The fit in pictures 2 and 3 looks good. But in the first one it looks like you're losing your pants.
Photos are excellent as usual. Overall the look is a bit too much construction worker (Zimmermann/carpenter) for my taste. I'd leave the hoodie out of that ensemble to upgrade the look. Of course, I'm very picky about this. If you are a construction worker going to work that's a great look and great clothes for the task (even if the colleagues will most likely not see the point in spending that kind of money on Japanese designer clothes ). If not, I think a plain black or red wool sweater (turtleneck, ribbed knit) would be a much classier choice for a non-construction work environment. Nothing against hoodies per se, btw. Just in this outfit it downgrades the look of the other really nice items.Till

Not true, Simon. You got some Lando certified kicks, no? Next step would be some good leather shoes, a favorite jacket (cotton,nylon, leather anything goes) and maybe a nice watch. Stuff doesn't need to be expensive. You could look into J. Crew for the jacket, Timberland, Redwing and Wolverine for the shoes. Check out the belts I listed, too.
You could get a funky Casio G-Shock as a watch or even a nice classic Swatch, all under $100. If you wanted to spend a little more you could go to Seiyajapan and get a G-Shock with screwback or a nice Seiko monster.
Or go to Westcoasttime:
http://www.westcoastime.com/m16typidivbe.htmlWe got the above for my GF's father two years ago. The expensive Swiss gold watch is in the drawer ever since and only used to go out to bigger events.
This one is also pretty nice:

http://www.westcoastime.com/zennoswatthe.htmlOf course, you could go with a used Omega, Rolex or IWC but even used we are talking $1000+.
The thing is that if each item in itself is a nice item, it is hard to create a non-nice look from that.

Yes. And you can customize the bracelet very easily. The markers have Tritium vials and glow like crazy in the dark. The bezel can be used for a very simple 12H second time zone. The movement is a Swiss ETA automatic. It runs quite nicely.
That gives me an idea! How about an IH 21oz denim bracelet in blue and black in the style of these Nato bracelets. That would be awesome. NB: The Nato style bracelet are simple straps. They are looped through the spring bars and continue under the body of the watch. The one in this pic is not a real Nato bracelet. Here you can see what I'm talking about:
http://www.westcoastime.com/gshocadcasfo.htmlHaving that kind of bracelet in denim would be no problem to manufacture and the denim scraps that otherwise go to waste could be nicely re-used (and generate a profit) in this way. The wabi sabi on a watch strap would be awesome to behold. For the metal parts, use the same color metal as in the IH hardware. For branding use a small IH branded piece of tan leather at the tip of the strap.
