On the right, Hamish Bowles wears one of Roger's checked suits, one of a number he acquired at the auction:

Under the rather dreadful title of "Fop Idol", TMagazine has produced a new piece on Roger. There are suit photos

Unrelated to Roger, but I just happened to read through this article. Apparently he has a very large collection of women's clothing that he keeps in storage.

The second photo down on the right hand side of the original post has a very John Steed look. I wonder if Bunny Rogers was at all an inspiration. Some of the elements - the tapered trousers, the lack of cuffs, the boots, the sharply upturned bowler, and the considerable waist suppression - are all present in both.
