Who Wore It Best?

You do the non-Tom Ford look well.

Two things:
(1) as you can see from the poll, your pic is the "least worse" by a margin
(2) I assume these comments are from the WAYWN thread, that fairytale land where everyone is so stylish and beautiful? Or as others would call it, the largest circle j--k on SF

This could be epic if it became a SF newbie initiation snipe hunt on B&S.

1. Moo decides he can't take any more and lists the jacket for sale on B&S.
2. Newbie joins SF, discovers the group think that is Borrelli, is directed to B&S to realize great savings.
3. Newbie sees Borrelli jacket posted on B&S at very attractive price with surprisingly no takers, newbie purchases.
4. Newbie posts pics of self in jacket.
5. SF experts pile on, Iammatt eventually chimes in.
7. Newbie decides he can't take any more and lists the jacket for sale on B&S.
-repeat-

I think your coat looks good, FWIW.

You are so right. The patting on the back in the thread has become borderline weird.

I'd prefer a none option but if I have to, I'll choose bmulford, just because he knows how to pose and do the pretty.

All I ever really wanted was your approval. Well, my mother's too, but yours first.

 

[Mr. Moo]

For the record, I will not be selling the coat.

I know - lots more **** to be talked. Sadly, for most involved, I won't succumb. I'll wear it tonight, maybe, and post more pics.
