20 years of proving you too can dress like a Robber Baron… who owns a railroad… where a train is named Thomas… while caring for Buffy and Jody… and bringing gifts to all the worlds children in one day #Newyork #newyorkfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit #bigguys

“Invest in a gym and you’ll look and feel better” ”I’m sorry, but I’m in a relationship at the moment. But if I’m ever single I will certainly and immediately ask how I can be better looking for you, random anonymous internet person with no picture or posts” #Newyork #newyorkfashion

“I wish I had an occasion to wear a suit” ”Hey, you woke up, time to celebrate!” #Newyork #newyorkfashion #suits #suitandtie #menswear #necktie #mensstyle #plussizemalemodel

Trying to finish Winds of Winter but instead just buying new clothes… #newyork #newyorkfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit #bigguys

My annual apology for anyone having to walk behind me on a snowy sidewalk in the city. I’m well aware it’s like driving behind a little old lady in a giant Cadillac you can’t get around no matter how to try. #Newyork #newyorkfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit #bigguys

“Do you really dress like this everywhere you go?” ”Of course not! For example, there’s that 30 minutes between waking up and finishing my shower every day” #Newyork #newyorkfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit #bigguys

“Aren’t you cold?” ”Look, every gene in my body has been carefully selected to survive a Nordic winter. My biggest challenge is resisting the urge to club baby seals and steal their fur to make new clothes” #Newyork #newyorkfashion #suits #suitandtie #menswear #necktie #mensstyle #plussizemalemodel

“You need to teach me about fashion” ”Everything I know about fashion ended in 1935. So I’m not the guy to tell you what’s in this season. I mean, I’m wearing a Bowler Hat”

“The derby is absurd” ”Thank you for noticing my talent of coordinating my clothes and personality!” #Newyork #newyorkfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit #bigguys

Ever been someplace where, if you stood still long enough, you know someone would be looking for the little plaque about what fat old man this statue is of? #Newyork #newyorkfashion #mensfashion #mensfashionblogger #ootdmen #dandy #bigandtallfashion

Email: “Hi Dan, We’d love to invite you to experience YSL Beauty Lash Clash Extreme Volume Mascara” “Excuse me? I’m a little offended here. Are you implying I don’t already have lashes for days?” #Newyork #newyorkfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit #bigguys

Stripes elongates you and makes you look taller. That’s why I’m considered the tallest Hobbit in all the Shire! #Newyork #newyorkfashion #gentleman #suitedup #wiwt #bigandtall

When the weather man states it’s formally a blizzard and you think “Great, I hate those casual blizzards without any dignity or decorum. Just spreading snow everywhere willy nilly.” But then you look outside the window and realize “Oh c’mon! At best this is a business casual blizzard” #Newyork

One simply does not go on the NYC subway without a jacket, tie and hat… oh wait… sorry… wrong 20s #Newyork #newyorkfashion #suits #suitandtie #menswear #necktie #mensstyle #plussizemalemodel

Well people on the internet have asked for it so here it is: My birthday suit! No seriously, at birth, instead of a team of pediatricians, a team of tailors whisked me away for bespoke pinstriped swaddling #newyork #newyorkfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit #bigguys

“What do you wear on a casual day” ”Exhibit A” #Newyork #newyorkfashion #mensfashion #mensfashionblogger #ootdmen #dandy #bigandtallfashion

“Is it ever ok to put your hands in your pockets while wearing a suit?” ”Only if you want my ex-navy father’s ghostly hand to appear and whack you upside the head. At least I assume that’s what happens to everyone else too.” #Newyork #newyorkfashion #suits #suitandtie #menswear #necktie #mensstyle

“I’m surprised you’re not at Pitti Uomo” ”I hardly need that when every day I peacock in my own personal Pity Uomo” #Newyork #newyorkfashion #mensfashion #mensfashionblogger #ootdmen #dandy #bigandtallfashion

“Do you know any place that a tie is still required?” ”Alas! They are all long gone! Much like the area where my neck should be, which ironically is the only place it’s still required” #Newyork #newyorkfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit #bigguys

“You look a bit fussy” ”Um, I believe the FORMAL term is PERSNICKETY thank you very much. Really people, I’m wearing a tie and bowler hat here” #Newyork #newyorkfashion #gentleman #suitedup #wiwt #bigandtall

The moment you realize the only reason your bowler hat is not falling down around your head is because you have developed crazy old man eyebrows that have grown large enough to hold it up. #Boston #bostonfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit #bigguys

Quick to check in on the state of men’s dress in Boston. Despair grips me… I fear I may be too late… #Boston #bostonfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit #bigguys

Relaxing train ride Man: “You knw you can take your jacket off?” “Um, I’m relaxed, not ready for bed” #Newyork #newyorkfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit #bigguys

“I’d love to see the inside of your closet” ”Ok well, first, here’s the outside” Note: this is a joke. I do not actually own a full city block in NYC for my closet… yet #Newyork #newyorkfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit #bigguys

“I’m worried what people will say if I dress like that” “Hey, I say, be the positive reason people have something to talk about” #Newyork #newyorkfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit #bigguys

“You look like you played Rugby!” ”Well not to brag but, running into things and knocking them over is one of my core competencies ” #Newyork #newyorkfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit #bigguys

Fun fact: if you stand in Grand Central Station in NYC dressed like this long enough, tourists will randomly thank you for making their experience more authentic. I should ask for tips.

