- Suits that are too big, particularly if the arms come down to the thumb knuckle. I call this the, "I am wearing my dad's suit" look.

- Tuxedo suits. A suit turned into a tux by the Men's Warehouse. Notch lapels, vents....

- Split toe shoes with a suit

Is this not beyond a pet peeve? Only an idiot would do this.

It's surprisingly common. I spotted it on an overcoat that I was admiring on BART this morning.

Pants that are too short.
Jacket sleeves that are too short.
That's what I hate, happens all the time when shopping for clothes. See something I like, but it's nearly always too small.


That's what you get for living in china.

In all fairness, I saw a young man with the label on the sleeve. He thought it was supposed to be there. He thanked me and promised he would remove it.

Don't get me wrong, I tell them to remove it, whenever possible. Nevertheless, it is still a pet peeve.
