Surprised you're not wearing your new N. Hoolywood trousers.

i love most of your other fits, but this one seems a bit boring. the sportcoat looks pretty average in the pic. maybe it looks better up close. everything else looks good, just don't really like the sportcoat.

I had a pair of 29 weird guys that had / have the same tendency to rise on their own. If the jean is tight on a location with little give, like your hip bone, every wiggle will move it towards an area of less friction, so it rides higher and higher. Many people wearing fitted, raw denim who have a hip to waist ratio >1.0 (ie - hips with no tubby belly) are going to have this issue and it looks like you're in that group.

I corrected my weird guys by doing a couple of things. I found the amount of starch was beyond ridiculous. The legs looked insane and the top block refused to stretch, so I gave them a brief hot soak. Everything about the fit improved. Most notably, when I forced them down at full starch, the button fly splayed open. It no longer does that. I always wear belts, but I use a "larger" diameter with these. I literally wear weird guys lower than everything else I own to make them look right.

This is coming across as a novel, but considering the subject of you vs pants has been rehashed so many times I don't feel too badly about it. Another thing I have learned about the fit of rougher fabrics for my body type is that you have to sag (to whatever degree) denim to obtain lap creases and lap creases are considered hot **** at the 1 yr wash. If you don't have lap creases, your jeans are riding too high.

Interesting note, I got to meet the Cohen bros on sunday, very cool guys, down to earth.

Today:

Vintage Levis Shirt
Tanner Belt
APC Petit Standards
Cons

mooba I like the overall casual feel of that fit. The one thing I'm not 100% on is the shirt. I know its vintage, but that collar seems a bit big, and the rolls seem kinda halfhearted. I usually roll above the elbow.

To SF at large, I will take the lack of comment on my own latest fits as a sign of improvement. Let me know if I'm incorrect in this assumption...

If you guys are such good friends of the Coens, why can't you spell their ******* names.

I'm not friends with them, I just got to meet them.

Pardon me for my misspellings.

hmmm. i gave my KMWs an initial hot soak. to be honest i don't have a problem with where they sit. it's right on the hip bone. like 3 inches below my belly button. They do ride up a little sometimes, but i still get the lap creases and ****.

I'm gonna sag the RJBs a little though. The cut actually physically feels like they can sag. so i'll wear them lower than my hip, more towards my hip joint.
