Interesting, thanks for the heads-up. In fact, on this note, is there a reason, or at least, is there a tradition in video-game designers to have characters wearing 3/4 coats like this often? I can understand it from the point of view of flow: if a character is running around (which most do), then you can have the jacket flow out behind them and it looks cool, no matter what. But is that the only reason? Similarly, I get the impression that there is a tradition in certain parts of Anime that tend to link with older 'western' lines that are stylized, and again, the 3/4 jacket tends to come out, not necessarily because flowing in the wind is a necessity but because of the links to the western jacket that always went to the knee (the 17th/18th century European clothing in particular).

Anyway, back to Jensen. So, earlier on I came to the conclusion that cargo pants can work as long as they're not camo, and as long as they're not heavily accessorized (they need to be slim, and can't have lots of pockets that enlarge the thighs or whatever). With the slim silhouette of this jacket, it is vital that the legs stay clean or else we get the dreaded 'swordmaster of doom' scenario (you know, like the one in pic related). Thick wide trousers with a jacket that only falls just makes everything look like a brick, and while I understand the viewpoint from 1997 or so that bricks symbolized strength, the reality is that today it looks extremely poor. cont.

Interesting: I was thinking that too, because grey always goes well with more grey, and if it's darker (i.e. charcoal) than it'll be fine too. Burgundy or wine I was thinking for the tie, but only as a test. The problem is that the tie might blend in with the lapels of the jacket...so I'm thinking I might have to go with something entirely different (black maybe).....thanks for the ideas!

The shoes will be a problem, I fear....Boots work well with this jacket, no doubt...but low-top shoes...I have no idea. I have to test that out when it gets here.

It isn't 'bright' red....it's dark and 'antiqued'. Wow..that's the first time anyone has ever referred to me as an edgelord. Pic is for you then!

Thanks Anon...it's okay though, I expected responses like that.

Well, it's not bait. If you missed it, I came across this design purely by accident. I have always wanted a hooded leather long coat, but they just don't make them, and to do custom would be pricey just for the skins alone. Then I found this one, and I really liked the design and colour scheme. Given that it's Soul Revolver, they have a reputation for really excellent fitted jackets, so I thought, 'why not'. As far as I know, I'm not autistic, nor mentally challenged. Also, given that fashion today can literally be anything (just look at the rap music industry), this is far more conservative than what you might see on the streets of Tokyo, as an example. I'm serious here, asking for serious advice because colour coordinating has always been a weak spot of mine, and some people here might have more experience on that than I do. So, do you have any ideas?

No, too edgy for me. (did you see what I did there?)
