On The Street... Vintage Guy, New York
Usually I'm not a big fan of looks that are too vintage but this look is just modern enough. I guess the only super vintage element is the color but even that is a nice break from downtown black and charcoal.

post a commentOne of my favorite jokes:
Q: Do you know why NYers always wear blacK?
A: They're just waiting for something darker to come along.
Funny, no? - JCH
The word dapper comes to mind. I am on side with you that I generally don't "do vintage", but this one pulls it off. I love the hat.
At first I wasn't sure about the belt: but everything else works so I'll overlook it.
I'd also lose the leather wristband, unless it's a watch, in which case, I guess it's forgivable.
Again--see gentlemen below and comments about him--color carries the day.
I don't like the hat.
The rest is good though! Retro indeed.
I love this. Color, hat, plaid all of it.
This is great personal style. Love the word tips of his oxford. The wristband works. His big navy airline bag and that porkpie hat is cool. I wish more men would have this guys sense of daring, individuality and nonchalance. In a sea of NY black, I agree with you, it is refreshing to see other colors.
Love the color of the pants.
I wonder if a close-up of the shirt would show a tiny strip with a similar shade?
I think a hat always adds - in addition to keeping the sun off you. This one goes nicely.
I like the outfit, I agree with it looking very Capote-y. Although my favourite part is the rolled up pants. They are rolled up just high enough for us to see his shoes but not high enough that we can distinguish what he is matching his socks to.
He pulls off a look I always wished I could have when I tried the vintage route in the 80's. It still works.
Is that Charles Phoenix? He's very cool, as is this young man, and so is this site.
I like his sense of color. The hat is definitely fitting, casual and gentlmenly (if thats a word). Looks ready to go about town and tip his hat to a few of the ladies.
