Anyone watching? These guys all seem to be doing well with the suits. My guess is that they all had they same tailor make them suits for the occasion. Nothing like the craziness seen at other places like the NBA draft.

Was just thinking the same thing; there were some minor details (i.e., suit collar not tight around necks) but overall the boys looked spiffy.

On a side note, I am looking forward to see how Anthony Davis and Mike Iupati will look in Garnet and Gold!

What are the chances we'll ever see Bellichick in a suit? I think his closet is filled with cut-off hoodies.

On a side note: Excited for the Patriots three 2nd round picks!

Yep.

Actually, the NBA guys have DRASTICALLY improved their sartorial tastes. Up to the late 90s, they used to consistently wear 8 button zoot suits that looked 5 sizes too big. Now, they mostly wear very well tailored suits with (relatively) well coordinated shirts/ties/etc. Even though some break out a crazy colored suit, the fact that it's very well tailored kind of offsets this.

What I noticed a lot of them have working button holes on the suits and unbutton the first one.
Gerald McCoy even has the contrast stiching (red) for the first sleeve button which he has it undone......... looks like all of them are getting more sartorial savvy....
Also noticed a lot of them wear soft shouldered suits, not the boxing american cut, kinda impressed.

Even the OT from Iowa who went to greenbay wore nice soft shouldered suit with working sleeve buttons

Also, Adam Schafter is pretty sharp dresser...... for a buff guy, he wears nicely fitted suit that just fits him right

my good friend is Anthony Davis' agent.............I partied with AD and others on Tuesday at a pre-draft party. I will say that getting clothes made is a HUGE part of the draft process for the athletes (along with getting some major bling!).

Spot on analysis all around. And Adam Shefter is one of the best dressed men on TV period. He comes correct everyday!!

I mean it's pretty obvious these guys had zero input into what they wear. But still, kudos to them for not vetoing a good fit and insisting on the powder blue morning coat and pimp cane.
