Thank you very much for the comments. They are much appreciated, and I welcome more, good or bad.

I was also thinking there was a tad too much pull at the waist, but didn't want to say it in my original post, as I wanted completely unbiased opinions. I was standing with my arms in an awkward position in all the photos, to show the waist, but I still don't think that would account for all the weird pulling going on.

I think I'll probably end up returning it. It's sad, as this really is an incredible blazer.

^ That'd be wise. I don't like how it looks unbuttoned at all.

Fitwise, it's too tight in the waist! It's giving you that extreme "X" at the button point and flaring in the hips.

I'm not a fan of the center vent in the back. It also seems to be missing a breast pocket? Lapels seem too wide as well.

To be more specific, it is A.P.C.'s "gabardine garcon bomber jacket". It'll will be somewhat hard to find, as it's from, I believe, the F/W 07 line.

ideas for dope dark navy and black v-neck sweaters under $150?
I liked the Terry Hall x Fred Perry one GetSmart posted, but I guess that's too late.

I posted this in the "I have a jean" thread twice but never got any replies...hope its ok here


right now I have a pair of average joe, dry heavies and I would like to grab something a hair bigger in the leg.
Maybe something right between my average joes and my paper denim (Alec Relaxed boot)
(I know paper denim is not really favored on this site; but they looked good on me and were $50)

I have been looking on various sites and each one is telling me a different leg measurement for the average joes. So its hard for me to know whats what.

(looking to spend anywhere from $1 - $175)

thanks guys

confused by your post. why can't you just measure the leg yourself?
