No.
It all comes down to crumpled versus sharp. I am in the sharp camp.
l used to treat my jackets too precious, now l often lay on the couch with my jackets on and often dump `em on the floor before bedtime because i'm too tired to be bothered hanging `em up. Sometimes l throw `em in the spare room and hang `em up at the end of the week. l've had one or two jackets just sitting on a chair for about 6 months because l have no more closet space.

I wonder what signal I give off?
A bit of both no doubt.
Maybe I should graduate to cardigans. There can be no confusion with those, surely?
I saw a guy in a cardigan with a scarf underneath the other day & rather liked the look. He was down the corner shop buying a pint of milk early in the morning. Nice pink face he had - freshly shaved. Very gentlemanly.
No, you don't give off mixed signals, yours is very clear. Integrity shines through, no matter the avatar.
All that I was drawing the attention to was how sneaky the world is, look at the iGents, a whole subculture of automotoms and zombies created by a few mediocre tailors of ill repute feeding off the nostalgia of a culture in decline.
And let us not forget, that the Victorians considered nostalgia a mental illness - that morbid longing for the past.
Of course, the modernist longing is different, it is like William Blake's definition of eternity - being in love with the creation of time.
How kind you are.
I do loathe that 'culture' of life being some sort of endless wake for the past. We all need to be here now.
I'm not too fussed either: wear it whilst driving, on the couch etc. I do however hang it out to breath after a night out, and always hang it after I use it (never through it around), and I'm super fussy on getting stains on it whatching where I lay my elbow or what I lean on. . So I am a bit of both.
