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.

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

The long con

Back in college, circa 2010, there was a guy that dressed like it was the early 1900s all the time.

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.

[–] DrWeevilJammer@lemmy.ml 47 points 8 months ago (2 children)

No need to use a stick - if you're The Macaroni, you're allowed to use your.........elbows

They’re just after his chocolate factory.

If you take away the top hat it doesn't even look that old fashioned lol just like a really well dressed guy

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 54 points 8 months ago (2 children)

The top hat makes it though.

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 19 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I like the top hat too, I'm just saying that's the only part that makes it seem "historical"

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago

It’s equal parts classy and sassy.

A really well dressed guy that lives in a cool climate. You wouldn't wear that shit in Texas or Florida or Missouri.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 45 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Of course not. Who wants to summer in the colonies? My word.

The upper class did, even before air conditioning. I don't know how they did it.

[–] herrcaptain@lemmy.ca 18 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Probably with the aid of their fainting couch.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 18 points 8 months ago

I'd love a fainting couch, all I have is this stupid blackout futon.

Perhaps it is this man’s display of the wealth required to buy these dandy clothes which procures said marriage proposals.

Meanwhile I, despite flawless erudition, am judged by my daily wear of “wife beater” apparel. I blame the casual utterance of such profanities.

If my tank top offends any woman for being wife beater toppage, I say to her “Madam, I have no wife. Would you please to hand me another beer from yonder fridge?”

[–] braxy29@lemmy.world 27 points 8 months ago (2 children)

this whole thread hurts me. ugh

guy makes his own clothes, or at least that was the case originally.

i have big respect. let the man slay. you're welcome to your wife-beaters, and others are welcome to their finery.

[–] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 27 points 8 months ago (2 children)

The post you're replying to is painfully obviously a joke

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.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 22 points 8 months ago

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.

I wonder where he finds the money to get these clothes that are probably tailored. Must've cost a fortune.

[–] Sunforged@lemmy.ml 104 points 8 months ago (5 children)

Someone shared a link to his socials, he does his own tailoring.

[–] mrmacduggan@lemmy.ml 57 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ExfilBravo@lemmy.world 32 points 8 months ago (7 children)

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.

Just use regency era dating standards, showing ankles is basically a proposal right?

Plot twist: the marriage offers are all from a single obsessed stalker.

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 18 points 8 months ago (4 children)

Oh, innumerable offers! Manifold! Multitudinous!
One might even say - a plethora!
