MrJameGumb, 
If you take away the top hat it doesn’t even look that old fashioned lol just like a really well dressed guy
SatansMaggotyCumFart, The top hat makes it though.
MrJameGumb, Yeah I like the top hat too, I’m just saying that’s the only part that makes it seem “historical”
SatansMaggotyCumFart, It’s equal parts classy and sassy.
thetreesaysbark, I was about to make this exact comment, satansmaggotycumfart
brlemworld, A really well dressed guy that lives in a cool climate. You wouldn’t wear that shit in Texas or Florida or Missouri.
ArbitraryValue, The upper class did, even before air conditioning. I don’t know how they did it.
herrcaptain, Probably with the aid of their fainting couch.
Death_Equity, I’d love a fainting couch, all I have is this stupid blackout futon.
Illuminostro, Think about the cowboys and dandies who wore wool suits in the 1800’s.
YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH, Lots of enslaved labor doing all their shit for them.
GBU_28, Of course not. Who wants to summer in the colonies? My word.
NielsBohron, 
mmm, yes, indubitably.
The_Picard_Maneuver, 
What about the cane?
RustyShackleford, I remember my great grandmother had a fancy shillelagh, she mainly used it to poke or smack the kids lol.
Death_Equity, Have you never met a whore monger?
Infynis, 
Accessibility is very modern
Maeve, "Manners. Make. The man."
VaultBoyNewVegas, You left out a th in maketh.
Maeve, It's been a minute. ;p
MrJameGumb, The cane gives it some hipster flair lol
psud, A man should be able to defend himself
Ledivin, …are we looking at the same clothes?
MrJameGumb, Presumably, yes
unreachable, 
something something chocolate factory
pete_the_cat, /c/grandpajoehate ?
Edit: probably doesn’t exist yet or I’m doing it wrong.
Feathercrown, Fediverse links are !community_name, but idk if there’s a grandpajoehate here yet
pete_the_cat, Thanks!
threelonmusketeers, It exists, but it is dormant. You could make the first post!
Be the change you want to see in the world, and never let Grand Pajoe’s attrocities be forgotten!
OneCardboardBox, Wait, what’s wrong with Grandpa Joe? He was a man sick with the humiliation and hopelessness handed down to him by society. Only the joy of seeing his grandson get a chance to be somebody was enough to cure him.
threelonmusketeers, Sounds like you need to start a competing !grandpajoedidnothingwrong community!
pete_the_cat, IIRC it’s the fact that he was all sickly and bedridden until Charlie finds the golden ticket and he pops out of bed like nothing is wrong.
the_artic_one, 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.
gamermanh, 
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
roguetrick, Well at least he wasn’t wearing a shirt.
Vilian, did you offer to marry him?
GBU_28, No dowry?
the_artic_one, Obvs out of my league.
pete_the_cat, Back in college, circa 2010, there was a guy that dressed like it was the early 1900s all the time.
activ8r, 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.
Gradually_Adjusting, 
The long con
amio, I say! Someone managed to outcringe fedoras! Jolly well done, that chap.
ech, Just because you’re insecure doesn’t mean everyone is.
Maeve, Fedora > bowler
pete_the_cat, Cheerio!
Fiivemacs, Pip pip
momocchi, 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
Maeve, The boots in the right picture trip my trigger!
ArbitraryValue, I’ve asked my girlfriend to wear boots like that but now I think maybe I should set an example myself…
Maeve, With boxers and a leather tool belt with power... Wait, I'm not walking into that ..
FreshLight, Sure, buddy
Bonehead, No, really, he had received countless offers of marriage. Mostly from young gay men. OK, exclusively from young gay men, but it still counts.
hperrin, If you’re a young gay man, that’s all you would want anyway, right?
bstix, Ok, it was exclusively from “somewhat old” gay men and obscenely drunk cat ladies.
SkyezOpen, obscenely drunk cat ladies.
Hm, where can I get an outfit like that?
bstix, You start with one cat. Then go to 7/11 for booze.
