I think the shirt has potential. At least it's not a short sleeve. S/S button-ups always reminds me of the dorky office guy everybody avoids talking to.

I pair silver with black or grey usually. I have a pair of metallic shoes (JV Chucks) but they don't really get much wear. So I guess basically what Chrono said.

butteros obviously look great, RLs look ugly as hell I guess I have 12 hours to decide since they won't sell out, I shouldn't buy them, I'm poor, but after these I basically have every shoe and boot I need for a very long time:

I have a ton of jackets and coats but I have never owned a leather jacket in my 29 years. I am considering this Rick Owens jacket and want some opinions. Its very pricey but if I pass on it, I will probably never be able to find another one. I found it in store and there is one left from the F/W. What do you guys think about the asymmetric look?

I doubt you will be "set" for a very long time after buying just one more pair of footwear. Sooner or later you will find something far better and/or your style will evolve. I have often had similar thoughts and discovered it never holds true!

I think that will look dated once the RO phase has passed it's at saturation now.

I would opt for a more classic moto/bomber/etc style RO jacket or cop that if it's cheap so remorse level would be low.

Here is another picture of the actual jacket im considering. I was a little concerned that it might look dated in a year or two. This is one of the more simple RO leathers that I have seen compared to some of his biker jackets.

I was going to buy them too but chances are they will still be available next time around for cheaper. I bought some JV shoes from GILT and it was still available the second time around for cheaper so I'm taking a chance and waiting out on it.
