Also love the overall look, and coveting the jacket somethin' fierce. I don't think the jeans look too tight, but maybe that's just because I sympathize w/ @LesserBlackDog's junk-in-trunk-itis.

As a fellow of the large thigh/caboose club, I understand. Just saying, as part of the clubhttp://threads.dappered.com/showthre...h-LARGE-thighs, it looks like they are skin tight in the thighs and again around the calves. I have pants that fit me the same way, IMO they just look too tight. Just putting in my $0.02, not trying to hate. Again, I like the overall look posted.
I think that's generally understood (it is by me at any rate). Feedback, criticism, etc. is really the point here. I recall that a few years back I posted a look here that I thought was pretty damn slick. Pretty much everyone agreed. However, one person made the point that my tie wasn't cinched against my neck and it looked kinda sloppy. He was right - and more importantly, I now always keep that in check when I wear ties. That criticism was useful to me in the long term. As long as everyone maintains a helpful, friendly approach (and everyone pretty much always seems to do so), I don't think anyone should be shy about critiquing what people post here.
Thanks! H&M, Zara, Topman and Express are my fave brands as they carry slim-fit sized in dress shirts, pants and suits that fits me very well, with little to no alterations required.
I would love to buy J.Crew suits and clothes but they're just baggy as hell when I wear them. Same story for Banana Rep - they don't even carry size 36 here!

In reply to some of the comments I've received about my recent WIWT:
1. I have a huge ass/legs and I ain't embarrassed of 'em.
2. Those are the only "skinny" jeans I own. But they are actually more comfortable than most because they have a little stretch. Still, I only wear them occasionally because they are less conservative than most of what I wear.
3. I chose those jeans with that particular outfit because my girlfriend and I were going to see a pseudo-controversial/adult-themed theater performance at the local university that evening. It seemed like an appropriate occasion to wear an outfit that leaned younger/trendier than my usual. Plus my GF is an unabashed ass/legs woman. I like to be suitable arm candy and indulge her when we go out.
