My girlfriend has gotten a lot more use out of my tool than the Lambda Legal folks did.

I'm aware one sleeve is a bit longer than the other...other than that...fire away please.

Ok, back to basics! I don't like the way you've styled it. Get softer, thinner pants and go beltless, remove the tie and go with a white shirt. See if that removes some of the bulging at the waist but keep in mind TB is a caricatural look and you can't try toning it down by pairing it with some sort of business casual outfit.

If not losing the tie, then at least a thinner, more somber tie in a duller material. Something like a solid grey wool or cashmere tie. I also like the idea of the white shirt and slim, cropped khakis. Although, I think the outfit will ultimately fail because of the pinstriped coat. It could work better in a solid color.

Although I meant my own 6.7+ inch penis, she probably had her suspicions while I worked that job. I will stop writing now for my own good.

Something like this from Black Fleece would work well:

We're talking girth, though, right?

That new kid on the block, chorse123, has some interesting knit tie. I might indulge cause I'm curious, everyone needs more unworn ties rolled up in a dresser somewhere. Anyway they might fit if he really wanted a tie.

No one else mentions how ugly his facial hair is for his face shape?

He needs to know this; it's important.

I agree, the three inch width on the Younts would work better...but I'm not sold on wearing ties with jeans in the first place unless the jacket is pure streetwear.

Frankly, you've looked the best of anyone who has posted TB on this forum.

What shape of face do you recommend?

TB looked good on Fuuma. The conventional fit and balanced look turned out well. He represented how TB can look very appropriate for a business or formal setting. However, the more fashion-oriented look can be fine, too, imo, but for casual/social settings.

Considering that's not the advice he asked for, why should people mention it?

is it just the second picture, or is that jacket actually a quilted pinstripe?
