As someone who once worked in menswear, this is a state. Cuffs too long. I bet the trousers are trailing on the floor. Also, when you wear a suit jacket you should button it up when you stand (never the bottom button though) and unbutton when you sit. Otherwise, the jacket flaps around and looks schlubby as hell. He looks like one of those scruffy middle aged lecturers who is notorious for shagging students.

Is there an etiquette about having the bottom button undone/fastened relating to married status, or have I imagined that?

He’s missing a trick really. If you’re a chunky guy, a well-fitted suit can easily trim you down. Get measured, Russ, don’t just buy the size you think you are! Suits are like bras.

As a chunky woman, I am jealous as there’s no real female equivalent that magically slims you down.

Ha I have never heard this! Perhaps in the olden days. It’s just an aesthetic thing really to do with the way suits are cut. They just don’t sit right if you do the bottom button up.

Soz Russ, too busy taking on Big Building to come and mingle with you and the other centrists over peanuts and mediocre craft beers.
