You got it!


I'm glad you posted the pic. I had been thinking about getting it but was on the fence because I wasn't sure how substantial it would be (six-fold but unlined). I've got one of their lighter ties (which is awesome), but I wanted something from them with a bit more heft. From your photo it looks like it's actually got a bit of density without being dragged down. Is that your experience?

Ok, here is another picture in a more natural stance.
I agree that the jacket is a tad short.

Personally I dont see what all the negative fuss is about. I agree that your pants are too short. You do appear to have a slender body shape and because of that I think the tighter fitting pants that everyone seems to give you **** about works for you. The rest I think looks great! I love the contrast of the outfit, perfect for summer. Ballsey matching your PS to your belt like that but against the blue SC I think it works. Jacket doesn't look too tight IMHO, it is a shorter fit agreed but that is part of the 'fashionable' look that I think you are going for. Im not into the bracelets but that comes down to personal taste and you certainly havent over done it or anything so go you

May i suggest a burgundy tie, blue check shirt, or possibly a purple tie. COmplimentary colors and neutral bases for the embellishments

Not that anyone else seems bothered, but Daskarn, we button our DB jackets the other way - left over right, not right over left (women's jackets work the other way). And don't forget the inside button.
Wow! I honestly had no idea that women's jacket worked that way. Thank you! :D I learn something new everyday!

CEP - what's going on with the arms on that jacket? Is it just incredibly wrinkled?


Happens when you keep your jacket on all day, friend.

Decided long ago not to give a crap about wrinkles.

Very nice posts from some members recently. Esecially Daskarn. Go Nordic countries. :)
Here's some testing with my new jacket. First up is orange, then blues with a chambray shirt. Pants white and then light grey.


It's decent.

Also alot of US users (not all) here complain to mutch about tightness, lol. Different standards compared Europe.
