What do you guys think of this brand? I bought a houndstooth shirt on Gilt that I digged for it's uniqueness. However, I'm worried it will look a bit fem compared to the standard closet stalwarts for men. I like unique but this might be too unique. It's got a bit of a Bohemian vibe to it and with a henley and denim looks masculine enough.


Just thoughts on the brand alone or the shirt if you know the one I am speaking of from the Gilt sale a couple weeks ago.

Thanks

I really like the brand. The pieces are based on militaria, so I'm not sure where you get the "fem" vibe from. On the other hand, I've never given off a fem vibe. When I wear things uncontrol might like, I give off an unmistakeable douchebag vibe. The douchiness just oozes from my pores when I am wearing anything silky. I feel like I should be wearing expensive sunglasses indoors, snapping my fingers at waiters, slapping women's asses, talking about going to the Maldives for the weekend, and enumerating my large household staff.

I've seen quite a few pieces from Nicholas K I'd definitely love to add to what I would call 'upscale rivet' wardrobe due to the militaristic influences. Some people can pull that look off, others can't. All I can say is if you like it and it fits? Wear it. Don't worry about what other people are thinking.

Easier said than done.There's a liitle bit of worry about what others think in all of us, or we wouldn't check in here. We'd be out balling chicks in wife beaters like we used to before SF. Now we're all just a bunch of net-whipped dough boys.
