Disagreeable Menswear Post Of The Day

An unpopular opinion that won't go down well with SF.

I am sure he is an affable guy and salt of the earth chap but the first thing Koalabear needs to do is take a step back and stop buying anymore stuff till
a) he loses some fucking weight and
b) he knows more about fit and works for his body type


Mainly a) though. It is not as if he is morbidly obese, he is just shaped like a pear and it really shows in his clothing choices.

He said he just works from home but he wears a jacket and tie everyday i.e dresses for the internetz!

Big in Azerbaijan too. Big oil money. Big VB salaries. Big yawn

Another key VB fact: VB is the number one indoor sport for American high school girls. Nuff said

Well if he gets b then he won't need a. The problem isn't that he's fat. Sure, that makes things more difficult, but not everyone can be a toothpick like Monkeyface Monkeyface . His style is the problem. It's the same thing with Donnie. The right clothing choices would halt most of these issues.

So now we're supposed to take into account the quality of these people's lives? Their inner beings? Their souls?

I thought you were a pretentious snob, not a hippie.

No, the opposite. An opinion about someone's clothes should not be seen as a personal attack, but people's egos are too tied up with their clothing that they feel the need to defend every single choice they made, even if it's a bad one. You'll never improve if you won't admit your flaws.

As an aside, I'm as much a hippie as I am a pretentious snob.

I see what you mean now. I thought you meant we were supposed to take those things in before the assessment.
 
You can't become a real snob until you start wearing waistcoats instead of shaggy fisherman sweaters.

Like Donnie, his shape is not ideal but whose is anyway? But his reliance on thrifted clothes - this is correct, no? - does not help. so much more could be done with alterations. He is not fat but has big hips. He needs a proper alterationist to adjust his jackets and trousers to fit his shape.

If you look, he does not pay close attention to jacket length and they are all over the place.

Thrifting is fine if the pieces fit or can be made to fit. Neither seems to be in play here.

If he cannot afford better duds and/or spring for alterations beyond hemming, he probably should not be posting on a menswear forum

Orgetorix is an example of choosy thrifting and solid alterations.

Once again, who wears an odd jacket, raincoat and tie on a hayride with kids?

The hair an ostrich cut?

Can't be arsed to look at previous pics but if he were to slim the hips and thigh seams on his pants could help reduce the pear.

To me these aren't even the biggest issues. His color and pattern matching is what causes the most problems. Look at the hayride pic Leland posted. He's got olive pants, a lavender shirt, a maroon tie, two different color beige jackets, and black shoes. I mean, what the fuck is that supposed to be?
 
Beige always looks awful on him since it washes out his skin and hair. Shirt should be burned or donated to Leit goes without saying.

Pro VB had its moment in the sun from around '75-80. IVBA & USVBA

Family friend played in both: Garth Pischke (Denver & El Paso-Juarez). Was league MVP. 48 inch spike vertical. Pretty fly for a white guy. Only the Cubans did better.

In junior high everyone idolized him. Wanted to be pro VB stars or astronauts or porn stars. Life moves on.

He's probably colour blind. Like the guys who constantly try and open the LOCKED toilet door when I'm in there - it's fucking RED which means OCCUPIED; GREEN means it's free... Are you a DOG?! In which case just do it on the wall.

True, his colour choices are very blah and antagonistic. He favours Browns & tans which are bad for his hair & complexion.
 
What's worse is that he has taken to critiquing others. Since nobody tells him to lurk moar he is probably infecting a wave of noobs with his visual virus.

here, someone is telling you to pick an avatar. so pick a damn avatar and be done with it.
 
The fact that he has no reason to be suited everyday doesn't irk you guys? This is a dude who dresses simply for the internetz and does it badly.

It does irk me, but I'm banned on SF so can't say anything.
