    For taller gentleman, the full break works. However, shorter below 5’9” it’s best to keep a no break or slight break depending on the type of pants worn. Great tips!

  • @real_fjcalabrese

    Great practical explanation and advice. I favour a somewhat vintage look, and the full break is too much for me. At 5'11" 205 lbs, I'm not a small man, and I cannot pull off either the full break or no break looks. I know guys who can pull off these looks. Experimenting with different breaks is the best way to discover this.

    I totally get the break now. I like somewhere between the slight to medium. I wear very high quality leather shoes that are stylish or leather ankle dress booth type, so showing off my shoes is a good thing in my style. Got over a dozen new dress pants incoming soon to take to tailor. So I now understand how to assess the break and trouser tailor look I want. Thanks.

Anyway, I've just started to address my style issues especially concerning the pants I wear. I'm 5'10, 215/220ish and usually a 36/38 in the waist, should I go with 36x30/38x30 to go with my chelsea boots? I currently wear 36x32/38x32 and now realized it is way too long. Thanks in advance brother!👍

Your correct. Minor break is a great look to show off the shoes. Medium break is a very overall look. The full break is what i see alot of old dudes wear lol. Also inference to your sponsor Peter Manning NYC he came up with a excellent concept for men who have difficulties with length among other things. I love the trousers, jeans,etc.. i also think they do a fantastic job selling great quality clothes ..for a reasonable cost. Great job again bro❤

    I'm a medium break and cuff pants man myself but I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone. By expanding the styles I wear with slight changes bit by bit. Currently I'm been trying slight breaks and no cuffing. This Thanksgiving Sunday I had ordered two slim corduroy pants (in brown & dark grey) which are tapered in the legs rather than the straight leg ill fittings I had once worn as a kid. What break do you think would be appropriate for a slim corduroy pants? PS: I've added to my boot collection a pair of duck boots in black/tan. You video on "10 Best Fall 2018 Shoes Under $100" had me keep an eye out for a duck boots I would find stylish enough to wear with non-rugged casuals. It comes with waterproof full-grain leather, waterproof suede, wax laces, and a sneaker like sole. The downside is for the high quality materials it is well over $100 at $180 but in the long run the looks, function, and durability should pay off.

    Fitted clothes and less break in the pants is so much better than baggy 90's fashion. Waist 42 pants all bunched up at the bottom when I was size 30. LOL that's just awful
