First time posting in this thread with a pic. Figured I can show off my newest acquisition . A Obedient Sons Herringbone blazer with black leather piping and patches on the elbows. A neat piece, and it cost me only $20 via eBay. Bought it last week, but with the damn 80 degree temps I didn't get a chance to wear it today when the temp. went down about 25 degrees. I kind of like it with the collar up. Underneath the collar has a thick white fleece material. Looks good with the collar down too. Any opinions? Edit: I need to get the sleeves shortened some, but I think it fits excellent otherwise.

Interesting jacket nakatu, but I think it calls for a different type of shirt. Just my opinion.

That jacket's a trip. Looks straight out of "the Prisoner."

Strictly jacket-speaking, I think it looks like it flares out a bit at the bottom but it could just be from the position of your arms. Jacket looks a size or so big (the shoulders look like they could be a tad narrower) but you could probably get away with it if you layer enough underneath.

Please, collar down.

Yeah, I agree with who, the jacket looks a size too big. It could be slimmed all the way through the body and at the sleeves, and it looks like the shoulders are too wide. It's a cool jacket, though.

Great features on the jacket, but ditto above - much too big.

Pair it with a different buttondown and pop some color into your style.

Thanks guys! I didn't give much thought as what to wear underneath as I just threw it on over what I had on earlier today before I changed into my lounging clothes, but I agree a button-up would have looked way better. Yeah, it is a little big. The same problem lies with eBay as with thrifting. They have a lot of cool stuff, sometimes for dirt cheap....but not in your size. I thought for $20, what the hell. I'll take it to my tailor sometime this week and see what he can do!
