i have been a regular reader of SF for 3+ years now, and have learned a lot from lots of guys with great taste. I used to buy armani suits that looked bagy on me, oversized coats, fashion-like shoes ie the whole shabang, and i moved to rl for work, rlbl for evenings/occasions, c&j monks, discreet shirts, and controlled fantasy in colours sometimes.
In so many words- SF gave it all to me.
Today, passing a armani collezioni boutique, i browsed in as it was 50% off, i thought im never gonna buy this crap again but hey, they got some high end white shirts and you never know...ended up triying an overcoat with prince of wales pattern (white/black/slight brown lines)- and it fitted perfct and felt at least half canvassed on the front. Illusion? i dont know. And i bought it.
Would SF ever forgive me?
That to say that even in the most-hasted brands do you sometime find quality/fit.
That being said, i love the coat and am happy of the buy.
Just wanted to share with u guys.

You're lucky SF abolished the death penalty in 2008!

Armani is fine but Armani Collection!

Everyone's attracted to a 50% off sale though.

Nuts - I just bought an Armani sport coat - you know you get better seats in restaurants if you're wearing a nice Armani.

Dear lord, I thought you were going to say that you allowed someone to glimpse your undershirt.

In nomine Patris et fillii et Spiritus Sancti...you are forgiven. Go with the Clothing Gods, my son.
