It's straight outta the box. I expect it to shrink a little after washing, at which point it should be right on.

it's like, everything. the facial hair, the haircut, the expression, the pink shirt, the lankiness. idk something about it all combines together into a vibe that ... well, when someone asked if you had candy in your glovebox, they weren't the only one thinking that

The notion that you can't wear a shirt and tie without a jacket is absurd. Sounds like something dumpy MC refugees would rigidly adhere to.

I like the tie in Stanley's fit. I understand where the "no tie without a jacket" rule comes from, but that it shouldn't be set in stone. I don't think the fit is world changing, but it's decent enough and I can't see anything obviously wrong with it. The shoes are pretty nice looking too.

I'd agree if it weren't well-fitting. Going with the jacket lessens the margin for error of possibly looking like you're about to make your first communion or something. But it's not impossible to look good with the shirt/tie combination. He's the go-to example, but JKISSI has posted numerous such pictures and never looked out of place. Granted, he's one of those guys who can seemingly look stylish in any get-up, but it's still proof that such a "rule" shouldn't be etched in stone. My lone complaint with the fit is that the tie is too long.
