A Visit To Schott

P1360614Custom made for me, The Perfecto done in a Harris Tweed fabric! P1360616 P1360618Their Pea Coat in a Blackwatch Plaid by Harris Tweed with resin buttons. P1360621 P1360622As we have been seeing many varsity jackets lately, I have also been seeing quite a few fellas in this really vintage looking varsity style jacket. This done in an American tweed. P1360625My favorite on the rack was this rigid denim Perfecto made using Cone Denim. Sorry the picture isn’t that great. P1360627 P1360632OK. So I’ll take a tweed perfecto, a denim perfecto and this vest!
P1360636While we are on the subject of two-tone leather…
P1360637A beautiful old-school sweater made to look like the real mccoy from back when. Coming in green and burgandy as well.
P1360650Greg Chapman, the man behind the deigns of the latest offerings from the legendary Schott company.

A Peak Lapel Hudson Bay Coat worn with A Porkpie Hat & Bowtie

P2100106If you have visited my website/log before, you may have seen this dude before. I have shot him over and over since I first saw him walking in SoHo about twelve years ago. I think he’s been on here twice, the first time wearing the same coat. Most recently in the spring or summer wearing a madras plaid blazer, sweater tied around his waist or worn over his shoulders and silk knit tie outside Bergdorf Goodman where he does visual merchandising. Love a man that loves to get dressed! Can’t get over the color of his hat. Really beautiful!

Footwear: A Few Sharp Creases, Bunch of Great Breaks, Cuffs, Hems, Some Hoisery & A Lil Bit O’ Leg ~NYFW FW11

P2090027Winter White with a Black Loafer & Red Rag Wool Socks P2090025I like the stay-pressed khaki on Josh with the slightly dressier boat shoe.P1340585I failed to ask this fella his name, looks like I may have not even asked to take this photo… P2100090Classics worn by Christian of Ivy Style P1340634Love the orange socks with these. Not to worry, he had on short pants. P2110250Love winter white jeans but I like how Matt wears em in winter once dirty. P2110262Another day of this and another good look from Tommy. P2120384 I love how Ben stays purdy classic with a bit of his own flair.     P2130511While a desert boot is not the warmest for your dogs unless you wear with rag wool socks, Jared gets extra points for his winter whites & switching out the standard laces with some polka dot laces (his gals possibly?) P2130513Super rugged trouser worn by Phil Oh P2130535These were some of the coolest boots I saw this season. Half black leather and the other blue suede. Not sure if they were on the feet of Alex Badia or Luigi Tadini. P1340426Saved the best for last again. These creepers belong to a very special woman; Edina Sultanik of BPMW
