What a sweet hat. Grenadiers have the best fashions, hussars can go away.

link to just sale items. their aesthetic is simple and would work for casual coords or daily wear.

Anyone own this piece? I've been thinking of getting it for a while, but can't seem to find any photos of it in action.

Apart from that one of Mana, but that doesn't really show it well.

>>9234666
That is the most badass monk robe I've ever seen.

>>9234698
boystyle monk coords would be bomb desu

>>9234666
no, i do not make use of cutsews much. it is one reason i lean towards ouji; the casual EGA silhouette is not my style atm.

also nice devil trips

>>9235361
Oh damn, it is a sign, I guess I should buy it.

>>9235373

and show us

>>9232919
Hey so I am trying to understand the difference between a busby and a bearskin and am not having much luck with research. From what I can gather so far is that the bearskin is taller and both hats we worn in different contexts (by different people, countries or regimen). Aside from that I can't find anything else out about different defining features and in many cases the names are used interchangeably,

I always thought they were all called busby's until I read your post, now I don't want to call it the wrong thing! Can you help an anon out.

side note to keep it relevant: Does anyone know if they are planning to release this hat? Both my mum and I decided I should get it if they do when we saw pics from the show. I've wanted to coord fur hats with military for ages.

all these random Taobao brands put out ouji releases and i never see anyone wear them

>>9237282

Oh wow. Source on that, anon? It's gorgeous.

>>9237295
brand is Tiger Talk, set is Prince of Pentacles. latest Ouji's Armoire reblog

>>9237282
I want to get Classical Puppet's "Master's Blue Rose" set eventually and I'm loving this one so I'll bookmark it too.

>>9237282
I thought this looked kinda bad on the mannequin but on a model it looks nice, still hate the cape though.

Fun and unique ouji Halloween coord ideas:

>Sporting-themed
Golf, polo, fencing, baseball, horseback riding, get all white and yuppie with that shit
>Doctor/nurse
Why let lolitas have all the syringes?
>Police
Military is already a thing, and everybody loves a uniform. Well, if you're in the USA, maybe hold off a year for this one.
>Priest
Win an instant squad of nunlitas with this one
>Mr. Darcy
Just do it senpai.
>Soda jerk
To go with all the Diner Doll retro coords
>Mickey Mouse
To go with all those Cinema Doll coords
>Underrated anime/manga character
Sick of being called Ciel? Be Lady Oscar. Or Utena. Or defy those Kuroshitheads and be the O.G. ouji, Cain Motherfucking Hargeaves, the EGAest motherfucker in England.
>Baker, candyman, chocolatier
AP might never release anything ouji but their OTKs work just as well with half-pants
>Shironuri clown
None of your shit matches or fits right anyway
>John Leigh
+500 Edge Points
>Mr. Yan

>Prince
Be king of the kareoke meetup as you belt out "Purple Rain" in your matching purple coord just in case nobody got it
>Somebody's Boyfriend
Wear a beard and get ready for instant likes. No makeup required!

This needs to be a thing. Just doing Time Warp and JoJo poses and just generally silly photoshoots instead of "Stand there and look serious and fancy."

>>9238557
There has not been a manga with better gothic fashion since, it gets both tone and style. Prove me wrong

>>9238764
so i started (re)reading it because of this thread and read everything up to the end of the Red Ram arc (everything before Godchild begins). the number of twins, lookalikes, split or multiple personalities, and general cases of mistaken identity is too damn high. for a mangaka with such a distinctive, fashionable art style i feel like the repeated plot twists involving "true" identities makes a weird kind of sense. there is a thesis' worth of material here, i am sure of it.

this fucking cake hat thing tho

So I saw a picture of clownanon in historic clothing wearing a pair of what look like white skinny jeans that has legs that are also fitted spats. Anyone know what im talking about?

>>9237275
My understanding is the Busby is shorter, and can even be somewhat cloth and floppy. Though the original Hungarian versions were stiff, tgey were only about as tall as they were wide, and almost always had a feather. As opposed to the bearskins, there are a wide variety of Busby's, a more armies fielded them.

Bearskins of course are tall, never floppy, almost never feathered.

>>9242689
Continuing, the original Hungarian Busby is noticeably different from the bearskins of the British grenadiers and French imperial guard. Notice the cloth and feather/plum, the flat top and how it's only slightly taller than wide. Hussars of most Nations had hats like this, including the famous Death's Head Hussars.

