Sidestepping relitigating the whole ‘blazer and jeans’ debate 😀 …
These jeans are the silhouette you should be aiming for and look very flattering.
Not crazy about square toed boots - they seem bit dated, and shiny black calf with semi beat up jeans looks a bit of a formality clash. Can’t help thinking something like dark brown or snuff suede Chelseas would have worked better. I admit this is all just subjectivity, probably just exposing my own biases!

Yeah that combo is a bit too ‘Jeans & Sheux’ for my liking. But as an Australian I have been assaulted with the black chisel toe RMWs and mid blue 501s combination my whole life so it’s also probably a personal bias thing.
Thanks for the feedback. I was trying for a 70s inspired fit. The blazer was definitely not right. I'll refine it.

It might never be to your liking. 😁

Why do you guys trip on Foo over his snazzy T-shirt/jean combos, but have nothing to say when this guy turns up in a ******* sheepskin jacket and cow pants with a neon orange helmet and giant boots?
Cuz most mc riding fits are just cool in my book, also this fit in particular is giving off heavy “idgaf what you think about this fit” vibes, which in itself is also cool

And then there’s the jacket, which evokes nostalgic memories of fits posted here long ago

Cool, but a lot of people were criticizing Foo's choice to pair a baggy T-shirt with skinny jeans, while this dude's proportions are all off, too. Where's the same hate? Foo looks like somebody you'd see at a hardcore show. The fits are cool and relevant in the punk scene. This other guy's not giving off "idgaf what you think about this fit" vibes, he's giving off "poor understanding of what complements what, as well as proportions". It’s a mess that looks bad together and the pieces look lame so they'd be trash alone, too. Looks the opposite of casual; in fact, it looks super forced.

How do you prefer trousers to be finished?

  • Plain hem

  • Cuffed (1.5 inches or less)

  • Cuffed (more than 1.5 inches)

  • No preference, as long as the proportions work
