    Re: Yes or No?

    I agree with mass especially considering where the pockets are placed relative to the waistline. For a long coat I just don't think this works on you. It still looks good and the coat is stunning but for the price I think you can do better. However it may wear totally different when not posed.

      Yes. The silhoutte is similar to Todd Lynn but the execution is certainly not.

          It could just be the cellphone pic, but the pockets seem to exaggerate your hips, and it doesn't appear particularly flattering. It's not bad, I'm just not sure it's good enough to be worth it.

            I understand what you're saying but, it's not a traditional coat. CCP tailoring is very sharp and slim. The pockets are meant to be higher as well as the button stance and acentuates the waist. I think the proportion is right for PNod. It is probably the camera angle.

              Here's a similar coat.

                /\ I was just going to say that it might be the camera angle. The pocket placement on that coat is fucking awesome. I love the higher setting. Can't find anything wrong with the coat, with the exception of the sharp shift in the silhouette through the waist. It opens up again beautifully though, so I imagine its the angle of the shot. Got any more photos? Cuz at $3k with that pic alone I'd have to say no. I bet that shit looks wicked as fuck unbuttoned though.



                Edit: It seems to be clinging on your right (our left) side from the underarm to the waist. Doesn't appear to be doing so on your left.

                  maybe it's the different height between the 2 wear-erz &/or stance (if it's not the same coat)... where the top button hits in pnod's photo seems to be above the elbow (even if just slightly) whereas in the photo awlouie posted it's right at or even below, which i think makes a huge difference and is much more flattering. of course it could also be the angle.... x:

                    Pnuts, that coat is sick, but not baller enough. Get the parachute version.

                      P- [Y] that coat is wonderful. I really dig the sharp silhouette contrasted with the brushed cotton material. It seems to be a perfect spring/summer coat. If you don't have a coat like this already you should get it.

                        Looks really good, Pgnarly. The price makes me go "eh", but I'm cheap and shop at like Gap 'n stuff.

                            asho, if there was a way to try them on before purchase, yes, would love to support you.



                            thanks for all the great replies, this decision is not getting any easier. i wish i had a pic w it unbuttoned + or w hands in pockys, the vibe is def. more punk, less formal. i wonder if mr. lowrey has seen this in person and his thoughts...

                            One wonders where it will end, when everything has become gay.

                              thankyou very much. The potential to have them included in a baller outfit could justify a personal fitting on its own...

                                You just sold me on the coat without additional pics, but I happen to trust your taste. Did you happen try sizing up to check the fit? If so, how was it in your estimation?
