RAWscore - the hit or miss fit and combo space

[Megatron1505]

It does need breaking in, still like armour. The beauty of a jacket like this though is that it gives you years to do exactly that.

[louisbosco]

yeah after the breaking it, it'll probably look better. though i dont fancy the collar, i've been looking around for something like that albeit without that collar..

I mean this in the nicest way but is the real theme of this thread 'I have spent [hundreds OR thousands DELETE AS APPLICABLE] of dollars on my clothes but I am still not sure how to dress properly?

Rocket looks fine to me.

[rocket]

yep  ;)…. and alone for the fact, that it made you posting something, totally worth starting it... and I do mean this in the most nicest way....

it can be a fun space and it can be of helpfull input for these cases when... depending how you wanna play... up to you guys....

IH Sweatshirt, 40's pea coat (red silk thread used to sew buttons back on + paint stain :P), my best fitting jeans(IMO), green elephant western boots…  Does it work?

[Snowy]

The color of the boots throws it the most. Likely just a personal thing, not over-all tho.

The stacking on the jeans looks a little off to me..

Cuff the jeans, change the boots and re-post

This thread gave me an idea. This forum supports voting yes? Well, here are some ideas:

A yea / nay / comment thing where we can post fits that uses the polling feature

A WAYWT "competition" where we can post fit pics from every day over an interval  (a week, a month, whatever) and have the community vote on a winner. Perhaps there's a prize?

There could even be WAYWT featuring specific items of clothing, a competition to see who rocks an item the best according to the collective tastes of the IHF.

Just spitballin, but to me these fall in line with ideas to freshen up the forum and stimulate more conversation…

[Clint_D]

I'm liking this idea. Maybe we could take up a small collection for some sort of prize?

I agree with snowy on the color of the boots. Actually not even sure i like cowboy boots with a Pcoat at all. Also dont like the hoody under the coat lol. Dumbs down a "dressier" coat

[sabergirl]

I'm with you on the hoody under the pea coat. Doesn't look right.

Hmmmm….  Lots of food for thought. Thanks snowy, Pillow, Saber.
This is pretty fun, will try again…

I'm a little late, but I'm with the others about the hoody. It doesn't work with the peacoat.

Hooded shirts can go well with cafe racer style jackets, but with coats and certain flight jackets they just don't look right for me.

^  Disagree on the hoody.  I like 'em under pea coats.  Not a fan of the cowboy boots, however.

Yeah wish I had something recent/new to post. Will look once my feet touch the ground soon. Might just post one in the birkies to see what people really think…not that it'll change my mind of it being practical, but am interested..

Haha

OK, I'll have a go… some more double denim. TW05 and 666UHR.

[4c]

Arms look a little long, but all else looks great IMO.

[pillowPANTS]

Looks good. Do up the snaps on the cuffs and the arms wont look as long.

[el padre]

You're both right, of course, the arms are too long. But I love the colour and the weight and, well, everything else. Don't know any alternative shirts like this one. And I don't like buttoning long arms as I've got a thing about weird arm-stacks. Considered a medieval rack but I have my 86 to think of too.

How much compromising is too much? How do you all decide when, however much you want an item to work, it just doesn't?