Wake up in the morning thinking you thought you let the cat out, but really you let the back alley cats in. So is life.
JoMiran, 
I’m not digging the blue and red outfit but the other two are dripping.
Chestnut,
residentmarchant, While very cool, I have to say I was not expecting the stripteases in all of his videos
MagicPterodactyl, For real, grow up and show us your cock already 😡
Empricorn, Oh no.
Honytawk, OnlyBooster™
cyborganism, I wonder where he finds the money to get these clothes that are probably tailored. Must’ve cost a fortune.
Sunforged, Someone shared a link to his socials, he does his own tailoring.
DrWeevilJammer, 
bdonvr, Damn that’s kinda fire
M137, 
Did you just use “fire” like that unironically…?
I really hope you’re just a dumb 14-year-old, it’s to depressing to imagine an adult doing it. It’s the same kind of soul-crushing cringe as the youtube comments that kids spam on every video, like “wake up babe, blabla dropped a new vid”.
Please, just fucking stop.
ThoranTW, Such a pathetic comment
bdonvr, I dunno I grew up with the term and I’m 25 maybe get with the times gramps
gmtom, Wake up babe, new whiny baby comment just dropped.
Leviathan, I don’t think the 14yos are saying “fire” anymore for a while now, that’s old hat, daddy-o.
Honytawk, Someone called you old, huh? Must be horrible
MajorHavoc, Nice. Might also account for a few of the marriage proposals. Being able to sew is very self-sufficient.
bunkyprewster, Ladies want a man who can sew
mrmacduggan, 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.
NielsBohron, 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.
cyborganism, That’s so fucking cool. Good on him.
Feathercrown, When did this go out of style? We need more people like this guy.
Honytawk, Another casualty of Climate Change
psud, Surprisingly recently. There are photos and film of men dresses like this at work. Perhaps after WW2, in the age of cheap mass market clothes.
PrettyFlyForAFatGuy, add 30 years and you have yourself a jacob rees mogg
Zehzin, 
If you’re gonna go through all the trouble to dress weird at least pick an attire that looks cool
psud, I guess there really is no accounting for taste. I guess it’s lucky he’s not trying to impress you
Maeve, I'm okay with men in corset, bra, girdle, shapewear in general., thongs (must get a Brazilian wax, for the look, ofc)and stilettos. 8 hours, consecutively, that's it (under wires optional, I'm not that cruel).
teft, 
I would want to exude this energy:

Maeve, You .. You do know why powdered wigs, don't you?
psmgx, Explain
Maeve, Sores from syphilis lol.
TassieTosser, Head lice.
Maeve, :-D
Ultragigagigantic, 
With $20, you could buy many peanuts.
skuzz, Explain how!
Illuminostro, Know why they carried sachets? Because they all smelled like unwashed ass.
Maeve, Yeah. I remember the opening chapter from Shogun. I wondered if people just got so used to the stink they didn't notice?
feedum_sneedson, Did you just type a stutter?
MeatPilot, (edited )

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.
GBU_28, How will you beat your boy, to let him know when to beat the ladies?
SkyezOpen, He can get another boy for that.
MeatPilot, Just beating off with boys all the way down the line.
Bernie_Sandals, 
This is exactly what God intended when he gave monarchs divine rights.
GBU_28, Ah true
DrWeevilJammer, No need to use a stick - if you’re The Macaroni, you’re allowed to use your…elbows
fogstormberry, I want you to know this was an angry upvote
Illuminostro, YYYEEEAAHHHH!!!
MintyFresh, YYHEYH-eeEaahe-shshshshsh!
Edit: sorry I can hear that second picture and tried to type it. Not sure it came through. Lol sry.
Rev3rze, Sounded perfectly to me!
The_Picard_Maneuver, I see that as a win also.
Mastengwe, Press x to doubt.
ivanafterall, 
Honestly, you'd be surprised. I never went this far, but as a man who used to own many colorful blazers, bowties, pocket squares, fancy pants, etc...women respond to the confidence.
