Park, I was gonna say "Where'd all the hair come from?" But then I see that you pointed out that it's an old post.

I'm a cop you idiot!

Dave Navarro can get away with wearing a necklace like that. Guys that wear bass shoes and tuck their button down into their jeans cannot. Also, the belt is really bad. Is it black?

It's not about the bass shoes or even the tucked shirt, it's the way that the shirt fits.

It's gaping open at the neck too much. He needs a wider fit at the neck, and a higher collar would probably look better too.

It's very difficult for guys with a bit of muscle to tuck OCBDs into jeans. The fit needs to be absolutely perfect and because the body is constantly changing this is very difficult to achieve. It's not really about being unflattering, it's more to do with looking uncomfortable.

I have basically given up on it. I do of course tuck into shirts into trousers, but they're very different from jeans. I've also had to accept that I have to have separate shirts for tucking and untucking, as tucking shirts alters their fit and changes where the waist (the narrowest point) should be in order to look flattering.

It's probably OCD, but that's my experience.

epic old pic, parker.

thanks for all the birthday thumbs, guys!

Well, it's probably OCD, but at least you have good company.

 

I have proportionally long legs and long arms, so any time I tuck in, there's a tendency for me to look like I've got my pants pulled up to the nipples. Fitted jeans exacerbate this. So I only tuck in when I'm wearing a pair of looser fit jeans that I can sag a bit.

 

I've gotten some ill-fitting shirts shortened and taken in, and have been pretty satisfied with the result. Not perfect, but they were mostly thrifted or vintage, so cheap in any case. I ask for a slightly curved hem, and for it to be shortened  to about mid-rise. Before tailoring, I'd hardly wear these shirts, on account of the choice between a blousy tuck, a billowing sail, or some other shirt that fits.

 

Getting untucked shirts to fit at the bottom can be tricky as well. Too long or too tight, and they ride up. Unlike jackets, most shirts don't have any side seam allowances, so they can't be let out, but the sides can be taken up. Kinda works. And, to state the obvious, that 9mm thick veg tan SuFu-approved belt won't be helping matters.

 

I suppose the obvious solution is to get some shirts made by someone you can look in the eye.  

So where can I find these, only seeing Supergas with a crappy added panel on the side.
