Agree.

The jacket still doesn't fit though, which is a problem given the name of the company. It's not a question of style and whether one likes a looser or tighter fit - it just does not fit right (pulls, balance, buttoning point, you name it).

I don't mean this as an attack at all but as an observation and a question as to how Johnny approach fitting others if his own jacket fits to poorly.

A little risque for my current taste, but I snagged them and wear them on the beach. Kind of cool to think they are the real thing, and not the re-makes.

I'm not sure I entirely disagree with some of the criticisms but I find individual style is just that, one's own.

That is cool. One of the perks of growing old I guess. At 33 I still have some Banana Republic stuff thats Made in Italy, and some even older stuff from before they became a mall chain, so I feel ya.

I had the clearish-purple framed Frogskins with highly colorfully reflective gray-purple lenses. Think I got them in junior high. I remember seeing them at my parents' house years ago. I was going to take them with me, but the lenses were scratched to hell, unfortunately.

Mid Brown , peppermint green and navy are not working together...

Yeah, I think it would look better if the shoes were a different color. Pretty much anything except mid-brown. Otherwise it is a cool look, I think.

I would add a couple more buttons on the sleeves but otherwise looks OK.

Looks like a couple of old Paul Stuart sportcoats I had.
