I agree with you in general, but @chocsosa just does snug jackets as a style choice. A few people (myself included) have said this to him and it always comes down to, "Thanks, but I'm good." Which is just part of having personal style.

Sometimes when I post stuff I get grief for wearing too many patterns -- although now being multi-patterned is, annoyingly, more on trend -- which is a legitimate criticism that I accept, but still think, whatever, it's how I dress. Knowing exactly how you color outside the lines is liberating.

Thanks for the tip on personal preference and feedback. After losing almost 40 lbs in a year I’m actively buying new clothes now, but still wear jackets / sweaters that fit a bit loose so of course everything seems to look tight in these pics. I’m still trying to get a handle on how “tight” clothes should fit and it always seems that my clothes just are never tight enough for the current trend / styles.

Great fit! Side question, do you use a suede protector on your suede bombers or is that just for shoes?

Good question. I don't know the answer to it because I have not used it for other things than shoes but I read somewhere, don't remember where, that perspiration goes up when using it on clothes... you risk sweating more... don't know how true is that or not because I have not experienced it myself...
Hopefully someone could enlight us.
