That's a thousand-dollar jacket.

By what what now? on Thu, 12/14/2023 - 11:23am.

The jacket is $1,700 (and change) on sale from $2,450. Yow!
Anyway, somebody knows this scumbag. Do the right thing.

That looks like the current Bruins black centennial season jersey, that's another $150-200.

Yikes. Seems like this type of thing has been picking up lately, based on the amount of coverage it’s getting. The latter is good in terms of corrective action. Shouldn’t be too hard to find this individual since the photos are so clear.

And he deserves a slap for wearing it for a crime against fashion.

For finding sneakers that go with the jacket.

Astounding.

I guess leaving the tag dangling is part of the aesthetic.

By anon on Thu, 12/14/2023 - 2:09pm.

Don't those dangling tag things have something to do with skiing? I always wondered why I saw people (especially affluent looking college types) on the T with tags dangling from their jackets until I got close enough to sort of read one and it had something to do with a ski lift or something of that sort.

just sayin, what a punk...

I guess he wants everyone to know how much his parents paid for it. They're gonna be so proud when they see him on the news!

HOWDEEEE!

Judging by the photo of the alleged perpetrator, I'd say the really surprising part of this story is that the person who was hit actually felt it.

What causes a person in a tacky $2000 jacket (or without one for that matter) to just slug the person next to them without provocation?

By SwirlyGrrl on Thu, 12/14/2023 - 6:19pm.

Maybe it has something to do with the contents of the bottle he's holding?

and auction for the Boys and Girls Clubs.

i've always thought that wearing a $2000 jacket is a quick way to draw the attention of criminals, especially something tasteless with that price tag.

Possibly the poster boy for what we used to be able to call 'Euro-trash'.

By Gary C on Thu, 12/14/2023 - 4:30pm.

I've seen prune juice bottles that look a lot like that.

That’s actually Timothée Chalamet, he’s in town filming for his upcoming movie call “Dial T for Trouble.”

By anon on Thu, 12/14/2023 - 9:51pm.

Timothée Chalamet is far, far better looking than this clown. Better dressed too.

I was going to say Michael Caine somehow rejuvenated to play Young Alfred in a new Wayne Family prequel to "Batman" judging by the middle picture.

I wonder if anyone's checked TikTok, Instagram, Facebook or YouTube? Might be the start of another 'knockout game' trend. He may have done it for the views and hope for Svedka or OW sponsorship.
