se update on saddle shoe


This is a really interesting fit to me - I love the jacket and the palette, but I hate hate hate the fit on everything. The second picture is much better than the first because the jacket doesn't look like it's swallowing you up like a corset, the trousers look more natural, and the short hem is out of view. I can buy the shrunken, tight look on most of your standard MC fits, but the madras jacket seems to be begging for something a bit more relaxed.

IMHO.

I think kissis fit would benefit greatly from some white suede bb peal wingtips.

to me boo looks best worn real slim and stuff. it looks too boxy on you and the proportions of it do not match the slimness of your legs

Seacrest has his arms up so it's raising the whole shirt, if he took it with his arms down it would look more natural.

firstly, the shirt looks like its too big so I'd probably go down one size from what you have. Secondly, BoO is made for guys that are skinny and not too tall (the sides are cut way too high and if you have a long torso it looks kinda odd). But I think the major problem with your BoO is that it is too big and it's meant to be worn slim.

I dunno. I defend BoO when the haters come out usually, but i just don't think the cut is for him and funds could probably be better spent on a different brand of shirt. I mean, i know BoO is cool and has gq cred and all and lots of people want that look but it's a cut that looks great on a few, awful on some and sorta akward/not optimal on most

lol. he definitely shouldn't size down on that boo. Hell, there are brands i've tried on that just don't work cut wise for me. One size will be too snug in the shoulders but good in the body, short in the sleeves and sizing up/down only gets partway there. Tailoring is an option but when there are other nice rtw shirt brands with a similar modern prep aesthetic (our legacy, ervell, shipley, apc, etc...) i don't see the point in forcing it

doesn't look awful or anything just think he'd probably be better off exploring other similar brands

I like how BoO shirts fit me, but i do feel the sides are a little too high, and im not even that tall. The front and back length is great, i just wish the curve on the hem wasnt as extreme. I know its their cut and all, but it seems like it would prevent anyone 6 foot or over from being able to wear them.

I was rather hoping for more shorts.
