TylerDurden389 Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 If I was a size 40, not only would I buy that right now, but I'd drive there to pick it up (Sebring is maybe 3 hours away from me). Anyway, I got a new jacket but it looks/fits kinda weird. It says it's 100% linen but the way it both looks and feels reminds me more of a robe, lol. Wasn't expensive and it does fit me well, plus it's super light, but it's very casual looking (Which I guess is good if I wanna rock it with a t-shirt and slacks). Any idea how to get this thing looking sharp? Somehow I think ironing/pressing it like a traditional suit is not an option, lol. Also, I have another jacket coming in, hopefully tomorrow, that's also 100% linen, but it looks nothing like this one regarding the material. I'll report on that later. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressing the sleeve cuffs and the pocket openings could help a great deal already. You could also try pressing the lapels in the collar area (and only there) in such a way that the lapel rolls from the button, rather than from just below your chest. Not sure if that would work though, because that shape heavily depends on the collar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiamiVibe is right about the shoulder pad part, but if you did want to try for the look in the photo below, I’m sure you could find some removable shoulder pads with Velcro (or something non-damaging). My mom had those in the 80s I didn't even know this was a thing, I'll look into it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had forgotten this from so long ago, but there were removable shoulder pads back then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrQuiche Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 Managed to wear my black pair a couple of times already, they look really good but they definetly are harder to find than the tortoise. Yours look really minty i must admit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerDurden389 Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 Doing another random jacket search, using eBay for the first time in a long time, and came across this little diddy: https://www.ebay.com/itm/276458261760?itmmeta=01HXJ7P8A3HSHBX3SZ4H3X8VRF&hash=item405e324d00:g:cQkAAOSwIaVl02sF Title says my size, 36S, but the description says "Size type: Regular". Price is a steal if it actually is 100% linen ($20 + $10 shipping) , but I'll inquire about the item's proper size first. What do you guys think? Reminds me a bit of the one Don wore in in season 1 (I forget which episode) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you remove the quote from your post for the “interested bidder”? If you don’t want to it’s fine—just a request. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
