I'm not with him on this one.

He's already buying new pants and the tailor showed him the new style.

He used violence to express his opinion on style, not to correct some injustice of sexism or worker exploration or animal abuse

If it's the new style, why is nobody else in the strip (including the tailor) wearing them short?

The tailor is trying to make him look stupid.

I'm starting to think Everett isn't a hero, but more like an extremely short tempered man

Have to disagree; Mr. True is clearly stating what he wants. The tailor responds in a sideways manner, telling him what he actually wants, attempting to control his mind and preferences.

Also, coming from working in a clothing store: if a customer asks for advice, 'how does this look?', that's definitely when you should give fashion advice. If they are making a complaint about the fit, you should just immediately offer something more desirable if it's available, that's the worst time to give any kind of feedback on their appearance.

Don't use violence for a style or sales disagreement Lemmy challenge hard mode

Maybe Everett is of the belief that the customer is always right.
