Do you understand how making RTW cuffs functional by cutting out buttonholes may be an attempt to show that the jacket is MTM?Originally Posted by benjamin831
Yes, of course. How does sewing up pockets make something MTM? Most OTR jackets have pockets sewn up.

Meant to indicate nonchalance and show an indifference to their expensive and carefully coordinated clothing.Originally Posted by DocHolliday
I can see why people object, but I find the conceit more appealing than the uncomfortable awkwardness you see from guys trying to baby their nice clothes. They look like they're being held hostage by their suits.
A few flaws, intentional or not, are better than creepy perfection, or failed attempts at perfection.

To people who complain about putting hands in the jacket pocket, have you ever tried?Originally Posted by youngscientist
It's pretty comfy, and I find I feel very nonchalant and chilled doing it. I wouldn't do it with my dj or a "smart" suit, but with a more casual jacket I am a big fan, and I don't see what is objectionable about it.
i do that all the time...

Just when I think this forum can't get any weirder, people start complaining about others actually...gasp...using their pockets.Originally Posted by greekonomist
Soon we'll be complaining about people who smile for photos. Obviously an affectation and NOT spazzatura.

I really like carrying things in my front pockets. They're extremely useful for carrying tickets, receipts, notes, and other small paper items.Originally Posted by bluemagic
