indeed

I like it but also it reminds me of willy wonka

That trench could be "What is James wearing" status though, tread carefully.

I've been looking for those for a while so I'll probably end up buying them anyway, they're still pretty expensive though. You remember around how much they were at retail ?

Yup, it's a love or hate thing I guess. I like the contrast.

They were 850 or 900 at retail.

Yeah but that's not ridiculous. Trench is far out there just wondering if I should get my head checked for thinking it looks cool.

Also I already have a sb peak lapel velvet blazer that is pretty cool, needs to be taken in now though. My gf has an all black velvet trench that she wears in winter that looks good.

Yeah a trench would look good with that romanticism lux thing you occasionally see, chanel Prorsum from a few years ago.

Don't know if the SB would work though.

Aquascutum overcoat, I bought it about a year ago and I never wore it, debating whether or not I should sell it.

I like it but it seems to be slightly short in the arms.

I think if you can lengthen the sleeves a bit it's probably just right for fitting a suit under it.

 

[raags]

i think it looks ridiculous with those hyper-skinny jeans

Looks weird because of your skinny legs. Sleeves a wee bit too short. And I think you can actually taper the sleeves a bit too.
