I stared at your legs for about 10 seconds before I realized what was going on, so I think this is a valid critique. It gives the impression that you're trying to hide the fact that you're wearing knickers, which is crazier than wearing knickers.


Also, Brinbro, shut the **** up about sleeve length already. You have no clue what you're talking about. Thanks

I actually agree with dude, I've been wanting to get the cuffs on that Rick made smaller so they stack instead of going past my hand for awhile. The long sleeves bother me to no end when I'm trying to hold things in my hand, which is quite often.

I'm on the fence about this one. I feel like in person there is probably enough texture there to distinguish, without being ostentatious. Contrasting colors might be too much. I did stare at his legs for a long time, too, but I think it may be the image quality.

I have a jacket like this, which is why I hate it so much, it's an Odyn Vovk leather and the sleeves are like an inch too long. It drives me irrationally crazy and makes me self conscious, luckily they look good cuffed a half inch which helps but I'd like to not have to wear it like that.

PaulYAY, what exactly am I wrong about? Settle down.

The knickers are a softer wool while the socks are a thin ribbed cotton. Trust me there is no way I'm hiding the fact that I stepped out onto the streets of downtown Baltimore in them. There's just no indication of a lot of the textures that were going on in that fit unfortunately. I need to figure out how to take better indoor pictures of myself I'm afraid.

I've done both (contrast vs. non); they both have their place.

Dude, we don't need more pictures of jackets with sleeves that are too long to be practical in this thread. It's nice that you think they look good in the pictures, and all that designer intention stuff is nice and silhouette blah blah, but really it's stupid and some of the people at SZ must never use their hands. Keep in mind I wasn't even talking specifically RO, or even leather jackets, it happens with a ton of outerwear and even knits around here and it just looks bad.

Regarding your pictures again, some of those aren't even too long, but when it starts interfering with your dexterity and motor functions it's safe to say you're a fashion victim.
