well your mesh is anyway :( Can anyone tell me if it is possible to make a man's sleeveless anything that doesn't look like the armholes were cut out with a chainsaw?

my partner prefers the chainsaw effect, luckily...

Speaking as the resident redneck, I like that "chainsaw" look as well. I have removed the sleeves on many of my shirts.

What I hate is this new trend of low waists on all the pants.

Hear hear! Those goddamn lowrise pants screw up everything. Attention designers!Having a 4 inch gap between our shirts and our pants makes us look like idiots. STOP with the low cut pants already! If I had the same abs in RL that I have in SL, I'd show them off all the time, but EVERYONE in SL has great abs, so I just look like a moron when I wear your stupid low-cut jeans. Seriously, knock that shit off.

I'm the opposite of Chris, though, on sleeves. I always try to wear long sleeves because no matter how much I monkey with the sliders, my arms look silly. The biceps are all messed up, the sleeves are all smeary. It just doesn't come out right.

I don't tuck in my shirts, in RL or SL....so having a shirt meet right at the pants waistline is not an issue. All my shirts are on the jacket layer and come down below the top of the pants.

At the very least those designers who make low-rise pants should put a normal pair in the box too.

That would be great if all shirts came like this. I actually like that look a lot and wear it when I can get long shirts on the jacket layer.

Amen sister! The happy trail! LOL I don't think the issue is the pants, I think it is the too short shirts. Low rise pants look really good but an exposed belly (no matter how great the avi 6 pack) looks stupid on a guy.

Agreed, but it's not as big a problem now that more shirt makers are including the shirt texture on an underwear layer to fill in the gap.

Same with me. Except for a couple of polo shirts I like a lot, I'm always in long sleeves.

All very well until you forget you're wearing underwear-layer pants so you can tuck them into your boots, and you get changed into a t-shirt with an underwear layer lower section, in the middle of the store.

Thankfully the store was empty at the time, save me and my partner, who at least got a damn good giggle out of it.

Thirding the always wear t-shirts on the jacket layer option. I personally love the low-rise jeans. In fact, I have a pair from DMC that are called "Bum'd" jeans. They're so low, you can see where to park your bike in the back ;)

We have the same problem as the guys. I'm no clothing designer, but I think the problem is with the pants template. ALL pants in SL are low rise, unless the designer takes steps to create a higher waistband with a trick like a band on the jacket layer.

When they finally (if ever) get around to updating the avatar mesh, I'd like to see an appearance slider for the waistline, as well as the pant length. Or at least a template that *allows* the designer to build pants with a higher waist.

I think that chick pants have issues too. Why can't I wear ultra low rise pants (like rl) without my ass crack hanging out? They need to be slightly higher in bad to accommodate my nice, round ass.

Besides, everyone knows, crack kills!
