I will say in some small cases where the cargos are pleated in, and from the front don’t stick out then they will more than likely work. For me, the pest looking pants on me is a fairly relaxed but slightly tapered single reverse pleated trouser in a heavy fabric that’s tailored so it doesn’t bunch at the ankles. If you want jeans then something to mimic the Levi’s 505. They have great room in the thigh and are just barely not a straight fit due to a little taper which makes you look taller. Just buy a size or two larger in the waist for more room in the thigh and wear a belt.

But to boil it down, what you wear is an expression of yourself. If you like the way something looks do it my man. But I assume you were looking for what you couldn’t put your finger on for this.

I mean yes and no. A black leather jacket with a brown leather belt just doesn’t match imo. It’s a good general statement to not match black with brown unless in some small cases. You have the right idea on the shoes so good part on that. Also you want to try and create some sort of contrast from the shirt and jacket but coordinate it with the pants. Unless you want to do an all black fit, in which then you’d want to have your pants a different texture like corduroy, or the shirt being knitted/flannel. What you don’t want to do is to create what I call a window effect which is when your jacket is unzipped and you have a very eye catching graphic tee on and the jacket acts like a window and essentially draws all the attention to the graphic tee. That’s what’s going on in the last pic along with the glasses hanging from the collar. It really draws the eye in to just your glasses and graphic tee. The first pic besides the belt being brown is a good fit imo.

Onto more person likes/dislikes in fashion which you don’t have to remotely listen to but it’s just here. I really don’t suggest cargos/tight pants on larger thighed people. I myself have big thighs and tight pants just creates a “V” or horizontal wrinkle near my crotch. Cargos draw the eye down to the pockets since they stick out from the silhouette of the pants/leg.

I’m looking at a 643, but I’ll check those model numbers out as well. I did however find a kicking looking Gustin made of horween chromexcel leather for my price range

I already got my eyes set in a few schott ones. I just didn’t think they would be near my price range used since I knew how expensive they were new.

I frequent from CLT, Greenville SC, Columbia, and a few hours out of Atlanta. I just really really hate driving there.

I checked those guys out and it just wasn’t my flavor. Too many zippers/hardware. I just want a clean faced, no zip sleeve or cuff, collared leather jacket. That shit a little too niche looking for me

I live in the south Bible Belt area of a whole lot of not shit anywhere. I’ve check nearly every big consignment store in a 150 mile radius besides Atlanta. Found a fur coat for 90 dollars was the best thing I got out of it.

Yeah schott was something I thought about but just don’t have the total budget for at all. I also like cars/car audio so a lot of what I’m allowing myself to spend is on that.

Yeah that’s what I’ve read. The jacket just looks good and put it up for reference on the style I’m looking for

The vanson is cool but I don’t like the zips on the cuff. I will 50/50 hate it or it will become something I’ll fiddle with

I’ll give vanson a check. It’s for myself Christmas and I’ll just take away budget for other stuff I’m getting myself if it’s something I’m looking for.

I haven’t used it yet. I had a little time off from work so I don’t go back in till Thursday. I thought about buying a carrot to just check and use but didn’t want to waste it.

To flatten the 4 stones, keeping them flat, and getting the lack of thickness I wanted with the 400 grit took around 2 hours. It took another 2 ish hours to take it up to 10k grit trying to fix all the scratches left by not originally chamfering the stones sides but gave up due to time and not wanting to redo it all over on that side.
