...Having you said that <br /><br />I will conclude with this:<br /><br />A year ago I entered the Hugo boss store around 14th st (NYC) <br /><br />Attending was a beautiful East European blond goddess - she choose for me a sports coat,<br />she said - "its perfect, no tailoring required!".<br /><br />This coat and that one are exactly the same length, and the old one did it's job well in a few business\social situations. <br /><br />So in conclusion my ass is sufficiently covered to do business !<br /> - In this century at least ;)<br /><br />Thanks Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-67572444879664102212014-01-15T10:21:37.794-05:002014-01-15T10:21:37.794-05:00It's not so much the jkt size as it's your...It's not so much the jkt size as it's your height and that all important consideration, does it cover your butt. In NYC, the recent increase of men with jkts that cover half their ass is most noticeable on the street. The jckt sways, revealing either a repulsive aesthetic or an erotic one depending on how you're wired. Having said that, most of my gay friends don't dress like sluts. tintinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13652066200071703445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-12454110604379705652014-01-14T16:06:02.873-05:002014-01-14T16:06:02.873-05:00Choo Choo engineers are all mighty,

Is your job hip? Also, short jackets differentiate you from old poops like me whose suit and sport coats cover their butt. For a long time I've referred to the short jacket as a "Lord Fauntleroy." It's almost as bad as wearing a jacket that covers your butt but the vent is spread wide open -- a popular look affected by thrift shopping bloggers who lack three way mirrors in Salvation Army stores. tintinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13652066200071703445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-68702795611166155612014-01-14T09:22:34.043-05:002014-01-14T09:22:34.043-05:00Hello,