British infantry, especially early light infantry and rifle regiments worry a 'busby' that was floppy and almost entirely or wholly cloth. It's stupid and they should feel bad for calling it that. It did have a feather though.

>What the ruckus are you doing for Halloween, /ouG/ulls?

I went cat-themed ouji. Also learned how to properly tie a tie for the first time.

The entire night I had "Ah, It's a Wonderful cat Life!" in my head, it was a bit unfortunate. I met up with a small group of lolitas by chance at a Halloween party on campus, so that was a lot of fun.

>>9241050
As if I didn't want that vest before.

>tfw someone says they want their SO to wear something "more grown up than boystyle"

Fucker it is not literal children's clothes. The word just means male version of whatever is being discussed (usually, lolita). That is it. Lolitas should know better than to assume a Japanese term for something is meant to be taken literally in English. They should also know better than to assume that "cute, sweet" substyles represent the whole spectrum. Not every "boy's style" in pic related is cutesy (though the ouji one is pretty damn cute).

Don't get me started on people who say ouji doesn't have substyles. It's the same fucking clothes, made by the same fucking brands, and mirrors lolita. The only reason substyles for ouji aren't more commonly discussed is because most people treat ouji as a substyle of lolita instead of a companion style.

There are GLB/Kera spreads that differentiate between sweet, gothic, and classic ouji, and Japanese oujis use the word to refer not just to sweet cutesy stuff but for head-to-toe Boz.

>tfw someone calls one classic coord "kodona" and another one "aristocrat" because one has shorts and the other has pants
>tfw someone wears a bunch of bows and OTT gaudy trim but it's black so they call it gothic ouji
>tfw someone wears pastel fairy kei and says they just invented sweet ouji

It's not that hard, guys...

>>9242834
>still using the term "kodona"

>>9242834
Thank you for posting this. I was starting to think I was the only one who felt this way.

>>9242834
If people are calling ouji/boystyle "kodona" just because some idol described his style that way then they should also follow Melanie Martinez lead and refer to lolita as "adult baby".

>>9242842
>>9242930
The stupidest thing is people who are corrected will insist kodona is easier to say than ouji, while pronouncing it kuh-dough-nuh and/or spelling it "kodana." Like... How is this less complicated than saying oh-gee? Just how??

>>9242856
I am glad others feel this way also. It's so frustrating to see the terms misused on basically every EGL community platform.

Why do I love this?

>>9242758
I kinda really love this too as OTT Ouji.

>>9244992
>>9244996
i encourage those who may coord this hat to do so in a way that will not look too unbalanced without the hat - navigation will be a trip and the hat will not be practical in a group setting.

>>9244141
It's so cute for photoshoots. I have to admire their courage to actually release the hat and put that price on it tho

all right but what about the other ouji hat in the series?

>>9241120
delivered.

Any tips for brands with a similar style to MmM/Boz but with smaller male sizes? I'm drowning in their male size and the female size have curves. Bakasoseji wears female sized AatP, but I have broader shoulders than him and AatP is seldom to my taste. I just want some nice jackets...

thanks, /ouG/

more Halloween because so many themed boystyle coords this year. here is a White Rabbit featuring a Queen of Hearts tabard

Anyone have Christmas/Winter ouji inspiration?

>>9248552
decapitated royalty, rococo style. bring back bouffant wigs imo

>>9248554
sure senpai, what substyle/vibe?

>>9248558
i'll just go with new/not-commonly-posted boystyle that looks wintry

fur, real or otherwise, is good, see >>9241049.

overskirts or other layering for the androgynous/glamrock EGA look, with long hair, can be cozy.

>>9248558
I jump around between substyles, but I'm probably staying away from gothic for Christmas. I guess the vibe would be elegant with a hint of cuteness?

>>9248568
if you want to show legwear, consider boots and a cape, with a hat, for both practical warmth and selling the "look" of winter.

>>9248574

>>9248569
okay, i will adjust!

bears + velvet is a good bet for Christmas coords.

>>9248580
white + blue + gold = winter holidays

>>9248574
I actually like this quite a lot. May end up doing something similar.

>>9248555
I'm totally down for a rococo style fashion to emerge. Bouffants included.

