How can his suits fit him so badly?
He, theoretically, pays a bundle for them.
The material bunches up across the shoulders and hangs strangely across his butt. Kind of makes him look like a hunchback.
I dont get it.

(115,837 posts)Off-the-rack cheap suits in a standard size, probably 44-long or so and with no alterations, so he looks like a slob who sleeps in his clothes. He is reputed to do his own hair, too. I'll bet he doesn't have a tailor make his suits because he's said to be really skeevy about people touching him.

(9,353 posts)The suit he had on was pathetic. JC Penny should sue for misrepresentation.
I cant believe he does his own hair that is too precisely combed over and shellacked.
Now, the spray on tan I can believe. He doesnt know when to stop adding another layer.

(26,339 posts)I'm also sure he makes his tailor produce these baggy monstrosities because he thinks they make him look thinner.
The same thing with his Potemkin hairdo.
The same thing with his ridiculous frivolous lawsuits.
And you know what? To a certain degree and to a certain audience his "look" works.
Picture what he would look like if he didn't have that ridiculous whoop job on his head and the painted on tan. He would look like someone's grandpa. He would look more like Sheldon Adelson.
The few close ups we see out in sunlight, especially when his hair top gets blown, show how blotchy and age spotted he really is.
He fakes virility just enough to fool 26% of the population.

(28,272 posts)The ill-fitting suits are a failed attempt to take attention away from his morbid obesity.

(12,676 posts)Something cheap (for him) that "the peasants" won't be able to afford, but would be acceptable when meeting with rich clients.
Both carry off the rack $1200+ Armani suits and other designers (Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, MARC, etc..) in their Big and Tall section.
His windbreakers also seem to be MARC.
But they defiantly aren't tailored, and he's of the size that requires tailoring.
That "hunching" and bunching across the shoulders typically comes from an off the rack suit that's the smallest size to be large enough for his midsection (he looks like a 52 XLT in most of his pictures, but he's probably wearing a 50 XLT because his suits only fit when they're unbuttoned), but because he's a XL, his suits will always be too long for his arms. Also, he doesn't have a easement "flap" or a slit put in professionally to make his suit wide enough for his butt when he sits, so the back side will always ride up.
That's a trick a studio costumer friend told me about for making suits for actors playing wealthy businessman or for news anchors/late night hosts ... anyone who has to sit a lot always should have a tailor measure and put in an easement flap or slit so that the off-the-rack suit won't ride up when sitting, and will fall back naturally in place when standing.

(22,976 posts)And that's for a proper shoulder fit (the area that cannot be tailored). Then the tailor has to take in the back and sides, and sometimes let down the sleeves a bit.
Sometimes I wish we just all wore togas.
