Look its far from horrible, just not up to the standards of this forum, which are absurdly high.
You look fine, but do have them tapered when you have time.

I signed up on SF to be put to higher standards haha. Just slowly learning I guess. Thanks for the insight.

Hey Despos, I see you all the time in the tailor thread and was going to post there but I guess I won't have to. The waist is definitely not too large, if anything a little bit small. Izzy was a bit worried because I'm athletic and even though I'm "small" I have a sizable drop from my chest to waist. Coupled with the fact that he prefers the American cut, it seems a bit big. Do you think the problem could be solved with tapering and if so, by how much? I can post more pictures in the future.

But you shouldn't buy an entire MTM suit based on one guy's blog post about pant length, especially when you know about resources like this forum. Plus the pants on the EG post weren't even suit pants...

Well I didn't exactly mean poorly written but rather meant to say that there a better written articles on other sites like PTO. Skipping all the nitty gritty stuff, EG does a decent job in its purpose but you could do better off. The only reason I even remember to go to EG is because they email me :)

I didn't buy the MTM suit based off of EG either.

I don't have a huge stomach and I normally wear my pants pretty high so I'm not sure if there should/should not have been discomfort. It's hard to describe but the point is that the waist fits me and I got measured as well.

Are you basing this off the first pictures I posted or the ones from http://www.styleforum.net/t/304820/pants-fit-urgent#post_5532232? The second set of pictures doesn't seem like my thighs and ass are swimming as much.

They do still look like they need to be tapered. Someone (I can't remember whom) on this forum mentioned that leg opening is a function of pant length, so the shorter break the slimmer the opening (within reason). Southernstyle has posted some pictures on the WAYWRN thread that show the dangers of keeping wide openings with no break (although he seems to like it that way).

From what I've heard, wearing your pants near your navel is perfectly acceptable. It seems to fit a bit better for me too; when I posted my first pictures, my pants had no belt and were sitting very low.

I did say I was going to get them tapered as many people suggested, but I just don't know where to get things taken out. Do I just go back to LS and tell Izzy that I want their tailor to taper them without specifying measurements?

Yeah, it's an MTM suit. The turnaround is actually a bit slower than I would like but I could probably tell them to work faster. I already paid for the product (the suit) and took it home- would it be rude to go back with my suit to ask for more alterations even after the conclusion of the sale.
