Well, then you can purchase one of the suits from the two you posted to slam Tom Ford and perhaps with a less fruity pose, you and your epic slightness will prevail.

Did Daniel Craig look less than masculine in Quantum of Solace?

Not a fair argument; he's playing the most masculine Brit ever! lol But I do get your point.

So what?

This guy looks masculine:

And he may wear a size 36 jacket and have a 28" waist. I don't know if his outfit is by Tom Ford though.

Ok, "perhaps" you can look masculine when you are that size..but please don't pose like you are about to fire off three snaps in a Z formation.....maybe that is the kicker.

he hasn't been relevant in years. he created the genre and was king of it for quite some time, but he's been phoning it in for years. but take my opinion with a grain of salt, i'm a fan of those "other" sirius/xm shock jocks

Yes, I have a few times. One of my friends is addicted. He works out in the woods tree cutting all day, and he listens the entire time. He tried to get me into it a few times, and I just couldnt. I dont mind crude humour, but it was just plain crude.

most of the time that's not the case but he's definitely not for everyone. Personally, i think he is better now than before coming to Sirius.

lol.
I think you can look masculine at that size. It's more about the presentation and attitude. There are loads of guys over here that prove that point. Of course, I could kick their asses with my index finger, but that's another story.

Stern is not for everyone, but I'd argue the vast majority of people in this world suffer from a high degree of repression, self loathing, and hypocrisy. The goal of that show is and has always been to rid the world of those problems by getting people to speak freely, as if they were in a locker room where nobody was listening. If you can get past the dick and fart jokes... you will find the greatest interviewer ever. People of great decorum have come on his show and let their guard down to reveal things about themselves they never meant to share: Barbara Walters, Martha Stewart, Petey Greene, Jessica Hahn when she was relevant... the list goes on. now... whether or not even Tom Ford can make him look good.. that's another story.

Jay-Z, Brad Pitt and Daniel Craig (at appearances, not in the Bond movie) have all worn Tom Ford and made it work in my opinion. If the list doesn't sell you on the masculine capability of the Tom Ford brand maybe this sexy/ist image will?

Yes, for the money you could go bespoke. But like so many advise when looking for a custom/bespoke suit go with the tailor who's style is at least in line with your vision. What is a man to do if he likes the TF look? Bring a copy of an image to a Saville Row tailor and say, "Do what this other guy does"? And I know Mr. Ford isn't a tailor, but nor is Flusser.

With all that said, I'm really looking forward to seeing Howard Stern in his suit. I think it has the potential to look like a disaster given Sterns sartorial choice, but I hope for the best

The man's show is hilarious and he like his show is a lot deeper than people give it credit for. However, when it comes to style he's best suited for radio.
