Buttoned up bottom button chefs-kiss

Best of all, Tim has this look that betrays that in his own he’s absolutely slaying it with this look. I’d put money on a bet that the suit is probably from some over hyped designer brand (likely Armani because … Tim).

    Bottom buttoning a jacket is the fashion equivalent of not peeling the protective clear plastic off a new electronic device. I don’t give a flying fuck about fashion and even I feel like there is some degree of willfull ignorance required to do it. They should really just be sewn shut by default.

    Pretty much any formal event (mostly weddings at this point) will have me walking up to dudes I’m friends with and unbuttoning their bottom buttons.

    At least his pants fit, Stone looks like he took something off the clearance rack without trying it on and the waist/inseam measurements were reversed.

      I wouldn’t slam on a regular bro for any of these faux pas (except the beanie) when you see them at the one event in their year that requires a suit, but I’ll slam the guy who promotes ‘high value male’ bullshit for fastening the bottom button.

      Now I’m trying to decide if the ignorance is willful or not, because I could absolutely picture Tim being advised and brushing it off because he’s a rebel.

    At some point I assume Roger Stone will show up in a leather trench coat and start yelling about killing Toons

    Can someone explain to me what the big deal is about the bottom button? Everyone insists it’s bad to button it but I’ve never understood why. Is it supposed to look bad? It looks fine to me, it’s just a suit

      It’s a tradition that started because King Edward VII was too fat for his coat, so he stopped buttoning the bottom button. Not long after, the British aristocracy began doing the same.

      It is silly when you realize that’s the origin, but most people don’t realize that’s what started it (especially on a leftist site). It’s just become one of those unacceptable faux pas when wearing a suit, and jackets today are tailored in a way that anticipates that the bottom button is never fastened.

        yeonmi-park the anglos loved their dear long dead leader so much they make buttons on their suits that they aren’t supposed to fasten in reverence for him

        Okay I see what you mean now with jackets being tailored that way, the button being buttoned gives Dim Tool’s suit some weird wrinkles. They should just do away with the button once and for all though.

        Wearing a beanie with a suit is absolutely hideous though. Like I have no fashion sense and even I’m cringing. What the fuck is it with mediocre white dudes and turning their bad fashion sense into their whole image.

      penis sightline of course

      spoiler

      it’s some dumb shit about how it messes up the cut because the daft tailors decided to put buttons you aren’t meant to use on suits. because overweight aristos that couldn’t fasten all their buttons made it fashionable. why the button must remain as a functional vestigial organ escapes me

        It is very silly to have a button you are never meant to button. I will never understand fashion.

          The east German military coat I’m currently wearing is double breasted, but the left line of buttons is for symmetry. The left side of the rear flap is held in place with a hidden button.

          Gives me hips tho

    Tim has all the money in the world and he looks worse dudes with no fucking money. I didn’t expect much from a guy who pairs a flintlock revolver with a wakizashi to pin on his wall, but come on tim you go to these places and pay people to make you look good.

    Of course he’s probably so god damn insufferable to deal with that anyone who gets assigned to help him, will half ass it just to get him out of the store as quickly as possible because all he’d be doing was talking out of his ass about how cool and awesome he is and how he’s gonna go hang out with Roger stone, like you know who Roger stone is right? Well let me tell you.

    God the horror.

        Streaming, and his “journalism” (he was paid by fascist billionaires to run stories on how evil auntiefa is, about Muslims in Europe and how they’re replacing white people etc. He then pivoted to commentary (which his audience calls “journalism” too) and reacting to shit from the daily mail, cnn, fox etc to whine about the “left” etc. He does it while being a whiny little beanie boy. I’m not sure how he’s maintained and audience, but I guess posting pro-bourgeios, pro-fascist propaganda pays well.
