ChiefsPlanet - Misc Free fashion advice for the style-challenged male.

I like this one, but it seems like it'd be awfully baggy around my waist if I got one big enough to fit my shoulders/chest. Any advice on finding jackets with a bit more of a taper?

A 'fitted' cut leather jacket is way outside my boundaries. Just seems too Zoolanderish for me personally.

See those straps on the side? All the Indy jackets are adjustable.

I like this one from their site:

$2600, though. If I could find it for around a thousand I might consider it; even if it's got the quality to be worth the two and a half grand, I'm too protective of my money to be comfortable dropping that kind of cash on one item of clothing.

I just worry that the extra 6-8 inches of waist space on an XL or XXL jacket (which is what I'd need for my shoulders/chest for most of these brands) would look dumpy.

Ah. I get what you are trying to do there. Don't you think that would accentuate your curves? Seems like it would make you look top heavy.
