Sometimes you should look very close before you buy. I saw this great suit at Shiki, one quick glance and the jacket hooked me and kerching the lindens were in the till. Threw it on and discovered the pants were knee length, its a Japanese store and that seems to be the trend with many of their designers. Still the jacket was uber cool, even if had cost me a fair bit.Then i had a surge of inspiration, a bit of tweaking and maybe i could wear the full suit too. Wearing the pants with some cool long black socks meant that i could black out the flesh to give the impression of longer length. Next I adjusted the prim turn up [cuffs to the Yankee vocabulary] so they sat just above the cool Martin boots. With scripted lace colouring I set that to red to match the detail on the jacket collar and we were in business, a sophisticated ska/skinhead influenced look; coupled with the fishtail parka it screamed modernist.
