I dont believe I had ever seen jacket pockets like his, perhaps this is a hunting jacket? If anyone can enlighten me, I will appreciate it. He reminds me of the guy that does the vintage research for RL, who has been on your page before? I like the play with the textures of the corduroy vs. the red scarf. Jorge from WPB

cool chap:) @jorge: the jacket style is called maremmana, it origins from tuscany/italy. Capalbio makes these for example…

what a great picture. this man probably doesn’t even consider himself to be a stylish person… i’m sure in the morning he just throws on whatever he feels like wearing. that’s what makes it so perfect tho… being stylish and not even realizing it

This man looks like some old pictures of old artists. One commenter wrote “Monet?” I think more like Pissarro.

He has so much character. And a great jacket. Actually, is it a jacket or coat? Not so keen on the combats, but you can’t have everything

I sport a corduroy jacket on a regular basis that is this same color, but the cut of the pockets isn’t nearly as cool or as utilitarian. I’m very interested in these maremmana jackets now.

Very Ernest Hemingway! Great nonchalant pose and well worn in jacket. The cigar makes it.

His name is Wanni di Fillipo – he runs the Florentine leather goods company il Bisonte. He is a champion alright, don’t you worry yourselves about that. He was in Paris for the Miepel I’ll bet.

Great photo and choice of subject! Nice you included the “de” in rue de Rivoli, as you seldom do, Scott. I’m surprised Garance doesn’t comment on it. The location isn’t a “rue” at all, though, but a bridge over the Seine, perhaps Pont des Arts?
