No hate, but this literally looks like a costume from a made for tv science fiction movie from the early 80s.

Of course they do. It's not like I'd only wear tapered skinny jeans. I just don't like Acne's 'Mic' cut in particular, though. 'Thin Finn' is a pretty unattractive cut, too, if you ask me. Especially the back pocket placement never ceases to freak me out. If you're a rather skinny dude who's looking for a cut that doesn't accentuate your legs negatively but is yet slim enough to look flattering on you I'd consider - as previously mentioned - the 'Max' or 'Roc' cut... http://shop.acnestudios.com/shop/men...ash-12368.html http://shop.acnestudios.com/shop/men.../roc-cash.html

burberry markup is not at all excessive compared to other brands (you think burberry is marked up more than mmm or jil??)... the quality is not bad. its just that the styling is very plain.

Proxy, or not to proxy, that is the question... It looks slightly better in the TheCorner pictures somehow. Plus I was assuming that the epaulettes were 'fixed'. Hmm...
