Deminpenn

38. He's 6'8" or 6'9"

He used to be much heavier than he is now,, iirc well over 300lbs, too. That's why he dresses the way he does. I've seen many big and tall men wear similar outfits in all weather. Comfort over style I suppose.

Jmo, but men should wear a suit and tie to formal occasions like this, but it's really neither here nor there.
