While this may explain some of the hatred you are experiencing on SF, you're not doing yourself any favors by consistently adopting this kind of attitude, in addition to shouting VICUNA in your title. You may be a reseller or the richest troll in history, but most likely you're just an asshole.

It's a nice coat though.

I bought a $28,000 sport coat from my local Neimans, wrote on a card in a handwriting style very similar to the OP, took a picture very similar to the OP, used imageshack.us to host the picture, and then posted it here. Now, I know what you may be thinking. "Why would this guy spend $28,000 for a bad joke?" Well, I'm not sure at this point. I'm actually second guessing whether this joke was actually worth $28,000 for me. I'm not sure it is. I really don't think I'm going to get much more use out of this coat. In fact, is anyone interested in buying it from me? I can probably do something around $25K, which is a loss for me. Did I mention it's VICUNA? Pic posted again for sale purposes:

Stealing my photo is the closest Bromer will EVER get to owning any garment of this caliber.

I'm so sad I'm not as baller as you. Please insult me so I can be put back in my proper plebeian place.


ps: the jacket is ugly and if it's yours you're a *********.

Such class.

I'd like to add another &quot;ugly as sin&quot; to the chorus.

Is "GANTS" the knock-off version of Gant? I think I actually do have some of those. I picked up about three dozen in Shenzhen during a day trip from Hong Kong a few years back, so I'm pretty stocked in the shirt department. The substantial savings (Something like 70 Yuan per dozen. I know, awesome deal, right?) are what allowed me to afford the VICUNA coat. As for my "BIG SECRET," well, I'm keeping it tucked away behind my 36 "GANTS" ... for now.

+1. It looks like something my grandpa's canasta partner would wear. Someone, whether the OP or not, spent a whole lot of money to look dowdy and lackluster. Congratulations! Anyway, Zach... come on... let EVERYBODY play along. What better gift to give all your e-friends than the gift of PROOF that you own a high-rollin', worth more than gold VICUNA sportcoat??? What more can you get the man who has everything than Street Cred on Slander Forum? Just insert you or your friend's name here!!!! I'm selling the rights to this for a low, low price of $19.99 per entry!!

A few years ago in Naples, my tailor pulled out six vicuna sportcoats he was just finishing for one client. They were blue, black and that tan color, two of each for two winter houses. The price was slightly less than the Brioni mentioned. He had me try them on, and they were light and soft, but super warm. They were still ugly. I asked him what he thought of them, and he said that he though tthey were light, soft, warm and ugly, and that such a coat was only really interesting to "a certain type." I think Fuuma has described the "certain type" perfectly above. FWIW, the vicuna jackets in question were made of a better looking fabric than this one, but they were still ugly.
