Should I or shouldn't I buy... (clothing item)?

Flippa K waxed cotton jacket. Obviously doing the Barbour look but always hated the A-frame fit of the Barbours. This looks like it could be better fitting but the model definitely has a size too big on. ???

^^ That jacket looks much better on the model at Filippa K's site. http://images.filippa-k.com/MediaBin...ImageWidth=342

^^^ It definitely looks better but it looks like it's a different texture. The pic you gave makes it look like a plain cotton jacket, while the pic I gave makes it look shinier and more waxed like. I may give it a try. Could be a good winter jacket with a fleece under it.

It's the same jacket. Browse the outerwear section on the filippa k site and you'll see.

Pictures can lie.

I know it's the same jacket. Just saying they look really different in the two pics. Revolve always has a 15% code so I can get it for like 315. They only have one left in my size so I should probably jump on it, but I'm also sure that some good stuff will be coming out in the next couple weeks.

Also, anybody see these? It's from Timberland but they are calling it Abington because that was Timberland's name back in the day. Really good price.

It's nice looking and I'm sure the quality is there, but what is with the epaulets sticking way up like two handles in almost every picture I see? I think it would look a lot better if the epaulets were more flush against the jacket. Example...

ugly. just because they're like $150 off on ebay doesn't mean they're somehow better looking. Why did timberland have to overdesign it so much? If they would've just kept it simpler with the lines and keep the distressed suede it would've been much much better

^ I dislike those shoes.

There's just something about them that I like. But yes they are ugly as ****. Any other recommendations for a distressed shoe like this? On the cheap? edit: there's also these

I don't see many people clamouring for them before they became relatively cheap on ebay. Just because something is on sale doesn't make it a better buy

Good call. Thanks.

Thanks, I can't tell whether they have blake stitched or cemented soles, which would help me with this decision. If they are cemented, they are not worth it to me. The leather is likely to be good, given the maker.

These run about $750 (overpriced at that level) at usual retail, so it is a decent discount. I could return them if they aren't what I expected, so the risk of getting them isn't that significant.
