Thoughts on These Smoking Jackets?

[Maximus Rex]

I got one. It's Black on Black with a Black silk liner and silk lined pockets. stitched cuffed, real simple but dope. I only wear that mofo on rainy days when I know for a fact that I'm in the house for a while. that way I can get that super player relax on with the Cigars, Brandy and Kush.

Do you have something similar ^^^^^?

I feel you @MaximusRex it takes a REAL player to recognize what real players like.

This what cats don't understand, the intricacies involved in game recognizing game. It's kinda like being in a secret society. As a cigar smoker, when you're smoking a cigar on the street, fellow "Brothers of the Leaf," will acknowledge in the street. When you're dressed right, people will want to fuck with, especially white people. White dudes will be like, "His suit fits, he's showing and inch of cuff, he has on dope pocket square. Dude's alright, let me find out a little more about him." Dudes need to stop reaching for the lowest common denominator and try to reach for something a little bit higher.

Similar but no belt, I got buttons, and the only stitching I have is on the cuffs. and the lapels are just smooth.

 

[Maximus Rex]

I like the buttons, it's smooth look, but there's just some really pimpish about the belt and the double breasted shit. You should wear you shit out to the club or the nudey bar. The good part is the jacket will open bitches for you, the bad part is bitches will come up to you with their nasty ass hands tryin' to touch all on your velvet smoking jacket. You got the ascot, playa?

 

[SneakDZA]

you really wearing ascots and smoking jackets?

you trying to get that invisible man swag or what?

Not yet. I have wait until there's a really nice day.

 

[twatgetta]

@MaximusRex TBT mine was passed down to me by my late Uncle who was into that fancy shit. I need to buy one of my own just to kick it in because I rarely wear the one my Unc left me. it's sentimental and I don't wanna burn no weed holes in it...lol

my nigga, you put one on next time ya gal fall thru and watch how intrigued with questions she get. it's a convo starter with females fasho.

This is undoubtedly the fliest piece of clothing that I've ever bought and the fit of the jacket is phenomenal. After trying the jacket on, it just solidified my thoughts on made-to-measure suits. Instead of buying the latest J's, get something that will last a little bit longer, make you look fly as fuck, and has lasting value, get yourself a made-to-measure suit and if you're caked up like that go the bespoke route.



FYI, one of the marks of quality suit is working buttons. Back in the day muthafuckas just didn't take their coats or jackets off, it just wasn't proper etiquette. For example, you're a doctor and you needed to perform a surgical procedure, instead of taking your coat off, you'd just unbutton the sleeves on your coat and roll up the sleeves. As time went on designers just left the buttons on the coats and jackets. With bespoke, made-to-measure, and higher end suits, there's working buttons on coats and jackets and you're suppose to leave the lowest button on coat or jacket unbuttoned. If you have a off-the-rack suit, when you're having your suit adjusted, make sure you have the little old Asian lady at the dry cleaners open up your pockets, your the lapel button, and give you working buttons on your jacket sleeves.



Fuck Versace, Gucci, and Louis. Rex would rather has HIS name in his clothes.



Pimpin' WAAAY to hard.

@Maximus Rex that shit right on homie. When I was a kid my mother used to make me and my brothers suit and put "Especially handmade by Martha" in the collar

 

[Maximus Rex]

@Maximus Rex that shit right on homie

Thanks potna. Glad you were in b4 those hatin'-huggin-the-block-waaay-to-hard, niggas," who refuse to grow up and think that anything that has a semblance of taste and class is "white." As if the dominant society has a monopoly on taste and class.

 

[king hassan]

Man I remember on the IC a few years back niggas was saying it was gay to use an umbrella in the rain, niggas was like they'll just rock a hoodie, WTF

 

[water ur seeds]

If Im at home, I would rather kick back and smoke with no top on and a pair of basketball shorts, fck wearing a big chunky jacket, even if it looks pimped out...

That shit is trying waaaaayyyyy too hard. I'm all for dressing up when the occasion calls for it. M-TH at work is professional attire. Casual Fridays at work are usually met with a bowtie, spread collar shirt, and some J. Crew/Express slacks and loafers, but a smoking jacket??? So you can look like a pimp?? What type of basic broad is wowed by that?? Bespoke suits is something I fuck with. (www.indochino.com, the urban gentleman blog, etc.) but a smoking jacket is extra. Openly admitting that you wear them to gain the favor of White folks is disgusting, but to each his own, pimp. I believe that dressing a certain way helps you stand out in terms of how you're seen, but there is something to be said about being gaudy.

you better cop the matching slippers

 

[optimistic]

pardon my ignorance on the subject, but aren't smoking jackets meant to be worn at home? If you're planning on wearing that shit to the club doesn't it kinda defeat the purpose? you're still gonna smell like smoke

 

[Maximus Rex]

pardon my ignorance on the subject, but aren't smoking jackets meant to be worn at home?

Yes and no. A smoking jacket is meant to worn in a smoking room when cigar or pipe is going on. A smoking room can be located in a home or a gentleman's club, (not a nudey bar, but an actual private club. Think Augusta National if they have a smoking room.

If you're planning on wearing that shit to the club doesn't it kinda defeat the purpose? you're still gonna smell like smoke

This is assuming that you can even find a club in America that you can smoke in considering that most places ban indoor smoking. Anyway, I this muthafucka the other day and I got like four compliments. The firs was from a white girl that was definitely choosin', however, I was so caught in buying my tickets for Cap and I didn't realize what was going on until she was up the street.

Calm down nigga it's just a jacket.
