What Is the Worst Thing You Ever Saw a Sartorial Hero Do?

[Gus]



yeah but what about those charcoal trou?

They seem to be balanced out nicely with his dark tie and dark brown hat. But as mentioned above, some of this may have to do with Schumann adjusting the contrast before posting.

Please tell me that Flusser was awoken from a deep sleep and his apartment was on fire.....

I'd wear a humbler before wearing that Flusser outfit.

This is a great thread.
I think I will nominate the striped blazer with black piping. I don't know how to find a pic, but someone can find it, I am sure.
Astaire, like the DoW, represents a rich vein for this sort of thing. He really knew what he was doing, but he changed his style a bit over time and he also experimented, so you are bound to find some clinkers in the otherwise stellar inventory.

you rang?

For me, there are two.
2) Cary Grant wearing a BD shirt with french cuffs.

Please don't spam this thread with pious claims that "I have no sartorial hero."

Are you sure he's wearing a button down here? Looks like it could be a spread collar that got a little scrunched up.

That was the best pic I could find and I agree, it's not clear from that, but if you watch the movie, it's clear.

Fair enough. I just wasn't sure. And in response to the original question, this:

JFK with the bottom suit button fastened. I know, I know - he wore a back brace and needed to cover it up. It still makes the jacket pull in a strange way.

PM, you know, I never connected those two things but now that you say it, I am like, :slap forehead: "Aha!"
