this is not how students usually look at yale – he looks more like a typical hipster kid from london ! great shot

i wonder what his shirt says

I would want him to be my best friend from college. Great style!

Looks like he’s reading GQ far too much.

it IS actually how a lot of us dress at yale.

i can’t believe the sartorialist was on campus and i didn’t even know!

I thought you were doing a Yale and Princeton theme? I can see this on any street corner. Not that inspiring and those shoes are awful.

I like his coat. Great face!

OMG!!! I knew you’d capture Madison!! AHHHHHHH…why wasn’t I at Yale? This guy is definitely not a one time dresser! He keeps it very sharp, day-in day-out!!

this guy looks fierce. love it.

I think it’s great that you’re finally going to some college campuses. Although many do not have such a Sartorial focus, a lot of schools are rife with fashion mavens and experimenters. I recommend Vassar for another collegiate romp with serious style.

nice pea coat for sure, but i don’t like the shoes with that outfit.

Yeah, the T-shirt is one of Henry Holland’s (House of Holland) “Cause me pain Hedi Slimane”… It’s a London thing

Perfect. Thanks. This is what it means to dress well, to look hip, but not be over the top.

I KNOW HIM! Well, I know OF him–I used to see him walking around the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor…Man, talk about a small world.

And yes, he dressed like this pretty mucb everyday.

Some fellow posters are right…not an unusual look here in good ole europe ;) The gentleman looks british!

Patent shoes are something you don´t see often, tho!

I want to take class with him! So hot, from head to toe.

Overall I think the proportions are great- I would be interested in knowing who made the peacoat, there appear to be a couple of small labels. Previous comments have already commented that the diagonal pockets are unusual, although they can be found in german/italian army-issued garments. I like the patent leather of the shoes and I think it is a great contrast with the gritty black fitted jeans. I disagree with dress shoes constructed with a Chelsea boot-like elastic. I think it cheapens the look and line of the shoe, and I would rather go with something more classic like a loafer or simple laces, but that’s just me. Jorge from West Palm Beach

london calling – but not special, see that look everyday

@ Theo: He’s American. Isn’t that so ‘nice’?

And yeah – a lot of Yale guys dress like that, especially the ones in the theater/hipster crowd (I only know him because he was a TA in a performance theory class); although this guy in particular really takes his clothing to the next level on a daily basis. *applause

No guy at my school looked this good. Of course i went to Junior College…

Individually the pieces are …O-kay… but it’s all in the mix, the hair, face, the pose, I like it! This blog will be a really useful document for fashion historians in years to come. (Hell, it is already!)

LOVE*

i think men look wonderful in pea coats. It’s a sturdy, functional, immortal and simply stylish piece of clothing and makes even an older man look slightly boyish.

High style on a low student budget, I love it!

I always thought my school in Albany, New York, was the least stylish University on the planet.

This suggests that I was right all along.

why don’t you ever come to Columbia. student style right in the city…far better than yale

hot look, hotter guy!

Minus the “faux-hawk” I’d say this look is perfect

he can’t be american–that’s just too good. love everything. he’s hot :)

Great hair – love the height in the middle

so excited that you came to yale! i saw you taking a picture of someone in front of the art gallery – i kept staring rudely because i thought i was hallucinating. if there really was a master’s tea i’m disappointed i didn’t hear about it!

i think the coat is g-star raw, don’t hate me if i’m wrong tho….

LOVE HIS HAIR!!!

The Satorialist should come to The AU Center. Between Morehouse, Spelman and Clark Atlanta, there is a great deal of style about.

you should visit pratt institute in brooklyn, ny to get an art school’s perspective. plus, it’s my alma matter!! please come to pratt!!!

I just wish guys had a little more style in Memphis.

He is hot, simple and chic.

Trés trés beau.

Judging from the small label with yellow letters right above his left pocket, the pea coat could be G-Star Raw. They have something going on with pocket cut on the angle as well.

He’s got the London look!!

sure, the outfit is chic but simple…BUT find some people who wear like this!
i also think he doesnt need any further accessoir, his face/hair is the best accessoir he could choose.

He looks SO London! And as someone born in that city, I can only say, Well played, well played indeed. I like.

love that House of Holland t-shirt.lol

I always see this guy around campus, always making heads turn! is he british then? is he famous? both? we need more guys like this in new haven!!

you can never go wrong with a G-STAR COAT!!!

overall he’s very aesthetically pleasing. I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s very london though, perhaps the jeans and peacoat, but the Henry Holland T-shirt thing is very much over and done with here.
He strikes a good pose.

Flawless!!! And no, you can’t see this on every corner. The cut of his clothes and the overall proportions are very telling of his sartorial intention.

This grunge meets chic look is superb Scott!

I don’t understand why everyone says this guy is so London! I attended McGill University in Montreal for undergrad and now I’m at UofT in Toronto for graduate school and I see guys dressed just as sharp as this all the time. Whether I’m at the library, in class, or doing experiments in the lab, I always see students that try to dress creatively and liven things up, which is interesting as I’m a science student and most people think only artsy students care to dress well.

But great shot as always, the brick colour in the back reminds me of autumn and it helps that this guy is beautiful. Glad to see you on a college campus. COME TO CANADA!

Very hip. And I think that’s a House of Holland t-shirt peeking out from under his jacket!

two words – affirmative action

for anon 12:30pm

the fact that this is not London is what is different about it

Hey! somebody needs to tell off Anonymous 8:08PM

I can’t tell if it’s supremely ironic comment or a racist comment.

Any way. How can anybody get ahead in life with this kind of stereotype hanging over people’s heads?

i absolutely need that bag.

Nothing British about this guys fashion statement. He is wearing an American Navy Pea Coat, jeans,etc. I like his look.

MADISON!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha…..uhh yur famous now….can I borrow $20 BUCKS and borrow some clothes?????? sending this url now…lol
