I think he's a total fox. He looks kind and interesting and fun. It's not really about fashion, it's about a personal style developed over the years that is shown to perfection in this shot. Well done Scott. We don't need to see his shoes at all to get this.
He's a well-dressed, good-looking man, but the turtleneck is a little too high and tight. I know that older people often have double chins and other things on their necks that they wish to conceal, but there is a limit to how high a turtleneck can go.
What a gorgeous gentleman, the shot conveys the feel of a beautiful persona. It is not about how high the necks should go: it's clear to me that Scott is after beauty, which goes beyond rules.
I'm Italian, currently living abroad, and all I can say it that I miss the elegance and the savoir-faire of Italian men. The Sartorialist is always here to remember me what I left behind.
I agree with meme, he looks like Pino Solanas. Actually, it was my first though when I saw the picture "What is a left wing pseudo intellectual controversial politician and former film director doing in a fashion blog?" Well, apparently he's having a lot of fun and many fans (!). Who would have thought…
