The Sartorialist

Oh, I love this! Thank you for showing that you can wear wellies in a classy fashion

Modern day Sherlock Holmes!

Sherlock Bowles….

something about this is so amazing. I think I love most that he is every inch unabashedly a character.

Hamish! <3

I LOVE this.

He looks like a 19th century detective, i like it

fantastic

he looks as he's stepped from a novel

This man's outfit is a work of art. I admire every thing in it. Even the book (sketchbook ?) is great. Love it. Love the scarf, the boots, the coat, the shirt, everything.

So cool! Awesome combination of the two greys…

Very practical gentleman. but I like wearing

I looked at the pic before I saw the title, and was sure this gentleman was British…or perhaps a Brit in NYC?

please be serious. these type of boots are made for the countryside. trying way too hard there…

Hello Hamish. Dapper as usual.

I have a pair of Marimekko rain boots in Uniko print. Think I'll put them on tomorrow and wear them with my suit. Damn the torpedos, he's ready for anything! He could very well have shoes on underneath. I was wearing snow cleats on my boots just two weeks ago. One must do, what one must do.

Where can I get a gray wool suit like that??

rainboots are here to stay for gents

Haha "Sherlock Bowles" – That's funny, and so is this picture.

now that is how your wear wellies! love it! xoxo

Fantastic Beau Brummel!

Hamish! How nice is that blue? Such a rich color combination of royal blue and grey…

He must have brought those boots back from his adventure in the american wilderness of not long ago! I love them!

So genteel and dandy, in an aristocratic manner. He creates his own world and moves around in eras (including our own) with ease. A traditionalist who is modern, a true aesthete. What not to admire?

You need quite some confidence to wear this combination. Is he wearing flannel or tweed?

The mobile and his classic garments are at odds. Ditch the mobile, sir, and join your community. Yell through an orange witch's hat, if the emergency arises. If they're not within earshot they can wait. Nothing is that important.

I love the monochromatic platform of the tie/shirt combo…

Can it be Marc Jacobs special item's rain boots??

Richard Brautigan is alive!!!

Great! He's ssso New Yorker!I have wellies in grey ice and use them with my usual working clothes (often jacket and skirt/trousers and often black) with a pair of stilettos in my bag. But in Italy people aren't so used to this. We do have wellies here. Unfortunately a lot (as everything that become a trend, we then want to have it). But we aren't ready to put them on with everything (and this is their function, their use: you put them on when it's rainy or snowy), no, we have to create a perfect look for them, as we all should be ready to leave for a weekend in some x-shire english county…

I think Hamish Bowles looks like a man out of time-but in a good way-seeing him would be akin to encountering Marcel Proust on the subway…

To the person who said rubber wellies are not warm, have they never seen a pair of lined wellies? To those who object to them because of other reasons I think it is a negative response to the class associations of these items of clothing and related resentments. Mr. Bowles is dressed very practically and elegantly, since being well and elegantly dressed also means being dressed suitably to climate and occasion. Wellies are the perfect thing for walking the snow and slush ridden streets of NYC.

stylish but soooo uncomfortable and…cold!
Anyway, to be stylish, no matter what you suffer….

I love the fact that he looks effortless and expensive, but I feel he tends to look like he is wearing the same thing every time he is snapped at a show. Very refreshing.

I got tired of ruining my shoes last winter and decided to wear wellies with my suits. It took a couple of months to find ones that were to my liking but I'm happy with the result!

there's a fine line between classic fashion and costume, a line which seems very blurred to hamish bowles

he's always glam!!!!

Mr Bowles
Absolutely
Flawless!

Can Hamish Bowles ever dress badly? this is far more simple than alot of the things he's shot wearing. Loved the section in Fantastic Man a while ago with him in one of Bunny Rogers's old suits.

And to think my friends laughed when I purchased a pair of aubergine Wellies. I love this:)

You people are out of your mind. Anybody who works at Marc Jacobs knows these boots are the most awful scraps of refuse. I'd rather have wet shoes.
