Whelp, now I know where Tiraleur is getting all his financial backing to make such horrible looking clothing.http://edition.cnn.com/2014/02/14/world/gallery/sapeurs-congo-gallery-2014/index.html?hpt=hp_c5

I enjoyed that. Thanks for posting it.More an article than a story, but the second page has a nice synopsis on the different way people wear black tie.

Shut up. You don't even go out any more.I loves me an excuse to wear semi- formal wear.
I have never worn a tuxedo and I hope I never have to.
This is what I imagine Harveybirdman's soul looks like:Thursday.
You heard me. Tuxedos aren't at all appealing to me. No fun in them. Zilch. Nada.
Why do you find them physically more comfortable?
great cloths and mine are cut a little more comfortable in the trousers
So you have your regular pants cut more narrow, and thus less comfortable?
Ya kind of threw me there for a minute.My lounge suits are mostly cut with slimmer trousers. Depends on the fabric and what I'm going for.
Most men rock a tuxedo very poorly, I have concluded. Even when properly done, I think they look kind of penguin-ish, and I think men, by and large, look better in lounge suits.
I agree with your first sentence, but not your second. People do it poorly as hell, but done properly it looks fantastic. Sean Connery in a tux is a winner no matter how you slice it. The only penguin characteristic I see isn't from color but from fat ass Americans waistlines.
Come on! He rocked the shit out of that onesie and ponytail.Yeah, but Sean Connery in his prime looked like a winner in almost anything. I say "almost" because there's always his costume in "Zardoz"!

As to his being "in shape," the guy had been a Mr. Universe contestant, f'r chrissake. Of course, back in those days the development of competitive bodybuilders wasn't nearly as exaggerated as is today.
Totally. The guys today are practically mutant.
Yep! Better bodybuilding through chemistry!
bitches don't give a shit about testicles.I've always found it interesting that some guys would rather have biceps than testicles.
