post a commentEKA :D
Cool hair&jacket, very well-dressed guy indeed.
Great hair!
Fabulous. Love the knitted tie meeting a funky belt, love the waistcoat, and love the cape, which is clearly the perfect solution when you don't want to wear a mismatched jacket or an overcoat. Great.
Is he using a skinny scarf as a tie? His belt is studded? Ah, this is just delish. Everything tells a story about this man and I'm loving the tale.
Sweet find. A cape? Hilarious. This site is my homepage because it is so good. But if there is one thing I crave, it is a single cutline that explains where the subject is going or coming from. Was this guy going to a job interview or vampire convention?
it is jaw dropping, inspirationally
very harry potter... but chic...
LOVE the hair, tie, vest, belt, not to mention the cape!
that tie is knit? strange....
At first I was going to comment thatI like the vest and cape combo, and then I noticed the tiniest detail that made me fall in love with this outfit completely...the studded leather belt! THAT is a mark of pure genius!
I love the color combination and preppy style brought together with the modern stud belt. Hot.
the two things i love most? 1) the curls. 2) the studded belt.
Always nice to see someone is thinking about fashion in a longer scope than just "contemporary". It seems to me though, that the belt doesn't belong there.
Can I have his number?
Oh, that's wonderful.
the cape is so sweet! i guess it looks great on gals too~
For me the hair leaves something to be desired, but the outfit: sweet sartorial perfection. The studded belt, and knit tie add a nice edge to the outfit, but the two details that interest me are the school-boy cape (any idea what's on the crest) and the waistcoat; buttoned in such a way that gives this look that certain panache. Well shot Scott, Cheers!
Love this, the collegiate look is fantastic.
is that Scott Thompson from The Kids in the Hall?
Punk! Trad! Beautiful hair!
Love the vest and especially the tie! One of the few men I've seen that can pull of a cape.
Wow, I really like the emblem on the cape, and I really like the way the dark cap and pants counter the patterned shirt, tie and vest. Also, zoom in on the tie, it's knit!! A very lovely look overall, I think my favorite accessory to go with a look like this is gorgeous, blonde curly hair though!
He'd fit right in at Hogwarts.
Like the waistcoat though.
Preppy facade, Goth underpinnings...I like!
What an ensemble of details, from the studded belt to the preppy crest and knitted tie. Thanks to the colour palette and conservative elements like the waistcoat and black pant he's able to be really playful.
Great shot.
i'm really diggin' his tie.
I love it
hogwarts for grown ups?
I like it though - what gorgeous hair!
Very cool.
I like the tie! The texture of it takes away some of the formality of the outfit. A good thing as it matches his hair!
The crest on his cape reminds me of my old boarding school uniform--but for grown-ups. Love how the studded belt toughens up the look, even with those gorgeous corkscrew curls!
Punk rock meets English boarding school, a well-trod path, and he makes it his own. If I'm not mistaken, those are SAFETY PINS he's using as collar stays...now that says '1977'. Last time you posted a man-cape, Scott, there was much flak; perhaps tastes are evolving, as everyone likes this combo.
I just love the traditional Oxford scholar look combined with the studded belt - fantastic!
I love capes, but I think you do need to be tall, like I think he is, to wear them well.
miss cavendish said...Love how the studded belt toughens up the look, even with those gorgeous corkscrew curls!
miss cavendish is exactly right!...especially about the studded belt. I also really love the knitted tie and the background colour.
the cape adds soo much more to this outfit!
i love it!!
the cape adds soo much more to this outfit!
i love it!!
This is really cool. I like how he's made the style his own with the belt and unbuttoning. He seems at ease in it all.
He's cute, isn't he ?
Perfect. Ralph Lauren meets Hogwarts.
I love the fact that the knot in the tie is secured with a large pin. When I first looked at this picture I thought that he was older simply because of the look on his face and his stance. However, the studded belt makes this look much younger, rakish even.
The sleek line and austere color of the cape are the perfect complement/contrast to his soft textured curls. Fantastic pairing.
He has this whole Hogwarts/wizard vibe going on. I think I would prefer this without the cape; it just seems too costume-ish. The belt is a nice touch, though.
love, love, love it
The cape is from Rugby. I have one just like it. $25 bucks in a Florida Polo outlet. I'll never wear it but if anyone wants it (one size fits all) I'll let it go for $200 bucks. Shipping included!
