jabonator: jeans are too slim for how loose the sweater is. also think you should get them hemmed. not a fan of boots, but hard to tell from that angle. i would ditch the dorky cap too.

Yeah its a bit feminine; but it doesn't really bother me that much. I can understand how others wouldn't lke it.

Is there any product in your hair, AR? It looks kinda dull and lifeless in such close proximity to a fashion forward knit like that.

Jacket is a bit tight, but I didn't really have another one that worked and I wanted to try something new.

bows I dunno.. it just looks goofy to me. shoes look clown-ish, the blazer on top looks way too tight.. needs to be more slouchy for that to work, kind of EG-esque.

Same sentiment as above, I agree. I need new boots too ;(

Maybe this jacket would be better?

honestly I think that would look sick with an EG bedford in charcoal.

I'm really digging EG these days. I can't help but think all the SZjugend who spent a fortune on Paul Harnden could have been just as served by EG for that aesthetic.

I think Fuuma figured that out long ago.

EG is fucking sick. I particularly enjoy how it can span from a very workwear aesthetic to borderline paul harden type of stuff. LETS ALL WEAR EG YAY.

also, still want the eg shawl.

I lurk here (so, yay, all of you, for posting excellent and also not-excellent fits), but had to chime in w/ a big ole high five for someone working Elizabeth Bishop into the WAYWT thread.

Stanley, I'm guessing that you have long arms and these jackets are off the rack with no room to let out?

Jacket/tie plus jeans is incongruous 99/100 times. This isn't the 1 time it works.

Further - the shirt and jacket sleeves are - again - 1/2" too short, maybe a full 1" for the jacket. The jacket's quarters don't look right, either. The jeans do need a taper for your style specifically (very lean and long), but don't cuff them until they are tapered. Finally, the tie doesn't work here at all, even if the rest of the elements somehow fell in place.

Hey, thanks for the actual feedback. I agree the jacket & tie + jeans thing is usually bad. I keep trying to find a combo that works but I'll admit this probably wasn't it.

The jacket sleeves were originally way too long and I had them shortened. I think you're right that my tailor may have gone too far and I may see if he can correct it. I don't think the shirt sleeves are too short though.
