Does a suit like this actually help you attract women?

Not today. And not if you were white. It was a 40s thing among minorities - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoot_suit

>>88970919
Can confirm this, My grandpa used to wear them back in the day. First big paycheck after ironworking and he bought a zoot suit and a walking cane and strutted around New York City.

I just now realized this is basically the same as how MC Hammer dressed. nothing ever changes

>>88973038
I don't think I'll ever know what it's like to feel like the hottest shit that has ever existed, as your grandfather must have felt that day.

Is it the 40s or are you trying to land a woman with a 1940s fetish?

>>88973220
>1940s fetish
If only....

Are zoot suits completely out of style now?

>>88970328
Woah, where did you find this picture of me?

Well, it helped him to attract a little pussy...

>>88973260
>now
You might have been able to wear one for a brief little window in the 90s, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IqH3uliwJY) but that moment slipped away fast. Other than that, they've been out of style for 70 years.

He truly lived in the age of legends.
A man out in the world with only a 4th grade education, but with a trade you could support a family of six and live all sorts of fine. He bought my Mom and aunts a pet spider monkey at one point when they were kids.

Someone's making a pretty big assumption there.

who the fuck likes tom and jerry anymore

>>88973484
Probably. All I know is I have a college education and a job as a programmer, but I still can barely afford to live alone in the city. And not even a coastal city, a midwest city.

I think its the same reason Catdog was popular for a while, people love seeing someone suffer for being what they are. Roadrunner and Coyote and same situation as well I suppose.

Be honest, it was probably just one of your underfed cousins.

>>88973723
Again, almost half of those are still used today. A portion aren't used, but are understandable. Most of the rest are only relevant to the time period. Only a handful have really been lost to history.

>>88974629
Everything cycles.

>>88970328
Back in the 40's, sure. Back then, there was fabric rationing because of the war. The zoot suit, purposely using more material that was necessary, served the dual purpose of telling the man to go fuck himself and showing off how much disposable income the wearer had. Girls love a bad boy with cash.

>>88973565
well most of the time, there admittedly was the occasional episode where Tom was the one being a dick for no good reason(like the one where Jerry saves him from freezing to death, and then Tom ungratefully tries to kick him out of his home)

>>88973704
Zoot Cat girl, she's got the most personality of any of Tom's love interests from my recollection, and she's still pretty cute

honestly surprised no one's tried to do a fusion chart of Tom's love interests, would have some amazing results if done right

>>88976360
>then Tom ungratefully tries to kick him out of his home
Okay, that's a dick move. Still, his job and entire reason living in the house was to keep vermin out. At most, he should have given Jerry some food and still sent him out graciously. Still doesn't explain nearly every other fucking episode.

>>88970328
Depends on the time period.

>>88976530
>Okay, that's a dick move. Still, his job and entire reason living in the house was to keep vermin out. At most, he should have given Jerry some food and still sent him out graciously
note that in that episode that house was Jerry's, Tom was living on the street

and yeah Tom was most of the time just doing his job, although he did have a tendency to go overboard in trying to get rid of Jerry, so he's not completely blameless here

>>88977486
Okay. Fair enough. He fucked up badly there. Still, he was blameless in a lot of episodes. I'll never get over when he was a French Musketeer and tried to keep Jerry and his fucking cousin away from the royal feast. He failed and was executed for it via guillotine. And fucking Jerry and cousin's line? "C'est La Vie!" Fuck you Jerry. You didn't even want the food. You clearly just wanted to murder Tom while keeping your own hands clean.

>>88977721
worst one in my opinion is the one where Tom becomes rich, Jerry is not only a dick, but a stupid one, he either should have let Tom leave his life freely, or been more smart about mooching off of him

So at most you'll get Hitler loving Mexican women.

The New Jack Swing era (hip hop and R&B having a baby), including Hammer, was derided by some to be wearing "zoot suits". Makes sense, you have the word swing in your genre.

I once had to wear a suit for an afterschool event, and my crush who more or less (justifiably) hated my guts 90% of the time was actually really attracted. Obviously needs to be contextually appropriate, but yes, some people, if not most, will be impressed if you're sharply dressed.
