Looks better than a lot of the bespoke we've been seeing around here recently. I don't think it's bad for your physique at all--except, I think it needs to be longer.

Let's assume you are right and I'm significantly more likely to compliment clothes made by fancy, world-renowned tailors than clothes someone sniped on eBay, while you are more likely to compliment everything equally: who's more credible?

I rarely compliment anyone on anything. I also rarely criticize. You criticize far more than you compliment. What does this say about you? What does it say about me? Who is generally more reserved and who needs to criticize others for no reason? Why would this happen?

It's funny, to have to vote for Bad Taste. Are we talking about clothing bad taste ? or bad taste as in bad behaviour ?
I for one always thought that even in english there was a difference between critisizing, which is more like judging of merit, be it in a good way or in bad way and denigrate, which to me is closer to what foo is doing regarding moo ?
Would someone that masters the english language care to explain ?
