Business up top. Party down below. Not feeling it. MAYBE with a more casual blazer/shirt/tie combo it could work.

Haha.. It's funny... It seems like its common sense... but a lot of people just don't get it.. (I was one of those guys)... Infact I think there are quite a few people on this thread, sf, tsbmen blog, and others that don't seem to understand that if u don't have the body for it don't even try to wear it... For example if ur built like a pro football player stay away from apc's or if you have a big upper body and smaller legs don't wear tapered trousers... Like I said it seems like common sense.. But it just ain't clicking for some people

thanks for the input guys. actually think its funny how 50/50 split the love/hate is on it but its all good. Actually didnt notice the blending until after my gf snapped the pic and went off to class but i thought it was kinda cool 
Marmour, no doubt bruh. I'll leave the camo all to you.
RFX stays coming through with the gifs Sorry bro, but at least I warned you haha
and GAGJR, as for the jacket, its in no way cropped. Here's a pic of me wearing it full suit a few months back:

Haha. I'm on my phone and at a glance, I thought the legs were PS'd out.Kinda cool how you're legs are actually blending in with the base of the tree though
Glad you like the stuff,A! I know they'll get good wears. The sweater would be an excellent layering piece as well as a standalone on warmer days.
Thread is moving today! Will reply to the posts when I get home.

How is their quality? I feel for $20, it's worth the order.

You're on the right track but making big false generalizations. APC has love for big boys and people who just prefer relaxed fit with rescues. Yea Adrian Peterson should be rocking petit cures but I'm sure he would look fine in a pair of rescues. Same with tapering. Should you get pants with a11" thigh 8" knee and 7" hem if your squatting 900 lbs and dead lifting 4 plates? Of course not. But you can still taper your pants to fit. No one needs 20" hems.

I feel like you would regret wasting $20. I doubt those will last 1 day in the rain or a week of wear in the summer.

Doesn't look good. Jacket is too much of a suit jacket. Jacket needs to be more casual to work and a lighter color would've worked better.

Yes and no. Honestly there are things that I would not try to pull off, for example I still don't feel that I could pull of a modern more sleek motorcycle leather jacket, nor would you ever catch me in a cardigan no shirt look, or wearing a shirt with over 2 buttons unbuttoned. But I do believe that if you wear tailored clothing even when not small...like me, it actually makes you look at least the size you really are, or a little smaller and not like you're 10-20 pounds heavier.

A friend of mine says he's ordered from them in the past, and it's good quality. However, he can't vouch for the shoes, so I may wait for some more opinions or just go for it and hope it was worth the $20.

Jackthreads is super legit. But those shoes look like I could get them for a dollar at a supermarket in the Philippines.

True.. Not being specific about a more slimmer or standard version of apc's (non relaxed) def did not serve my argument well..neither did not being specific about the leg tapering... However it's just amazing to see the range of people that try so hard to emulate the slim/fitted look but fail so miserably because the look does not correspond with their body type..

Sarg I totally agree with u.. However there is a big difference between achieving a flattering through tailoring... And achieving a look that looks flattering on others through tailoring.. That is the mistake I made... One guy I admire on this thread is Niidawg, he always a flattering tailored look... However, u will never see him rocking anything overly tailored or slim fit.. He seems to find that perfect balance for his body type... What Niidawg does seems to be very simple and almost a blueprint for others to follow in regards to fit.. But somehow many people try their hardest to emulate certain looks and do themselves an injustice

Hey fellas, I need done dress type shoes to wear with jeans top go clubbing in Vegas.. Any recommendations?

I completely agree, which is why I attempt to never wear something so overly tailored that it makes me look like a sausage. Being top heavy in the chest doesn't help, that's for sure but even then I do think that most of my outfits, especially in regards to blazers aren't overly tailored to the point where it looks like I'm squeezing into clothes...at least I hope it doesn't. I want to wear stuff that demonstrates that I lost 27-30lbs but I don't wear clothes that says I still need to drop another 5-10lbs so it can fit and that right there I think is where I must agree with what you're saying of an overly tailored look. I actually hemmed...yes I learned how to hem myself now...a pair of pants to have no break but not sure if I'm really feeling them and may end up benefiting from a 1/4 inch more or so, still debating that though.
