The Sartorialist

Is he a mechanic or a model?? I would love to think he's just the most stylish mechanic in NYC (except for the cigarette!), but he looks a little too put together.

Most beautiful overall I've ever seen. Probably because I've never seen anyone wearing a fáshionable overall with an actually intention to wear it while working and getting dirty. Awesome.

I always imagine mechanics to be greasy and dirty, so this young man seems too clean to be true.

get a little dirt on your hands

That setting sure helps blur the line between real work wear and fashion.

Such a graphic dramatic pocket look.
Love it!

Excellent.

Well he's certainly not your average car mechanic!

This is awesome. To me it's all in the glasses and the cigarette.

This is just cool. Is he a mechanic there? Coolest looking/dressed mechanic I've seen.

Neat!

But based in the shoes, I'm guessing he's not a real mechanic.

Real mechanics deal with grease.

Wow, he's cool.

It's all in the attitude. I think he is more elegant than Anna. It's proof that it's not fancy or expensive clothes that make a style. It's the caracter, the way things are worn, the attitude. Perfect.

Cool. He looks just plain cool. Posture, glasses, everything. Love it.

Not gonna lie- this guy looks pretty badass! I think its the combination of the glasses and the outfit plus the way a person carries themselves always can make them look awesome too.

He really works it at work!

Like the janitor girl with the dreadlocks – you can individualize any uniform and stand out at work. Pretty slick & stylized for coveralls with the zippers, and slim fit. Nicely rolled up sleeves, nerd chic glasses, and lightweight runners eliminate the grubby mechanic look and make him into a moto-tech.

Great and unique photo. It has a very 1960's Pan-Paris vibe.

I think this may only look good in black and white

never the less, its something to draw inspiration from ^_^

Who would have thought these uniforms could look so chic?

This is a stunning, stunning photo. The tension between the horizontal lines of the zipper and the vertical. And I love the expression on his face.

Oh man, he's gorgeous.

no way. the best I have ever seen.

naturally stylish! I suspect the black & white has made the overall look very new & clean. As my impression of mechanics' overalls are usu torn and dirty with gease stains.

a fashion suit: unlike other work work suit give him personality instead of making him anonymous

matter of style: eye on fashion

That ain't no grease monkey!

Wouldn't have been surprised to see an ultra modern aircraft in the back… I just had this sci-fi movie flash by the looks of him. Über cool.
- I'm SURE the suede trainers match the overall colour -

great pictues, love the blog :)

So neat!! Love~

YES! Oh my gosh, his posture. He's hot and knows it I feel.. but not in a bragging way.

Quel bel homme!

amazing photo, different from others..

Great B & W portrait Scott, absolutely beautiful.

judging by the lack of grease on his jumpsuit, the choice of jewelry and the whiteness of the soles of his tom's, he is NOT the mechanic.
cute jumpsuit though.

One of the best pictures yet!

Interesting mechanic.

Very working New York City street look.

;)

Surreal and splendid!

Much love,

with a face & bone structure like that, he could get away with wearing a potato sack and he'd still look good.

i love this!

The real peach of this piece is the fact that it's Black and White – I mean dull green overalls.

Oh and clearly our man is a model – this is no fag break – I've seen him on the catwalks.

Nice piece – a nice change for you.
Thanks

I would never, looks good on him though.

Why in the world does anyone think this man works on cars???? He is obviously there getting his fabulous car worked ON! No mechanic dresses like this.

Nothing to do with this photo, but why no stylish older women? The occasional older man, but no women. Just curious.
And by the way, I miss Gourmet too.

You have captured an amazing shot
and on the top of that you did in black & white
LOx

Very good!

Wow!

Great photo!

One word: YES.

this would be cooler if he were a real mechanic but the lack of grease or dirt anywhere makes me think more posed, but still a really cool shot.

Reminds me that I used to go to Texaco just because of fit of the Texaco uniform pants fit.

One of the best photos in a long time.

He's officially the world's coolest mechanic. He could look under my bonnet any day.

wow x googolplex times

wow

where's he from?

wondering the same thing as Anon. at 6:23 PM – is that misko??

Interesting photo of a mechanic. I see nothing especially stylish in the overalls – I happen to have seen my mechanic in more interesting Alfa Romeo branded overalls (in Woodbridge ON), since he works and loves this marque. Nd I happen to own some as well, which I use for motorcycling on windy days. However, what is much more interesting is how the lemmings start outpouring poetic expressions of style and taste and personal 'je ne sais quoi', which at first are a little quaint, only to become annyoing. I've noticed this in many threads. Some pictures depict absolute beauty, like the lady in the hat, and a few others; but other pictures seem to me like Scott is having fun with us, just to see how accurate his predicted count of lemmings' comments was. So, this picture ultimately, is a good psychological device.

the photography is what makes it amazing…

nice work scott

i think the cigarette is no problem. no i'm not a cigarette-addict, but somehow, a cigarette makes a picture looking more cool… don't know, just better.

Looks like a flight suit to me.

Trés chic! This is great propaganda for the field of mechanical workers, isn't it!

The other mechanics must hate that guy.. he's so grease-free he must never do any work!

Dear Anonymouses: Yes, yes that is Misko. Yaay Misko!

My first adolescent crush wore a blue overall. He was a mechanic, that also trained as a boxer. He smoked parliament and drove a Camaro. They just don't make men like that anymore…

I’m I the only person getting a very 80′s Devo vibe from this photo? I rather like it!
