Should I or shouldn't I buy... (clothing item)?

Does not work with your frame imo, almost everything seems off.

Weird, I actually think it fits me pretty well. Care to elaborate?

The shoulder seams hit where they're supposed to, sleeves are long enough, it doesn't pull in the chest. Overall, I'd say my frame is just kinda tall and lanky.

I guess there's a little extra fabric around the midsection and waist, but that's because I have a bit of a drop and my clothing isn't gonna follow that exactly unless I get it hella tailored.

edit: I just realized that the above may read as kind of defensive; I'm actually just curious to hear your thoughts.

Point taken.

my take: the body is too cropped. it's also kind of pitched back due to the tightness at the shoulders (you can see the top button straining a bit due to lack of room at the shoulders, even if the chest is technically fine). also, the color/texture just seem flat and uninteresting. i think it would be easy for you to find a more flattering jacket.

Y/N?

mmm - $1300; quite pricy for presumable ok quality. are there any better options around?

Leather looks beatup in the product shot so unless it is supposed to be weirdly distressed you should pass.

Pretty much what ghostface said, plus the short lapels and the sligthly flaring arms (might be due to the camera angle). In general most workwear pieces seem to be made for stocky dudes, rather than tall fit people.

 

[Ritchee]

yea or nay?

 

[brad-t]

only if you get the whole outfit

Thanks, that helps. I guess I'll have to start eating more.

I dunno about you guys but I think Givenchy this season looks cool as ****

 

[cyc wid it]

Or should I just get a F/W weight traditional black version (or maybe DRKSHDW). Can never tell how much to pay for these things... e-bay prices so variable, just like the damn sizing.

Wanna buy a pair of heavy Japanese denim, denimhead style... Hmmm!
