Hey man, I've followed your advice, after that I got my first purchase of 2012:
I went from using this:

The denim is a Levi's one, I don't now if it is a "skinny one" but it definitely feels more tight and less baggy than my old one. The lady said is one of the "new cuts" (what the hell is that lol) and not a classic denim. Anyway, I'm happy.
Sorry about the picture quality
I hope this is a step in the right direction. Now I need new shirts, 2 shorts, new belt, and a fancy shoe

Definitely a lot better, but the jeans still look a bit large in the crotch area.
Does that can be fixed by a tailor?

with jeans, typically no, because of the way they are constructed (no split rear seam). it's hard to tell if it is loose-loose or just kind of anti-fitted. maybe a size smaller will get you a better overall fit.
Mmm, maybe.. but I think it's just the photo that make it looks kinda big. I think I'll be a little bit self conscious about my package area though, never have used a pant that fits tight over there.

I wouldn't fret over it too much, it's just one pair atm. just something to think about. it takes a bit of time to nail things down, and it's likely you'll hate everything just got in a year anyway

This is the only fashion trend I really miss. And yes, Reebok low-top Exofits with the gum sole. Sigh.
How's the build quality on those items? Does it break apart after a few uses?

So sharp. What was the damage?

89 british pounds = appx 113 us dollars.
since it shipped to the states, no VAT saved me some money.
not a bad price for a limited release, considering the regular price of clarks.

What do you guys recommend for undershirts to wear under button ups and sweaters? I have a hard time finding shirts that aren't short and fat and that stay tucked in. Where are the undershirts for tall, skinny men? I'm 6'3" about 175.

they all look to be made out of the same really shitty sweatshirt material.
Wear the button up under the sweater. Problem solved.
I wear thin black cotton t-shirts as an undershirt on hot days. Nothing when the weather is milder.

I DON'T KNOW! Educate me!
American apparel? *shrug*

Undershirts seem to be a divisive article of clothing in this thread, that's all.
Looks like they're pinned to look like they're form fitting.
Also: none of those people pictured have the same build as the mannequin.

it's a sign, you weren't mean to wear them.
alt answer: what is the rise on your pants/are they hanging off your hips?

Tuck them in your underwear and fold the sides back when you put the shirt in.
It's like someone inflated a suit jacket made of nylon.

I don't really trust GAF when it comes to fashion anyways. When American Apparel is seen as fashionable, we have an issue.

Yes and it looks really good on myself. Nothing to be sorry about.

You don't have to trust GAF... but if anyone tells you that your jacket looks good, THEY are someone you cannot trust. Sorry, brochacho.
AA isn't fashionable. It's merely meant to be used as cheap shit to build/pad layered outfits with.

You rather look like a black Michelin Man? WTF? Wear a normal blazer, my man!
freenudemacusers

...you would with a padded nylon blazer? both are pretty casual jackets, and the prada jacket isn't cheeky-formal like viktor and rolf or thom browne.
Sure, if it's that cold outside I will. Then again, if we're talking about 'dressy' I don't think yours fits that category either.
I might ask the same thing about your jacket.
The answer is no to both. That's why you have a nice suit jacket or blazer. Made of wool/tweed/etc. Not ripstop.

You don't wear a normal blazer at -35C. And it's not a puffy coat, it's not even an inch thick. You are thinking of the coats from the early 2000s. It's not like that at all.
