Obviously, this is a very well-dressed man, colors and textures and all that, but to me, the cuts that tend to stand out are Matt's, vox's, Doc's, even yours. Perhaps I like a bit more muscular look with a strong chest and waist suppression. I'm looking at il vecchio's, and clearly I am missing something that is flooring everyone else. I came to SF to learn... so here I am, humbly asking a question.


Oh, so you like muscular men?

This was one of the first shots I saw when I first came to SF, and it's my favourite by far, though your DB shot is a close second.

Loosen up, man!

Yes! I'd missed that one myself when I was scanning through the year's pics, but this one from LK is a definite pick. Love that coat.

One of my favorite posts- Socal is wearing his Raf Flintstone outfit

The only guy who I noticed that took note was a fellow in front of the Whitney who was dressed pretty dapper. I could say an RLPL or toned down Etro look. Want to say there was either purple or green and gingham in the outfit.

That was me. Purple gingham shirt, green cardigan, brown cord jacket, cuffed denim and scotch grain brogues.

My first WAYWRN. Via your eyes.

There is something very postmodern about this.

Is it love or fear?

If he's not already the lord of London's criminal underworld he certainly could play the same in the next Guy Ritchie movie where he would simply known as The Italian.

The colour of his pocket square? The colour of your blood, mate.

+1000. Everything looks great and it's all stuff that has been posted and hashed to death previously. Luca looks pretty good too.

Luca's coat has the correct number of buttons.

I made somewhat the same point earlier, but where I disagree with you is in the premise that there is attire that is better proportioned.

The stuff from Russell made up for S. is in the top rank stylistically, plain and simple. But, that rank includes many different approaches...it is not a pyramid leading to a single best. It is, I feel, more like breaking through a barrier beyond which there are many delights...and one of them is how IV is dressed.

In this case, I admire client, tailor, and the basic aesthetic on which both agreed.

You can't handle single button. Your body is not made for it.

Foof and I, on the other hand, can party it up.

I think you must have worded this imprecisely. If you truly believe the above, then you could not object to this:
