I'm one of the moderators of MFA, and I'm going to jump on this to ask a question. One of the recurring complaints on MFA is that the community only caters to thin, athletic body types, but in a lot of ways, I think this is a self-perpetuating cycle. Very few mainstream companies cater to big guys, which makes it easy for them to feel unwelcome. I know you've worked with the folks at The Biggest Loser for the last few years, and I was wondering what general advice you'd give to heavier guys who are interested in dressing well.

On the show, I notice you putting a lot of guys in structured jackets, which makes sense for someone who needs a business casual wardrobe, but what about casual clothes? Or for a college student, where a jacket would be inappropriate?

Thanks for doing the AMA and for your perspective on this!

Thanks, Tim - it echoes the advice we give on MFA, especially the point about not hiding behind baggy clothes. It's true for underweight guys too.

An important follow-up question - will you post in our special "crotch-shot edition" What Are You Wearing Today thread?

Awesome.
