Dumpy?

Bonkers1 — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 12:19:56 GMT

Does anyone else feel the Basso tsv looks shapeless and outdated?

Very plain but not dumpy or outdated to me.

Agree, kinda missing a style- Boxy. It's not a blazer, it's not edgy like a moto style, Just a basic mid, tunic length jacket- His coats tend to be very boxy shaped.

For me it’s a no. No love for this style. Too long. Too wide through the body. Fugly collar. It’s not something I could wear and look nice in or feel stylish.

I have a tank style slim fit sheath dress from him I purchased over a decade ago. It’s close to the figure, slightly above knee length stunner. Wearing that design from him makes me feel fabulous. This faux leather blazer I would swallow me whole.

I think he could’ve created a prettier more feminine garment.

I love the style but I am not a fan of leather clothing, real or not. This looks nice style- wise but on tv it looks like plastic. Good colors but this is a pass for me.

On the contrary, I really like the style of this jacket. I like that it's a bit longer and covers the backside, yet the styling gives you a slimmer waistline that gradually opens to proportioned A-line over the hips. I think it's anything but outdated or shapeless. It's 'timeless' and will always look stylish. Having said that, I'm not a fan of faux leather or real leather, so I will not be purchaing. However,this particular faux leather appears better quality than other vendors who have faux leather in their clothing collections.

I just ordered it, thanks for posting about it. If paired with the right outfit and dressing it with the right scarf . . . very classy look.

If it had a hood, it looks like it could be a rain jacket.

Dumpy? No. Plain? Yes. I have a faux suede washable trench with removal faux fur collar from DB from 15+ years ago. Still stunning. It had the trench belt, as noted previously the optional fur collar, but it was this shape. The difference is, those added elements added the style. I also think it was a bit longer to be a true car coat, this looks like a weird length blazer that is hitting the hip area in an unflattering spot. Also, there should be a vent in the back.

This is an easy pass for me, looks cheap. I do like the length, but not ordering.

I like Dennis Basso and most of his creations.

I think it's classic, more of a boxy style and a little longer too, I like the navy choice.

I think the Dennis Basso faux leather jacket looks great! ❤ It looks fresh and new for the season. I'm delighted it's not one of those too short, too tight jackets that everything you wear hangs below the hem of the garment.

Too big, boxy and the sleeves are so huge you fit a couch in them. Cheap looking.

Looks like it would be hot and sweaty. It's pleather. I'm not a fan of ithe styling either. I live where a simple hoodie is enough to keep warm in the winter.

JazzyGirl — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 13:39:20 GMT

Must agree! It looks like cheap pleather. I've had several DB coats for years and love them. Just not a fan of the boxy plastic style or material.

It's plastic.

I don’t like faux leather, too hot. The jacket has nothing special about it that would incentivize me to purchase it.

No, I'm not impressed with this jacket. It would have been more flattering if had princess seaming and maybe a zipper. I don't like the material either, but I enjoy seeing Dennis.
