are you an eccentric? do you hang out with models? do you have a lot of money?

if yes to all three - that is awesome.

if not, i would hesitate.

I have tried on the same model RLPL suit but in different fabric - a grey POW with bright pink - yes bright pink - overpane. Be warned, this model is not for the faint-hearted - not only are the fabric choices very bold, the lapels are quite wide and the buttons are BIG and in my opinion, overwhelmingly so.

YMMV of course, but not to my taste and I really wanted to love it because it was in my size (and at outlet prices).

I very much like it. I think it would look great if you're really tall, though.

I'd wear it.

Looks awesome but I would prefer it as a suit than a sportscoat

 

[Leslierc]

I'd buy it if I saw it my size.

Love it, but my family (and others too, I'm sure) think I dress too boldly.

Thanks for the comment guys. When I saw it, I thought this was really kick ass coat to wear in Fall/Winter for social occasion like going out (to outdoor lounge) or date. I am thinking of wearing it with FC dress shirt, black and white polka dot tie, boot cut jeans, and brown santoni shoes if I really want to show it off.

I see nothing wrong with it as long as you know when would be an appropriate time for that coat. Definitely not trad.

I think I agree, although that sure would be a lot of... that...

Just got this coat yesterday. The fit is amazing--almost as if it was made for me. As I expected, the coat is really trimmed--which I like. It is made by St. Andrews and this is the first time I tried a coat made by them. I would say this coat sure has workmanship equal to Brioni coats that I have. Certainly it is better made and more carefully finished than Isaia stuff. Hand stitchings are done very clean fashion like ones you see in Brioni suits (IMHO Kiton suits have some clumsy hand work). The coat is really light as well.
