wow…I thought for sure you were back in Milan with this photo. Glad to know theres some men with classy cool style right in my own backyard! haha. Rachel.
If I recall correctly, you have photographed this person before, haven’t you? Isn’t he the one who works with Ralph Lauren in regards to finding thrift and vintage items?
I really admire his style. He has served as an inspiration ever since the first photo you posted of him wearing the khakis patched up at the knee and the shawl collar cardigan.
The re-incarnation of the Greek shepherd. Look for Girls in the Sun (1968) nominated for Golden Globe (1970-Best Foreign Language). Had the shepherd gotten the girl…
Doug! Huge inspiration! Tweed is it! I’m really feeling the tweed thing for next fall, ever since Pitti and the cool Armenian woman in the beautiful tweed coat.
I had the same thought that Kelly had — isn’t this guy Ralph Lauren’s vintage buyer? You had a fabulous photo of him wearing a watchcap, a thick cardigan, and patched khaki pants. Anyway, he’s my dream man — fortunately for me my hubby looks a lot like him, so I won’t be tempted to stalk him any time time soon…
What a happy figure the man cuts. Again I’m struck by the realization that it’s a person that makes the clothes work and not the other way around. Usually.
I wrote my Parsons statement of intention letter based on the first photo you took of him. There isn't a particular thing that's inspirational about his clothing, it's simply a whole…state of mind, if you will. I find it rather hard to describe the intense feeling he gives me every time i look at the shots you took. Great enlightenment and an infinite 'thank you' for seeing and photographing him.
This guy looks like a gamekeeper ,he could walk down the street in any village in Yorkshire and not get a second look!! love the whole sartorialist blog! Fab

I love his coat – especially those pockets – and how his facial hair balances out the heavy knits.

His name is doug, he works at RRL, one of Ralph’s trusted friend. He’s a very approachable guy, with a distinct style.

Such a tasteful, rustic combo – and all items are right on the money. The jacket is splendid.

I had the same reaction as 2:52 –I immediately thought this was a Northern Italian, particularly given the mix of browns in corduroy and tweed.
He looks great. And his outfit would be greatly diminished without the orange glove.
