I agree with you. These days, most clothing off the rack is cut to fit most people, and therefore it is a bit too roomy. I have found an easy alternative in buying vintage shirts at thrift stores, from the days when clothes were cut to fit. I do like these examples you have picked- it pays to have one jacket tailored rather than have 5 that are roomy everywhere! Jorge from WPB

Very much agree. Nice spot Scott!

Love the pics. Especially the second one. Everything about that outfit looks great to me. I need to get a pair of shoes like that.

brown gents shoes are always nice. and compliments for the dress.

I'm a fan of the slim sleeve that gently flares at the wrist.

i really like those looks..
especially the first and his shirt

Where would a young man with slender arms and a small frame find such a jacket? A tailor wouldn't slim the arms would they…?

Dear Sartorialist,

These cuffed pants do look great. What do you think of the on 5'6'' mid built men?

Cheers!

like the pics…
the first guy is great in his casual elegance,- maybe i should go to Florence to seek for job.. too many well dressed people you find there….
and the second is great in his choice to coordinate the colours – socks to match the BLAZER, not the shoes nor panths – otherwise it would be really DULL! love his "Julian Lennon" look!

I love how the colors in the outfit of the man in the hat echo the stone wall background.

Thats what I love about European fit. It gives the wearer such ownership

Not a big hat lover, but this man pulls it off right down to the peppered scruffy beard. I love the fact that the jackets cuffs have but one button. I could do without the highwaters, but in showing off his tan legs and the sockless and wonderfully worn shoes I will forgive him.

The second picture I am just drawn to the shoes. The ones the main focused man is wearing but more so the regular jeans with the sockless cordovan penny loafers. The colors look great.

no, no and NO
the man with hat is terrible ¡¡vulgar!!

The first outfit is very good! I love his hat!

I should have said first =(
LOL. Jorge from WPB

No socks with the cool shoes, excellent.

Nice to see the prep sensibility with a bit of panache.
The leather and buck wing tips are cool and the hidden laces are a nice touch of personal style.

I love love love those brown oxfords.

A fitted jacket always looks better. The color combinations and pattern accents are great on both men.

perfect palette of colors and outfit in second pic
belisimo !!
ciao

The Oxfords are great. A classic shoe as it´s best.
Bit the shoes in the first shot are great, too. And the hat. So cool. Both outfits are stylish and well organized from the head till to foot!

The man in the 2nd picture might have skinny wrists, but he's got big fat feet.

He should pull those laces tight.

Anyone know what kind of watch the second man is wearing?

i'm gonna give the whole fancy shoes no socks thing a go this summer….just hope i dont blister in the australian heat!

Totally agree, we need more slim sleeve jackets. Love the suede/leather shoes on the second picture, always a nice texture mixture.

I will guess about watch,is a simple vintage watch,maybe his grandfather watchs,(Cartier?);but i have one doubt about socks,i dont like the first man using this shoes without socks,but i really loveD the feet of third man without socks,who can explain me why?

Hair + glasses on #2 is pretty fantastic. Like the slim watch, as well–unexpected.

I love looking at your photos – and I love it even more when you comment on them yourself!

bit expected, no?

Love the bearded chap in #1, the colours works beautifully together and the pendant necklace gives a fine casual finishing touch.

(Shoes with no socks though? Hope he's carrying some plasters with him…)

I agree with you. I love slim fit.

italian men have some of the world's amazing outfits, particularly their shoes. the top photo is fabulously mediterranean chic.

any experienced tailor can do that… within one size it's not a big deal..

if you are around, i can do it for you!

LOVE these looks! Navy and Tan on a guy … with brown leather … might just be my favorite. Fabulous.

this outfits are great, and I love to convine browns and blues, I have seen similar things, on a pretty cool site called mypalma.blogspot.com to see more fashion stuff.

Though I think the slim fit stuff looks OK, but honestly if you wear these italian styles with slim cut jackets and no vent, it is like wearing a straight jacket.

I want to see the guy next to him. I like his shoes. Please do khaki jacket montage. It seems all on NY men are going the Blue jacket/white pant trend. We need to mix it up.

His long hair with the tailored outfit and glasses makes my heart flutter. What a sexy nerd.

What really caught my eye here was the madras tie he's wearing. Blends in perfectly.

they guys are very chic!

i adore european fashion so much. why can't more urban americans dress just as classy?

I do love the shirt that he is wearing on the first picture. Do anyone know where it's from?

Next life, I´ll be born in Florence!

totally inspired to dress like that right now

Does anyone know what kind of pants the first guy is wearing? Or where I can get a pair very similar?

The first pic is adorable. I want his sense of style and his phone number as well ;)

i am completely and positively in love with the top photo(mostly the man and his ability to dress himself)but yes…j'adore très beaucoup

Not sure If I like the lack of socks. There seems to be a few men with no socks in Florence.

well, what i've noticed was the beautiful hair of the cheenky guy. wish mine was as nice as his… – rei (theanne69@yahoo.com):)

Great pics!
