Anyone here have experience with the soft J pants/jeans from Zam Barrett and the texturized cotton he uses?

Thanks

posted this in the "fit feedback and alteration suggestions"-thread over in MC, but since the people there most likely will be too busy raging out over the fact that I wear a camel coat with white hightops they might not be of much help, so I'll post it here aswell

Thinking having the sleeves shortened 1-2 cm, tapered 1-2 cm(and maybe the waist taken in 2-3 cm or so), sounds good?

"ditch it. looks dated and doesn't fit. you could do better at h+m or uniqlo."


was hoping the response wouldn't be this, but since I bought it close to a year ago(which is just when I started caring about clothes) I figured my perception of how it should fit might be skewed

you're sure it doesn't fit? (quality is really nice, the shoulders fit excellent, so was hoping tailoring the other things would improve it)

Haha it looks like a shapeless box on you, lapel is too wide for some of the looks you're going for I think even if you get it taken in

Lapels (quite wide) and shoulders (big/square) make it pretty unsalvageable. Same problem a lot of guys have when they buy vintage.

wasn't vintage, believe I bought it from Brothers at about 40 % off or something like that, quality is real nice
