honestly, I hate 75% of the fits you post and for a while I was a snowman hater and constantly watching you post odd fits annoyed me, but I've actually come to enjoy watching you post 9 bad fits and then 1 really good one. way more interesting than what I do which is pretty much where standard stuff every day. You seem to have fun with experimenting, which is awesome.

hehe, you may be right.

ignoring the resemblance to junya, does it look alright? as gdl said it isn't really as much of a rip off as it may seem (or it may be). unc hates it...but unc hates everything...

Hi Folks, looking for a waterproof jacket, ditching the North Face brigade. I'm not too mad about wax finishes on jackets. Have my eye on this one from Barbour, i like the lighter color.

Also opinions of the olive quilted jacket in the second pic (guy with red trouser)?

Thanks.
