LMFAO. They have a suit for $133 and a TIE for $249. Yes, a SUIT for $133, and a TIE for $249.
Is that really counterfeit Brioni clothing? Because the suit is quite openly being sold as the real thing, and $2,000 is within striking distance of the genuine goods. Actually, that’s more than very good suits from brands like Hickey Freeman cost at full price from a reputable department or mens store.
And he can find you a date to go with that suit. If you’re not too picky.
He’s a narcissist and therefore believes that he looks good in anything. Tailors are for losers who need their clothes tweaked to help them look right.
It’s entirely possible that a jokester on his staff told him that Obama preferred a slim fitting pair of pants, and that Obama HATED baggy trousers.
Well, be fair, there is a lot more material in a DT tie, than there is in a suit.
I remember I once bought a pair of super long pair of pants without trying them on. I looked like Trump did in that picture. Rather than looking like a buffoon, I got some tape and hemmed those bad boys. Then I walked into my job interview.
Does the president not have any duck tape? No safety pins? No stapler? Aren’t the bottom of his pants going to get all raggedy?
many are hoping for that to happen soon
Trump’s pants bear a striking resemblance to his buddy Kim Jong Un’s. Here are a few pics of Kim’s stovepipe pants:

NPR reporter Elise Hu tweeted about the comparison last month: https://twitter.com/elisewho/status/988295008087261185?s=19
Vanity Fair has an article about Trump’s pants, which I haven’t read yet, but which I will try to get to after I get my casserole out of the oven. What Is Going on with Trump’s Pant Legs? One Humble Theory | Vanity Fair
“By George, a handsome man look good in ANYTHIN.”

I may have rushed to judgement. But I’m always suspicious of any high priced brand being sold at a deep discount on Amazon.
That’s because he can’t afford the rent on a brick-and-mortar store, especially since no one would shop there.
According to my daughter in and out of the rag trade*, brands have two lines, a quality one and a shitty one to fill the racks at outlet stores because no manufacturer produces that many seconds or overstocks and survives long. She laughs because her store uses the same cloth, often the same patterns, as those quality brands while selling at close to outlet prices.

They are both just huge Talking Heads fans.
Not to be serious in this delightful thread, but it illustrates a huge problem very well. One of my aunts (who I assume voted for him, based on other horrid things she’s said and the fact that she’s batshit crazy) got miffed at me one day when I mentioned his lack of sartorial sense. 100% serious, she said to me “What’s wrong with how he dresses? I think he always looks nice.”
For the sake of family harmony, it was good that I was too flabbergasted to respond. I have rarely been so utterly dumbfounded. How could she not see the terrible hair, the orange skin with white raccoon eye patches, the knee-length taped ties, the suits that look like a kindergartner cut them out of felt and Elmer’s glued them together? How could she look at that complete mess of a physical specimen and say “Sure, that’s good.” Not “Eh, he’s too busy to bother” or “Many men don’t care about fashion,” bullshit justification, but at least some effort put in to explain it. But alas, it was just “He looks good to me.” Trump supporters are structurally incapable of seeing the bad in him, no matter how glaringly obvious it is.
And they do NOT get a pass about they themselves not giving a shit about fashion if they ever mentioned Obama’s tan suit or Hillary’s pantsuits. etc.
I mean, other than the fact that I’d have to look at his stupid face, I could look at his fashion fails and laugh all day. But it also bothers me on that other level, that there are just some people who are so blinded by their own failings that they can’t even acknowledge his most obvious, non-partisan ones.
Don’t forget the mandrill-violet eye bags…
Can’t Trump That
My favorite Twitter comment: “He pooped his trousers on the way over. There’s a tall, pants-less Secret Service agent in a limo nearby.”
We know he has scotch tape…for his tie.
I’ll admit I used a scotch tape hem on occasion in my younger, lazier days, but he has no excuse.
Also, as someone clinging the short side of “average height” by my fingernails, I always have to hem pants. :mad:
Nice loose pants make the diaper less obvious.
