That's incredible...


Its not an issue of money - they just dont know better. And unlike some of the better dressed athletes (LeBron, Blake Griffin etc) ... they refuse to hire PR folks who can point them to the right path.

Then again, they are no different than 90% of the people out there who dont care about how they carry themselves.

do you think it's that they don't know any better or that they know differently? I ride public transit to work ... right through compton, watts, the area formerly known as "south central" and i see a lot of very carefully put together men wearing those kinds of clothes ... 6-button suits that hang nearly to their knees. i think it's a cultivated look, just like street wear with skinny Japanese kids. of course, my favorite athletic dresser of all time is the laker's lamar odom, who always looks like he's ready to lead the marching band at halftime.

Algerians are completely bonkers..

They will never win anything because of their temperament.

The goalkeeper tried to headbutt the referee for Heaven's sake.

I think did a coloration-only foofing of Iammatt, too. In your case, I could have also re-shaped your ugly English pockets, but I was too lazy, and it would have been outside the scope of my original objective

Nah, I think that's just the thickness of the tweed.

I know you submitted something for foofing, but I haven't had time to get to it yet. It's more time-consuming that Vox's, which didn't require any structural manipulation.

The jacket collar creeps up the shirt collar like anti-gravity lava.

In other words, that collar is planted. I could windmill the arms and the collar wouldn't move.

I lowered the front balance, but didn't make other changes I'd personally like to see: lower gorge, more natural shoulder line, lower chest pocket, a slightly lower buttoning point, etc.

I could, but I'm not sure how much it would reflect a realistic change since I can't tell where his actual shoulder line is.
