Digging through my archives I found this photo I made a year or two ago. He wasnt exactly in-or-out of style then, and is just as fly now- so I thought to post since Im longing for the streets of The Gotham City.
Notice his:
shirt cuff
jacket cuff
ticket pocket
bottom button open on his vest
flair
Saw this cat in the SFO airport. As with most of my subjects, he was surprised I told him I thought he ‘looked cool’.
Turquoise shirt!
That wide lapeled blazer!
suede snap vest, unfastened!
Those Vans or canvas sneakers!
Oh, & I been wearing that hat lately. fond of a captains or fishermans cap.

Gots to love a man who makes his own pleats.
horrible belt but the shirt and blazer were just perfect. When it comes to events like this, If youre not actually celebrating a dead one, its just another reason to get dressed up. I’m cool with costume just about any day, but I will tear you apart… When we got into the park, there was the most beautiful & scary trees, altars & costumes. This cat definitely wasnt scary but he had one of the best looks I’ve seen in SF so far. a mockneck with a beret. very art director from back in the day. There were some older cats that really turned it out. went in, worked it. cant be mad at someone that just showed up and wasnt in costume. I of course liked that he had contrasting shoe laces. Another cat that wasnt dressed up for the holiday but just had great colors! theres something special about a fella in a not precious beanie. non sagging, non cashmere etc. say what you will about his clothes clothes. He is killing it. oy, nakedness in garages along the parade route. Too many idiots/brands/stores are abusing fedoras and fur felt hats in general, this one I think I like. (he almost looks like he’s a 70’s rocker) This dudes camera strap was pretty cool. very cool.
A purdy bird.
Watch kinda effed it up, but I like the scarf with the western shirt.
