Anyways post more fits dude step up be a man.

Word! I'll try.

Im pretty sure you can hit three strings at once, one of the notes won't sound he greatest though as there would be a lot of pressure on that string.

if you don't like the "shrunken" style that's cool. i happen to like ultra-fitted stuff like acne, filippa k, thom browne, boo, etc.

I had not intended to insult your aesthetic, just offer an observation on this particular shirt. I wear kmw rockers, levi's five elevens, and if i could afford it i'd rock BoO etc. I think the shirt you posted specifically was a wee bit small in the torso. Thats my personal view, as has been mentioned the buttons appear to be pulling.

Again, you post good stuff; this shirt however seemed slightly too small.

Can you even button the neck?

I don't think that particular shirt is meant to be quite as fitted.

I don't see why everyone is knocking on Sq4u. If he's slim enough to wear his **** that tight and likes it, who cares. It's a different take on many of the same brands others wear and looks better than most of the proportions others post.

Perhaps buying a size larger for the length (if the shoulders are OK, since those are hard/expensive to fix) and then tailoring the garment in at the waist and up in the arms? Just some thoughts to perfect your look, nothing personal or with pressure. Keep up the good stuff - you are consistently very good.
I think this is an example of where MC think doesn't apply to SW&D, the short jacket gives a nice sillouette with the wide pants and by being short it accentuates the most interesting piece, the pants.

I'm not really a fan of this kind of thinking, true it may look better being worn the way it is intended - probably easier to look good when it's fitted the way the model wears it, but wearing it slightly bigger or smaller isn't sacrilege and can work better for the person's aesthetic. A good example of this is dior jeans, sizing down vs. true to size.

I always thought Dior jeans were just vanity sized--i.e. they're meant to be sized down on. I mean thats the way the jeans were styled in the runway looks and in pictures anyway..

They look decent without sizing down and the degree of sizing down is virtually up to the wearer.

Same here. I think its just a matter of your specific limiting point. I can size down and they will be fine in the waist, its the thighs that will suffer. If someone has little ass thighs, they may be able to get by with sizing down.

That is in no way how a band shirt should fit, shrunken does not mean stretched across the chest.

Diors are vanity sized, though - I have a measured 31-32 inch waist, no way I could wear anything bigger than a 30 in Dior without a belt. 29s usually measure 16 across edit: unless you're talking about sizing down from the vanity size itself, in which case I agree - they look a lot better sagged and slouched
