The midsection also still balloons out a little bit but its pretty easy to keep it at bay. I tend to wear it under a jacket most of the time. It would be great if they would make a slim fitting version with a bit more taper in the midsection.

Yeah, this is what I've heard from other people as well. It's too bad it's so difficult to alter sweaters. For what it's worth, it looks great in the photo.

I think different pants and better photography would make a world of difference there.

I think so too, but the shirt+sweater combo he's got going on is a bit sloppy. Even with it underneath the jacket you can still tell it doesn't fit well.

Agreed. Furthermore, can you imagine how bad it would look on someone who DIDN'T have a decent body shape?

It'd probably look worse, but from the pic that sweater might actually fit a heavier-set person better.

It's size small. What exactly is it that doesn't fit? Constructive criticism is welcomed.

The narrowness of the sweater at the hem is causing it to balloon out and drape, which isn't very flattering. Also, color palate can be improved. Khaki and pink candy stripe is a no go.

I could agree on that. Get's kind of narrow with a sweater underneath that jacket. Thank you.

that is xenox's best fit to date --- not saying it is brilliant.

haha well I have been weighing whether to get white pants lately and will take SF scorn like this under advisement.

Another issue is: white pants+Seattle rain = dunno bout that.

maybe I will go with off-white.

strongly disagree, any time of year and any time of day white jeans look like **** unless you are very tall and incredibly slender and even still it doesn't look good. maybe thats just my personal preference but i find it horrible. now bill, that is quite the outfit, nice. ^^^^ yeah man, an off white or khaki looks awesome on most, but bright vibrant white like that looks ****.

White pants are fine in summer, wear them like raws and get them all nice and dirty, look a lot better than snow white painter jeans
