Everything in that fit just looks like it's hanging straight down unflatteringly.

Although it's always hard to tell with Hendrix.

Quite a departure from my usual stuff and it's difficult for me to be objective here, so fire away!

I kinda want this jacket to be a bit shorter, but that might be an artefact of being used to much shorter jackets. It's probably the correct MC length. hmmm. could probably use a bit of waist suppression and the sleeves a touch shorter for a bit of cuff.

Not bad, but with a few minor changes I think it'd be more spot on.

I'd nip the waist a small amount but also the chest to streamline the slimness of the torso more. I'd also shorten the sleeves slightly.

However I only recommend these alterations in relation to altering the pants. They just need to be slimmed up. It's not an issue with the pants, no offense, but you just have short stubby legs. I do too, it's ok. You just need to know how slim you can get away with (takes a bit of tinkering there) but ultimately you can streamline the silhouette to be more lean and slim, instead of looking slightly dumpy.

However, the shoulders look pretty good, so the fit isn't bad at all.

god pinstripes are so awful, dunno if I've ever seen them look good. I like the jacket but I agree it could be a bit shorter for SW purposes. shoes look very out of place but you probably realize that. maybe try that same shirt/jacket with your light blue ervell jeans and GATS?

andrew: I think it looks awesome in that last pic because the lighting makes it seem like its blended more than it is, in the other two it kinda comes off like a half-assed mohawk. should look great once the sides grow in a bit

Andrew I have to agree with him,it needs blending and textured a lot. You're hair is super thick.

Awesome as usual! I'd love to see your whole collection, how do you clean /shine your rw?

RW: Last picture looks great. First two not so much. First one looks like a joke. Should look great once grown out a bit. You've got the facial structure and hairline to make it happen.

Yeah it's with the stripes i find they look fine when they're sitting perfectly with no break, but when there's any rumpling at all they just look baggy. I have a feeling that it might just be a still photo issue and they don't look so baggy when i'm actually moving, but i'm not sure. Kinda tempted to take a video to check this theory; as i mentioned it's really difficult to be objective about it.


I don't think there's any point in altering the pants; if i tapered from the calf the thigh would just look weird. If i slimmed them the whole way, the rise would look ridiculous. I have a few other options for pants i could've worn. I want to work these into a fit somehow.

i have a few other options for pants which i was thinking about using here.

I don't like pinstripes either, they're seersucker.

I'd slim the pants down in the top block and taper them down as others have said. Also not feeling those shoes, they look a bit clunky for the fit, perhaps go with a blake soled pair ideally in a lighter colour like chestnut or a similar lightish brown. I do dig the Miami beach style vibe though.
