Actually it's not very tight at all. There's a term for the visual effect of the jacket tapering near the waist, rather than being boxy. It's called waist suppression. Perhaps you've heard of it? As far as the arms go, I have pretty much full mobility while wearing the jacket, and the armholes aren't tight whatsoever.
#4 +1 on the Jeans need hemming, and they are too wide of a cut to be worn with such a small jacket. Say if you were to wear that jacket again, id suggest you leave all the buttons open to reveal more of a relaxed look. This jacket doesn't work for me when worn like that^^.
I agree with the fact that the jeans need to be hemmed. I'm sorry you feel the jacket doesn't work for you, good thing its my jacket and not yours, then.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree then. I feel that a fuller cut (at least until mid-calf) appears sloppy. I'm not opposed to bootcuts that start at mid-calf like the 5EP LDB, and potentially the BOLA.

I think there's a seemingly large disconnect between how I appear in pictures and how I do in real life. I'm not 5'11" 250 or something like that, which would appear to be extremely disproportionate. While my drop is somewhat larger than the norm, 6'1 220ish isn't really all that big, at least not in the US.

drizzt,
the only thing I would object too is that the jacket has a bit too short sleeves (but as a pretty slim but broad shouldered guy myself, I know how common too short sleeves are on clothes that otherwise fit fine).
The jeans looks great, and definitly doesnt need to be hemmed. A small cuff could be nice though.

Someone forgot to fasten a couple buttons...

Nothing personal, Marrakesh, but it just plain looks bad.

lol Matt.

The shirt fits well, Marrakesh - I'm not digging the shorts combo though.
