Awful. Just terrible. Send it to me.

Seriously though, beige herringbone? Swag as fuck.

Please give us a picture with the zipper done up so we can have something to complain about in terms of fit.

[–]kinoflo[S] 33 points34 points ago

It looks kind of weird with the zipper up, lol

[–]sgt_shizzles 92 points93 points ago

Goddammit it fits nigh perfectly.

And this was just some lucky thrift? You geographically privileged motherfucker.

[–]Ignazio_Polyp 8 points9 points ago

Wow I have never seen this kind of reception on MFA... Loving it..

[–]northkoreanaccent 7 points8 points ago

Weird as in it bends at the hips?

[–]Mozzy 18 points19 points ago

This is probably just me, but I find that nearly all zip-up jackets look weird once they're zipped up. I always, unless it's terribly cold, wear my zip-ups open.

[–]night_owl 4 points5 points ago

I'm gradually trying to eliminate all zippers from my wardrobe for this reason. Buttons to the grave motherfuckers

[–]slightlynormal 2 points3 points ago

It's not just you, I'm the same way. I grew up in Florida, though, so maybe it's a weather thing?

[–]HailToTheVictors 0 points1 point ago

I grew up in Michigan. Same deal, just a heavier coat.

[–]NotCleverConsistent Contributor 1 point2 points ago

IMO it's a thing that happens with any ribbed hem jacket. They're kinda made to do that. If you get a jacket without a ribbed hem it shouldn't have a reason to bunch up like that unless it's really tight at the waist.

[–]elliot_smelliot -2 points-1 points ago

The only thing I would point out is the sleeves are a bit long and kinda bunch up around the wrist

[–]AlGoreVidalSassoonConsistent Contributor 37 points38 points ago

Looks great, man. That's a really nice jacket. Where'd you get it?

[–]kinoflo[S] 28 points29 points ago

It was a thrift store grab. The tag says it's from Standard Cloth. Can't find it online anywhere... sorry.

[–]Wormhog 2 points3 points ago

It's a cool jacket and it works on you. Good find.

[–]kinoflo[S] 0 points1 point ago

It's from Banana Republic. Although, it was much cheaper in store because of a sale going on. I believe I paid $30 for it.

[–]trusso[!] 21 points22 points ago*

My google fu says that "Standard Cloth" is an Urban Outfitter's brand. I don't know how to decode their tags, but I found one in a darker shade in XL on e-bay, if that's your thing.

edit: Whoops! Turns out the above jacket is M-65 styled, and the OP's jacket is not. Still--I'd say if you're looking for OP's jacket, it's made by urban outfitters.

[–]TheWolfster 2 points3 points ago

There are jackets that are close to that design/color (even by the same brand) but don't have the same pocket placement as OP's jacket. Something about the placement of those two front pockets works really well, as opposed to standard bomber jacket pocket placement.

[–]thisguy012 1 point2 points ago

And collective screams from MFA today. . .

[–]Marsupian 17 points18 points ago

The close up on the texture makes me all wet, pretty nice jacket.

btw. I second the closed zipper notion, we need something to bitch at so we can all go home feeling superior like we should :).

[–]toychristopher 15 points16 points ago

Why do you have my jacket? Please return it.

[–]theineffablebob 86 points87 points ago

I see an avocado

[–]Inssight 18 points19 points ago

Well done

[–]FalcorFett 15 points16 points ago

And it looks equally important.

[–]ithika 0 points1 point ago

Scaramouche, scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?

[–]Jardun 1 point2 points ago

Bravo sir.

[–]Totesboats 4 points5 points ago

Wheeeere did you get that?

[–]rfurrer91 6 points7 points ago

I want haha

[–]MolestedRubberDucky 9 points10 points ago

It's so beautiful...

[–]WingsOfHeaven 4 points5 points ago

Well, I guess I will have to go against the tide of universal opinion here. The fit is good.

But, there are just too many pockets. It looks like there's far too much stuff going on. That's my take.

[–]night_owl 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, I agree. I don't like the cut, the pockets, and the racer collar, but I absolutely love the herringbone (and it fits well for a thrift store find).

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points ago

What jeans are you wearing?

[–]PretntiousIlliterate 5 points6 points ago

Would very much like to know where you got it. Dapper like no other, good sir.

[–]soyveh 1 point2 points ago

Gorgeous. You and the jacket.

[–]jjdwjr 3 points4 points ago

I have this same jacket. Urban Outfitters two years ago

[–]browncoat17 1 point2 points ago

definitely working for ya

[–]Ledatru 1 point2 points ago

Sweet jacket

[–]Bravissimo 0 points1 point ago

dope!

[–]Syric 1 point2 points ago

Could you show us what the back looks like? That is fly as hell.

[–]cmbezln 1 point2 points ago

Looks really good

[–]catalinawinemixer 2 points3 points ago

Nice collar. You look like Cesc Fabregas from the side.

[–]whatsonmymindgrapes 1 point2 points ago

Adam Scott?

[–]sakalamp 1 point2 points ago

Your ensemble made me want to comment!! what are your jeans and shoes?

I have a wintery jacket similar to yours, but it has toggles and kind of makes me look heftier than what I am.

[–]kinoflo[S] 4 points5 points ago

Jeans are from pacsun, the Dillon fit, actually. 2 for $60 and they fit well. Shoes are CDBs.

[–]binary 1 point2 points ago

That herringbone is killer.

[–]jaredburgin 0 points1 point ago

You look good!

[–]marcdaniel 0 points1 point ago

Very very nice

[–]roidsrus 1 point2 points ago

Thumbs up.

[–]rbodnicki 0 points1 point ago

Works really well. I really like the close up. Shows a whole different feel to the jacket that you don't receive from a distance.

[–]bigfatdanman 1 point2 points ago

wouldwear/10

[–]dradiscontact 1 point2 points ago

Good choice.

[–]zhou707 1 point2 points ago

[–]pandatits 1 point2 points ago

[–]agricolae -1 points0 points ago

[–]NotCleverConsistent Contributor 1 point2 points ago

I just want to say that's an astonishingly good picture for a camera phone.

[–]jmccee 1 point2 points ago

You look great. Love the jacket.

[–]xDRC86x 0 points1 point ago

baller.

[–]jackthebro 0 points1 point ago

Fucking love it

[–]rcktsquirrel07 0 points1 point ago

sexy

[–]ptrbConsistent Contributor -1 points0 points ago

IMO the chest pockets ruin it, and it's got a bad drape on you, but other than that it's nice enough.

[–]jdubw 1 point2 points ago

Looks cool.

[–]thesorrow312 -2 points-1 points ago

Boss jacket man.

[–]ptfreak 0 points1 point ago

Never take that off

[–]toat 0 points1 point ago

Dude, that jawn is boss as shit. Kudos on a great thrift find.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

looks ok to me. It's a bit different, but that's what makes it unique.

[–]joemac5367 -3 points-2 points ago

Did anyone else read that as "Onions on this jacket" at first glance??
