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

Yeah, exactly. There are many chambrays like that on the market but they all may fit slightly different. Seems like you've tried others that don't fit as well, so that alone would justify it to me.

Tried on the Iron Heart Cotton/Linen chambray a couple weeks ago and liked it a lot but, you know, Iron Heart prices are rough. But it's definitely stayed in my mind (and honestly I'd seen it online for a while and I've always thought it was cool)

On one hand it's a chambray work shirt, a million brands make these. But something about it has caught my fancy. Maybe it's just the brand name? But it sorta feels dumb to buy a lightweight garment from Iron Heart!

I'm really unsure. Here's a pic of me trying it on if that's of any use to y'all in giving advice

That Iron Heart is dope. You should get it. I have their western snap shirt in that fabric and love it. I wear it often.

Continuing the theme of khaki vs black (which surely must be a perpetual conundrum here?) what do people think here is the better of these two? This is the ‘Big Pocket Jacket’ from MHL, which I’m considering buying. I wear a lot of black at the moment, so that would be the most obvious thing to get, but I really like the green colour for something a bit different. Any thoughts?

Here are some people modelling the black and the green versions.

Well, I made my decision: Neither black nor green, I got grey instead (from this season).

It looks good! I wasn’t sure if I’d like the oversized fit, but it’s actually quite comfortable. Now I just need to find the matching trousers in my size (XS) somewhere (I’m a sucker for all things matching)…

This is more a "should I keep?": I grabbed this beautiful and unconventional (for me) Henrik Vibskov blazer from the SSENSE sale. I tend to wear boxier stuff like from Our Legacy and like more loosely structured silhouettes, but I'm not sure this fits me in the intended way? I still like it though.. What's the verdict on this?

I don't love it, personally. What about open?

My personal philosophy is to send an item back if I have the "should I keep it" question lingering in my head, because otherwise it will gather dust in the closet before I have to go through the trouble of selling/donating.

I also don't think this item looks very flattering on you. Makes the shoulders look small and the mid section look big.
