I don't know, I went true to size with my apc ns' and I can sag despite my relatively big squat butt for my waist size. (Perhaps I got a little stretch in them) You really need to do something about that though, the moose knuckle looks bad in that photo. Good stuff with the untucked shirt though, looks better!

Haha yeah, i'll work on that for SF's benefit. It's why i've been trying to actually do things in my photos e.g. the cricket bat etc. biscotti adding some badass to his fits. looks good bro. you wear that denim jacket alot. I think it's cool that you've got a signature piece.
I don't see how this is possible, unless you sized down a ton 1980s aren't a tight jean and they have a massive rise. And I don't get why you'd buy KMWs if you don't like the anti-fit cut

Both are bad, imo.

Seriously, just do it.

cheers.
It really isn't a moose knuckle. As you can see from the first pic, it's not constricting my crotch. It's just the way the canvas folds when i stand that way in the second pic. For what it's worth, they're worn slightly lower in the untucked pic.

If anything, it's that there's extra fabric in the crotch area which is folding over. I.e., that's not ******* you're seeing!

They're really not tight at all. i went true to size. They have a 10 inch rise, by no means is that massive. pretty standard low-mid rise. I don't think the cut is antifit at all.

Maybe if i posted a vid with fluid motion, noone would notice.

haha. yeah i'm not worried about it. I post on here for the criticism and gladly accept it. I'm not arguing for the sake of arguing, and i'm not trying to be overly defensive. It probably sounds really stubborn from their perspective, so i don't get sensitive about it. What i'm wondering is whether it would look different in person - my posture, the cellphone pic taken from waist level in landscape etc... anyway, i'll try doing something about it next time.

Yeah, obviously this sort of stuff wouldn't happen. But the criticisms are often realistic and informative, I've came a longgggg way since I joined this forum, and owe a lot more to WAYWT than J Crew SS10.

How much longer will it take you to accept that you need to pull your pants down?

Seriously. You will come around just like with the shirt tucking. Just try it out. For the hell of it. Pull the down two inches. Post a pic. Trust. edit: the tucking in may actually even work if you pull them down. it's the mixture of both that's REALLY bad, and it's still bad because of how you wear them. It might look fine tucked in if you just pull them down a little.

They'd be a lot easier in person. I'd pull down his trousers and untuck his shirt for him. Bish, bash, bosh.

What's so frustrating is having to ******* convince this chap via the medium of words.

I put this together last minute this morning without much thought, after looking at the pic I'm not sure if I like the pants with the top, but it might be because it needed some other type of footwear possibly. I would have liked an olive colored pant instead though. I don't know.
