Thanks... I was trying to use the leather in a less rocker way than I have been, thus the pant / TB shirt mix. I have mostly worn it with indigo or black jeans, easy to throw it on in that context.

I shall politely decline - 170-175 is my sweet spot, currently 172.

I do both. This one was monochrome but I have a lot of TB stuff in the other colourways you mentioned.
Still though, I know you say the pants need to be sagged more for the after work fit but with the rise and shape of the upper block on those (I came close to getting a black fleece suit in the spring but ultimately decided against it for what retail was) sagging just wouldn't work. I'm sure you know this already though otherwise you probably would have done just that.
Or wear jeans like zissou said

The pants are not the suit pants, they're patrik ervell formal pants. It does work, I did it immediately after looking at those pics and seeing what would improve the fit. It is, however, still relatively high rise and some but not much break, but I didn't want it to fit like jeans, that wasn't the point (trying to do 7 distinctive fits this week).

A lot of TB's do this; I have 4 knits and 2 of them have that same band, it's an interesting way to visually screw with a suit fit's proportions. MC had a similar reaction to the other knit. I feel like in person, at more or less eye level and when you're not staring at the clothes so much as talking to me, it's a lot subtler. I really like the effect irl.

The suit (and thus jacket) is BBBF by Rafaelle Caruso, the leather is TOJ.

I don't see a reason for snark, especially unfunny snark. Who gives a **** what they are? They would look nice on a basketball court. The shoes from your Thom Browne outfit would have been a smarter choice.

Meh, too gunboatish to wear with a leather and would've been all black. The patent offsets the leather, the suede goes well with the wool pant. The sole always seems brighter in pics than IRL, dunno why that is. Point being, they're pretty damned minimalist shoes, CP achilles are generally looked at as about as close to dress shoes as sneakers get. Achilles style pretty well with ervell generally imo. I think he's actually used them for the runway shows in the past, at least it seems to me he did for his S/S stuff.

I like the first pic.
The fit of your pants is not very flattering esp. the crotch area and i dont like the cardigan or the shoes... but i like this better than the last fit.

I'd never dress up sneakers (except in one fit maybe?) personally but that's me.

Agreed. Everyone has their own personal preferred weight, as long as it isn't clinically unhealthy, don't ***** at people.
