I like the juxtaposition. edit: now i cant stop imagining zissou in ysl cropped blazers and wide legged flared pants and my brain is breaking down

Actually if anything it's the opposite... I swear

I will not post an ass pic but it is definitely not too snug. The material is pretty stiff still and I think it just needs wearing and washing to break in and whatnot. On the other hand, you may be right and I could be full of ****.

Edit: Here's a less nutty pic for your viewing pleasure.

It only gets marsupialed when people complain about specific members who suck and implying they represent the forum instead of posting pictures and contributing. What I'm saying is if you post more of your fits (which are great) and talk about peoples fits it will help guide discussion in the right way but if you just complain like this then it leads to those awful waste of time "_____ was better in the old days" discussions, even if theres truth to it. Anyways post more fits dude step up be a man.

Fuuma silouhette owned really hard though, crazy good. I want a sweater like that SO BAD now but I aint balla so I might go get an xxxxl thrift sweater and attack it with a sewing machine as a project

I know what you mean. That jacket, as well as my CPO shirt, could use another inch or so in body length. Being tall and thin, I'm often caught between sizes on things like that. The smaller size fits me perfectly, but might be a little short, but the larger size is long enough but too big everywhere else. So, I usually opt for the smaller size, especially since I am wearing this stuff in a very casual non-MC situation. I tried the next size up in that jacket and it looked all frumpy and gross. The sleeves on the jacket and shirt are a perfect length, so I just deal with it. Also, EG shirts tend to be cut high on the sides, exacerbating the shorter look.

Please change nothing! Twiddling about with length would, I think, ruin that shape.

I think the trousers might have worked if they were actually wider and cropped but this might only work in my head. As they are they're a bit in no mans land shapewise. if they tapered at the bottom at a very sharp angle (like they start tapering very near the foot) maybe i dunno. my ideas are dumb sometimes so this might be a bunch of bad advice.

I see. While I know the SW&D crowd is a little different and the clothing they wear will appear in different situations than the MC crowd, I feel like you could benefit from a bit of tailoring. 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.

LOL. The pants need to be worn more often, so maybe they'll have a little more character.

thanks, man. I've tried to do this even just with shirts, with not so great results mostly due to the fact that I can't find a decent tailor. For most things like shirts, I just go MTM these days.
