“meticulously crafted ugliness”

“Ordered the mushroom color, which upon receipt revealed itself to be a tone (almost) created by alternating stripes of tan and gray in the garment's cord-like tweed. Each color reads too clearly for my taste; i.e., the thing really looks striped. Also, it's too short and boxy for me. I'm pretty thin, but my wife commented that the thing makes me look like a fat guy. This is a remarkable thing, given that the coat seems rather light in weight. The thing is clearly well-made, notwithstanding its ugliness. I returned it.”
