reworked the boots and swapped out the pants for something slimmer...

(Prices - out of curiosity to show I spend nearly as much on tailoring as the original items)
Beige Jacket (Harrington?) - Prada
red check shirt - Club Monaco (shortened and darted $29 +20)
Brown leather belt - Uniqlo (shortened $20 + $7)
Green khakies - Uniqlo + Tailoring (slimmed and hemmed $30 + $20)
Brown boots - Timberland ($50)



You're a pretty skinny dude so the slimmer fitting pants look much better on your body. I think you'd do really well if you looked for some sleeker footwear as well—the Timberlands have got a bit too much beefiness in the toe box as well as throughout the rest of the foot.

And, though I don't know what your face looks like, maybe going clean-shaven might not be a bad look for you. Really next-level-cool facial hair (like I guess any part of one's style?) can require pretty thorough cultivation. (Unless you're trying to grow out a massive knucks-esque beard; or religious reasons, etc.)

Just my thoughts. :satisfied:

If you did not realize, my post was 90% compliment 10% criticism. The OP understood.

I think he was referring to the intensity of your post being similar to someone who is, as the kids say, tripping balls.

Now, back in my BNY outlet days, I sold LVCs that were unsanforized-- they even came with a huge sticker warning buyers about the massive shrinkage that was about to go down.
Is that the case with yours? Because then there would be no hemming needed. Mother nature would take care of it.

Nice.
How does Cos knitweat fit (that is, chest size vs sweater's)?

This probably isn't what you want to hear, but it tends to be all over the place - some are deliberately oversized, some are cut nice and boxy, some regular and some slim. From my experience I'd say try in person.

ahah well I guess I'll go this way, since I always fall between S and M... Do they have any physical store in europe, or should I just go with trial and error online shopping?

edit: nevermind, they have several. Found one in milan, but it's quite a long way so i'd rather order stuff online
