Why does Jesse Palmer wear his suits so tight?

you might have a good point, but it seems a bit over the top, could just use some skunk scent, and still look normal on TV.

who the hell wears a loose fitting suit?

Yea that is how tailored suits fit. I always wonder why some of the guys have loose suits on that work for ESPN. You have enough money to get a legit suit or two.

I hate it.

There's tailored and then there's deliberately wearing a suit one size too small and that's what Jesse Palmer does.

Look at his cuffs - his shirt hangs a good three inches out of his jacket.

He's stupid and it looks stupid.

If this were the 90's, you would be correct. However, it's not, and you're not. The suit fits exactly how it is supposed to. You are exaggerating about 3" of shirt cuff. With his arms straight down there is about an inch showing which is exactly correct by today's standards. Only old men and hicks who have to borrow a suit from their dad don't show shirt cuff.

Also, the suit is definitely a very slim-fitting suit, but that is what is in style. If you look at the shoulders and know how a suit is supposed to fit, you will see that it is the correct size.

Posted by Volmanac So wearing tight t-shirts is for GDI's, wearing skinny jeans is for gays, but skin tight suits is the trendy, cool thing? It's hard to keep up sometimes.

I have never heard tight t-shirts is for GDI's, that sounds like more of a frat move.

People have different definitions of skinny. Skinny like skater jeans? Yeah I don't see how guys do that. Skinny as in the crotch doesn't hang halfway to the knees an it isn't 2 inches too long in the legs? Different story.

I have seen many guys wear suits way tighter than Jesse Palmer, but in the interest of full disclosure, this I kinda exactly my area of professional expertise.

The sleeves are certainly too short, but look at his torso when he buttons his jacket. The jacket creases forming an exaggerated x shape. With a jacket that tight you'll find it difficult to move comfortably.

The sleeves are most certainly not too short, see my post above.

Also, modern suits are never going to be especially comfortable.
Look at any fashion-forward suit model/advertisement and you will see the same thing.

Yup, too tight ... & just bad ... Also, didn't know he was on "the Bachelor" once bc I don't watch that shite, but how embarrassing. Not cool.

---

I agree with your bachelor point, but again, see my posts above. That pic makes the pulling at the top button more dramatic because he is an athlete and has a disproportionate chest to midsection ratio, and when he has his hands in his pockets, it makes the jacket pull much tighter on that button.

That is how a modern, fashion-forward suit jacket fits.
