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

[donny5]

Mine is a medium, I'm 6' 170 pounds and it fits slim just the way I like it. So for me, very TTS.
In a Euro sized jacket I normally take a 48/50 depending...

So it arrived about 11 hours ago! Ridiculous lead time! Anyway, very happy with the fit of the 46! Also got the 'faded olive' just to try on as it is all one of my favourite shops (with quick delivery! ) had in stock and for £100 less than the black. I was convinced I was sending back and getting a 48 in black but not so sure now! I like how dark the olive is, almost passes for black anyway but perhaps with a bit less shine which I actually like. Thoughts? Cheers.

Oh and apologies for the outfit! It is unusually hot in Scotland, our houses aren't built for 30 odd degrees so singlets and football (soccer) shorts when lounging around is keeping me alive! ?

Personally think you can do better. That Belstaff sorta leaves me cold.

Looks great, I was debating colors too before going for black.
And don't worry, Derek told me not to buy mine too, but I love it.
He's not wrong often, so he was due...

That Belstaff jacket looks great on you. Definite keeper.

Thanks mate, he might have a point, perhaps there is better but for £150 I doubt I'll find it any time soon! And I absolutely love the feel of this thing.

Ordered a pair of shoes, in a color I typically would never consider, to check out sizing (with free returns, and this was the only color available).

However, I sort of like them. Odd white/gray/blue hue. I always wear black shoes/boots, so bit outside of my comfort zone. Would wear with black and gray, perhaps blue denim. Return/keep?

I really like these tbh. Very complementary to what you usually wear.

What are they?

Keep. The color is a nice change from black.

You could also have both? ?

I think this color is a very nice way to switch it up every now and then, and as someone said they compliment your aesthetic well

Doesn't Rick make some trousers in white?
Perfect combo...

I can see those going well with the things you normally talk about. That said, I bought a pair of Margiela side-zips once in that color and found the color was so specific that I rarely wear them. They're basically something that I can only wear with certain pants, certain jackets, etc. Not that everything has to be super versatile, but maybe something to consider.

What do you guys think of this Orgueil suede Jacket? I'm debating if it's worth the investment.

I think it looks pretty cool in this pic, but there are a few things goin on that make the styling nice. It also looks boxy, so that may/may not work for you.
