jack has already reached his full form as successful bitty’s trophy husband. the most interesting question he gets asked (besides like, workout questions) at fancy events with bitty is ‘who are you wearing?’

so, bc he wants to have an answer, he learns who he’s wearing every time. and then, because it’s good to have varied conversation topics and all of his conversation starters generally fall into the category of ‘bitty’, he starts paying more attention to the clothes. when someone hands a suit to him and rattles off a list of reasons why it’ll be flattering, he listens

and he’s jack zimmermann, and when he listens, he learns. he learns about fashion. he learns about how clothes are made, and cut, and fitted. he learns a metric fuck ton of stuff

cue jack becoming known in bitty’s circles as The Guy Who You Talk To About Clothes. (he is, to a lesser extent, known in nhl circles as the same person, but they also want to talk to him about hockey)

needless to say his mom’s model friends are delighted

and then the next time he commissions a suit, the designer is like ‘yo, you seem to know what you’re talking about, why don’t we collaborate on this so u have more input?’ and jack is like oh hell yes i love having input and an ability to impact what i wear so he agrees

and he l o v e s it

he gets sO INTO IT. he and this designer collaborate on the suit and then he’s like ‘well fuck that was awesome and it’s offseason, want to do that again?’ and the designer is like sure bc jack is famous and wealthy and competent so ofc

accidental fashion designer jack zimmermann

when he retires from hockey everyone at bitty’s events is like ‘u played hockey??? i thought u were a fashion designer’

and then he’s like ‘hm that idea has merit’ and he’s retired but he works harder than god so he needs something to do. so he does a line of black tie menswear. and then business wear. and works his way down to casual and when he gets to athletic clothing he is SO PUMPED

and the thing is that the clothes are popular!! he designs suits for women. after some consultation with various people, he also designs suits that are intended to emphasize a masculine figure, and a feminine one, sells those too, jack is rlly becoming known for two things: classy and well-made suits, and UGLY ASS SHOES (it’s an in-joke, but he always makes sure that with every season he releases a new pair of shoes that are just. fucking hideous. and he WEARS THEM)

alicia wears his suits to every event she goes to. so does bob. shitty is the best-dressed lawyer on the planet. u get the picture

★ Notes on Year 4, Comic 6 - Varsity Captains ★

It’s hard being a college athlete when you also have to worry about GHOSTS. Poor, Ransom.

I love all the varsity captains

good job Bitty, getting support from other people instead of copying the people who captained before you

I respect their apprehension toward Holster

Bitty’s pie powers ARE magical, this is canonical proof

WAIT ONE GODDAMN SECOND, IS ANNIE’S A COMBINATION BOOKSTORE AND CAFÉ?

ALL OF THE COFFEESHOP AUS SHOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE 500% CUTER BECAUSE IT’S ALSO A BOOKSTORE

whose phone case is that with a fish on it?

big idiots

Halfway through the year he had a massive breakdown, went around campus apologising to every woman he was ever a douche to, signed up for all the women’s studies courses he could... and forged a quiet, solid friendship with his weirdly intense roommate, Jack Zimmermann.

Shitty spent many mornings at Faber, realising that the best way to get Jack to listen to him ranting about his life-altering journey away from the lax frat was to talk to him while Jack was practicing his shots.

(Jack, alienated from an equally shitty Hockey bro fraternity who can’t forget who his dad is, came to appreciate his weird friendship with the terrible lax bro he was stuck rooming with)

Shitty wore a fake moustache whenever he infiltrated the Haus to keep Jack company (and of course to codify the bylaws)
