    It's not just the tie. What the fuck is that vest and poppy pin? Also, is that a fucking cargo jacket?

    All around his suit is just turning me in to the Angry Video Game Nerd. WHAT WAS HE THINKING?

      I think it's a safari jacket, but it's navy instead of the usual khaki. Multiple questionable choices in a single garment.

      The poppy is some sort of ukkk troop respecting thing.

      Also, that kingdom hearts vest lol. Case study in sprezzatura: leaving a few buttons loose can look aloof in a good way, but leaving a bunch of floppy buckles loose looks like shit.

        I learned earlier today that the poppy thing is done in all the commonwealth countries and apparently started in Canada

          I was aware of it from when I used to listen to Trash Future - they'd frequently read articles about right-wing cranks whinging about who is or isn't wearing one.

          Didn't know it was originally from kkkanada, though. Makes sense that Dr 🦞 is wearing one. Honestly, it's the thing in the outfit that makes the most sense lol.
