Is Tom Colicchio (vintage 2008) the best dressed man on TV?

For those who watch Top Chef, are you as impressed as I am by the fit and fabric of his jackets? Even his casual looks have been really great. I would guess Cucinelli but I have no idea

in general, I'm fairly unimpressed with what he wears, especially at the judge's table.. looks quite stiff and he looks uncomfortable wearing it (at least to me)
maybe I've missed the {presumed} Cucinelli

what season have you been watching? He wears the softest jackets, zero padding, some shoulders look like spalla camicia, fabrics look like buttery cashmere. Collars snug his neck perfectly, even when sitting

I'll check it out again (shouldn't be an issue as my wife watches every episode several times)

I'm really talking about this season. Not sure what happened to his wardrobe between seasons but he went from average, stiff suits to some great looking stuff now

I think Tom looks pretty good. I like his relaxed, dressy style. But tonight he's wearing a shiny black jacket with really skinny peaked lapels. Meh.

I think Jon Stewart is the best dressed man on TV.

Yeah - I didn't really like his cocktail party outfit last night.

I haven't watched Top Chef since season 2. Has he changed his wardrobe since then? To me, his casual looks were quite clubbin' and wreaked of midlife crisis.

I've always been partial to Morley Safer myself. I love his selection of check shirts, and he always carrys a pocket square.
