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

I am pretty sure I definitely like it.

Sports Coat from El Gatso. Like the fit, but not sure about the elbow patches. Bought the other day, considering returning today...

It's good if you're a college professor

Depending on your budget, I think you can do better for a sport coat. Try Suitsupply. The cut and make on that gray jacket looks a bit cheap.

Didn't get much feedback from the leather jacket thread. Should I keep or return this Schott Perfecto?

Another thing to consider is the pockets on the blazer. I'm not a fan of patch pockets on a blazer unless it is really casual a la Barena or like Robert Geller's Richard jacket.

They look a little big to me on that jacket too. I'm not sure what look you're going for but if it's a little more on the dressed up side you might want to check with the Classic Menswear forum too. Most people on this forum dress really casually.

Thanks, am returning it tomorrow. Nice fit, but the elbow patches are way OTT. I can understand them on a functional coat that you wear day in day out at work, but on a casual number they just seem daft.

It's great. Keep it and look after it, you can wear it for life.

I want this Versace shirt from the '80s. It's on ebay UK with a BIN price of £250, which I think is somewhat ambitious. IMHO the collectors won't want it, and very few people would actually want to wear it. If it was auctioned I reckon it'd fetch £80 at the most. Does everyone hate it? (I just know I would wear it all the time.)

It fits in the i think it looks amazing, but there is no way i'd wear it category

 

[elmore]

Heh, was going to post similar. Wonderful shirt, but i'd look a prize tit in it. Think you might have to be a member of a Columbian drug cartel to rock that.

Nobody in the US wears shirts like mine! Even in San Francisco the Europeans can spot me from a mile away. Where I live in Brixton there's such a blend of exotic cultures and so much weed being smoked that all notions of an English dress code have evaporated. Anything goes. Absolutely anything.
