Finally moved to the Gold Coast and it has taken a while to settle in. The new living arrangements mean I don’t sit on my computer as much any more. It might be why it’s been quiet around here. Or perhaps I’m just lazy.

Don’t forget that this tumblr thrives on submissions from death fat men like you*. So get your submission jive on and share with the world all the dapper (or whatever) fatshion that you’ve found.

* Or someone you know if you aren’t a death fat man.

Me at the Brisbane Slut Walk back in May.

Oh boy oh boy.  I’m so excited, guys.

So for my birthday last year, my fantastic boyfriend organized for all my friends to chip in some cash to get me a gorgeous, high quality bespoke suit from Germanicos tailors.  I also got a bespoke shirt from them as well.

Anyway, after some dramas, it’s finally done and in my chubby little hands.  I CAN’T TELL YOU HOW AWESOME IT IS TO HAVE SLEEVES THAT AREN’T TOO LONG FOR MY WEIRDLY SHORT ARMS.

So here it is, a (sadly webcam quality) picture from the second ever time I wore this suit.  This time I also combined it with my leather vest from Moto Leathers because my identity as a Leather man is super important to me, and I wanted to feel not just the best I could with my new suit, but the best and most like myself as I could.  And frankly I think it works pretty well - it’s a little twist on a classic look, and I think it suits me well.

erinkyan asked: Are trans men welcome to submit stuff?

Definitely! I think that would be awesome.

I think my belly is pretty fucking amazing!

I find getting dressed up for business meetings and the like very uncomfortable. I have a short, fat neck so when I have to do up the top button and wear a tie I feel like I’m going to choke.This is especially the case with any shirt I get off the rack since they never have enough neck room for me. Heck, they don’t usually have enough body room for me.

I got this shirt from Bespokeable as part of their beta. I was pretty chuffed to have been invited to be involved. Bespokeable help connect tailors with those who want a good quality shirt. You put up a request of what sort of shirt you are after (style, casual/business, etc) and some details about yourself including a photo of your face. Their tailors then review this and propose what sort of shirt would suit you. They even make colour and pattern suggestions based on your eye colour or skin tone.

I have to say that this is the best shirt I’ve ever had, because it is the first one that truly fits me. Matched with a set of awesome cuff-links and it just says “this man is about business. Fancy business”. I can do up the top button and wear a tie and look and FEEL fancy.

And at the end of the day, if you don’t FEEL the fance, you can’t work the fance.

ronithebear asked: Heyo, I found a photo by one of my favorite photographers (He runs the blog called The Sartorialist) of his barber, and I thought to submit it because dapper, no-nonsense fat dudes are the win, but the requirements kind of stopped me. Would it be alright to submit the photo, or are you looking strictly for personal submissions?

It’s a tough question because I want to see “dapper, no-nonsense fat dudes” celebrated, but at the same time it’s important to remember that not all people like to be identified as fat, or death fat.

There is also the issue of ownership. If you took the pic submitted it then I would have no issue with that. You own the photo and you can do with it as you please.

If it is something on tumblr, perhaps submit a link to it and I can reblog it if it is appropriate. Or contact The Sartorialist and see if he would allow you to submit it - he might love that.

I did set up the submissions thing in a bit of a rush so I’ll change it up a bit and try and make it a bit more clearer. :)