>>9248582
candelabras, candles, and other human-made light sources are symbolic of the long nights of winter

>>9248588
AatP's showy tassels and their little soldier hats are also pretty appropriate for Christmas, but i am not sure about combining them. a toy soldier coord would be adorbs, but maybe keep the tassels to the epaulettes rather than as fringe for a cape

>>9248593
tartan is a safe Christmas choice also

>>9248595
wool is an underrated choice. i am not sure if pic related is wool but it looks like it; with an overcoat when outdoors, this could be a comfy winter coord.

>>9248599
white and grey for a frosty look

also winter lets you wear frillier things without feeling annoyed by the lace rubbing against your sweaty skin

>>9248605
all-whitw on the left would be a nice winter look. the right would be too chilly. better not to leave upper thigh exposed unless your winter is warm

Trying to find taobao places that offer coat/vest combos in white or jewel tones. F+F is straying away from lolita and kondana/ouji so they're out. Any recommendations?

>>9248608
white blue and silver = winter

>>9248609
>kondana
anon pls love yourself

>>9248610
ending with Fidel David but can post more if needed. popular culture sees blue roses as emblematic of winter so goths need not hog them.

>coat/vest combos in white or jewel tones
Amastacia: http://m.intl.taobao.com/detail/detail.html?spm=0.0.0.0&id=43446200334

something like this, or with the coat and vest totally separate, or something in the middle like Roland?

>>9248617
Thanks, anon! You're the best!

>>9248671
you are welcome anon, hope to see your coord in the future !

>>9248626
I'm fine with either/or anon.

>>9248617
Ouji w/e this isn't for me, just trying to f\gift a friend a coord.

>>9248702
buttcape's blog (address is in OP) has a shopping guide which includes links to Taobao shops that sell ouji items. that is how i found the Amastacia one before i got distracted looking for things for myself. would recommend looking through there!

Elegy quietly released another aristo-friendly item, an unfitted long vest remniscent of a priest's cassock. because it is not fitted, i would not recommend it for ouji; but flowy silhouettes fit well with aristo.

and the sizing is customizable. big western aristos, check it out: http://www.elegyclothing.com/c-o-l-l-e-c-t-i-o-n-s/black-mass-long-vest?category=BLACK%20†%20MASS

starting price is 150USD

why don't Aristocrats opt for the sort of open neckline Mana sometimes uses? EGA as he deminstrated it embraced sexually ambiguous/ambivalent signals without becoming crass. i would even say that a "freer body" is a significant element in what differentuates EGA coords from lolita/ouji coords.

>implying the average Anglosphere Aristocrat could sport a bare chest tastefully
>implying the dominant "Neo-Victorian" aesthetic of current Aristocrats isn't indicative of the psychic Puritanism that haunts the Western EGL community
>implying anyone cares about what Mana did, does, or will do any more

This question is probably asked in every ouji-thread, but here I go anyway

I've been considering starting to wear more ouji/aristocrat, what is the best way to start and what should I keep in mind when making an outfit?

>>9242842
where does this term even come form? kodomo + otona?

>>9250391
yes and it was used by a singer to describe his personal aesthetic. later a different singer used it for her genki, kawaii style.

it has nothing to do with ouji and has been used by a label by Western people due to 1. a misinterpretation of that singer's remarks, and 2. stubborn refusal to accept correction.

i legitimately did not know Angelic Pretty ever sold pants

>>9251136
why do they not sell more?

http://www.closetchildonlineshop.com/product/112489

New Long Ears and Sharp Ears ouji pieces!

The vest is super cute. Might have to buy the whole set.

The collar/shoulder thing is removable.

>>9251143
Also comes in blue.

>>9251144

>>9251145

>>9251146
Aaand some shorts, but they look like the fit will be awkward.

>>9251147
i like the bow and the pattern on it - would have looked lovely on the vest or coat. a print with blue roses would be a dream

>>9251136
Oh anon, they've done pants with their tartan or stripe series a few times now. This colour is gross though, wait for navy and wine instead they're much cuter

>>9251144
I'm in love with the navy collar!

>>9251409
Almost all of their pants are horribly hideous desu

The sailor ones are cute, and the skirt pair *could* be coorded into punk well, but the rest of these are just bad.

>>9251470
Anon you replied to, I love the stripey ones especially wine/red, curious why you think they're bad? tho I agree the pink tartan is hideous

>>9251483
I guess it's because I hate that bright red shade. I'd have much preferred if the majority of the pants was darker red.

