The Sartorialist

Molto chic, molto italiano!

Fantastic. Beautiful fit, fabulous shoes all worn with such confidence and panache. I really like the spread collar with the blazer. You can see that the feels good in his clothes. The way to do it.

That ultra-wide tie. That exact brown with that exact blue…there’s a quiet whimsy to it all…

Awesome! His style is really classy… I love his blue suit, and also the brown tie!

Hello from Canada. Love your work. I find it curious that most of your subjects are in solid fabrics rather than prints and patterns. Is that your taste being revealed or the ‘fashion society’ in general?

I wish I could see more of his shoes ♥

Handsome man with a commanding presence.
I like the fit of the DB jacket, the shirt collar, the tie.
But I’m having a really hard time accepting the short, narrow-legged trouser. Combined with the length and weight of the jacket, the trousers look wrong, and give him the appearance of having legs that appear considerably shorter than they likely are.

bravo! es exquisito!

He looks like an illustration from one of my old Italian language textbooks.

Yes! Nice looking man. We dont have them in Stockholm…yet.

The outfit is great, but what is also remarkable is the excellent hair. Remarkably good styling.

che bello,classy and distinct without overdoing it. A timeless look. Bravo

I am in love with this coat!

Sharp as an Xacto. Love it.

I think the issue here is that the fit is superb, but the colour slightly off. I don’t think you can wear dark shades of colour on both your jacket and trousers when wearing separates. One should be light and one should be dark, or there should be sufficient textual difference to make colour irrelevant. e.g. a dark tweed jacket with dark grey trousers.

The spread collar is not getting enough credit in this picture. Just imagine for a second how lame his db jacket would look with a plain vanilla straight collar.

A nation of gigolos!

like this look, tie a bit too wide, but a great business look

only in milan!

i’m in love … again ; )

beautiful image!

Please your danish men take a look at that, and learn a bit, just a bit… Wouw…

Ps i have the shoes :-)

Contential chic ala Italiana.the spread collar one would eaisaly say that the |DB jacket shows all the hallmarks of old Carracini very slight roping in the shoulders enough cuff, slim linte pants just the right length to show off the Lobb Williams,and caught in motion.Wonderful work the photographic composition is what you see first then the style interesting looking at the photo in black and white the entire ensamble stands out.

Beautissimo! Mi amo il rivestimento ;)

love your pics!
ciaoo! xxx

Perfectly man ! ;-)

superb shoes.

wow, his shoes are wonderful!

Wow …yet another snazzy looking gentleman, we’re spoiled sart lol i’ve seen a similar pair of shoes at barneys Ny which were by lidfort or ferragamo I don’t recall which exactly, they are amazing shoes indeed. A bit unconventional due to the double buckle..thats why they “pop” I think.. I love again how flawless his attire is, perfect fit, sleeves, the plain bottoms slacks, pockets sq ect..utterly italian yes. I’ve been reluctant to get a double-breasted navy sportjacket…maybe not so much anymore :-)

I love the seemingly unbuttoned shirt cuffs, i do it all the time, unfortunatly my shirts are tailored as perfect as gianpaolos and therefore end up looking a little sloppy…o well, fantastic as always

This is Gianpaolo from Al Bazar in Milan. Great sense of style and a wonderful person!

I have talked with my favorite tailor in Vancouver about this work. We agreed that gentlemen must have at least two pairs of double-monk shoes to consolidate the bottom and entire balance. I am going to get a new double navy blazer like this for this summer!!!!

there’s a special air around him. his shoes are amazing. but my first thought was: the man and the silver mercedes in the back perfectly match together! for me they both represent timeless style.

I absolutely adore this outfit. I’ve always been a fan of the classic blue DB blazer – it’s a living legend in its own right and a style essential. Normally I’d hate to see it with anything other than its natural partner – mid-grey flannel trousers – but this fellow knows how to wear it so well that I can suspend my presumption! The shirt collar is perfect too – it add just the right amount of crisp snap to the look and shows that the wearer hasn’t just thrown the outfit together, but considered what to wear with that, down to the last detail. Perfect, perfect, perfect.

Yep,

Very Italian. Jaywalking in the middle of the street just before being run down by a suv… Very elegant, though, I have to admit.

Fita

The collar is more than a spread, it’s a cutaway…that’s what makes it so dramatic. Usually it’s wrong with a blazer, but here it’s right…just because it is.

This picture reminds me of this huge poster I used to have in my bedroom as a teenager :
L’amant le mieux payé de Hollywood, prise dans une affaire de meurs et de meurtres…
It was a French poster of American Gigolo with Richard Gere…he looks as handsome as Richard did back then…(sigh)

I Think I love him

what a great stride he has … the whole scene is just wonderful.

I like the pants and shoes but not the jacket

yummy!

Very italian. Very charming!

Trendy old men!Italian chic!

Beautiful. Love how the tie and shoes are the same brown.

forza stile milano!

Ahhhh!!!!! Italiano.

Sexy.

Perhaps it’s the angle of the photo and maybe a full front rather that 3/4 profile might have been more flattering but I’m not seeing the emperor’s clothes here. The idea of this outfit is nice but the actual thing isn’t working in my eyes and feels a bit cartoonish. I don;t know if it’s perhaps not the best outfit for his build or what. The way this outfit is held together is by this gentleman’s confidence. I like to think of it as the “potato sac effect”. Some people can carry off wearing even a potato sack and make it look good.

Since modern man wears something that is a variation of the very early 20th century’s Sack Suit, this comment is

Very nice… I think it is the tie-blazer-shoe coordination that does it for me.

I’m not such a fan of the exaggerated spread collar though…

Charming,an italiano vero!

what a FANTASTIC shot

Stunner all the way!

I enjoy seeing a man in a fitted jacket that’s not too tight, as younger men often wish theirs to be. Also, “Little Critic of the Big World”, who referred to this gentleman as an “old man”: surely you jest?

PERFETTO!

Mamma e Papa’ always said to me ” BE A GOOD BOY AND NEVER WEAR BLACK AND BLUE TOGETHER”, Be he’s getting away with it with so much nonchalance

May I point out that it’s not a suit as many suggested. It’s a blazer. See the guilded buttons.. The pants are not black as another suggested, but charcoal. The shoes are the famous double buckle ‘John Lobb Paris’..It would have been a perfect combo if the pants were of lighter shade of grey…The whole idea of the blazer is that it’s less formal than a suit so the pants should bring a contrast to the coat. It would be unimaginable of this gentleman to wear black pants! An absolute no no in the circle of the blazer wearing gents.

Simply perfect except metal button!
