For all of those hound dog men out there, Christopher Bailey of Burberry has just the thing to deal with them.
For his Spring 2010 Burberry Prorsum line, Bailey sent the men down the runway in shirts with straitjacket detailing.
Though I'm sure they aren't functional, this kinky detail is a fun update to the usually simple classic menswear on the market.
