*edit*:Flat bottom waistcoat aside is the suit really that terrible? Perhaps I can't be objective about this because this picture was my introduction to possibilities of POW check, and (in my mind at least) gave me licence to experment beyond my comfort zone of solids and chalkstripe. While I would never personally wear this suit, the picture is a bit like the AA prints in that it expanded my horizons and gave me ideas. Sad perhaps, but also true.

That is one hell of a nice jacket.

It is funny to see how much better McQueen looks out of a suit than in one.

What’s with people’s fascination with dead people? Aren’t there enough cool living people for you to worship?

He's wearing those chukkas in quite a lot of famous pics. I think the chukka is more his style than the suit

also that young black guy's cardigan is top notch

I'm genuinely surprised no one has called this out yet, but...

Nothing wrong with white socks in this case. They go with his overall outfit.

Things Steve McQueen has taught me:
1.) Start smoking
2.) When out doors always wear sunglasses
3.) Buy some chukkas

-Very sad death-
