It's kind of mindblowing. Seems apt that it's coming from a Japanese magazine. I would call it "court jester-chic."

Damn it's ugly though.

Quite interesting. I can't wait to see Socal in the full outfit.

It does have a bit of a '50's lounge singer / '80's bowling alley attendant feel to it...

I think I want to see it on a person.

I'm having that reaction where I am repulsed but also terribly intrigued. I would love you try it on for kicks.

To pull that off, one really needs a total "**** you" attitude. Get it complete with the high water pants. It's like dress up.

Or maybe the pants with a black or white jacket...

Why don't you and Edmorel split the cost and take your separate parts?

Or, even better, each of you buys the set and gives me the part you don't want.

I'd wear the pants in a second if it didnt have that white stripe which totally kills it for me

Jacket is ok, it'd be a fun piece to wear separately for a sunday outdoor brunch

Lacks color. I think I'd like it better if it was done up in blue, red, and green. With brown trim.

I prefer the argyle knits.

I think it would almost work, given the correct situation, without the white trim.
