I know you're going for the ridiculous look here, but as someone that wears FU pants rather regularly, I think you're better served to match them with an otherwise somber look. Look to Ed for awesome examples of this and you'll see an otherwise well-tailored, conservative look gives the pants a lot more pop. Here you just look like an unorganized Easter egg. Again, I know this was half of what you're trying to accomplish with this fit. Also, was this taken at Carolina Cup?

EDIT: Put your collar down.

BTW, the last pic I posted was of another SFer, not me. My current waist size is about the same as my age.


Which is.....

Edit: I vaguely remember Spoo talking about this once, aren't you pretty young?

Here's the pair I made last summer (F in pattern matching):



I like patterned pants fwiw. Does anyone have/wear pants with an embroidered motif (sailboats, dogs, etc.) a la BB?

@rs232 - did you make the ones in your pic?

I'd consider it an organized easter egg but yes, Carolina Cup.

Can anyone with a substantial collection of awesome plaid/textured/glencheck pants tell me some of the brands please? I've been looking for some pants like these for ages but to no avail!
