I was more joking than anything. The only times I see pictures of him is at Michelin star restaurants dressed up in MC style.

I wear the bukkake jeans neo-Samurai look when eating lowbrow stuff like burgers and noodle soup.

Yesterday for my flight home, I was dressed in sweat pants, a long-sleeve running shirt, and running shoes. I wanted to be comfortable for the long flight, and I was. I'd never worn sweats on a plane before, ever. Still looked dapper though.satisfied.gif

JayJay, your next step is to go into SW+D and look into the $1800 Lanvin sweatpants. You will want to wear them with a $300 Rick Owen tank top and $1250 Rick Owens sneakers.

Real talk, since the this is basically the food forum and 'mensimageconsultant' can suck my wee wee-

I really have to say, my 12 year leather jacket looks fucking amazing hanging on a wall when I go into Japanese restaurants here and the coat hooks are on the walls behind you, so that your jacket is displayed for the room to see - most of the people in the room at a given time eventually stop and make it a topic of conversation while eating as it's part of the decor. I get a lot of comments in passing on my jacket as well, not so much it being 'that jacket' as much as 'fuck, did you see how nicely worn in that thing looked?' by people who just appreciate how nice the sleeves look. Nothing trumps a well beaten black leather jacket.

I don't think I've ever received a negative comment from a stranger based on my dress. Sometimes they'll ask what the occasion is, but it's never in a malicious or derisive manner.
At work I stand out for being so young and well dressed, but there's an older gentleman here who wears outfits like brown linen DB blazers with rust orange pocket squares and purple suede chukkas, so my slightly conservative dress barely warrants comment.

Must find a pair of purple suede chukkas biggrin.gif

I often get a few snickers or cracks from men, but only ever behind my back when I'm presumably out of earshot. This happens a lot in the summer when I wear my off-white Zegna blazer that has, somehow and miraculously, survived eight years of regular use without a wine or food stain. Women, on the other hand, often ask me if I'm "from Europe or something." (I once answered that I was from Japan, to which the woman said, "That's so cool; I love sushi.")

The key is just having the balls to carry it off. If you don't look self-conscious, you'll usually be fine. (Also, the best way to respond to someone who asks, "dude, why are you wearing a suit?" is to answer, "the question is, why aren't you?")

this happens to me especially in the Midwest when I head home to visit family. Summertime loafers and linen pants is enough to draw stares. And ya.. seems the fact that I dress nicely and am not overweight I must be European or South African or something... when I lived in Taipei no one ever believed I was actually American.

Exactly. When I visit family in Minnesota it's just, well, awkward. The idea of wearing (gasp!) a collared shirt for an outdoor activity is anathema. I mean, I'm not doing anything even remotely MC worthy. Linen pants, a white button-down, loafers.

In Europe, the default assumption is that I'm German and I'm often complimented on my excellent English.
