How Does This Thom Browne Jacket Look?

I think you could bring express your eccentricity better with a different look. Besides, the TB look seems to have ran its course, no?

You could have said "guess who makes this" and I would have instantly said Thom Browne. He makes one of the most distinctively cut jackets out there. This is perhaps why I like his stuff so much, it sticks out from most everything else out there. And I think it's great that some people hate it while others love it - it keeps the conversation going, and that's just how Thom would want it.

It does look a week bit short, so keep it paired with slim pants, no pleats, and no regular width ties.

Overall, love it.

You're today's big winner!

Yet you felt compelled to image-quote it to foist futher un-seenness upon us...

Come on, 5-6%?

In his defense, his nutritionist tested him at this level. Not saying he should believe them though.

What I don't really understand is how people (and especially nutritionists) think people can maintain themselves at 5% BF and still be healthy?

It is my understanding that the buttonhole should at least overlap the button somewhat. I once turned down a really nice sport coat because of this reason and it wasn't even as open as this example shows.

But people in good shape always look better in non-idiotic clothes. Dressing like an idiot is never the best option.

both the jacket and jeans make you look fat, whether you are IRL or not

Photo note: All of your full body pix are shot from a low angle.

If you set the camera at the height of your chest or head we would have a different sense of your proportions.

I'd agree.

Doesnt work:

1. Looks like an orphaned suit jacket
2. High button stance coupled with the way the jacket sits on your hips makes it look effeminate and unflattering

I have some bad news.

1. You are 12% body fat at best.
2. Jacket does not look good on you.

I'm surprised it took 4 pages before someone mentioned this.

That being said, that jacket looks like it's shaped like a bell.

A quilted suit?

Can you breathe in that?
