people compliment others on this site for being fit, and trash others for being not fat, why should skinny be off limits?

I'm just saying, thats his business - he came here for style advice, not to be told he might be an unhealthy weight.

The only time I've seen someone getting ripped on for being fat was Mr. Moo, and let's face it - what with his comments to everyone else and his general attitude he deserved it. Complimenting is a friendly thing to do, I don't know why you think that comes into the equation.

because you don't often see fat models? being skinny is more often classified as more attractive than being fat? therefore your comparison at the fundamental level is faulty.

ok, fair enough. still think he's too skinny to be healthy but let's not worry about the health of the common member

Yes, and being skinny can be totally natural, where as being fat is just unhealthy and can be helped - there is an obvious difference between having a naturally wide or thin body frame and being fat.

lol at being concerned for him. I'm not concerned because overweight people masquerading as "average/normal/athletic build" are more likely to have joint issues, heart problems, etc... but because they look bad in their clothes. Fuji looks dope.

anyone recognize the brand of the jacket? thrifted it this weekend and the tag is blank (zoomed pic) m+o, r&b, sc

That jacket is so amazing looking and slim fitting for a thrift find! I like it almost as much as a lot of Julius leathers I've seen. Do you shop at thrift stores much? Every time I've looked the clothing is cheap looking and only the kids stuff will fit me, so I don't even bother anymore. But perhaps you have better stores where you live. Love the pale color palette too (which could easily look sickly on many people) but you make it work.

I love it PP. I've always been a fan of monotone and everything hangs off of you so well.

I'm all for the superthin look, but I actually think fuji's nonexistent thighs look really bad. guys like drew and labelking are just as thin/small as him, but either due to proportions or fit i never see a silhouette like that from them

saying I thrifted it was probably a bit misleading - I got it at a sort of designer consignment place so I didn't pay goodwill prices

Im not actually that thin, I just have very thin legs. I have a 38" chest and a 28" waist, is just a big drop. I've put on 30 pound since I started posting fit pics so I suppose I was very thin then.
