i went with my normal tech fleece pant sizing on the ACG pants and they were way too big.
navy acg pants size large under 2nd gen size large tech fleece pants. disappointed there arent zippers on the side pockets and the plastic button snap seems cheap on a pair of 200 dollar pants

Dude you look good in a way that would appeal to a lot of people if you like dressing this way very much and it makes you happy I am also very happy for you, but
I wanted to say it the last time someone wore a bomber with leather derbies (uc ma-1 with 1461s iirc) but I'm going to say what's been bothering me for a while now instead and maybe you'll change your views too:
Unless you want to sort of look a little more like a skin for whatever reason (which I doubt),
the combination of a bomber jacket with traditional leather shoes makes no fucking sense at all.
You see, conventionally, a typical MA-1 style jacket (well, yours has an asymmetric zip which is a detail I personally loathe on bomber jackets but it's still very much a bomber jacket) is constructed out of water-resistant and a tough nylon and is designed to ensure unobstructed movement inside a cramped space (cockpits which gradually got smaller as aviation technology got more advanced).
It's the embodiment of a new age of garments out of new materials and new conditions we have to shield ourselves from.
Durable, Unobtrusive/Light, Warm/Safe.
The Bomber Jacket emerged in the post ww2 jet age when the western world has slowly recovered from shock the horrors of the senseless bomb war in europe, brutalist architecture with its raw honesty popped up left and right, in another 20 years mankind would have shot gigantic steel tubes strapped with explosives to the moon to let some dude walk up on there for a few minutes.
Later, the bomber jackets found their way into civilian wear and are still used today for their practicality and durability.
Now your shoes are styled after victorian era leather shoes with an cushioned orthopedic sole tacked on.
It makes for a great casual leather shoe when you want to dress up a bit not, but compared to the wealth of shoes we have available today, they are uncomfortable with prolonged use, have to be kept dry because of the leather and are quite heavy and clunky to walk in.
So all in all, the only parts of your outfit worth noting where the eyes are drawn to, the outermost layer and your shoes, don't get along at all.
The only coherence between those two items is the most shallow of them all, color, and honestly it makes you look really silly.
so what shoes are you supposed to wear with a bomber?
combat boots?
what pants?
cargo pants?
what shirt?
bdu shirt?
what kind of car are you supposed to drive when wear a bomber?
humvee?
are you allowed to board a passenger airplanes when you wear a bomber or can you only fly planes when you are wearing a bomber?
what activities can you do and what else can you wear with victorian era leather shoes with an cushioned orthopedic sole tacked on
