I daresay Peewee looks a lot better than Thom Browne does.

I like the 1950s slim aesthetic with the higher waisted pants and skinnier lapels. I like that the shirt and tie combos for the most part can be worn plain. thanks to everyone who gave their advice.
Thom Browne's (enormous) problem has nothing to do with "slim" -- I like "slim" (pants, lapels, you name it) at least as much as the next guy. And while I hate high-rise pants, they're absolutely doable.
His problem is that he crops the hell out of everything. Sleeves so short you can practically tan your elbows, jackets that barely cover your waist to say nothing of your butt, and pants so short they look like capris, which are one of the worst style crimes in existence as far as I'm concerned.
The picture I quoted above on this very page is nothing short of godawful.
TB pants at least I think you can buy unhemmed and then alter to the proper length. But none of that explains why you think that non-TB pants require "an aid to cinch them to your body" -- that makes absolutely no sense: if you can find TB pants with a waist of X inches (in order to forego the belt), you can find a million other brands' pants with the same waist. And Dior Homme, among others, was doing super-slim cuts (incl. nice trousers) long before Mr. Browne arrived on the scene.
