The Sartorialist

I think I am seeing “plaid and piano,” yes?

I have always prayed that keyboard scarves would permanently die; I see my wishes have not come true. Jorge from West Palm Beach

This man is very handsome and I’m sure he could even be more handsome if instead of that moustache he wore a full beard or no facial hair at all.

To ‘a lady’, I don’t think those are actually jeans… Just lavender coloured pants.

POUNCE

oh pleeease tell me where is the scarf from! *.*

that vivid blue sleeve peeking out really pulls it all together. neat little bracelet too. and where did he find a piano-scarf??

piano scarf. why not! i love the plaid too but i am starting to tire a bit.

If only all men could dress this well… *sigh*

I like the way everything fits here.

He’s sexy.

first of he is of the handsome!
2nd, i dont like the scarf, it takes away from the beautiful muted colours of his outfit.
3rd, i love the colour of his jeans, it compliments the brown tartan.
nice one!
he must be a student or something, saw him at a few shows in london.

hahah! i sort of wish he was holding the pizza box. great photo.

What kind of jacket is that!!!???anyone?

Lovely scarf, and he looks so warm and comfortable too! The small hat works on him somehow. I also think a photo of him holding his pizza box would have been cool too – it might have given it more of a candid feel. Generally great use of muted complimentary colours.

fierce! i think the whole outfit would have looked better if the plaid pattern was small/closer together. the coat looks oversized because of that.

yeah, sweet stache

Completely unassuming and sincere. The piano scarf isn’t too much; it’s just naturally dorky! I love especially how you can see something (a pad of paper?) protruding from his right breast pocket. He is living in his clothes, not the other way around.

It is quite the cliché – an Italian with a pizza. Guess clichés should be born somehow… He looks laid back – i don’t think he thought that much about patterns and so on – much more he loved the pieces.

It is indeed. Pity his clothes are not.

The piano scarf looks like it was designed by Mugatu just after/before the piano key neck tie. Very cool look though. I like the jacket and pants combo and anyone who can support the solo mustache is a friend of mine.

You’re right; photography is that much more fun and meaningful when it’s collaborative. Your pictures are beautiful and they inspire me!

face furniture is back in and this gentlemen carries it off completely. i love this frisco lunberjack mix he has going on – bonkers and wonderful!

You can tell he doesn’t take anything serious. He makes me think of Art Brut. I bet he has the same sense of humor. Also, those don’t look like jeans to me, they look like grey chinos.

I see this as a “Don’t”.

Seems like the standard ‘I want to be in the strokes / libertines’ thing.

that nasty jacket scarf collision annoys me a lot :(

cool face though.

Nothing goes together, and the elements (hat,scarf, jacket) are tacky… but he carries it off. I wonder if your photographic skills are what makes sartorial mediocrity and awkwardness look artful?

To any of you people that disagree with this:
Don’t you ever just wake up and want to wear your favorite shirt with your favorite pants, even though they don’t go? Don’t you ever want to wear something because you like it and it makes you feel good? I know I do…

And if that’s the case, then I’d just like to say- Lucky him! His favorite scarf looks really fresh with his favorite jacket.

H O T. H O T. H O T.
LOVE HIS LOOK. LOVE HIM. WANT HIM.

I’m a musician, and there’s only one rule I know of with any musical instrument related clothing: NO if you’re a musician. Don’t even think about it. And the skinny piano key tie? Come on…

That’s not stripes, that’s a piano keyboard. He’s an artsy Italian lumberjack. As a country-dwelling classical musician, I can totally appreciate his look.

this guy is so cute, i just want to eat him up!to me, his face fits the outfit completely. quriky, a bit odd. one of those people that it takes a while to get to know, but once you know them, you’ll never let them go. know what i mean?

“I invented the piano key neck-tie! I invented it! What have you done, Derek?!” -Mugatu

Love this pic! =)

Mmm
well I’d don’t say his plaid jacket is all that common here in Italy; for sure he doesn’t look completely average here in terms of clothing (but he does in terms of pizza :-) ).

On the other hand, moustaches and hat make him a younger, sexier version of many milanese old guys, so I’d say he mixes unusual (for Italy) and revisited traditional in a good way.

Also love the fact that his scarf doesn’t match the rest of his outfit: he was simply out to buy a pizza!

Ciao!

I’ve got the scarve.

He has Johnny Depp’s facial structure, and the mustache works. As does everything else. :)

Mr. plaid coat, will you marry me?

Ciao <3