Also not fond of how it looks with the accent stripes.

Any recommendations for males' boots that go with the AATP Harlequin (just released) set?

Everything in navy blue I've found so far is women's, and there's only 3-4 good black boots that I've found in men's.

Pic related is one of the only good pairs I've found.

>>9248585

Thirded. Rococo is my favourite time period/style.

>>9252814
men have crummy options for boots. i would check Yosuke but they may only do navy blue for their smaller/feminine shoes.

Let's discuss old school.
Ouji fashion has been around for a while, but is it long enough to have a style parallel to old school lolita?
I just think of tiny top hats and striped socks.

>>9254194
oh man i have a million oldschool ouji pics but no time to dump and no idea how long it has been around.

>>9254198
flatter/very thin hairstyles were more common, as well as traditional fabric patterns. gothic might go more bold with its pleather and netting but i think most ouji involved traditional fabrics.

>>9254201
also girlier heels and hair in classic

>>9254203
and gothic loved velvet

like, loved it

need to stop though, busy. be back later

>>9254204
stopping in with this from Volume 1 of the GLB, which refers to the shirt and short pants on the far right upper corner as ouji (the gauze frill shorts are "pretty ouji" if my kana is correct). if any Japanese speakers want to take a crack at translating, small bits like this tell the reader how to dress so it could be instructive as to what made oldschool ouji.

>>9254234
also from vol.1, ouji makeup

any Japanese help appreciated

>>9254234
>>9254238
those are from 2, not 1

my bad

>>9254238
oh my god volume three has a tutorial for Elegant Gothic Ouji

all this time searching and i finally found something that uses the exact term i use for my style

and it is beautiful

>>9254307
gothic ouji in the middle. the long straight lightened hair seem to go with the more gothic ouji coords from this time. shorts are also more often open at the hem instead of fitted, for a baggy look, but that is not a universal trait. just more common in oldschool than now.

>>9254322
dropped pic. dude in middle top cell calls his fashion theme gothic ouji

AatP releases something I love and it is only available in one size and is also way over my budget.

god i want this fucking jacket though

>>9249819
Because I like my chest hair desu.

>>9255082
I just don't like that pleated ribbon trim and that the back is cropped with that flowy stuff in the back. But it is odd that there is only one size. I hope the other long jacket doesn't disappoint me.

>>9255446
>the back is cropped with that flowy stuff in the back.
buttcape is optional, but yes, the jacket without it is a bit short and on the sweeter side.

>>9255440
how unaristocratic of you

>>9255617
And lackluster for that price tag as is like that.

the Rat King is also only one size.

>>9255996
but worry not! the Toy Soldier is two sizes, and AatP is still working through their horde of golden tassel trim.

>tfw they give the shittiest set mens and ladies sizing

>>9254324
ouji style guide from GLB 8.

Do anoy of you think some less otp steampunk stuff could work for certain styles of ouji? a lot of the coats and such especially look like there'd be crossover, like this one as a quick example i just saw. But then I'm, really not the best at this so I thought it would be best to ask. With the right accessories and makeup and the rest of the outfit I think it could work in a lot of cases, especially considering how tiny most japanese made stuff tends to be

>>9254322
The Ouji is Sisen! I love how in old snaps people mix existing gothic and punk items (like the trousers in >>9259246) but the aesthetic is spot on. Of.coirse I am aware back then their range of choices were limited so they had to be creatively. But that is how coordinations should be, not wearing head to toe of what a brand has prepared for you.

>>9259820
neo-victorian menswear in general is fine if it is well-made. see >>9259960's comment about how oldschool oujis made do with what was available.

just avoid the ita elements, don't overpay (mens gothic clothes in the west is shit for the prices companies charge, imo, compared to brands like Boz or Moitie), and don't give up on indie brands that do custom sizing.

a while page of ouji style guide from volume 8, when gothic was obviously the dominant fashion force.

i am surprised how many ouji guides the early-2000s GLBs had. i am only finding random scanned pages online and yet they are abundant enough to make me sort of annoyed that the western EGL community ignored it for so many years, choosing instead to talk about nonsense like "dandy" and "kodona" based on, in each case, a single misunderstood image.

TFW liftan' and EGA don't go together.

>>9261878
sorry gull. how much bigger are you exactly?

