Usually premium leather isn't my material of choice for shoes since premium leather usually doesn't look too good all scratched up…
Simon,

Simon - So what is the excuse for the camera phone flicks when you are in your room…. next to your "sock drawer"?!? I mean, I can practically see the drawer in question in you awful quality photo.
-
You get back what you put in. At least, that's how I choose to look at it. Just my opinion.

@simon626:
okay i just pulled my camera out and i realized why i don't use it. I don't have a memory card to put in there….i will try to get one sooooon!
I can send you one if you would like. I would rather see quality flicks from you that badly. Also, a little critique on this fit:
1. That jacket is way too big for you and looks bizarre with such tight jeans.
2. The shirt is too big with the tight jeans.
3. Tight jeans and chunky sneakers like the Gibson Dunk you are wearing do not got together well.
4. The fit just looks sloppy overall.Resolutions
1. Get a pair of bootcut jeans or straight leg.
2. Get some boots.
3. Ditch the jacket/ shirt and switch the shoes with some vans.I am no expert at all and have fallen victim to similar things as well. I just figured you were looking for some advice so here it is. Hope you don't take it personally. :-\

And honestly, hell yea i know that everything is totally out of proportions. The flannel my sister bought me. she refuses to buy me mediums so almost all of my shirts are large
The reaaallly loose jacket on top of the flannel is just something i put on because my mom told me to grab a sweater before i left the house.
But honestly, i dress pretty sloppy with a gang load of mismatching items on a regular basis. Sometimes simply because i REALLY have no idea what to wear, and other times because i honestly don't even know what counts as fitting "right."
Your criticisim is greatly appreciated. I'm still trying to learn how to dress smart and impress allllllllllllllllllllllllllll theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ladiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeseeeeeee
Perhaps it's a generational thing, but I've never understood the tight jeans thing…
Sometimes I think it's just me, but then again, there are times when I'll be sitting in a bar in Greenwich Village and think that a lot of these guys look like their wearing the leggings I see middle aged women wear in supermarkets
-
I think only really young guys (like Simon) can pull off skinny tight jeans…and even then, only if they're skinny. Oh, unless they're rock stars or musicians, who seem to get away with it quite nicely. If you're closer to 30 and up, in general, tight jeans on men looks a bit odd. But as I've said before -- how you appear in your tight or loose jeans has much to do with the confidence you display.

I think you may have hit it right on the head. If you're so skinny that skinny jeans still have some wiggle room in them, then you're great. But I think a lot of regular sized guys are getting into the tight jeans thing and they have no business doing so. They look like sausages.
As for the rock star thing, that's just a costume. Who the hell wants to wear a costume all the time? What do you think Iggy Pop wears on line at Costco?

No shirt and leather pants… Duh!

@simon626:
Btw, my jeans have zero wiggling room, my scrotum feels like it's constantly being held by the most delicate denim covered hands, the jeans are skin tight around my thighs, and my ass fills out the entire backside with absolutely zero loose material.
Really man?!? As DougNg said in the Internet Forum Terminology, Acronyms & Etiquette Thread: "Don't say anything to someone on the forum that might get you punched in the face. Treat everyone with the same level of respect you would the biggest motherfucker in the bar with a shotgun in one hand and a bottle of Jack in the other."

Dude, perhaps you sized down too much ? If this is how your jeans feel day-to-day at nearly 2 months of wear, that must really suck.

It was just gross!

I actually didn't think it was that bad
Kinda weird, but not disrespectful
-
It was a bit tongue and cheek. ::) Just way too descriptive and completely unnecessary!
-
I wasn't offended. I talk about my boobs on this forum occasionally….so I kinda put Simon's statement in the same category. No big deal for me. But, umm....the validity of wearing such tight jeans day-to-day is a different topic altogether -- even if you're as young and skinny as Simon !
-
I dunno, the more Simon posts on the topic the more I think "denim leggings"
Of course, I'm from a different generation. When I was growing up, the loose jeans hanging off your ass was in, and my friends think that my jeans now are too tight (I consider them a more classic fit) For reference, I'm 32 this year
And they work for me. The "look" I like is the one where I can do pretty much everything I love to do (climbing up the rocks at Laguna Beach, running on the beach after my now-ex-girlfriend, sliding on my ass down the mountain in Lake Tahoe, rappelling down the side of my hotel with just paracord, practicing martial arts with my trainer in a parking lot, or just sitting in a pub drinking out of the pitcher) and still look like I put some thought into the way I look. The standard fit jeans just work better for me. Skinny/snug jeans would just restrict my movement and crush my manjigglies too much for the activities I do, especially when I'm spread eagle across a rock 30 ft up clinging on for dear life
My girlfriends 15 year old son likes a loose, dark wash denim paired with Affliction or Ed Hardy, which I can kinda understand. Its what his friends like and they like to compare notes about their collection of stuff. For his age, it's fine. That being said, I'm getting him the IHSH-08 for his birthday. I'm a good stepdad
Jody already stated that the Superblack shirt will make Steven the envy of all his friends when they find out how exclusive and expensive it isI know we're straying off topic a bit, but we ARE talking about different fits: skinny/standard/bootcut, all of which are covered by IH, so I'm gonna allow it

You left out one option: have the shirt tailored. I occassionally have my work shirts tailored because of my odd proportions (42inch chest, 31 inch waist). Regular sized shirts are bunchy when I tuck them into my waistband, and slim fit shirts make me look like a busty floozy.
