Why are you standing on a folded cardboard box?

I knew someone was going to echo that conversation a while back -- it's because I'm neurotic about shoes indoors, don't pay it any mind

^ You might want to look into a suede piece, either a rider or a harrington/baseball jacket maybe. Seems like it would work well for you and add some depth/texture to outfits like this.

Maybe...but I think this works fine for what I have it for..Its a classic, simple look in my mind which in my opinion anyways simple is better. Its a night out in my town.. weather is cool.... this is a thinner goat skin bomber that I can wear in this weather that I consider classic. Also I am not really a suede jacket kind of guy. Not saying others cant rock it but rarely do I ever see someone in a suede piece and go "thats dope!"..I guess to each his own..

Your humble submission but an unnecessarily defensive response to a suggestion? You could have just said "Thanks, I'll look into it" and left it at that.

I don't see anything wrong with the response - my comment could also have been phrased as "not liking how sleek it is," but since that gotham slickness seems to be chocsosa's calling card that seems counterintuitive. Still think a nice suede jacket would look better there, especially with the shoes. vis @cyc wid it 's teal suede harrington.
