Price is definitely not bad but I wouldn't quantify it as fully customized, at the end of the day there is nothing like true Bespoke. Second thank you for the link I'll be checking it out today as a bigger guy.

I have been browsing this thread since the last one and I am in a predicament and need some help. I recently started upping my wardrobe to a nicer more mature look and am having a hell of a time with plants/slacks.

My problem is this, I've always had large upper legs from playing a lot of sports so finding slim or fitted pants is a huge pain in the ***. I usually have to go up in waist size to get them to fit. Otherwise my legs are screaming for help. Then of course comes the issue of the pants being too large in the waist and fit weird. I recently purchased a pair of Express Photographer slacks and really like them a lot but of course the sizing is all whacky. I had to get them in a 36x30 when in reality a 34 would have fit in the waist nicely but the upper legs were too damn tight. Any tips or info on other pants to try out would be great.

Thanks in advance. 

Honestly your best option is to do what you did but then have a tailor take the pants in at the waist.

lol the pants are tapered. It's just hard to see cause of the way I'm leaning on my table.

Unless you mean I should have them shortened? I intend on doing that, bought them and realized they're a bit longer than I like, I'm taking them in with a few pairs this week.

Son that white tee under that looks so bad and the double cuff on pants just finished it off . IMO don't get mad

I can't help the white tee. It's shaped like that cause both of my hands are up holding the camera.

It was a sunday morning...I wasn't about to throw on a white collar.

I'm not sure if you all know this, but permanent cuffs on trousers can be put in by a tailor. You just need an extra 4-6 inch on the inseam depending on how thick you want the cuff to be. 1.5-2" is what most people go with.

If you plan on tucking in the shirt, it would be fine. Only shoes that are OK out of the choices are the Clarks DB. I wore Clarks DB myself to a plethora of interviews before spending $500-900 for decent shoes was ever possible. I would opt for more traditional colors though, primary talking about the tie. I've hired an employee at a previous job who showed up in a polo and chinos simply because he was the best candidate. The other 2 came in suits. Granted it wasn't an upper management spot, and only pays $45k/year.
