Ok wait, Im confused, you state in your signature that you dont have a lot of money to buy expensive clothes which is part of your excuse for dressing like a toolbox on acid, yet here you are posting hundreds of photos of yourself wearing different blazers, 2-piece, and 3-piece suits along with a bevy of whack ass huge knotted ties. You obviously had enough money to buy all of those suits. Why dont you just stop buying the stupid looking ones and spring for something nicer that actually fits and looks cool?

Hey you're still here! Cool.

Yeah, I'm just curious at what the forum considered to be "the style apocalypse" that everyone was making it out to be.

I mean at present, you're better than many of the shlubs that I see walking around...

My dad is the same way. He has a walk-in closet the size of a japanese apartment, and its filled with dozens and dozens of illfitting, polyester, garish colored "suits", blazers, and vests.

Their motivations may be different however, as my dad likes to apply the "quantity" over "quality" mindset, which is the prime reason for his shortcomings, or should I say, largecomings (he's fat).

I could improve further on this if I wanted to. The sleeves are too long, and you guys dont like the big tie knot.

If you read back over this thread, it's been covered.

I have dozens and dozens of suits, blazers, and ties, all of which I paid very very little for. A lot of the members of this form buy suits costing well over $1000. I am not in a position to buy even one of those, much less as many as my wardrobe requires.

That having been said, I buy and wear what I like. I happen to like the suit in these pictures (and the shoes, shirt, tie, etc) and except for the sleeves, it fits how it is supposed to.

This outfit is an improvement from the original outfits.

Still . . . the jacket sleeves are too long and, PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, LOSE THOSE SHOES!! PLEASE!!

Also, please start thrifting for 2-button jackets, not 3-buttons.
