Not I.
Is there any evidence of past button residence?

There is no reason to get personal here. Critique his tie, suit, or whatever, but let's not get personal.slicedbread said:However, I will make one comment...This pose that he strikes for most of his pictures just irks me...Anyone else agree?
kid, you got it. I dunno what it is, but YOU GOT IT.herringbonekid said:

Baron Kurtz said:no cuff opening or placket, eh? can you show a pic of the cuff? i'd like to see it. I can't quite envision what the finishing is like . . .
Maybe your jacket was having the arms shortened like this and they forgot to put the buttons back on?

i don't think they were being taken up, as the sleeves are quite long already. i think it was awaiting buttons, war broke out, and the owner never returned to collect it.
There's a thought best left unsaid, at least by a man. And I, for one, took little notice of his face as I was mesmerized by the ensemble.Jovan said:I'm just going to say what everyone else is thinking: HBK has a beautiful face.
