Or it look like one those "sweat" suits that you'd wearing jogging and lose copious amounts of weight by sweating

An edgy fringe style PLUS weight loss - what is the issue here? =D

Interesting concept that has potential. Something like this would be versatle and appealing to me. Faux leather could be a negative though, and I don't care for the way the bottom edge is fabricated with the banding.

I'd be looking for others that have a somewhat different fabrication.

I'm thinking the faux leather would feel like you were wearing a sauna suit!

I have to agree that the faux leather shine PLUS the banding is what gives it the weight loss suit look. The same material in a slightly different style would be great, though.

I think it looks cool but personally I would sweat to death in it. And for that price you should be able to get real leather.

Wow, LOVE the Helmut Lang leather sweatshirt. I'd take that over the first in a heartbeat.

Totally agree with Echo. The first one reminds me of a cheap chair.

Yes! The Helmut is awesome.

I'd probably just leave it in the closet for fear of getting sweaty in it and pet it

The helmut, yes I get it. I don't know, a little too conspicuous consumption...
Maybe? Something just doesn't feel right a about it
Sorry

Probably a personal thing but this looks soooo uncomfortable to me.

I just watched "Silver Linings Play Book" where Bradley Cooper is running all around town in a trash bag, so my view is being colored by that!

The HL yes! The other one looks a bit tacky and strange, the colour doesn't help.

I think the first one looks like you stole it off a chair at the Salvation Armani. The HL one is much prettier. Still, I think I like it better as a concept than as an actual garment.

Ditto froggiebecky's comment. Loved The Salvo Armani. Has that been around forever or is that yours? In real life it's just a jumper really. The first one- I was thinking, less of a chair and a bit more bean bag- needing beans.

First one looks a lot like the Helmut Lang one is much nicer looking but I think it would still be way too hot.

It looks a little bit like a fancy black trash bag! I think your other jackets are way better.

I saw the pants like this the other day! I kinda feel like they look like garbage bags.

I actually kind of dig the first one because of the wrinkly trash bag look. The HL is too sleek for my tastes. But I'd be concerned about the sauna effect for sure.
