WTF? Why does he point at the camera every 3 seconds? Its like he's trying to be Sinatra mid-verse, except he's talking to us about his coat.

Either he is overweight and shouldn't wear such a close fitting coat, or the coat makes him LOOK overweight.

Either way, this is dressing without style.

don't know anything abuot the man and have not seen the videos but he has a gorgeous wife so he is doing something right.

I think Mike looks great in the videos. He's an articulate, charming guy, which contributes a lot to his style.

Which coat is too tight? All look great to me.

The polo coat he wears makes him look like a rakish Santa Claus.

I agree. I don't get the hate. These are great.

I only wear sweats when I polish my shoes.

I think his jackets look great.

I put a lot of amateurs in front of a camera and compared to most, he is quite good - clear, articulate and interesting. He does need to stop glancing to the side and would benefit from a better camera, cameraman and decent sound.

He's the guru from London Lounge.

I like his style.

JohnnyCrockett · Dec 1, 2009

I like the videos too, and I clearly watch them.

I just get really annoyed by the affected pointing.

Just watched the Polo coat clip. He needs to slow down a little and breathe. The framing is awkward with the Eiffel Tower coming out of his head. Even more annoying as he had all that negative space to his left he could have used.

He also needs to shoot some cutaways/CUs which will allow him to pace the piece a little better and give us a clear idea of the features of the coat he's talking about.

I get that he's wants these to be off-the-cuff, but a few minor changes will knock them out of the park. He's really getting killed with the ****** sound.

He looks great though.
