The Sartorialist

THAT is how you wear an ascot Jeremy Piven!

Wow! A very nice outfit. Im sensing a wibe from an “east coast yachtclub affair”, mainly from the jacket.
I love that red scarf contrast against the blue shirt. It also goes really well with the persons skincolour. Great!

he’s wonderful!

Dashing–but the too-tight jacket, with its brass button array and high closure, on a double breasted model yet, ain’t my cup of tea….

Love it! He reminds me of a young Billie Dee Williams! You one strong malt liquor picker!!!

I think he looks great, most men wouldn’t dream of pulling off this outfit. The guy looks great in his double breasted blazer with gold buttons, black watch tartan trousers(a plus) and the ascot and pocket square- A salute to the superb Mr. Howell Look! I think most men should start experimenting with different styles and looks such as this one and stop saying I couldn’t pull this off or that off. How do you know if you don’t try? Remember fashion is individuality and without individuality there would be no fashion. In my opinion, all men should make a pledge to take a break for a moment of simply wearing the same old boring solid charcoal and solid navy suits and do something different as this discerning gentlemen did.
“The Real Bespoke”

Yes, it does bellow “let’s go a-sailing” but it looks nice, more or less.

Not a fan of the “red piece of business” (now I know it’s supposed to be called an ascot) AND the pocket square.

Un ou l’autre, mais pas les deux ensemble, SVP.

But he’s happy, cute and loving it all. That’s what matters.

mltt

YEAH! Thanks for coming up to Harlem. I just moved here and I, too, see a variety of dapper gents!

Definitely an ascot and pocket silk, though probably not matching.

A very smart ensemble; more men should try ascots.

Love the ascot, french cuff shirt and smooth vibe. Even the ticket pocket on the db jacket is nice…i just dont like the gold buttons. Makes the jacket look a little “cruise ship captain” for my taste

Who knew you would find a black Thurston Howell III in Harlem?

He’s so dapper! I love the contrast of the red and white dots against the blue.

He’s an African-American Slocum.

And I’m wondering where the cigar that should be in his left hand has gone.

He’s quite wonderful – quite, quite wonderful. From the ascot, to the perfectly fitted jacket, to the button details: brilliant ensemble.

Dapper indeed!

That ascot is fresh. Well played.

Very handsome, very stylish! I don’t suppose he is free for cocktails sometime?

i’m alsmot more impressed by the double-breasted jacket than the ascot. it’s difficult to pull off that cut without looking either overly padded or “stuffed-in”, but this seems to fit quite well.

so classic. and i hate to repeat, but dapper is just so appropiate.

Oh, so stylish!

ICE COLD

I used to dress like that! U are linked BTW!

Very classy…not for everyone, but he pulls it off masterfully!

Wow! History in the making. This is the first time you’ve posted a photo of an outfit that I’ve worn recently. Do I get a Sarto merit badge now?

I have something similar – but mine is paisley and at the cleaners right now. In Bridport (Dorset UK!) people mostly wear sacking, radiation suits, blood spatter aprons etc. Why not come and visit our literary festival..

Wonderful look, young man. No more baggy jeans and iced out chains for my Uptown Hustlas. Keep your mind ticking!!!

so posh

He was in DNR magazine

He epitomizes the Harlem old skool dandy. Fly!

He’s behind a very elite mens tailoring shop in Harlem. It’s just not coming to mind at this time.

Does he hail from the Caribbean? I swear, men from the islands really know how to dress. One of the executive directors in my last job was from Trinidad, and he was the best dressed man in the whole company.

I know this fellow, having shopped at his boutique (B. Oyama) in Harlem. He is always a gentleman, remembering your name, and sending you a “thank you” e-mail. One of the best compliments of my life was when I walked into his store after church on a Sunday, and he asked me where I purchased my 3/4 length chesterfield coat. He’s a classy dude, epitomizing not just “old school”, but “Old Harlem”, when 7th Avenue was for the boulevardiers on Sunday. Now I want to play some Bobby Short, and MJQ.

C’mon now,y’all don’t recognize the foremost authority of mens fashion in Harlem,the venerable B. Oyama?always sharp as a brass tack,even when i’ve run into him at odd times…

how perfectly chic.
he looks the sort of guy who would say good morning to you if you passed him on the street.
i like him.

A DBJ shouldn't have third pocket…

Beautiful
