That's why you have a coat that goes over your sports jacket/blazer/suit jacket/whatever. An...overcoat. Also, at -35c that's not going to keep you warm at all. All the heat gets let out since it doesn't cover half your chest and seems pretty loose letting all the warmth out the bottom.

I might ask the same thing about your jacket.
The answer is no to both. That's why you have a nice suit jacket or blazer. Made of wool/tweed/etc. Not ripstop.
LOL, you're not keeping it on indoors. It's just for outside, it's a coat not a blazer. Silly.

HAHA thank you. I was always curious about those things on ebay, they seemed so damn cheap! I was going to have a gander sooner or later but it all makes sense now.
If you're going to walk into a fancy restaurant wearing a blazer, it might as well be a proper one.
Get a long coat to throw over top.
If you were to, say, wear a blazer underneath the jacket you just bought, you're pretty much this guy:
You're cool with your jacket, and that's fine. You're the one who has to wear it, in the end.

i don't think it looks bad (rafaello network takes terrible images, and i have a soft spot for prada & nylon yeah i said it), but I see that and think super casual. shrug.
moncler gamma bleu is doing stuff like this that looks pretty good in a stealth-formal way but it makes prada look cheap and is hard to find period.
Do you live at the North Pole?
Personally, I don't like either of the coats posted on
Fair enough, but some of his justifications were hilariously bad.

The coat has buttons up to the collar, it's a winter coat. I don't understand why I would wear a winter coat indoors?

i can't hate on random purchases, I have plenty of clothing that looks hideous without any wardrobe context (or shit internets pics) or my irl swag
oh and people need to keep in mind this is prada & nylon (one of the things they did and still do well) and rafaello network. site could make anything look cheap and junky.

If you post it in this thread, I'm assuming it's to show it off or get opinions. If you get clowned for dressing like a fool, it's your own damn fault.

That's it's a damn winter coat and I won't go anywhere fancy with a sky suit?

That is exactly it. There is no universal rule on "how to dress", besides being tidy and clean. I'm sorry, but you are not the end all on fashion opinions. He bought a coat he liked, and posted it here. If you want to give him opinions, you can do much better than calling him a clown. Tell him maturely and he might actually listen.

guilty for what
No, that you'd go into a fancy restaurant wearing the jacket you or Alucrid posted.
It also looks like a shoddy winter coat. I'm from Canada though, so take that with a grain of, "holy shit, winter's cold here." Unless you intent to pop the collar (ugh) all the time, that's not going to keep you warm. Please tell me it's down or something.

No worries, I'm used to comments like that here. I wouldn't be caught wearing 90% of the things people post here anyways. We don't have the same bodies and "pulling off" an item is different for everyone. Though I don't find your critics to be substantiated at all. I got shit for saying a purple sweater didn't suit a guy well, that it made him look older.

I guess I'm not sure why that coat is acceptable in a fancy place when other, more traditional winter coats, aren't.
To me, that coat just seems like trying to force an aesthetic that doesn't blend with the actual function of the coat which makes it look a little goofy.

For spending millions on clothes and not donating anything to charity.
Do you ever feel guilty for going into threads and causing shit?
Maybe you'll follow suit like your self-concerned spat in the Real Pic January thread and buy into what we're posting about and end up better dressed than you are now.

It all depends on the context, I have other jackets too. The places I go are usually "Hotel W" (if that's an explanation) style restaurants. So it's youngish formal. I live in Canada too.

Mackage does occasionally make some good dressy down shit.Then you should support your Canadian bros

I think we've established that we're clearly into different types of fashion. You're of a much more highbrow (not saying that's bad) brand than I. Context is key and now I find your jacket much more of an acceptable choice.

Like I explained before, I have more than one coat. This one is for particular activities that I have. It's not meant to go play in the snow.

I'm not claiming to be the end all on fashion I'm opinions. I'm merely stating that this is a Fashion thread on a DISCUSSION FORUM, where opinions of all kinds will be represented. I happen to think the jacket looks like crap and wouldn't wear it even if it were given to me as a gift. I think it's hideous and tacky. If I was 13 years old I might think it's cool, but I'm not and it isn't.

Well this fall is supposed to be sharks as per their 2012-2013 collection preview. At least I like their shoes and suits.

since we are obsessing over this coat, what do you plan on wearing with it? just building an image in my head.

Probably a suit with a t-shirt underneath instead of a shirt and tie, and a scarf so not to show the layering as it would be tacky IMO.

So, what do you guys think of these shoes then? I'm looking for a casual pair to wear with jeans and a blazer.

Not bad but the white portion (name is eluding me right now) is too thick. 25% less would be perfect.

std lanvin captoes are probably the dressiest sneakers out there, definitely meant for blazer/pants. i dig em but i go for more sporty sneakers generally.
Something in the toebox looks off to me, maybe it looks a bit too snub-like. Other wise they would work. A nice pair of dress boots or oxfords would too.

it may be more serious, but is it as fierce?
