncanny valley effect.
Even if they could dress "normally" they can't act normal anyway, and it just get worse the more they try to not stand out.
It's like telling a severe autist to "just act normal"
You don't need to "act normal" to fit in.
Schizos are everywhere, just try to be the least offensive one on the scene.
It is the sign of an amateur operation. One run by a non-ops type. The departments competent in such things either won't have anything to do with those activities or they cannot be trusted knowing what is going on.
so you get a guy like me in a tuxedo at a diplomatic event. It would be ludicrous and I would stand out as not belonging to every observer.
What makes you think professionals are much better? They just get away with it because the opposition is just as incompetent.

This. The ultimate blending in move is to be smelly, fat and ugly. No one would guess them being operators in a million years. I often go to diners, sit looking towards entrance and keep looking around nonchalantly but so that attentive cute waitress would see through my act but not my second act thinking that I'm really a cool operator that is deep undercover.
Grey man was made to try and wrangle in the larper morons who think they’ll be big badasses during SHTF situations dressed in full battle rattle or go about their daily lives in tacticool gear.
The main point of Grey Man was that you dress like a normie of your area so you DONT stick out >if you live in an area where everyone wears flip flops, you wear flip flops. >If you live in an area where everyone wears lemon green clothing, you wear something that’s lemon green
But the larptards hijacked the term and thinks it’s about 2 fricking things now >you literally wear grey, only grey >you dress like an undercover glow fed during festivals and events
This.
Actual grey man requires you to be aware enough of your surroundings, and have the social skills, to dress and act like everyone else, all while carrying something on you (like a handgun) without drawing the slightest bit of attention. You should be as unremarkable and unmemorable as a person in a crowd photo on Getty Images.
Most autists are wholly incapable of doing this.
Low-IQ morons doing the opposite of what they're being told. >I'll just wear a hoody like a badass while it's sunny >Lets keep my sunglasses on everywhere >Damn these cargopants and military boots look so unassuming
vs actual plain clothes police officers I have seen >wears the shittiest quality hoodie you've ever or flannels shirt seen >stubble on his face >Wears normal jeans & sneakers >wears a baseball jacket over it as well
It's undiagnosed autism, they don't really understand what it means to be inconspicuous so they take their idea from the media and popular culture and immitate that.
Of course, by larping as The Grey Man the result is the opposite.
>go out in public with people dressed for a specific goal, work, going out, sport ect >go out like a kid dresses as a boomer >not picking any goal of dressing normal people next to you pick >surprised that you stick out
just dress as an office worker with a document/laptop bag wearing glasses and a mouth mask no one will give you the time of day
Having the hood up is exactly what you do if you wanna stand out, unless it's raining of course.
Whenever I see someone with their hood up my eyes are immediately drawn to them because they look sketchy.
You can wear a hoodie, the hood up is the autistic part
Unironically mental illness. It's the same with the heavy mirrored sunglasses. Also more specific to the OP, if you're wearing heavy boots, a jacket, and long trousers in 25+ C Italy weather, you fricked up.
This is kinda how I dress but I wear worn out stained construction jeans, and old grey or green or blue or white or red or purple hoodie, and in winter throw a very faded and crusty carhartt over it. If its really cold ill also wear a french lizard smock over top of everything. Most people think im a homeless goober and dont pay me any attention. I also chainsmoke camel non filters.
It is very hard for a middle aged white guy to not stand out in an American city in the current year. You need to be wearing a business suit or be covered in dirt in a construction union t shirt and steel toe boots. That shows you're a suburban resident commuting to work. Casual normal clothes on a middle aged white guy implies that he lives in the city which is unlikely since normal white people don't live in cities past age 30.
>Partisan-core is essentially range clothes in public
There is a concept of "range clothes"? Like people consider special outfits just for going to a gun range?

Kind of? I wear fishing shirts at the range because being in the sun for hours is hot for my delicate desk jockey self.
>LITERALLY WEAR NORMAL FRICKING CLOTHES
You're telling people who genuinely cannot comprehend how normal peoples logic works to act normal, it's like telling a fish to walk or an ATF agent to not light kids on fire, they just kinda blue screen.
>spergs that never leave the house discussing fashion
Wanna fit in? Wear what locals do. Wanna hide your face? Wear a coof mask. It’s literally that fricking simple.
Autistic as frick/5. "Grey Man" is larper bullshit that doesn't work in real life. If you want to blend in with the crowd you wear pic rel and carry your gun in a grocery bag.
the Cheka-OGPU became aware of the detention of IT specialist Nikita Biryukov in Moscow, who complained that he came to the draft board with certificates, but he was still drafted into the army. The last mention of the scandal was a video where a young man stands in a line of other conscripts in the form of the RF Armed Forces. As it turned out, on December 29, 2022, Biryukov was put on the federal wanted list due to unauthorized abandonment of the unit (part 5 of article 337 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and not appearing for more than a month. On January 14, 2023, a video surveillance system detected Nikita in the metropolitan metro and he was detained. Having left the location of the unit near Nizhny Novgorod, he arrived in Moscow and settled in the Izmailovo Hotel.
Greyman only good for hiding out from Face scanners.
It seems like the main problem with the Gray Man aesthetic is that it is supposed to be about looking normal, but these people don´t want to look normal. They want to look like a guy with a gun ready to jump into the action, which naturally runs counter to being a Gray Man.
It´s like not wanting to look gay, so you spend ten minutes thinking about how not to look gay, and then you put on a pink shirt, dye your hair into a rainbow and join the closest pride parade. Buddy, didn´t you want to NOT LOOK GAY?