>random Mana in EGA because i wish more aristocrats wore overskirts

>>9232909
why does this guy's face look like a monkey

>>9262567
ate too many meitus at the photo shop

>>9262561
Something like 95cm in the chest and around 50-60cm in the shoulders, at a rough measure at least, once I saw it pass the garments measurements I gave up.

>>9248610
I love that vest so much

you're all right, Meta

So so gorgeous.

What options exist for ouji headwear that don't cost as much as a good hat does? Lolitas get headbows and clips and I struggle to find a head accessory in a similar price range.

I ask partially for gifting purposes

>>9272610
I usually go for berets and crowns.
I have a Voodoodolly crown which is quite nice and only about $40. It's rough if you have a large head though.

Would anyone in IL with a bit of experience mind helping me out a bit? I'm pretty new but have a lot of interest but I feel like having someone helping me out would make me a lot less nervous and intimidated with this whole thing. It doesn't even need to be someone from IL I suppose but I think it'd make things a lot easier if we could eventually meet up. I'll post contact if anyone is interested....

how do we kill "kodona" once and for all?

Bakasoseji endures

>>9276126
context?

>>9274512
1. Don't use it.
2. Suggest ouji or boystyle as an alternative to people who do.
3. Point out that kodona just came from one dude describing his personal style.
D. Only use it to refer to noujis.

>>9278960
>1. Don't use it.
not even in tags, gulls. disappointing to be browsing instagram or tumblr and find some fool who knows better use "kodona" in their tags. you out yourself as needing attention more than having integrity

>>9276345
Are you new?

>>9278961
Yeah, I've been guilty of this in the past, but now if I even see a picture I like tagged as both ouji and kodona I won't acknowledge it.

>>9279114
nope

>>9279308
same, usually. i doubt this has much of an effect, though, when well-known boystylers such as technotropism tag their shit "kodona."

>>9279325
If you aren't new, why do you think that posts of brand releases need to have a context to get posted? This is an imageboard, shit doesn't need context.

>>9279362
what brand is it?

i think you may be looking for an argument, but i'm not into that.

>>9279449
The japanese boystyle headgear brand http://candynoir.com/ , fits well with the OP.

>>9279476
where has this brand been all my life?

move over, corgi-corgi. your shit's never in stock anyway.

even their fucking HATS have fringe now.

what the hell, AatP?

>>9280479
Maybe someone of the staff suddenly discovered their inner old-school curtain fetish.

>>9280479
this would be super cute without the fringe and tacky trimmings imo

cute designs that are ruined by irrelevant details seem like such a waste of materials to me, why do brands do this

>>9279485
I have managed to collect 2 corgi-corgi pirate hats, best deals of my life. Even if I don't wear ouji or boy-style.

>>9280479
Lampshade-kei

D-Does anyone know the best place to get pumpkin shorts for someone with a waist of around 30 inches (can go down to 28.5)

>>9281047
what places have you checked and what is your budget?

Any suggestions on a quick/cheap headwear that I can get for ~$20 in the next two weeks? Something basic is fine, prefer it to be Gothic flavored. I'm going to an unexpected meet and I'm a bit wiped from Christmas shopping.

>>9281055

Money isn't a thing to me, and I've looked at wunder, babyssb, boz, closet child, fanplus

Maybe I'm just retarded, pls help.

>>9281047
Putumayo usually has partial elastic on their shorts

>>9281086
seconding Putumayo.

>>9281062
thrift store hat? Etsy crown? the mini hat is the best thing oujis have for cheap headwear, unfortunately, and hardly anyone likes them.

>>9281086
also Maxicimam

>>9281109

Thanks guys

it is good to know there are still ouji releases that look like actual clothing

>>9274512
Never use it and when you hear someone using it, nicely correct them.

Last Putumayo release, they do quite a lot steampunk-y stuff lately.

>>9285057
I thought that was Kaya modeling for a split second.

>>9285421
educate a newfag? this the visual kei Kaya or is there a model of same name?

>>9285428
Visual-Kei Kaya. They've done quite a few boystyle and lolita looks along the way.

>>9285430
thanks gull

i like the idea of brooches/badges on the sash, but it does not quite cohere in this coord

amazing elsewise

>>9285368
I have those shorts. Has anyone seen a stock photo for them anywhere?

>>9288682
I also thought the shorts seemed kinda out of place and don't really fit the aesthetic of the rest of the coord, but everyone else seems to think it's 10/10, so maybe I'm wrong.

