Got this jacket at a thrift shop earlier and for $35, figured I could do something with it. The jacket is a kind of waxed canvas with some interesting details and kinda fitted, which is nice.




My only issue is with a kind of odd vent in the back, that ends up looking kinda poofy on me because I have broad shoulders and a slimmish waist (drop 8):




A couple fit pics:

dnna, don't take me as a jealous dude. However, you splurge money left and right but I don't see anything cohesive here, just a lot of money thrown around in too many directions. Your fits are a testament of this..I dunno maybe I'm too focused on a singular defining style per person, and don't like seeing people look like fashion sluts but I feel in your case you don't really know what you want? Maybe I'm wrong its just based on fit pics it seems like you try to jumble everything together and it becomes too big of a mess. Maybe I'm not as risky, but I dunno...


maybe I'm being too harsh cuz I am seeing expensive **** being bought, in the end its all experimenting till we find what works I guess.

I still don't get the Stark love. They look awkward on most people, and don't feel that great.


Not much to get, just a decent beater that is nice and warm. People look awkward when they wear it thinking it's a standout piece.

Why do you care so much?

I love how you are on a personal crusade to defend goth ninja bullshit. Nobody ever gives a **** or takes it this personal when delving into any other aesthetic except you insecure ***** from sz.

you're actually taking my comments way too serious, they are the product of someone over buzzed on coffee looking to have an excuse to not study for a final. However, in the end we all care too much by default since we post on a fashion site, and we *** the minute a promo code is posted.

See what I don't get is that every criticism has something to do with the price. If its a fit thing, then say that, and I can understnd that. But who cares how expensive the outfit was. It is not like I am spending money I don't have on this stuff, or all my money. It seems like people's, Lane especially, are mainly based on jealousy. Maybe not, but it seems like it.

Because spending $5000 to look bad is way more disagreeable than spending $500 to look bad.

I think "jealousy" may be an element, but it's not in the "I wish I had that stuff" way as much as it is "oh my god those awesome things are being worn so terribly my soul hurts."