Nothing reminds me this place is full of feds and low functioning autists quite like clothing threads. Case in point:
>take a reddit post of a full 511 outfit and copy paste it here >only critique is too much green
Either way the grey man concept makes no sense to me. But I’m a criminal so I guess I see shit differently.
>Nothing reminds me this place is full of feds and low functioning autists quite like clothing threads.
You mean the threads where everyone mocks this shit? I think the autist in question here may be you.
The most effective gray man costume is to wear business casual with a descreet backpack for office work or a side bag for laptop. In addition you should carry a fake access badge around your neck so it looks like you are coming from or walking to the office.
What I would do is keep the hoodie and cargo pants, but throw a hi-vis on top and roll around in some dirt. Nobody questions that clothing on a construction worker.
meds, now.
What's the deal with all these "grey men" sticking out like sore thumbs in every crowd?
Schizos, autists and morons' attempts at being a normie
A middle aged man in a hoodie is pretty suspicious.
>be me
>literally 40 y/o
>wears a hoodie
where did i go wrong, lads?
Fricking sort yourself out.
You can wear a hoodie, the hood up is the autistic part
Unironic yeah
I have no idea but my cousin is all about this shit now and tries to dress color neutral or some thing like that. Like, just don't look suspicious and you're good. Literally just dress and act like you are supposed to be there and that's it.

Tunnel Snakes rule!
American guns schizos cant dress like normal people.
Lmao thes two dudes dont look normal at all,kek.You can legitimatly fell the schizo autism energy from the outfits.
Dressing like a villain from the Jason Bourne movies is a good way to stick out in a crowd. Trying to cover up your face/head is abnormal and draws attention to you. People might see your face in a crowd but if it's there with 100 other people it's just lost in the sea of things. They WILL notice the one guy in big aviators with a hood pulled up and a Rambo jacket though.

yeah, it's a yank.
He's obviously German since he's standing there waiting for the signal to cross the street even though there are no cars approaching.
?
Germany is not the place where jaywalking is a crime, kek
That's only because they can't even imagine anyone actually jaywalking
Sad cope, people jaywalk here all the time
The only reason I even know this term exists is because I spent too much time over in the states, kek
>German middle aged man
>not wearing shorts, socks and sandals
This is almost based on the opposite end of the spectrum. He’s so obviously carrying that no one would want to frick with him
>He’s so obviously carrying that no one would want to frick with him
>carrying
>in Camden
Honestly I think if he had a bike he wouldn't stick out so much. People would just assume his on a bike tour or commuting someplace.
The giant sign that says Camden Town, the cars parked on the left side of the road, their number plates, and the chav on the left there all suggest this is in London. Which makes this even funier, because unless the Met are incompetent enough to send this guy in 'undercover' (worryingly plausible) or someone's diplomatic security is really, seriously lost and also autistic, there is no feasible way he could be legally carrying a weapon, even a butter knife.

Going out of your way to look normal usually makes you look weird because normal isn't normal

He just failed the task, that's all.

Whenever I see someone with their hood up my eyes are immediately drawn to them because they look sketchy.
Damn, Ian got old

Unironically mental illness. It's the same with the heavy mirrored sunglasses. Also more specific to the OP, if you're wearing heavy boots, a jacket, and long trousers in 25+ C Italy weather, you fricked up.
Because they think people give enough of a shit to remember the faces of random passersby

If its really cold ill also wear a french lizard smock over top of everything. Most people think im a homeless goober and dont pay me any attention. I also chainsmoke camel non filters.
Oh yeah I also walk around in public with a bottle of jack in the ole brown paper bag
Pull your penis out of the fly and let it dangle. You'll be amazed how people don't see you.

The Italian police clearly recognized him as an American man going through a midlife crisis and wanted to see if he's okay.
What's this actually from?
The future.

well he got caught so it wasn't good enough.
people try way to hard to '''blend in'''. just dress normally.
It's funny because green is much better for blending in to the public.
That is a good unabomber cosplay.

Too small and look at the length of that fricking strap. It's a handbag.
