Looks good, just button your shirt (not to the collar obviously)

Seriously, who took a dump in your breakfast this morning?

Disliking it is one thing, but you being this much of a jackass is unwarranted.

Relax, the image is linked to from a basenotes editorial. It's not even the OP. No need to get your panties in a bunch, Captain America.

There's a reason he's called holymadness.

That said, I like the look OP posted, albeit with shorter sleeves and different details. I frequently adopt a very similar look, though my jacket is charcoal/black with a very subtle stripe (not the same as a pin stripe, think as if each pinstripe were instead 3 or 4 very thin stripes that form a diffuse stripe) and wide lapels, dark straight leg indigo jeans and a casual waistcoat instead of a cardigan. One of my favourite looks.

The fits look fine but it does come off as gay. That's not necessarily a problem - just saying.

I think it is 'serviceable' after the OP swap out the faded denim with something darker.

As for Holymadness, I would not want to cross the dude.

+1

And by that I mean that it looks quite good, and is thus bound to make some middle-aged closet homosexuals very uncomfortable (in the pants). Watch out, as they might redirect their sexual discomfort into anger.

I do agree that there is something a little off about it, though. I like the idea of shorter sleeves and a slightly lighter jacket. But I wouldn't switch the faded jeans for dark; it would thow off the casual look altogether.

Noob opinion as well.

Darker jeans, button your collar up (I hate that) and shorten the sleeves. I don't have an issue with the pinstripes. I use a grey pinstripe sometimes as a jacket.

The OP reminds me of Sam Rockwell for some reason.
