Deliberately creating gaps in your outfit

Ever since I was young, I've loved hunting jackets, and I collected many vintage ones and wore them all the time. However, since I started running my own shop, I've noticed that tailored jackets from Italian brands from the 80s and 90s go surprisingly well with other vintage clothing, and recently I've started to actively enjoy tailored clothing as well.

Today, I chose a tailored jacket from Salvatore Ferragamo from the 1980s. It goes without saying that it is well-made and a high-quality piece, so I like it. I usually wear a jacket when I'm in the store.

The classic combination is jeans and leather shoes such as loafers. My style is to wear it without a tie, even in the fall and winter seasons, so as not to give a stiff impression. Rather than wearing a jacket perfectly, I value the idea of deliberately creating a slight "unconventional" look.
