"AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION. NOW NOW this is it people, these are the brands no one fucking knows and people are like WTF. they do everything by hand in their freaking secret basement and shit."
Here's the Jil Sander jacket I decided to get despite some "nay's" in "yes or no" [:P]
I like how it looks suble but the cut, material, and construction is funky. The material is very light yet warm, the wool band at the bottom is very wide and fits snugly around the waist and the jacket material comes down over most of the band (same with cuffs) As you can see here:
I like it, the sleeves look just a bit loose though? but maybe its not even meant to be that slim fitting

Yea, the arms are big and it has a dropped shoulder. It's cut like an upsidedown triangle on the inside, very big shoulders and arm holes but then it tapers down to where the wool band at the bottom is quite snug, but since the jacket doubles over the wool band it doesn't look as slim at the bottom as it feels from the inside. If I took a smaller size (this is 36) I think the wool band would cut off circulation to my torso, but as it is now it's really nice and warm, like wearing a big wool cummerbund under there. I guess it really isn't that voluminous, but it's bigger then what I'm used to which is cool.
Nice.
It actually looks better on you than on the runway photo. You probably wouldn't have gotten so many 'nay's with this one :)
On the other hand, maybe it's just me, but I think the way you are standing up makes your jeans look slightly weird (on all of your photos).
It feels like your feet are slightly too opened up while your legs are close together.
Compare your photos with the photos on the Julius 2007 S/S thread, and you'll notice that the models are either keeping their feet closer to parallel, or bent one knee when opening up the feet.
I just feel like you'll look much more natural just by adjusting your stance a little bit.
