I think it’s enough with the bootleg pants for men now, I’m trying to phase them out of my wardrobe.But the top half is pretty cool, minus the face and the hair.So just the cardi,the tie and the shirt then.Ok.
I love his look! extremely Rock’n Roll, very cool. The black and white seems to be going strong here in London as well and skulls are absolutelly everywhere…
If it weren’t for the stripes on the sweater and the sunglasses, his clothes would look exactly like the winter uniform of the boys’ school across the road from my high school years. And good they looked, too.
Have you noticed that the three main men’s looks these days derive from either Ivy/Prep, Rat Pack or Rocker and this is seem to be a blend of Prep Rocker, which is not easy to pull of. Robert
It’s the hair too! Always makes me wonder if the entire wardrobe fits this colour scheme. Guess it’s pretty passe these days to get highlights/colours to simply accentuate one’s skintone!!!
i can’t decide if i like this look or not. individually all the elements work, but when placed on his tall, slender frame the proportions start to compete. fun belt buckle peeking out, though
I say he looks great, even though he could have done something more interesting than the River Phoenix haircut. As to the skull and bones, is that a belt buckle, on the end of his tie, or on the bottom of the cardi?
By the way Sart, I think your photos are great, I’m impressed by the way you handle your subjects regarding pose, (or lack of) and depth of field and background detail.
I agree that the bootcuts are soo played out on guys. Slim fit or straight leg for me…such a nicer shape and it makes guys improve their posture as well. Like the blond hair though–an improvement on the hipster mess uniform hair.
I’m glad you’re back in NY for the best season for fall, the best season for Fashion. Paris and Milan are boring to see–style is the norm. here, they are jewels in the rough.
The hair is natural, if that is indeed Doc Hammer of Venture Bros fame. Read his wiki (linked above, courtsey of anonymous) if you’re curious to know about the hair color.
Oh it’s definitely Doc Hammer of “The Venture Brothers” fame. There are other pictures of him on the web showcasing his interesting style although I think it works mostly because he’s so slim.
get over it. he is trying way too hard and definitely not pulling off the look. obviously much older than he is trying to look. the dyed hair and outfit is a big stretch for this guy. people should learn to dress according to who they really are. dont try to be something that you aren’t.
i actually don’t like this. maybe he looks too skinny – which isn’t normally a problem – or maybe it’s the crispin glover haircut. i think he should not have gone with a white shirt. it’s a little bit too moddish goth.
Hee! Hilarious comments. This beautiful man is a huge Goth from back in the days when that meant something. So, no, he’s not trying to hard to be something he’s not. This is what grow-up Goths look like. This is our fashion legacy to you, glad you enjoy it. Plus he’s hot, and exceeedingly, disgustingly talented. Yum.
People, people, that is not a hair bleach or dye job. The gentleman in the picture is Doc Hammer, an artist in a number of medias who has a skin condition called vitiligo which causes loss of pigment in the skin. In this case his scalp; thus the white streak in his hair. Research a subject before so cruelly making fun of a person’s style.
Doc Hammer could make a used sweat suit look stylish, he is just that cool. I think I'm in love! I love the cardigan, and I am a sucker for a man in a tie. Attention guys: ties are awesome; please wear them more often!

This guy works this look well, but very men can get away with this. Really, there are only a handful of cities where you can pull this look off.
Not for the faint of heart. But this gentleman works it perfectly.
