Comments on "Beppe Due"
Is that a SAFETY PIN on his tie!!!!Yikes, come on now!
Love love love!
I love older man styling. Something so smart and comfortable yet not trying too hard. The safty pin touch is cute ^^
It's a disarmingly simple outfit, but one I suspect that was probably pulled together with casual indifference. Such style!
Love your blog for its sensible eye and unexpected surprises.
what about that safety pin?
what about that safety pin?
love the safety pin. and the two tone square to compliment the shirt
It is all too perfect! Many an older gentlemen should take note and follow his lead in terms of how to wear a suit. Perfection personified!
simple and clean, and as for the safety pin, i guess it's simple and clean, who knows?
i'm undecided about the safety pin... but overall.. love it!
The safety pin makes it. I don't care how tacky anyone else thinks it is, he used a safety pin because he wanted to and it looks great!
The saftey pin is the coup de grace.
That was my first thought! The safety pin??? Really?!?!? Please explain.
Quite brilliant, down to the safety pin and the two-color pocket square.
One note: the keyhole shape of the button or flower hole on the lapel. Some sartorialists rail against this shape. But do The Sartorialist's sartorialists really care? Or is it just another thing this great guy can get away with? Weigh in.
That safety pin is brilliant! He knows it will get some raised eyebrows and it looks like he is having fun with it. Love a man who doesn't take himself so seriously. Gives his otherwise perfect outfit some spunk. Okay Scott, what does Beppe do again? Obviously he's some sort of fashionista. Give it up.
I use a safety pin also , although I have mine on the inside of the tie !!!
he still looks great and I'm sure he couldn't care what anyone thinks
The colour blue of the pocket square is awesome.
Man, this is too perfect. I've been lurking a little while now and just have to tell you how wonderful I think your blog is. Thank you.
Absolute class. I could plan my suit, shirt and pocket square, etc. forever and not look that good.
The safety pin kills it.
Love, love love it. So stylish, so sweet.
Belated Happy BlogDay, Sartorialist. I want to echo those who say they dress in the hope/fear of being spotted by you; can't get away with schlumpy ever, just in case. >wink<
A safety pin or tie-clip in that form?
And is it one pocket-square or two, arranged in back of one another, colors contrasting?
Do hope it's the latter...
pocket square is very fetching
Congrats to THE SARTORIALIST on its one year anniversary. Thank you for being an important part of my day, giving me a peek into style and its intepreters whether they be industry insiders or folks who put together a clever look.
The photography is sharp and precise and the subjects ever-fascinating.
Wishing you continued success and many more postings!
it's probably not a safety pin but a $500 designer tie clip designed to look like a safety pin...
but i do love that pocket square
He looks great--walking sprezzatura. Who's the babe? Reminds me of Gilles and Kelly...
He is amazing. Love the texture on the tie. And the safety pin is charming, but does it damage the tie?
He's channeling Carl Reiner in "Ocean's Twelve"
He looks like someone I would love to have lunch with... and, by the way, the woman he's talking to in the first photo has GOR-GEOUS hair.
so funny! platinum, aluminum, whatever, it's a smile and a wink on a tie.
Ditto: He does channel Carl Reiner from Ocean's 11.
Gotta love the safety pin. Sometimes we all have to just wing it.
Fantastic! I love the pin too.
The picture of Sig. Modenese warms my heart. My grandfather, a lifelong schmatte schlepper and man of true elegance (as, apparently, is Sig. Modenese) often used utilitarian objects to hold his tie in place. It’s not that he lacked for tie clips/bars/pins; he could take as many as he wanted out of the display case in his men’s store. He just liked the offhand look of a safety pin or paper clip or bobby pin, or even the cap from a fountain pen. I do something similar to this day, but I use the gold or silver pins made for shirt collars. They come in a variety of widths to accommodate most any tie. It looks to me, however, like Sig. Modenese is using a plain old safety pin, judging from the clasp portion. The ones made for collars are usually a little more stylized in that area.
As for damaging the tie, it appears that Sig. Modenese’s is either knit or loosely woven, and, in either case, there’s no risk of harm. The pin simply passes through the tie between the knitted yarn or woven threads. For a tie of a tighter weave in which the pin might leave a permanent hole, just use a long enough pin to span the width of the tie so that the spring end is at one edge of the tie and the clasp it at the other. There’s usually not even any need to put the pin through the shirt fabric; just use one of the button holes.
All these people who cry over the saftey pin - on some young hipster it would been seen as throwaway and intersting - i love that as an older man he can affect the same mood - the saftey pin is genius
Although the safety pin gives the look an endearing quality, I think that the fact that it is placed 1/4 of the way down the shirt creates odd proportions in the torso. I love the way that the blue blends with the monochromatics of the suit.
I think the placement of his safety pin has to do with the fact that dear Beppe is trying to accentuate the positive and not his tummy.
charcoal gray and blue work extremely well , one of my favorites..... love the safety pin , good catch Sart
Well, this gives a whole new meaning to "power pin". Love the humour, love the blues.
SAFETY PIN ....defiintely a sense of humor showing ...always a welcome though to bee incorporated into one's style ...not only does it convey a sense of individuality but also a dose of of confidence too.
Definetly aree with the decision there.
The pocket square color another personal touch ...looks great ...love the two shades of blue in addition to all the other blues he has going , including the bold check shirt.NICE!
Sooo good :)
Hmm. Would we all find this gentleman so terribly stylish if we just happened to cross him in the street, without a clue as to who he was? I wonder.

Please, even though I told you who he is I'm sure that means very little to the readers - the praise for this guy is all about his classic style
The safety pin tie clip is perfect with the knit tie and the blue check shirt as the shirt and tie are both casual (not dressy).
Somewhere I have a gold paper clip tie clip that was given to me by a former boss when I admired the one he was wearing.
It is not the safety pin which causes me to raise an eyebrow, but rather the lapel. You'll notice that the lapel hole has a little round bit at the end, rather like a keyhole. This sort of hole ought to be reserved only for button holes. Anyone who knows suits avoids this at all costs -it usually indicates that your jacket is cheap and off the rack.
I don't understand what all the fuss about the pin is about. I wear one sometimes and if you go to the Army and Navy Club or the Guards and Cavalry Club in London, you'll be sure to spot quite a lot of the old buffers there sporting the pin(usually much lower down the tie).
