Schneider tailored stuff is sometimes a bit boxy and tight fitting at the same time, I'd stay away unless you can easily return it


Cosigned. I'm not entirely sure who Schneider cuts his tailored jackets for, but it's certainly not anyone even remotely resembling me.

saw this yesterday when it was posted and have wanted it since. main reason i'm unsure is that realistically i wouldn't be able to wear it until next fall (i currently live in texas). that said, i'm almost definitely going to be moving to the NE before then so i will surely need a coat. i'm a lot more sure of my style than i used to be and changing it a lot more slowly and subtly, so i feel pretty sure i'll like it just as much a year from now and be able to incorporate into my wardrobe easily. i don't like to think in these terms, but at $525 i doubt i'd lose much money trying to find another buyer if i changed my mind later on anyway.

A million times yes
If it looks good even in yoox product shots, it's bound to be ******* incredible irl.

Should probably just kop this instead. Would really consider that Balenciaga hood coat if I could wear it more often.
