If it's the taper of the jeans, I'll just reserve them for when I'm wearing the APC's (not wearing them now because I need a layer of long johns, as it's 10* F in CT).

You're improving but stop trying to do boot tuck, it won't work unless you've got really chunky sneakers and really tapered jeans or high boots, put the hem over the top and get those shoes dirty

The framing on your pic is boring, this is not an art gallery, it's WAYWT. The focus should be on your fit not "OMG I can haz photoshop 2!!!"

First hoodie looks really short, especially with the bottom unzipped. Can't really see details in the second fit. You're going to have trouble finding things that fit with the aesthetic I think you're going for, slim things will be too short and long things will be too big. Most Japanese brands won't work for you in length

Thanks for the feedback. I have really long legs compared to my torso, which doesn't help with this. I have a Japanese dress shirt that I like to wear untucked, because I think it does help with the length and proportions. The lighting sucked in the second picture and I already had changed; but it sits an inch or so below the bottom of the hoodie, so it is a bit better.

I'll also try and get some pictures nearer eye-level, and see if that makes the proportions look a bit better.

MJK beanie
Nordstrom house brand ("Black Rivet") coat
Dunderdon hoodie
Club Monaco wool cardigan
Carin Wester "Joakim" anti-fit jeans
Filippa K boots

I gave up trying to make inside photography look decent after about eight minutes of fiddling. Hoodie coat combo doesn't look great here but is decent IRl.


I like this. Something about the jeans and boots together doesn't look quite right though. It's cool to see going in a different direction.

thats the problem, as you can tell from his pics that he is experimenting with certain styles...and sometimes 3 styles in one fit arw is lucky as he has the type of proportions that most guys will kill for...ok maybe he needs to work on building up his puny neck

ARW, I'm sorry to say but I just dont know about the past handful of WAYWTs you've posted lately. Don't get me wrong, you got some sweet pieces but you hodge-podge them together and it looks a little overdone. Maybe reduce the amount of pieces per fit and make them a bit more cohesive within the fit. For example, that cardigan without a shirt underneath is, well, gay; that is in comparison to the rest which is militant/baggy/edgier. just my .02 I <3 Baconz, pretty much perfect. I wish my jacket looked like that when open, I feel that mine tends to look better closed up. But the jacket, button up, jeans, and boots are all pretty much envy-able.

^i like this, ARW. the jeans fit perfect, love the way they look, and I think they work well with the drape of the coat. I'm not sure how the cardigan and hoodie works together since i can't tell from the pictures. All in all, I like.

Shhh, just don't let the general public find out...

And just because you found out who makes all the good pieces online doesn't mean you were dressed by the net...

Or Arnie back in the day. Come to think of it, what is with all the buff actors working with children??? I guess they're probably targeting the mom demographic. Those are cool jeans, though, Dexter. Who makes em?

How long does your phone have to ring before you're able to pry them out of those jeans?
