Even on second sale those RO overcoats (Justin has one) were over 2k. My H&M coat effin rocks though. I get compliments on it all the time and fashion kids always think it's designer.

I'm going back to school now and doing gigs here and there. Looking at transferring to somewhere in NY.

What coat is that? The one with leather lapels? That's cool about the school thing. You should transfer to boston/cambridge instead and go to mit/harvard to impress the SF big tymers.

^ No, it's just the RO take on the traditional wool overcoat. Gret coat but way, way out of my range for a basic like that.

I've been considering Harvard but I just got a very tempting grant offer from the Sorbonne.

fuuma pretty much nailed it, not like I actually have to dress up at all for my job but I wear a suit sometimes just because

saw a korean high school kid properly wearing his school uniform with black/white chucks and it looked pretty awesome. I might try black linen suit/white shirt and white sneakers in the summer since the suit is comfy but even then not sure about it.

Fade to Black had a rumpled cotton suit from Lanvin that looked quite at home with a pair of sneaks-- can't find the photo though.

Count me among the camp that thought Fade to Black looked terrible in everything he posted.

If I was going to get a suit specifically to wear casually, I'd go with something fanciful (like that Rag & Bone Razor suit or one of the high-end designer suits with metallic fabric) PS: 2nd incarnation of the proxy thread imminent, found the most amazing JS cardigan in a 48

Unstructured, rumpled, borderline homeless is the way to wear a suit casually. But fanciful is cool too.

Doesn't look as good in winter though. Cotton/Linen in summer all wrinkly and **** can look good or hipster
