OK I thought you were saying that the literal sizes of the garments themselves were wrong, which I would have found... surprising.

But in terms of the aesthetics I can see it's a bit of a strange one; I put it together, not as a joke cos I reckon that unless it's fancy dress then what you wear out into the world is never just a joke, but... playfully let's say. Thing is though, to my surprise - other than the shoes, which I took straight back off - I liked it more than I expected to.

I can see that for many people it would be a definite no. But walking round town etc it grew on me and while I absolutely get what you're saying and why you're saying it, ultimately I respectfully disagree with your opinion here.

Yesterday was raining and for the first time in my life I wore a sort of triple leather get up when I put my leather jacket over the (fake) leather tracksuit, oh and these Alexander McQueen crocodile shoes... although I didn't think that they would stand up to the weather and changed them.

On the way home I actually needed to use a hood, I think I opted from the jacket hood, not the tracksuit one.

I have tried the leather outfits sometimes. You maybe need more fitting

Was feeling myself and then started copping the ‘it’s Michael Jackson back from Hawaii’ comments almost the second I walked into the pub. But hey that’s what friends are for.

I don't think so mate, the jacket is this one, it's always seemed a good fit to me although it has unusual features such as long outer sleeves and a weird ninja hood (I put all that in the leather jacket thread but dunno how to search it, you probably do if you can be bothered). To me it's fitted to my body while allowing me to move which is how I like it, certainly wouldn't change it.

Or with the hood up...

And like I say the trousers are not really leather, it's this tracksuit, which... it's not tailored but I think it fits as it should.
