Should I or shouldn't I buy... (clothing item)?

Eh, something about the lapel looks off to me, its like an odd two/three button hybrid jacket. Texture looks a bit interesting but can't really from just one pic off the computer though.

macuser3of5 · Oct 15, 2010

the drape of that jacket seems odd to me... is it on the sample sale? I wouldn't risk not being able to return.

ya its the sample sale

Not a huge fan of it. The lapels are super broad, which in and of itself is fine, but because of the button stance it's really stubby looking. Also looks like there's very little drop, though that could just be due to Yoox's picture-taking skills

What Kit said. The button stance is high, and the lapels are much too thick for my liking. Even if it's a slim fit (which I can't tell), that will make you look "rounder" if I'm visualizing it correctly.

I dunno man; would the world really be a worse place if ToJ made a MMM 5 zip replica?

But Drew wouldn't just copy it, if anything he'd take it and make it a real ToJ jacket and not a MMM 5-zip made by ToJ

Should I buy a pair of cordovan PTBs for $400? I know I'm unlikely to find a BNIB pair for less of that...but I'm having a hard time justifying the price. My most expensive pair is a pair of Trickers wingtips that I paid $300 for, and even that was a mental barrier.

been wanting some different glasses lately since i only have one pair i wear. Went and tried some frames on today, i really liked these ones:

they are seraphin by ogi. made in japan, and relatively inexpensive for decent frames.

yes or no?

Anyone?

^^ Definitely no if it's out of your price range. Can do much better.

These are nice, do they come in another colorway? I think something black would look better with your outfits.

jwied82 · Oct 15, 2010

they come in a black/clear also (the ones im trying on are tortoise/green):

Black frames seem good in theory for me, but never quite seem to work on my face.