Still a cool coord either way.

>>9289381
you might be right. the gold embroidery and the lace at the bottom do not fit well with the Roland. i think if the sash were longer/looser (less horizontally wrapped) and the short pants replaced with something more military-ish instead, with non-sheer legwear, this would be improved.

i appreciate its lack of matchy-matchiness but those elements do not work as well with the apparent theme

Wtb internet dudebros into aristo that'd help a complete retard out ;;

>>9290510
yo stop emoticonning and use a reaction image, this isn't Myspace

looks like only ladies' size

>>9291242
but nice to see applique instead of tassels and shit

>>9290557
>doesn't know that ;;. ;_; and :^) are typically accepted
Way to out yourself as new.

>>9291252
the particular person has a bad habit that needs to be broken or he might as well namefag

a drawfriend in the drawthread made a gif featuring an anon's ouji accessory

could be a cool reaction gif

>tfw no lolita friend to do Mr. and Mrs. Claus coords with

>tfw no ouji friend to be twin elves with

>tfw no Mana-santa

Is Moitie even doing lucky packs this year? I was saving up for them.

Who wore it better? Bootyshorts or >>9274893?

>>9298126
I think the answer is pretty obvious...

>>9298126

>that dudes leg

Jesus

>>9298126
>the crinkling around the shorts

did he push them up as high as they would go to show more leg?

is this pic supposed to be taken seriously?

are the hundreds of CoF likes and all the comments calling him sexy just memeing?

>>9298259
Thirsty lolitas gonna thirst.

Here is an "Innocent Prince" make for your Christmas Day coords.

Is there something better than fan plus friend for entry-level, custom sized jackets in a vaguely EGA style? I know their reputation is hit or miss but I keep coming back to it as the most viable option

>>9298908
have you looked at buttcape's spreadsheet

>>9297147
I saved all my dollars for one but haven't seen them appear on the site

>>9299287
I did, most of it was just too ouji (understandably)
Idk if ega is popular enough to have a spreadsheet of its own anywhere. I feel that steam punk and historical clothing brands might have items that I'd like but the ones that I've looked at so far all seems to be really questionable in quality

>>9298908
>>9301768

There's ichigo15, and one of the surface spells has some stuff. I'm not really sure how much either of them can do custom sizes though.

>>9298908
Sadly EGA isn't as popular as it used to be, so your range of choice isn't as good as it used to be for the main brands, and I'm not very aware of any TaoBao brands that cater for Aristocrat desu. When you say custom entry level stuff, in what way do you need it to be custom sized? Bigger or smaller?

>>9298908
Retroscope has some on clearance that could work. Stay away from their shiny shirts, but their jackets look decent.

Redballs made great trench coats. They may or may not be taking orders still, I found a couple websites but no way to purchase so you might have to call them. I got pic related from an eBay listing, in great condition and it is a really nice jacket. See what you can find

>>9302172
A lot of Retroscope stuff was produced by Fan + Friend a while back. Not sure if that's still the case.

AatP who hurt you

>>9300392
January 1st, gull

is this too feminine for ouji?

>>9303532
Depends on what the rest of the coord looks like...

>>9302667
>tfw they sold out quickly

Praise Mana, the online shops have had so much overstock that I wondered if people were still buying Moitie

>>9303532
...it honestly gives me cowboy vibes for some reason, wear it with caution

>>9309896
would cowboy ouji be so bad though?

>>9303532
Reminds me of pic related.

>>9310220
>onmy-ouji

>>9310128
Probably.

>>9310537
we have pirates and schoolkids a-plenty
we've got vampires and wizards galore

i've got twenty!

but who cares
no big deal
i want more...

Why Hasn't Anyone Done A Ouija Coord Yet

>>9311807
Could use Meta's alphabet vest and shorts as a base.

Elegy released this teaser, who is going to reserve a set? and for which house?

>>9312759
the false vest front kind of bugs me, need to see it on a person.

>>9311807
I'm working on it. Trying to find the right accessories.

>>9310538
I'm not stopping you from doing it, I'm just saying it's probably going to look bad. The styles are too different, and cowboys aren't exactly known for there elegance. Someone could conceivably pull it off, but there's a reason it isn't as popular as the other themes. But do whatever floats your boat.

>>9312760
The false vest front is too wide and open.

>>9312953
Agreed. What an odd choice.
