You still look 90% better than 90% of men walking around in NYC today.

It would still have the Dashing Rogue look, just more streamlined.

Parker I agree with what you say as a fan of fine fitting clothes, some times though the beast must be let loose, maybe this is how you should look by the end of the night? Whilst starting proceedings like you have stated.

G, if this is true, I feel bad for the city of NY

A bottle of Patron would achieve those results

Yes, my Borrelli pants are 8", and I don't ever wear them because I don't like the drumstick effect (since I have a fairly big ass). 0.75" is actually a dramatic difference. Through trial and error I decided on 8.75" for all my office pants.

Hate the slacks, Spoo, but that's just my own baggage talkin'. The shirt, on the other hand, is awesome, although it's a bit strong with that SC. Even the solid tie is not quite steady enough to bring it all in for a safe landing.

Yes, I meant not a big difference in actual width but quite some difference in the way it looks. Do you have any WAYWRN's online in which you are wearing one of these pants? Before I start searching. @Orgetorix: Like the outfit but I would never wear a tie with jeans, speaking about your jeans. You maybe need a skinnier pair of jeans. Isn't your jacket too tight? And maybe a tad too short?

No, I haven't posted pics of those pants because I think they look terrible. Lol. I appreciate your comments but I specified 8.75" because that's what I prefer. It's not a matter of not having tried it or not understanding the look you are hoping to see. More tapered pants are just not to my taste. Maybe some of the guys who have seen me walking around Downtown Houston will chime in and let us know if they think my pants are out of balance/proportion with my jackets.

Predicting comments:
- Some people will say no tie with jeans.
- Some people will say I need skinnier jeans.
- PG will say my jacket is too tight and too short.

Said with love, my first impression was "Burly Peewee Herman"

The scale of the jacket and tie look very small against your frame. That particular blue doesn't sit all that well against pink.
I don't generally agree with the "never wear dark trousers against light sport coat" but these denims could make me change my mind.
