half collar half step

he didn’t walk with a limp, although it could be understandable to think so. his left leg seems to take a longer stride than his right, just slightly, but noticeably enough. so each cycle of stepping seems strong and then halting, half of him is confident in his ways but deep within he hesitates. his tie is angle striped red and blue, and his white dress shirt collar is too narrow bunching up the tie under is thin neck. he dresses trying to look nice, using what resources he has, clearly not reaching the fashion mark he wishes to portray. his light brown pleather jacket is unzipped, with the left side of the collar upright and rigid while the right side collar flapping to his halting steps.
