Whatcha Wearin'?

Jim at Wabash and Roosevelt

Luckily for Jim, getting ready for work is no chore, he just throws on a shirt and pants, and he’s out on the street. Jim says it’s much easier when you only have one shirt back from the cleaners. Strolling along the street, Jim stands out from the crowd of commuters not just because he’s 6’5”, but because of his oversized black wool jacket, contrasting the structured dress shirt and pants underneath. The contrast looks great, and it’s warm too. The raised jacket collar adds more height and proportion to the wide jacket, creating a more balanced look. Where is Jim going today? “Work.”
