Ridiculously awesome? Or just, you know, ridiculous.

I imagine it will make me look like Robert Shaw in The Taking of Pelham One-Two-Three:

Part of the problem is that the guy modeling the coat can make almost anything look awesome. He models quite a bit for Brooks, but I've also seen him model for Cesare Attolini among others. You will not look like that.

For my money, the coat looks like nothing terribly special.
