post a commentWhat kind of dog is he walking?
All buttons closed, i don't agree about the correctness.
What's interesting is that it appears his jacket was cut to have all the buttons closed, which is rather unusual.
On the jacket
Either the top two
Or the middle one
But never all three
Buttoned!
is there a reason why all three of his coat buttons are buttoned?
That is a beautiful tweed jacket!
To answer your question...
I'm in!
Gosh, another marvelous photo too.
Ok, so he buttoned all three, but I LOVE that jacket! The hacking pockets, the high gorge, the jacket is classic style. The hat looks good on this guy too.
If Giovanni Agnelli could leave his buttondown collars unbuttoned and be considered stylish, why can't this guy button all three buttons and be considered the same? It's not the number of buttons, it's how you pull it off. And, he's pulling just fine....
This may be the nerdiest I can get about clothes but, the idea that you never button the bottom button is almost always true with 99% of the jackets you will see today. However, certain English houses will cut a jacket that is meant to be buttoned all the way. The Duke himself had a few and there are a number of famous photos of him with a fully closed jacket.
What gives this man's jacket away is the fact the the bottom button is aligned with the top of his hacking pockets.
This is amazing. Quite literally one of the ONLY times I've ever seen three buttons on a jacket fastened and not "tut-tutted".
A strange phenomenon. But an ever-so stylish one.
This guy looks outstanding, and you people are arguing about the "correctness" of his buttoning.
I guess some people will just never get it. Oh well...
i never knew that to button all your jacket buttons was unusual. and the answer is no i don't think there are stylish men to replace this man in the future, that is what makes me so sad.
He looks wonderful, regardless of whether all of his buttons are closed or not. And I am afraid that there aren't any stylish young men to take his place!
Don't you think he knows about the buttons? The guy obviously knows what's he doing.
It's unfashionable and small minded to cite fashion faux pas
If you're 80 and I want your clothes as a 19 year old, you automatically rule.
I suspect he might have buttoned all three because there was a chill in the air.
Agreed. He knows what he's doing.
If there are men around who will take his place in 20 years, they will be a very small tribe.
I certainly hope so.
Funny, I consider being judgmental rather unfashionable.
ha, I am the phoenix from the smoldering sartorial ash of my generation! Take heed, ye bloggers! Joe is my name.
To answer your question: no. Everyone today is too busy being ironic, and I don't imagine that will change in 20 years.
First of all, he looks great. In regards to the button rule: looks like he is wearing it more as a coat rather than a suit or sports jacket. He looks ready for the chill and the way he is put together expresses that (i.e. the way the scarf is worn). He is perfectly styled. Thanks Sartorialist for seeing the truth behind the "rules"
I can't believe we're arguing about whether or not the fact that this man's 3 buttons are ALL fastened negates his right to be stylish.
Stamp collecting. Maybe stamp collecting is the answer! Something that takes up alot of time, and requires one to be detail-oriented to the point of farce...
I too want to know what kind of dog he had.
I think he looks great.
Here's a man who wears an ascot and all anyone can see is the jacket.
Yes! I will take his place. I'm already pushing the envelope about as far as I can, but without grey hair and a weathered face, I can't quite pull it off as well.
Olay should make an aging cream so young guys can try to have such great "old man style."
He is truly stylish and my definition of stylish is epitomized by breaking all the rules and still looking great. This is one of the sharpest-looking English gents whether or not his lowest button should be closed.
Even though he has all three buttons closed, I don't think he is violating the central tenet of male dress. The jacket is not a sport coat it is either an English equestrian or hunting jacket. Those jackets frequently have four buttons--all which can be button quite properly.
God, I hope we are still making men like that. I would feel stylish just by walking next to him and absorbing his atmosphere. This may reveal too much about my psychology: but I would love to take his arm.
English-looking? As soon as I saw this photograph, it screamed "French aristo". Not sure that's a hacking jacket, either. Hacking jackets are cut much higher with a distinct waist and skirt.
i love the fabric, i love the old man, i love the red leash.
Answer: probably not, but people will try. That kind of sartorial crispness or elegance was from a period before fashion entered stage left, or right. I wish money wasn't the arbiter of dress.
