It is hard to see what he is doing here. The jacket is a like a Bookster version of the 1940s 'bold look' (The Two Jakes) or alternatively the 1970s (I'm old enough to remember that tie knot). The pants are also very tight cut without a 40s drape which is a more moder style. The boots are sensational. Button boots but not overdone - are they bespoke like the rest of the clothing or vintage?
I'm pretty certain that that's a PRL wide-lapelled "Garrison" suit. I have a PRL suit in an almost identical windowpane flannel fabric from the 80s.
The cut of the jacket is superb. Love 'em or hate 'em, it is 99% inevitable that RL and Tom Ford are the thin edge of the wedge with their more decadent lapel width. I don't generally favor such narrow, flat front trousers, but this dude's pulling off the look splendidly.
