I had a coworker who used to dress like this, his go-to was a naval peacoat with a top hat.
On Halloween he came to work wearing a hoodie and jeans and it freaked everyone out.

That’s one hell of a long game. Respect.
did you offer to marry him?
Obvs out of my league.
Knew a guy who wore a trenchcoat, black, and a kilt, standard red tartan, even when it was 110 out.
Was chilling with his younger brother one day bitching about how fucking hot it was when this badass walks up in said attire with his guitar slung over his shoulder, goes “shut up you pussies”, pulls out his guitar, and does a bit of improv chords while singing the last couple of things we’d said, something like “it’s hot as balls out here”
I wish I could be even a 10th as cool as that guy was, because goddamn
Well at least he wasn’t wearing a shirt.
The long con
Back in college, circa 2010, there was a guy that dressed like it was the early 1900s all the time.
I would want to exude this energy:
But I know I would exude this energy:
If I looked like this, I’d have to beat the women back with a stick!
Because they are filthy peasants of course and I can’t have them touching my finery. Also my wrists would be too delicate to wield a stick, so I’d have a boy for that.
No need to use a stick - if you’re The Macaroni, you’re allowed to use your…elbows
I want you to know this was an angry upvote

Yeah. I remember the opening chapter from Shogun. I wondered if people just got so used to the stink they didn’t notice?
YYHEYH-eeEaahe-shshshshsh!
Edit: sorry I can hear that second picture and tried to type it. Not sure it came through. Lol sry.
Sounded perfectly to me!

If you take away the top hat it doesn’t even look that old fashioned lol just like a really well dressed guy
The top hat makes it though.
Yeah I like the top hat too, I’m just saying that’s the only part that makes it seem “historical”
It’s equal parts classy and sassy.
I was about to make this exact comment, satansmaggotycumfart
What about the cane?
Accessibility is very modern
The cane gives it some hipster flair lol
“Manners. Make. The man.”
You left out a th in maketh.
It’s been a minute. ;p
I remember my great grandmother had a fancy shillelagh, she mainly used it to poke or smack the kids lol.
Have you never met a whore monger?
A man should be able to defend himself
A really well dressed guy that lives in a cool climate. You wouldn’t wear that shit in Texas or Florida or Missouri.
…are we looking at the same clothes?
Presumably, yes
I’ve met people like this. They tend to have delusions about their wierd thing. Im confident those proposals were mostly in his head or from one off jests.
I’m a school bus driver and I’ve been proposed to by third-graders. I don’t exactly take them seriously since I’m older than their grandparents.
Nah I’m sure he got some joke proposals from people that are actually attracted to his eccentric dress code
I mean, he does look pretty sharp. It’s just kind of silly at the same time
What’s funny is that he sort of bragged about these joke proposals to the article
joke proposals
one off jests
Those are the same things
I used to dress weird (anything from HS Thompson in Fear and Loathing to Victorian-ish numbers to goth stuff) for the hell of it and got a lot more positive attention than otherwise. I suppose it was effort and confidence more than anything else, but who knows. I never took it very seriously, so not sure what the article’s subject’s real story is.
Getting more tangental but thought I would share. I went to fandom cons in my youth and middle age and some fen had like costume identities. We stopped by a guys place spontaneously because we were in the area and when he answered he was like. Give me a min and then came back in his costume and invited us in.
I wonder where he finds the money to get these clothes that are probably tailored. Must’ve cost a fortune.
Someone shared a link to his socials, he does his own tailoring.
That’s honestly very cool. As long as he’s not being an ass about it, I think it’s neat that he’s expressing himself on a daily basis and wearing what makes him happy.
he’s expressing himself on a daily basis
I read that as “he’s exposing himself” and I was wondering why everyone is so cool with it.
Damn that’s kinda fire
That’s so fucking cool. Good on him.
Nice. Might also account for a few of the marriage proposals. Being able to sew is very self-sufficient.
Ladies want a man who can sew
I just wear shit from gap and have been married three times
get on my level noob
The Gap gets a lot of hate in my experience but I don’t give a fuck because all their clothes are comfy and fit my frame perfectly
While very cool, I have to say I was not expecting the stripteases in all of his videos
For real, grow up and show us your cock already 😡
Oh no.

Wtf i know this guy he’s a friend if mines younger brother, haven’t seen him in years now but he does always look that dapper
It says “countless offers of marriage” but not that it was women offering to marry him. So it could also be dudes. Schrödinger’s sexuality I guess.
he’s in a long-time relationship with another man. my guess is his “proposals” run the gamut (and i expect a majority are made in jest).
I’d marry him to share his wardrobe
Could also be a null value making it uncountable
Zero is countable

It was mostly dogs, but since they can’t give consent he refused
Why don’t we dress cool anymore?
Lots of people do. Wear whatever you want.
Not like this they don’t! At least not in any of the places I frequent. Sure, people will dress pretty slick for formal parties now. I guess maybe this was all formal wear for its era, and not something worn daily. Or maybe it was worn daily for the very wealthy.
join a fashion hobbyist community. there are, in fact, many groups for people who want to dress up. some people dress up quite a lot, and this guy is an example.
Yeah this was pretty rare fashion in its era, a small selection of the very rich wore it but most people were dressed far more blandly than the average today

I could dress cool… for money.
Or with money.
Biggest reason? Dressing this fancy is expensive. Prohibitively, in many cases, at least as an every day thing. I like to dress up from time to time, but I would need a lot more fancy clothes in order to dress up to that degree every day.
We’re not hiding the odeous stench of our bodies anymore.
I regularly wear a full-length cloak in public. Nothing is stopping you
I wouldn’t really apply the word cool to a meticulously thought out, complicated outfit. Cool invokes effortlessness, this is anything but. This is impressive and grandiloquent.
because good clothes don’t fucking exist anymore, all you can buy is trash tier stuff made in an indonesian sweatshop by people who can barely afford food, which the shop then charges 200 bucks for.
it just makes no sense to buy anything other than tshirts and jeans these days, everything else is just extra profit to evil companies and isn’t of higher quality.
Back in the day clothes were actually high quality and practical, if you can get your hands on some authentic second hand stuff you’ll see the difference.
Just use regency era dating standards, showing ankles is basically a proposal right?
That is one dapper motherfucker
Plot twist: the marriage offers are all from a single obsessed stalker.
Oh, innumerable offers! Manifold! Multitudinous!
One might even say - a plethora!Pepe, tell me. What is a plethora?
Very, very much a lot
Wasn’t it supposed to be El Guapo?
And you don’t know what a plethora is?!!
It was el guapo asking Pepe…
