The Kitsuné 2 Button Suit

[brandonbrandon]

I've just come across this piece and wanted everyone's opinions. From the pictures, the fit seems like it could be quite nice if you're into shorter cuts but I'm ambivalent about the type of cloth used. But because I'm aware that KitsunÃ

is more of a street label I'm not expecting Napless tailoring/fabric out of it. Still a cool looking piece nonetheless, price is a bit much though... Thoughts? *Photos from Tres Bien Shop.

The abbreviated jacket makes him look like he's outgrown it. Not a fan.

I think the look goes with the hair.

I wasn't into that kmd but thanks for the suggestion.

The fact they use an 'unconventional' model for their fits is appealing, something every designer should start implementing into their work.

Very unconventional, but not in an expensive way. I envision it appropriate at an off-chelsea art show.

Looks like a school uniform to my eyes.

Not a fan. Way too much like Thom Browne, but with patch pockets.

Can't see why this rag-like garment is worth any bandwidth. The style is dreadful - looks as if he got caught in a rain shower and it shrank. The pictures do not reveal quality but I suspect that you are buying the label not quality.

KitsunÃ

makes some really nice pieces. Quality is good for what is essentially a fashion brand. Much of it is made in France (extremely rare these days for non-couture) and they collaborate with "heritage brands" like Saint James so that's commendable, to my mind.

I quite like this suit; nice colour and the trousers are a decent cut. I don't mind short jackets (even in "classic mens clothing" I prefer to stray on the shorter side rather than too long) but the length is a very fashion thing and will affect the suit's longevity (though I expect you know that).

What is it with bizarre looking models though? This is a handsome fellow but his hair looks like botched topiary. Oki-Ni has a perfectly nice E Tautz jacket sported by a poor sod with a 32 inch chest and a 25.5 inch waist!
