i actually think kix's birks work well in the context of that fit. also doesn't hurt that the mr. freedom peacoat and the 3sixteen+s are both badass pieces.

I really wasn't feeling kix's fit, I'm afraid. The birks were the nail in the coffin for me but the torso wasn't a whole lot better. First I got a kind of Canadian Tuxedo vibe from the multiple denim pieces, and on top of that, the denim coat, neck kerchief, and engineer's hat gave me a real whiff of Model Train Enthusiast.

Snowman, it looks like you're wearing those pants kind of high, If they're meant to be drop croth, then wear them on your hips and let the crotch drop. They still probably won't work, but it might be an improvement.

FYI: I don't have a camera, but I am wearing a white t-shirt tucked into high-waisted triple-pleated grey flannel pants right now. Black dress belt, black boots.

they have an elastic hem, they are not made to fit mc style.. (mc hammer style is a diff story)
yes they dont fit properly but i wanted to try them on, they are already in the process of being returned.


dude all of your clothing choices are just bewildering. its like a grabbag of random designers from random aesthetics... you're like a carousel of clothing that will inevitably hit the B&S forum.

you seem to want advice, so if here is some: for the love of god stop boot tucking

There is a lot of middle ground. CtK is a dumbass, and you are, too, in your own way. I think there are better ways to up your style than dropping insane cash on designer stuff that doesn't work for you. I don't know if anyone here has asked you this before, but what are you even going for?

1. your jacket/cardigan is too big and makes you look a child
2. the color of the jeans/pants is ugly
3. boot tuck is ridiculous. you look like a ******* tiny jockey.

come on dude..

snowman really needs to work on his proportions. get professionally measured by a tailor, then always consider those sizes when buying clothes. not drop crotch or massively baggy ****. dont buy a large when you're medium, etc.

i just dont understand him at all. ive seen him piss away thousands of dollars on clothing (taking huge losses on his stupid purchases) and he seems to have learned literally nothing.

he needs to stop ******* buying clothes online.

if that clothing fits how you intended it to fit (and you think it looks good) I think you should pursue another hobby.
