Recent non-Sartorialist Looks

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.

Wonderful style statement and all works together well. The large tie knot echoes the lapels; the very slim fit is congruent with the short jacket length and likely negative break trousers; those short trousers also display the button boots nicely; the colours are classic together; even the beard and glasses work well with it. A very nicely engineered look; excellent.

Would hate to wear it myself.

Well observed, and I especially love that you'd never wear it. SF could use a bit less personal identification with everything one way or the other.

Jacket could be longer, and I'd prefer ever-so-slightly narrower lapels, but otherwise, the suit is dope. Shoes are dope, too. If I saw that dude on the street, I'd probably think his getup was a bit outlandish, but definitely not ugly.

I think the elements work well together colour/pattern/texture wise. The lapels are way to big and the throat latch is affected. The coat will date quickly.

I would also stay well clear of those button boots as they are a stylistic anachronism.

For the average punter, fist look and the outfit knocks it out of the park. Great fabric on the suit, great blue of the shirt brings out the browns wonderfully. I wouldn't cut my stuff like that, but it suits this guy. Yeh the jacket is a bit short (for my taste), the tie knot too big (yes does balance the lapels - too wide for my taste), but this aint my suit, its his and I think its great. I also would have straight flapped or hacking flapped pockets. I just think the suit looks a little too country for button boots.... Button boots look like something Aubercy do. Leffot carry them, no? http://blog.leffot.com/2010/07/11/button-up/ But somehow, I agree, it works! The only thing that I take offense at is the "I'm trying way too hard glasses in the pocket" thing... freakin' A, its just too much, with a pocket square too... never mind, no one's perfect! J

This is excellent. I'm fascinated by these young Japanese men and their dedication to dressing well. They often do it very well.
