Not sure what constitutes Friday, but here's what I wore today. Taken in the faculty bathroom at my elementary school.

Shirt 50 bucks tailored in Itaewon. Hat 150? bucks from the local men's store in Merilville Indiana. EDIT: Jacket (how did I forget this) 150ish at uniqlo Scarf ??? gift from mom. Tie 40 bucks from some hole in the wall between city hall station and myeongdong. Sweater ??? gift from mom. Doubt it's that expensive. Chinos from Uniqlo 50 bucks Shoes and socks aren't pictured, but the socks match the tie if you're curious. They didn't make the size of the bathroom mirror.
I won't comment on the rest but I think that the high buttoning point on uniqlo jackets isn't very flattering for your build.

I really like everything from the waist up, the coat fits you well and has a very nice overall look.

Thanks.

Thanks. I've had lots of disasters with local tailors here, but I am very happy with this jacket. Out of the $73, about 1/3 is fabric, 1/3 leather coated buttons and 1/3 tailoring.

That bad? And yeah, I wish the buttons were a bit lower. I'll keep my out for that in the future. Broke right now though. Got out of a messy breakup with a hagwon that resulted in the police trying to find the guy, and me out like 7 grand.

Oh no, it's not really "that bad". I just think other posters can detail other stuff and likely no one would comment on the button stance. Guess that bit of bad news for you makes me feel a little more fortunate that I "only" lost my wallet and brand new Galaxy S earlier in the month. Korea isn't too kind sometimes

I feel like your jacket looks shrunken. To me it also makes you look heavy. If you don't mind, how tall are you and how much do you weigh?

Yeah, but I try to keep it in perspective. The same job that fucked me was how I met some new friends. As for losing phones, I know someone who lost theirs on a beach and an old korean lady actually went so far as to mail it back to him.

Keeping it on subject... all looks good someother. I can't comment much on fit since you're seated, but nothing seems to be bunching up badly or the such.

It's amazing how much decent photos bring up a look too. PG is pro at making what he's wearing look good (not that it doesn't otherwise.) Reminds me of this - http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/do...y-by-accident/

Agreed. It's tough to do well. No one's really been able to pull it off since Nehru. And he went all the way.



So did these guys:
