I love the idea of a super lightweight terrycloth sport coat in the summer. I don’t know if I would wear it in the city, but throwing it on after getting out of the pool instead or drying off with a towel seems so cool.

You know.. I’m on the fence about terrycloth in the summer. It’s almost like women wearing scarves in the summer.
Fashionable yes, by no means practical.

Look again. He’s wearing shorts. (Maybe your computer screen’s too dark or at the wrong tilt to see it clearly.)

I have an old Versache one of these. It was from my brother so I can’t say how old exactly.
I wear it all the time though.

This is irrefutable proof that there is a world of difference between a beach towel shaped like a sport coat and a sport coat made out of a beach towel. One is loads of fun and the other is just embarrassing. On a positive note, I do like the color.

I don’t smoke, and could never be with a smoker, but sometimes, like with this guy, the right person can look so fucking hot with a cigarette.

The terrycloth jacket looks like a towel with buttons ! However, I love white and blue together and the aviators are sexy.

It takes guts to wear such a bright piece of terrycloth…and a sense of self-irony. But totally agree with Elisa – yellow bikini would look smashing with this.

I love the texture and colour and the way it’s being worn here. It’s a fine example of ingoring the fabric’s original intentions as a cuddly wearable towel, and embracing its other qualities. Cute older bloke!

Too fluffy, too bath robe-y, too unstructured and sloppy. Looks way too hot for summer as well. I really want this to work, but it’s just not. Maybe if it was actually ON instead of just on his shoulders? Maybe it needs long pants, perhaps white?

I could see it working beautifully at the pool. Outside of that context, I think this is better in theory than in practice.

I agree with some of the comments above. It does look a little bit too much bath-roby and sloppy to be stylish…

I agree with you, I wouldn’t wear it in the city, but by the beach or at the pool would be perfect. I actually have something similar to it with a matching pair of terri cloth shorts, which I wear to the beach.

I agree with you, I’m not sure I would wear it in the city but it does seem like a great alternative to the typical poolside coverup over your trunks or as a blazer alternative to a night time pool party. I can’t wait for your special edition collection to arrive, I’ve got mine on pre-order.

What an interesting texture/fabric for a jacket – but TOTALLY LOVE it! And the color is FUN! LOVE New York for this reason! Fun, interesting, eccentric, beautiful people everywhere you look.

This is basically a Snuggie with a collar and buttons. And I bet it would be too warm to wear in the comfortably in the summer.

Nah. Terrycloth is good and cool in the summer. Feels great when its muggy out. Id wear that coat over my bikini if I had it.
Snuggies are made from fleece. See how thats very different?

First let me say, it is really fantastic what you have done with this blog…. That being said, there is a gentleman you have shot a couple times, who always looks very cool. The last time it was the terry cloth sport coat, who is this man? I’m guessing he is in the fashion world in Milan by the fact in the pic which was titled ” The perfect casual shirt” he had a Missoni invite.
If you can answer, great…. If not, keep up the good work…
Gerald
August 11, 2012 at 7:27 pm
sadly i too have to disagree with his look it. its ridiculous. the jacket is ok, sure, whatever, but hes trying to make it work in a formal sense and its just silly and a total eye roll. if he wanted something fuzzy and fun, go prada. if he was wearing a swimsuit and on the beach…cool, i guess. he tried.

what a great idea and great usage of a material! men definitely do not have to have a super 150 or so wool suit in order to look complete, a terrycloth makes it as well:) and the bermuda is so old school-love the way he pus themt both together!

this is the guy that was wearing the gorgeous printed shorts and linen shirt about a month ago… he looks great, as usual. I think the jacket is actually some sort of chenille, not terrycloth.
