Thanks... I hadnt thought about brown... that might just work. Black might be just a little too understated - with the black shoes, it would be black from the waist down

I probably wont be shopping online, prefer to try them on before buying.

LOL thanks for the replies

I guess i had it coming when asking for opinions Jacket was on sale, something that tends to determine alot of my fashion purchases. Unfortunately the wife will hit the roof if i tell her i want to sell it and start again (looking for both jacket and pants)

Maybe its for the best though. I quite like those baseball jacket style jackets that were popular here (Japan) last year; team that with a set of denim type pants for a street casual look... Might work, right?

Thanks! Well as i said, she isnt a fan of me buying snowboard gear if i already have pants (she is of the "Buy once, buy good" opinion), so at the moment she is refusing to help me out here

Mind you, she did advise me on this jacket (or at least agreed it looked ok), so according to a few here, she might not be the best person to advise me on the pants

thanks to all the honest/painful advice i went out and bought a new jacket as well as pants (I think half of it was that i wanted a new jacket)

I'm going with this now:

The DC jacket is somewhat thinner than my North Face one, so i'll probably keep that for colder days or something. More features on the NF one as well, but i like the look of this 'street casual' setup. Wife isnt happy, but i got a great price on both of them so...
