post a commentwow. all that bringin sexy back is not true . . . yet. this one has really brought it back for me haha i wish one day everybody would just dress like that and walk around town, world vintage day. wishful thinking . . . :'(
great look, and perfect smile to go with it...
love it!!
the pants in the socks, sweater, etc..
I'd love to see a bit more of the bike...being a cyclist I like bikes, the clothes are great but I hope you can post a side shot as well.
Great sweater... anybody where to get one?
I love his style, it makes you feel like you are in 1929, paperboy!
this has to be one of the best looks i've seen on this website. brilliant.
-AT
He looks so cool! He has just the right balance with the vintage; it's not too camp.
an excellent look - i want to see what else is in his wardrobe! i love anonymous' (the first poster's) idea of world vintage day!
Nice look, but isnt a bit over the top to put the year you are trying to copy on your chest?
Cute, not creepy.
Long live vintage! I really hope we see more men wearing smart lids like this too. I love a man in a nice hat.
Great sweater, pants, bike, shoes.
well done that man, at last, a vintage look that will turn heads for the right reasons rather than all the wrong ones.
I want that sweater!!
Hands down fantastic! The sweater is TDF (to die for) as are the shoes. He makes it look so effortless. Bravo!
it is all about details. One for all is the bicycle!
EXTRA! EXTRA! Read all about it!
It's a nice outfit.
BTW, when I read the title in my RSS feed, I thought you were referencing the other bicycle character (the one with the red bike and outlandish/unconventional outfits).
mltt
Oh, baby!
Does anybody else think his glasses actually add the finishing touch to this look? Without them I wouldn't like the look as much. Maybe I'm crazy.
fantastic stuff... damn side more stylish that those tour de france chaps
I think the look is fabulous ... but ... I would go with brown socks rather than white for sure!! And, what's the '1929' supposed to be ... the year he's immitating, or his race # ... maybe pick a different #, so that's clear?
Well, to be picky, I'd call this demi-vintage; there are pleasing allusions to decades past, like the cap and shoes, but the pants are quite modern.....which probably saves the look from being too costumey.
I DO think the sweater with its "1929" is an authentic artifact. Given its bulky knit and deep waste cuff, it should be....
he's cute. anyone not as cute could not pull this off.
To be truly vintage you would need wool knickers, long socks, wool jersey of some sort, but a sweater would do. Still, a fine outfit for cycling in the city.
he is adorable! like he just came off of a wes anderson movie.
i just don't understand the idea of walkign around in a period costume. i mean what if some girl walks around looking like marie antoinette? there's nothing stylish about it. it's just a halloween costume. i hope this fellowwas on his way to the theater where he is a member of the cast
UP***
This guys are so cool...
I love it!
I LOVE vintage bike man!! *swoon*
I don't understand. Did people back in the day go around with sweaters with the year printed on them? As if to remind them what year they were in?
what a beautiful shirt!
Beyond cool.
a me questo tipo proprio non piace !!! no no..!!!
jeeves and wooster/laurie and fry
cool!
a true test is to look at the outfit without the bike...do you still like it? i do. it is a statement that didn't require a "prop" such as a beautiful bike. i think the bottoms of the pants were tucked for functional reason (not getting caught in the paddles) which normally is advesory to having a look, but it completed the look here.
My first thought, when I saw this photo, is that his bike ought to be a vintage model... but I'm willing to forgive the contemporary velocipede because his confidence and smile are so adorable. :)
he's cool
i love his hat and the badge detail he's got on it
the one and only guy who will ever be able to pull off lengthy socks in a cool way
yay!
top half is more vintage than bottom which is tending towards tech, but balances well overall...
what does the badge on his cap say?
wow what a look, perfect match. Is the shoes All stars?
J'ADORE!!!!!!!!!
I like the "1930" better but i guess they wont be in shops until next year ;-)
A nice change from spandex tights!
Is this what the dedicated biker wears to dressed up occasions?
vintage is hard to do right. usually when people go all out with the vintage vibe they look like they're going to a costume party. this guy IS doing it right though. looks completely natural on him. only thing i would change is the date on the sweater. it's readiliy apparent he's dressing in an early 20th century style...we don't need the sweater to point it out
Perhaps the Yale 1929 rowing team, where Yale trounced Harvard with a 4 length victory.
Love this - this is how you do vintage with a modern flair.
To people who nitpick waht is period-appropriate or not, please... he lives in 2006, not 1929, nor is he dressed to be an extra in a movie. He simply references a period in his dressing and does it brilliantly.
I love the way he's used cargo pants and new shoes to stop the outfit from looking too museumy.
This is the correct way to wear vintage!
Dartmouth College (and I believe other Ivies) has sweaters for every graduating class that look precisely like the one the cyclist is wearing.
Whether it's a Dartmouth sweater, I can't say; but I'd bet the year represents a graduation date.
Please...accept my comments...
I readed about yourself in Vogue...you're very intelligent.
Like you, I love the fashion.
Good weekend.
I've seen this guy, I got super excited when I biked past him.
I did a search on Google for original photos of this gent. What's the link for his previous appearance on The Sartorialist?
Not Yale, Brown! Look at the color!
I am an avid bike enthusiast - I ride to everywhere in Manhattan. For me, a bicycle, a whistle on a lanyard, and a helmet and gloves are the sartorial accessories that are the most fun and freeing to any outfit I may choose.
And what can be better than beating traffic to my destination while keeping fit at the same time?
Next time, please include the bike's profile so we can see Vintage Bike Guy's companion's colors too.
Thanks...JHC
I like his look! but I prefer keeping old bikes on my garage wall ;)
This top is identical to the one in Paul Smith's new cycling collection out this season. You should find it in the NY shop. Good luck!
I'm reminded of Candace Bushnell on NY "bicycle boys" in "Sex and the City": geek chic...
I wonder if he's in publishing?!
His smile is the perfect accessory. He's a 10.
There is something really sexy & sophisticated about vintage cycle wear. The marino wool sweaters with innertube pockets in the back with horn button closures,the tight fitting, high neck zips, form fitting ribbing everywhere, burgundy, marigold and white stripes. The shoes; Old sidi perforated, hard soled cycle shoes. I swear those are the influence for all those funky pumas. - great look - functional or not
You should peep "L Eroica" race for more stylish,soulful retro bike looks!
He looks like Harold Lloyd! With the glasses and sweater. It's perfect!
RetroMatt,
If you read this, can you tell me who made your handlebars?
Thanks!
I think I'm in love with RetroMatt! That jersey really sets off the slim waist, the hat is stunning, but the cheeky smile is just the best!
simplemente..... genial, un 10
It's the hat and cool glasses that does it. Pure Gatsby
