These gents all have about three-quarter shoe coverage.

I've been thinking about why you would cover your hand. Are you a security guard? Have you blacked-out the flashlight you were holding?

It's big, black, cylindrical, and runs on batteries, but it's not a flashlight.

Cordovan, by contrast, "feels" more countryside and rural to me and I'm not sure that would have been right for the rest of the outfit. Anyway, thanks for the feedback; it's all grist to the mill.

You make some very good points HF. After thinking about this a bit more, instead of using the term "formal", I think "flashy" is more appropriate. The outfit is pretty subdued, and then you get to the shoes and BAM! I think that's more accurate than stating they are too formal.

Please tell me it is not, because I have difficulty believing what i am seeing here!!
Edit: Yes even probably a lollipop stick. Whatever it is, lose it bud. It does you no favours.

What is the fucking point of this comment? Stop worrying about whatever is in his mouth unless you have a personal wish to take its place.

He has an identifying hand tattoo (lips on thumb and pointer finger).

I believe it's a gun that is pointed at the photographer, who he took hostage after too many complaints regarding how dark the last photo was.

It's a measuring tape and protractor. I was meticulously measuring my Borrelli collar for yyw. I felt bad after he made a thread and couldn't get a single member to take 5 minutes. Poor guy.
