this is really funny. are you for real? this is easily the dumbest critique of a fit pic ever on here, mainly because you're taking yourself so seriously in trying to point out all that you see "is wrong".

I think you're taking it too personally. I have to agree with him that the top and bottom half of that fit pic don't jive at all. The cuffed jeans and shoes come off as way too casual for the rest of it.

GS you look great. Long coat, jeans, cuffs, the whole bit. That look is what I wear a lot of the time actually.

if you look at top half and then bottom half it doesn't go but when you look at the whole fit the vibe is right for me.

long coat, jeans, cuffs can be perfectly fine. but when you wear your cuffed jeans and work boots do you also select a jacket with a velvet (sorry if i got the material wrong) collar and a pocket square? i like the top alone or the bottom alone but if you're gonna be so formal up top at least put on different laces so it doesnt look like you know who.

Teddy boy? Nice homage, in my opinion.

Suedehead. it's a look...if you're into that sorta thing.

Agreed with some of the comments about GS's fit, curious if he would've put together the same fit back home? Sometimes when travelling (with a limited wardrobe) you just gotta make do with what ya got.

I'm just not a big fan of the boots (DMs?). Everything else is standard GS goodness. Coat is fantastic.

EDIT: K probably should've read the original post. Still, opinion stands.

thank you. at least some one GETS IT, when you travel you have a really limited amount of stuff you can bring, and when I buy a new coat I just want to wear it with whatever I have on hand. Sometimes the small mindedness of this forum disguised as being "informed" is laughable. Ideally I'd pair the crombie with a pair of oxblood brogues. But I'm a big fan of the boots/braces with crombie look as well. that original critique just sounded like a real **** talking, about the color of the different burgundies not matching and ****.

Suedehead. it's a look...if you're into that sorta thing.

of course you know what's going on Dave.

^ Have done the same thing many times myself - practicality wins out over impressing SF anyday.
