That's sorta naughty.

If it were orange and had zipper pockets i would not buy.


...Or if it had sleeves that were too full.

If I don't like it -) Does it really need to be more complicated then that? Hold it up if it doesn't make me smile I'll put it back.

dude nice, you can rotate your arm and the sleeves dont wrinkle.

......must take some killer, ripple free, waywn pics.

It's not ripple, it's drape - the way Scholte originally intended

If it's in perfect condition, I'd buy it to flip. But for me to keep something, the name is irrelevant -- I have to like how it looks and fits. In that regard, I try to treat a Kiton, say, the same as a Polo blue label.

I've passed up several deals on Lobbs because I just don't like them. Not a bargain if you don't like it and won't wear it.

1. (the obvious) Not to my taste
2. Defect
3. Too similar / fills hole that does not need filling
4. NPC/ recent purchase guilt

I do confess that the siren song of an SF-worshipped brand would probably have more influence over me than I'd like to admit, but then I'm a relative newb and I don't have the dollars or the wardrobe of some of those (iammatt, vox, fuuma) who are mercifully free of such a pull.

Still, I'd have to actually like it. I have run across some Kiton things, in my size, at maybe not quite so steep discounts as 90% off, but certainly things I could afford, and passed them up because I just didn't like the way they looked. Pattern was off, or just didn't look good. Kiton and Borrelli just don't seem to look good on me.

Yet I did buy a Borrelli "field jacket" from Gilt and got ****** with gdl when he said it didn't fit, which I suppose reflects the painful dichotomy of someone who is still working up the learning curve.
