Apologies for crappy picture quality. Blazer is a navy blue. First pic shows color better; second pic shows coat texture.

Thanks for the critique.  So a solid grey pant would have been the better route to go? I've always wondered what is ideal for length of a jacket as well, any tips? And would a similar color for the shoe work in a wing tip with a more rounded toe?

Imo, a higher rise looks good on folks with a longer torso (obviously) and those that are athletic with broad shoulders.  Your proportions are very good, so dont go overboard.

i could very well be wrong, but are you confusing two terms here?

rise is measured from the top of the waist and down, clap is talking about a higher waist, as in the waist extending up his torso further. additional rise would more likely just make the crotch lower, which clap does not need, not make the waist sit higher.


maybe just semantics, idk.

anyways, clap, i hate you. you have nice hair, and a great build. go hit yourself in the face with a rusty drainpipe.

My good friend,

I believe rise is determined by subtracting the length of the inseam from the length of the outseam (the distance from the top of the waistband to the bottom of the leg).

So, assuming the trousers were pulled up properly and sized for his waist at the top of the trouser, there should be no drop-crotch effect.

thanks for making me laugh tears, late at night stitch

 

just check out the pics of medtech I've spoilered to get an idea what is meant with high rise. You've probably spend too much time on SWD if you actually assumed that I was considering drop crotch pants...

The question is, what was I told? I am waiting for the penny to drop.

Yes, solid gray. Jacket length is subjective, but at minimum, it should cover your ass completely. Even then, it can look too short. A more rounded toe in general would be preferable.
