My vote is no. Reminds me of ugly christmas sweaters way too much.

^agree, it looks really nice just laying there, but when you put it on i dont think it works. The fact you are unsure says a lot really. Any of those patterned knits seem to tread a fine line between christmas sweater and stylish.

I think it's really nice looking, just should not be worn the way you're wearing it (chinos, crew neck T). Needs to be edgier; boots and trousers.

i actually agree somewhat with that sentiment. i think it looks awesome lying around and i think it would look awesome under some layers but alone while worn in that picture it might be a bit much. im leaning toward keeping it though because im really in love with the idea of the sweater and i think i can get it to work--obviously i wouldnt wear it as shown i just threw it on over what i was wearing today

If you love it, I'd say keep it. I've kind of found that if you really love a piece, even if you don't think of it as being that "wearable" (although that sweater looks pretty wearable to me), you find excuses to wear it. I think 3 of my last purchases have been absolutely ridiculous, but I love them anyway - they're just too awesome to leave in the closet. if something piques your interest, it's probably a good thing. Maybe you start with one sweater, and a year later your taste in clothes has totally changed. I don't think that's bad, necessarily. What's the point of spending what is admittedly a ridiculous amount of cash on things that don't excite you?

Buy some slim black tapered trousers and combat boots and then the sweater will look 10x better.

So true. If I buy something that I'm on the fence about, I end up disliking it a few weeks down the line.

thanks--thats more or less how i was planning on styling it. im less sure about whether i like it or not (i do) than if it's worth what i paid

Wear it with your moto and some black jeans, done.

A little too expensive maybe, hoping it reaches 30%...

Black Scissors RO knock-off, made to my measurements. $350

or, for double the price

The only issue on it is that the sleeves are measured at 48 cm. Can anyone with experience with this jacket/brand tell me if they fit longer somehow? Edit: Just realized I'm also gonna need a sweater or two and possibly a heavier jacket as well....hmmm...

and then i sold it.

That bad? I've heard mixed things about the leather but it seemed like the general consensus was that it was good for the price.

On the other hand, I've felt jackets from the second brand and they were orgasmic.