My resolution is to wear and suit a tie every day! Of course that’s like saying my resolution is the eat and breathe every day but I’m still resolved! #Newyork #newyorkfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit #bigguys

“How do you hide a belly in a suit?” “You don’t hide it, you dress it correctly. Pants up, use braces/suspenders, have a long enough vest/waistcoat and never run them see the little bit of shirt or tie at the lower angle of the vest and you’ll be fine!” #Newyork #newyorkfashion

When it’s time to pull out the snow suits… which are just your regular suits… worn in the snow #Newyork #newyorkfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit #bigguys

Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 Another exhausting all nighter and the heater broke again on the damn sleigh! Heading to bed! #Newyork #newyorkfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit #bigguys

When you’re dressed like you had to break the knee caps of three Reindeer for “failure to provide flying services” #newyork #newyorkfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit #bigguys

“A few more months in this town won’t be dressed like that anymore. No one does here” ”You know, I’m not a betting man, but I’m gonna take the wager on this one” #Newyork #newyorkfashion #suits #suitandtie #menswear #necktie #mensstyle #plussizemalemodel

When you can’t figure out why everyone is staring. What? Do I have something in my teeth? #Newyork #newyorkfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit #bigguys

Nothing scarier than a surprise Santa inspection for Christmas Tree Quality Assurance! #Newyork #newyorkfashion #christmas #santa

“Are you re-enacting something?” ”Um I think it’s pretty obvious I’m re-enacting the Ride Of The Civil Tea Party War Of The O.K. Corral” #Newyork #newyorkfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit #bigguys

Perched on the upper floors, the Phantom of the Train Station silently judges you for not wearing a tie with your suit… and don’t even get him started if you’re wearing sneakers… #Newyork #newyorkfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit #bigguys

When you go out in a simple three-piece pinstripe suit, and suddenly the vest turns red… and so it begins… #santa #newyork #newyorkfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit #bigguys

“Put the money and energy into a dietitian/personal trainer. You will be happier, live longer, and people will like you more” ”I hardly think going after Santa’s core competencies is good advice” #Newyork #newyorkfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit #bigguys

Alert: A Flasher has been reported roaming NYC exposing not one but TWO jacket linings AT THE SAME TIME. Help us catch this twisted individual before he starts taking his jacket off in public! #Newyork #newyorkfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit #bigguys

“You remind me of a cartoon character but I’m not sure which one!” ”Oh come now, every cartoon show has a mildly pleasant chubby man who’s always in a suit. Sir Topham Hatt? Sam the Snowman? Monopoly man? Kingpin? Take your pick!!” #Newyork #newyorkfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit

“Why such a wide tie knot?” ”Um, because your tie should reflect what you are” #Newyork #newyorkfashion

Old man overheard grumbling that the trains never ran this late in the last 20’s. #Newyork #newyorkfashion

6 year old: “Excuse me, are… are you Santa?” Me: “Shhh. You want to stay on the nice list keep it on the down low, I’m in disguise here”. #Newyork #newyorkfashion #santa #christmasinnewyork

Nothing worse than when the reindeer go on a bender and your left taking the train to town… #newyork #newyorkfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit #bigguys

When the kids go to watch the parade balloons be inflated but only find an overdressed roundish guy who could barely float in a pool… #newyork #newyorkfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit #bigguys

Chancing out NYC pre-holidays. Oh my… I’m gonna need a bigger naughty book #Newyork #newyorkfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit #bigguys

When you over striped and bent the spacetime continuum again. Apologies to anyone who got off the train on a different timeline. Mea Culpa. #newyork #newyorkfashion

After living in multiple cities now, I’ve decided all architects in the 60s and 70s must have been stoned out of their minds as their cement behemoths clash with my outfits (and sensibilities). #Newyork #newyorkfashion

Every Who down in Who-ville, the tall and the small, Was outside! Without any suits at all! He HADN'T stopped Casual Friday from coming! IT CAME! Somehow or other, it came just the same! #Newyork #newyorkfashion #suitup #sartorial #dapper #bespoke #suit #bigguys
