I see nothing that looks wet or like pee (one of the other suggestions).
His zipper is plainly visibe (at least to anyone who has ever sewn clothing)
The wrinkles look like someone who is wearing linen, or some fabric that has not been treated to be wrinkle-free, who sat for a while (pressing the wrinkles in) then stood to speak.

The guy is a jerk, but it is embarassing to see this kind of speculation on DU.

(I know you're dispelling speculation - but this is just so silly.)

I literally provided photographic proof. Are you blind or just trolling? Drunken Irishman Jun 2021 #28

Alerting! I told you I could not see a zipper/fly on my screen and You accuse me of trolling?!! hlthe2b Jun 2021 #30

Yes. A photograph is clearly present in my post. Alert away. Drunken Irishman Jun 2021 #33

Not all screens are the same. Yours is too dark to see even a line in his pants suggestive of a fly hlthe2b Jun 2021 #35

I provided a photograph. You called me ridiculous. Drunken Irishman Jun 2021 #37

Your post speaks for itself. Shame on you. hlthe2b Jun 2021 #39

I don't think he uses a tailor. Seriously. Back in early 2016 or late 2015, GQ did a photoshop... Hekate Jun 2021 #23

He also does his own hair and makeup. Drunken Irishman Jun 2021 #41

I know right? msfiddlestix Jun 2021 #44

Agreed--a tailor would cost money and tell him he's wrong Maeve Jun 2021 #45

This is ridiculous speculation. Ms. Toad Jun 2021 #52
