Word. I have Jil shoes that I could use, too.

Shorter T shirt instead of henley would help on the left. In terms of outerwear something with some shoulder structure is best but even just doing up the TOJ would help, the way it makes an A shape is accentuating the problem. Obviously the easiest method is longer outerwear that goes past your hips. Look at Pfurey for example; there is no way in hell with that jacket length and the squared shoulders that his hips could protrude far enough to screw up the proportions.

+1 the top looks awesome. im sure the photo quality really helps too. def get rid of those boots. urban lumberjack is marsupialed. replace it with some lanvin strap high tops from 2008 or with some distressed black MMM GATs. if you pair that with white MMM hightops (velcro or classic) it would be true margiela steeze.

Don't really like the sq fit, everything looks really clean, light and almost preppy and the jackets deconstructed and dark and a bit technical. I also hate the fit of 19cms, but thats just me, everyone else seems to love them.

What would help him, is a jacket with more structure in the shoulders and a good taper and / or a shirt with the same attributes.

The lack of structure contributes but it's a combination of factors. I deal with this issue myself so I always notice it even when it's not glaring and obvious (it isn't here)

There are packs that end up with me pulling out 10 broken cigs in a row. But that is the price we pay for nice back pocket fades.

Yeah I agree. I don't think it's a bad fit and most likely looks better in real life anyway.

It looks like you've got the face shape that would support such a cut.

Haha you're very right, bald guy Steez is a tough sell. I basically keep buzzing my hair with a lower number every 6 months. I'm sure just shaving my head is coming, but that's so much effort
