George Glasgow Jr. of George Cleverley & Co. Ltd in midtown after our shoe fitting.
I still haven’t been able to find the perfect (at least, for me!) pair of cordovan shoes, so George and I are working together to create them ourselves.

Nice suit. Given the drapiness involved, I'm willing to bet that's from Andersons on Savile Row.

I like this overall look. I'm not so sure what's all that remarkable about it though. Yes, peaked lapels and all and I'm sure it's a very expensive bespoke suit and those shoes look exquisite. I supposed what really turns me off is that he's looking at his cell phone. I know we live in modern times and all but I'd still like to see the face of whoever is being photographed here. Your photography skills are sorely wasted on folks who won't even look into the camera or at least look at something interesting.

I found my perfect pair of cordovans about twenty-five years ago and had them converted to golf shoes ten years later. Good luck. The tone has to be just-right.

Not a fan of the trousers, I don't know why. I've never been to a tailor so I'm not sure: Can they make slimmer fit legs for you?

LOOK AT HIM LOOKING SHARP! The pinstripes are the way to go; what a way to a women's heart. The suitcases compliment his whole appearance and say "i'm classy, but in serious business."

it's something old fashioned about the fit of the suit. The fit of the jacket makes him look really muscular. And the pants are like grand dad pants – lots of fabric. I like it.

Flannel + peak lapels + hacking pockets = confusing.

Classic color scheme – I love the black tie with grey suit appeal. However, the suit seems a bit baggy for a gentleman of his age/stature, and the tie is far too narrow for a lapel of that width. Wonderful shot, nonetheless!

I agree with above. A ties width should match the lapel width, and this certainly does not. It looks unbalanced.

If you haven't found the perfect pair of cordovan shoes, then maybe cordovan is just not for you. This is how I feel. I cannot stand the stuff.

I like this as a photograph, the Yellow Cabs in the background, his pose, and most of all, those stylish suitcases.
However, as a "fashion" photograph, I'm not as impressed. I'm sure his suit and shoes cost more than I earn in 2 months, but there is nothing particularly noteworthy about them. I like pinstriped suits, but I've seen better, and better fitting on this very site.
I'm also not a fan of pictures of people staring into cell phones. I'll be the lone, torch carrying Villager who'll write that I prefer to see someone holding a cigarette.

I thought I was looking at a photo of Cary Grant for a moment. He is a classicly dressed fellow and I would say the best dressed male you've photographed thus far.
Now, about this Quixotic search for the "perfect " cordovan shoe. What's that about?

I have to say, I'm a big fan of the Cleverleys having recently bought a pair of the Churchills in oxblood with the fake laces. They fit like nothing I've ever worn before. Tight but incredibly comfortable. The look of their shoes is now unmistakable.

Sara, the suitcases are made by Rimowa (a German company). They are sleek, super light yet sturdy. I've considered buying one myself!

Not sure about those Churchills – the faux lacing looks too faux!Paying north of 1k pounds for a pair of shoes I at least want it to look authentic (:
like the pins and the red on navy tie tho very much

If you're going cordovan think about sticking to bluchers without a captoe. cordovan beef-roll creases don't work on bals IMO and a plainer vamp allows the creasing to become a highlight rather than clash with the stitching

I absolutely love these vintage (20's?) style suits.
The looser trousers and general cut of the suit give the impression he has much more relaxed nature than if he was wearing a slim fit 'modern' cut suit.
The background and suitcases are also perfection.

Anyone who knows anything about classical tailoring will immediately see that he’s wearing an immaculately fitted suit. Unfortunately it looks wrong to those who’ve been brainwashed by fashion photography. But just think of it, this man can sit down and stretch his legs without feeling tight wool binding up against his thigh. Just think of it.
