I don't think anybody was questioning the authenticity.

Part of that is living in Austin, TX where the Nordstroms is lame, the small shops are for older men, and mediocrity rules the day. Luckily I discovered Styleforum and the future is wow. This week I visit NYC for the first time, and hope to have a wardrobe fleshing out experience. It's been a nice transition from seeing people wearing really beautiful clothes and actually being able to find them. <3 Styleforum and WAYWT.

$8,000 would better be spent this weekend at Jil on a marble coat, creepers, pleated suit and 5 Sartorial MTM white shirts.


Dude-- no one would give a **** what you buy or how you spend you money except you come off like a jackass sometimes. From what I can tell, often times you seem like an intelligent and cool dude who is into clothing, so here's some free advice: drop the condescending attitude. Even those who are ranking on you for some of your purchases are doing it in good fun.

I think what you are running into is the natural progression of responding to some good natured ribbing by saying: well I am rich and you're not and I don't want to look like you! nyah nyah nyah!

Most of us already know you inherited money, so our next response is going to be to say- you're wasting your money on labels because you don't even look very good and anyone with style wouldn't wear that ****.

cbusguy,
It's obviously at least a full size too small for you. It looks terrible.

Augusto,
GREAT move to shave the beard! looks so much better and more tasteful. Now you can get away with velvet coats without the latino lover vibes

If that doesn't stretch down further then...yeah, sell/donate/etc it. Just doesn't look right and its lack of length is only highlighted by the untucked shirt.

Plus, dude looks really really normal in non-waywt pics, even when wearing goofy (but fun) raf/jil items. cbsguy- that looks really short/weird. NDG right? Those seem like they fit weird from other pics i've seen. Really really short. Combined with the long untucked shirt it just doesn't look right.

*******, SoCal you have my permission to wear whatever you like. I wouldn't wear most of it, but I appreciate that you post what you do wear.

Other bitches, start another thread to whine about SoCal's fits. You are taking up time in my otherwise productive day

There, settled. Now back to our regularly scheduled fits please.
