Thriving Barrel Making Economy, Anyone?

Now that i think about it, i haven't bought a barrel in a really long time, thereby contributing to the decline of highly dependent economies in towns like Mill Shoals, once a "thriving barrel making economy" according to Wikipedia, well-spring of infinite truth.

This fine gentleman looks positively radiant in his new black sock/fedora/barrel ensemble. While his color story is arguably drab, the circumference of his top really masks all hints of love handles and/or unsightly rashes. This gentlemen is evidently new to the fashion, as his arms are still flimsy and pathetic, impossible for someone who commits long term to holding up a gigantic wooden barrel around them. ex:

This guy has everything right. Suspenders to hold it up, and custom painted logos reflective of his own personal interests. There is no question this man has worn the barrel for a very, very long time. His own body has assumed the exact shape, so that he is mathematically in tune with his garments, something i haven't been able to say for myself since 1992.
