Why does the bowtie on Jamil not surprise me at all?

Not everyone has the cash of the Blue Horsemen...

Not everyone was lucky enough to get in on Anacott Steel

Agree that all the boys are looking mighty sharp.  IMO, a well-tailored suit is the third-sexiest thing a guy can wear (behind 1. Military dress uniform and 2. Tuxedo).

On the downside, Jamil is also looking a bit like the tallest member of the Nation of Islam.

Hey Chick! What are you doing tonight??

It's not about the money. In fact, they would save money on tailoring by purchasing something that fit better off the rack. Aside from some minor mistakes (buttoning the bottom button on the jacket, tie length too short) it's all about fit. Think about it, they look more ready for the 8th grade dance and less like D-1 athletes presenting themselves in front of the conference.

I'm a little disappointed that the shoes are cut off in the picture. Based on the top half I would not be surprised if there is at least one pair of square toed shoes. Square toe shoes are the absolute worst. They don't need to be showing off a double monk strap or mixing textures, but a little polish goes a long way on even an inexpensive pair of shoes.

It's better to draw inspiration from 1987 rather than fit like 1987.

Where in the hell do you think a 6' 11", 6' 9" and 6' 7" guy buys a suit "off the rack"?

A store? Designers offer jackets in "long"

A store? Designers offer jackets in "long"

Someone has never gone suit shopping with a tall person before 

I am "only" 6' 6" tall, and buy suits in not just Long, but Extra Long.  The sleeves need to be lengthened from 1-2 inches (depending on the brand) for them to fit properly.  This sometimes requires the tailor to add additional lining fabric as there often is not enough there. 

The idea that someone who is taller than I am and probably has longer arms can just pick up an off the rack suit that comes even close to fitting properly is silly.

Guarantee that did NOT come off the rack.

Or from T. J. Maxx.

Nice to see Hunt dressed up.

Looking at this photo, no one else wants to be near him.

What a douche bag.

The point is that it fits!

Guarantee Jordan spent a fortune on this


Again, proving my point that lots of money doesn't directly translate into great fitting clothes.
There is an entire Tubmlr dedicated to Jordan's poor taste.

I'm more concerned about alumni who tuck their t-shirt into their jeans, or wear turtlenecks indoors. I've seen both at the BC far too many times.

[esotericmindguy]

What a douche bag.

Yep. Big time. As for the short tie look, that's 100% fashionable these days. I think it looks good, ties to the belt or below look silly.

...or iron creases in their jeans.

Unless Hunt has 2 right hands, there is a guy right next to him.

Hey Chick! What are you doing tonight??

Spending my anniversary with my beloved.

Got any pics, though?

I think you are confused.

I'm with you on the tucked in t-shirts, but I didn't know that turtlenecks had to be put on and removed on the front steps.

[Dr. Blackheart]

I'm more concerned about alumni who....wear turtlenecks indoors.

Those are Dickey's, not turtlenecks. Thoughts on sweater vests?  Golf attire in the winter is so out of style.

As for suits, who wears them now-a-days?  The only suits I see are on the soccer moms at the mall--of the "stretch" material.  

[DomJamesToTheBasket]

I'd like to nominate the Blue Horseshoe post with all of the pics as Post of the Year!

Scoop....now with super improved unintentional hilarity!
