How should pants fit now?
A special report, feat. Mach 3+ expert guests

This question shook me to my core. I know what yr gonna say: “Young Spyplane, anytime u post a fit-pic yr pants are 10/10 paradigm-shifting slappers” — wow, thank you, that’s incredible to hear ...
But truth is, the topic of how pants should fit has vexed me since adolescence… Please trust & believe that circa ‘96 the kid’s trousers were ILL-ADVISEDLY VOLUMINOUS … copping ultra-wide-leg pants, my friends & I chased an ego-death-like condition known as “total shoe engulfment,” i.e. leg-openings vast enough to ingest an entire sneaker like a damn JNCO anaconda … we looked a lot like this 2017 pic from MELODIC MASTER / STYLISH SCUMLORD Post Malone, except he comes off pretty chill whereas we def looked wack as f**k…
