All cool, jacket fits great, love the colors but I'll never get used to those wide trousers. It's like a slim person is connected to... Someone else's legs. XD
I have the same thoughts as @Monitor here Jake. You have an incongruous look if you ask me as you are wearing a slim fit cross zip jacket with wide leg trousers, and the contrast is too great. In my opinion, slimmer trousers would make a more harmonious outfit.
I love everything on their own though and I'm not trying to say these trousers should never be worn, but maybe just not with a slim fit jacket.
They are my widest trousers. I think the leg opening might be 20" so they're wide, though this is a 1930s jackets and from what I've seen, jackets like this were not worn with slim trousers back in the day and I think they looked good... not that I'm wearing anything exactly as it would have been worn back then.
Also, is this jacket really that slim fitting? Based on how it fits me, it does not actually feel like my slimmest or tightest jacket. The arms are slim, but so are the arms on my Freewheelers jackets, especially on the Caboose. In fact, this jacket technically is wider in a few key areas compared to the Caboose.
One thing that makes the trousers look too wide is that I cuffed them too high at first. Here I cuffed the trousers lower and I think they don't look as wide. Again, this jacket actually fits slimmer than the RMC does. Maybe the length of the RMC makes it look like it fits slimmer? I'd be willing to post more comparison photos to discuss further, but I may end up derailing this thread if I do.
Hat is a new Optimo btw.
