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.
did you offer to marry him?
No dowry?
Obvs out of my league.
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.
I would want to exude this energy:
But I know I would exude this energy:
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.
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
The top hat makes it though.
Yeah I like the top hat too, I'm just saying that's the only part that makes it seem "historical"
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.
The upper class did, even before air conditioning. I don't know how they did it.
Probably with the aid of their fainting couch.
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?”
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.

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

While very cool, I have to say I was not expecting the stripteases in all of his videos
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
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?
That is one dapper motherfucker
Plot twist: the marriage offers are all from a single obsessed stalker.
Oh, innumerable offers! Manifold! Multitudinous!
One might even say - a plethora!
