I never see any bad comments on this blog. There are a few details of what he's wearing that I do like (the contrast of his leather bound agenda and the pocket square). But the fit of his double breasted jacket is to wide in the middle for my taste (unless its the shadow from the left arm casting unsightly proportions). Im hoping he's posing for the picture because if his normal posture is what's exhibited here, then he'll never look good in a suit jacket with the buckling of fabric behind the lapel. All in all I hope he has on some monk straps that match his agenda in hand. The walking stick makes his outfit costume-y, like he's TRYING to be cool.
He looks great, which absolutely makes for a nice image. But if he doesn't need the cane it seems like such an affectation. Kinda undermines all the stuff that he's doing right, in my opinion.
Say what you like…he looks phenomenal….great scruff…great accessories, I don't even care WHY he is carrying a cane…its sexy…and the color of the suit is perfect.
Your title made me actually laugh out loud. Mainly because the play on words works even better thanks to his posture! Love the bag, bracelet, angle of the sunglasses, lack of tie, tiny bit of pocket square, lapel size. I mean…just beautiful. Not to mention the colour of the suit.
I'm in agreement with Mr Monocle. He does seem to try too hard to be hip. The buttoned top button with no tie is decidedly last week and frankly the rasta bracelet is disconcerting.
I like the leather wrist straps with the suit. I've been doing this and it brings a bit of earthiness and a casual air to a more formal look. (I don't know, however, about the handbag, unless he's from Italy.)
i very often have to use a cane because of chronic gout. i'd love to find a cane that looks so good and can stand up to actual use. i don't mind his buttoned up shirt without a tie. the pocket square kind of makes up for the lack of tie. i hope his shoes match his bag/agenda thingy. that would really make this outfit sing.
Lookin FRESH. I wonder what's up with the cane? It looks awesome as a fashion accessory but judging from his posture it looks like he actually needs it.
To Montague, if you want to see the rest of his outfit, I have it on my blog as well from that day. I thought he looked rather cool and casual but I'll agree on the 90's width on the lapels……
His name is Josh Peskowitz, and he is, your right, from "In the Closet". Great man, with a great style. And my applause to the photographer. Grrrrreat shot Scott.
Great look, in blue navy you go everywhere. This all-buttoned-no-tie style makes him special. I really miss the shoes, though i can imagine it. My poor english prevents me to catch the play on words in the headline. Will someone help me?
He looks well put together for a guy on a cane. His look is not overdone to contradict the fact that he has a limiting physicality (is that a word?) If he was dandy-ish looking the cane wouldn't be believable. Coordinated, minimilistic, tight, self contained…sweeeettt!
This shot reminded me of an awful morning where I was forced to limp around NY for a day after injuring my foot. I had to resort to buying emergency crutches and birkenstocks. Though practical, neither item carried me along my shopping journey down 5th Ave with as much panache as this gentleman!
for those who obviously never heard of handicapped people, have you ever thought about, that he might need that walking stick? That it's no fashion item?
@Marissa…canes for the purpose of an injured limb, sure. But in this instance, and this being solely a style blog, I believe Scott shot this as an acknowledgement of his cane as more of working accessory to his outfit, not as a temporary aid for his bipedal movement. I like the IDEA of his outfit, but the execution (even if his posture a direct result of his injury) still leaves little to be desired by The Monocle.
@JFK Jean…Does this guy have on a special shoe for a hurt foot?
sexy guy! where was he when they filed Sex and the City?!
love that fact that despite limping, it's more important that his inner strength outshines the outer limit. He oozes confidence. That reminds me of the cover shoot lady of "The SARTORIALIST" book.
