My Dillard’s box came fully intact, dust bag, and everything. This bag is so pretty. This is my second Brooklyn and I think I’m done. I have an olive. I have a suede and a leather. I ripped the box open sprayed it to add extra protection and waited and took her out to mean streets of the big apple 🍎

Some people say I look like Villains in Italian Films, So really?

Here are some recent outfits mixing trad basics with vintage outdoor pieces — my own take on what I'd call "heavy ivy."

Spring in Seoul means 5°C mornings and 18°C afternoons, so most of these are about easy layering — throw an outdoor shell over trad basics and you're set.

Found this suit on sale at Macy’s, it’s not wool but I figure with a good tailor job I won’t be far above what it would’ve cost me to rent for an upcoming wedding. Thinking I’ll have the waist taken in slightly but I would appreciate some additional opinions, especially regarding the shoulders. Strangely enough my right side in first photo appears to have a more pronounced divot but overall I don’t think it’s enough to bother messing with. Does this jacket fit me well enough pre-alteration?

How does this trench coat sit on me? It's my first time owning one. My biggest concern is that the armpits sit incredibly low on me. Is it noticeable?

Brand is London Fog (from the 90s/early 2000s), size 40 REG (around M/L).
