What's the common consensus on them? I'm not a smart man but I want to appear so and I think that wearing them might be the way forward on that front eh?
@ms-lola: Is that how it goes? To Kill a Mockingbird - intellectual, Catcher in The Rye - nutcase. Any other social archetypes you can imposter with the 'novel in jeans pocket' method?
As a man of letters and words, I am tots down with elbow patches, but the jacket can alternately be corduroy. A bubble pipe that looks like a Calabash and horn-rimmed glasses necessary accessories.
Perverts wear trenchcoats....... and wearing tweed jackets with elbow patches is like admitting to the world, "I've never had sex and have already accepted that I never will."

Sport coats are like admitting to the world, "I've never had sex and have already accepted that I never will"? Unless movies and tv has lied to me. University lecturers have sex with students all the time and wear tweed and elbow patches. People who wear sweater vests do not because they look creepy as all hell.
Look, trench coats. Yeah, maybe could be a pervert but also run of the mill goths wear them all the time. Protagonists in gritty entertainment too. No one good wears a sweater vest.

Yeah, this. This is what I mean. The bubble pipe is a nice touch.
@ccraft: It says that you are drawn to the human condition, heartbreak and fantasy, even in the face of certain tragedy. Even then, you find something beautiful. To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, to be an artist is to live out a long, drawn out suicide.
