I've found some decent suits but most of
them have got pants flared like 70s
bell-bottoms with "No modify" capability.

Now I liked the Beatles and all that hip and mod stuff.
But today I wish to wear a more classic style. So
maybe some of you designers will take note of
my critique. I mean why not just give us the
straight leg cut, or even better, provide some
choices of cuts in the suit in which case you
could (and should, I believe --- I'm a big believer
in the importance of copyright) retain the "No Modify"
option.

Thanks for listening!

actually its not all the designers fault as the pants do not come down low enough to give a standard strait cut effect. Big problem lies within the mesh template for pants themselves.

Just a comment maybe LL will hear me

I tend not to buy clothes if they're no mod.

Which is why I set all my clothes to mod before I sell them, including the men's clothing I offer

Actually this may be a bug and you may in fact be seeing them more flared than they were designed to be. I've seen it happen... Depending on certain video settings, two people can see two very different things - and the cuff flare was one case where it was drastically different. I believe it had something to do with having the avatar bump / cloth setting on or off. Or maybe the avatar vertex program setting...

Yes, Devyn is quite right. For instance, on my screen, no matter how much I crank the flare slider, they never flare very much. So I have a bunch of pants set with what other people percieve as wicked flaring.

If anyone has a pair of my pants that are like this, let me know. The permissions might be messed up, but they're intended to be moddible.
