So i got this WWM jacket via Yoox. I'm not sure if i should keep it or not. IM a little weirded out that its a double breasted jacket but doesn't have any interior buttons to attach the inner part of the flap too. Also im not sure if i like the fit.

Sleeves too long, too bulky, makes you look short/fat, etc.

Weird color. Awkward fit. Button placement is funky. Looks bad.

Probably a dumb question, but do you have it buttoned properly? Button stance is really weird.

In that case, pardon the dumb question, and I agree with previous posters - that jacket isn't doing you any favors.

I'm sure this never would've gotten any responses in "Should I or Shouldn't I..."

I generally think of WWM as kinda short and boxy, but this takes it above and beyond.

Also, off-topic, but it looks like there's a touch of thigh flare in those pants.

^plus you're talking a lot of cash when you start altering a coat. It isn't a simple 'nip and tuck' on the piece. You've got to have a competent tailor and he will charge a pretty penny.

fit is beyond awful, and something else is bothering me about it - can't put my finger on what. might be the misalignment of the buttons
