If someone will buy this for me I promise to never wear it outside.

The links provided in this thread remind me of the quote about fashion being a form of style that is so intolerable, so it must be changed every six months.

From the lower part of his face, I thought it was Keanu Reeves, in his role as Neo, from the _Matrix_ films.

From what I’ve heard of Keanu, and his chosen lifestyle, though, I doubt he’d be likely to own one of those.

I’d wear it if it had buttons or snaps…I don’t like the zipper. I actually have a similar coat, I wouldn’t pay $6,500 for it.

But then again…I have a few disco shirts I wear that could be described as looking like a test pattern, or gift wrap. And double knit bell bottoms, floral patterned pants, Beatle boots, as well as ridiculously pointy shoes that I can’t wear while driving. I wear what I like. But that price is too much.

I wore a blue and gray stripped t-shirt with normal straight cut jeans, and tennis shoes, and all day had people commenting that they had never seen me dressed so casually.