Schu, I'll cut you in for 20%.
Oh, wow, this is quite dashing!
Am I the only one who thinks the studded belt makes him look like a Hot Topic tool? Maybe its just my own personal bias but that detail killed this look for me. Other than that he is totally pulling off the cape and I love a good knit tie.
Gorgeous outfit! I think the hair nailed it, lol!
Oh my god, who is that man? He (fine, and his look) is breathtaking.
totally love this photo
Love the belt and cape...
If I am not mistaken the tie as well as the vest are from J. Crew. Their website has the exact herringbone vest and knit tie.
So British, but in a good way. I love CRESTS and it was nice that it was emblazoned on a CAPE of all things. Very HP. I also really love KNIT TIES and the fact that he accessorized it with that barely there TIE PIN was genius. Mad Props!
-AM
I love the alternations between the vest and the belt, the cape and the tie... And the messy hair! It's as if he is struggling against an uptight influence and a personal want to rebel. I love it.
I'm going to say the cape is over-doing it a tad. I do dig the whole gothic, prep school look (studded belt with collar bar and a great knit tie).
Hmmm
I´m not sure, looks a bit like a costume.
All items are nice, but still....doesn´t seem natural to me.
It's great to see a man in a cape. I have my own love affair with capes. Does anyone else notice the tucked-in tie and the safety pin in the collar?
Overall, a great look.
The cape obstructs the confluence of the herringbone tweed vest & the studded belt.
Reminiscent of a cute schoolboy all grown up. Nice look, but studded belts are almost always a no in my opinion.
Definite kudos for originality and resourcefulness (the scarf/tie, the safety pin)!
from the title I was very excited, but then I saw that instead of being some gorgeous man in a cape (WHAT A WONDERFUL IDEA), he looked like a Hogwarts student.
one word (almost): i'm in love !
If I am not mistaken-almost everything he is wearing is from Ralph Lauren Rugby. The patch has three crowns in silver thread and reads R.L.F.C. (Ralph Lauren Football Club) across the top. All of the Rugby stores sell these patches and can be out on any piece of clothing. www.Rugby.com
the cape serves a purpose, which I find truly satisfying as I have been seeing people wear clothing elements just for the affect of appearing stylish. The lines of the shirt, tie, and vest all pertain to different directions, but thats what makes this outfit truly extraordinary.
Who has the balls to wear a cape? Only a true sartorialist! As the mad poet wrote, 'The pride of the peacock is the glory of God.'
This is one of your best shots. Well done.
He looks great. The photo captures him really well too.
Btw, his cape is identical to the ones University students wear at this time of the year in Portugal (both man and woman wear them). Usually we put the insignia of our university on the outside (plus any other insignias of other universities "conquered"- think each date equals one insignia, kind of thing).
So, to answer the question from the anonimous above "Who has the balls to wear a cape?" Every university student runs around in one at this time of the year, in Portugal at least. There is no such thing as capes being just for women, or fashion forward people.
"Oh, bloody hell. The last train to Hogwarts just left. I'll just stand here in my cape in front of this blue wall...and look absolutely dashing."
Love the shirt/vest/scarf tie combo, but does it make anyone else cringe that he put a safety pin through his collar?
This haircut and outfit would look great on someone younger. His face looks far too mature for this and it screams "lost youth".
omg. <3
Great vest.
Ugly belt.
Cape - no comment.
its not a safety pin! its a tie pin-very old school chic
"That's a lot of 'look'."
Love everything...except the cape. It's the crest. I realize that anything beyond the most basic clothing is an affectation, but should I wear my tam or hood around?
Everything else is so great looking. What did his shoes look like?
-rdhd
This chap seems to be getting a much better press than your earlier cape wearer, http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4686/1648/1600/LEScape.jpg I wonder why?
I almost bought that tie yesterday in Marshalls (as Chip said above, Ralph Lauren)... - Great look on him! Satisfyingly slouchy.
This has Seinfeld written all over it.
"Who wears a cape?"
I like the look but it looks sloppy around his waist.
I agree the waist doesn't look right, but the cape does look stunning.
safety pin on collar is nice
enlarge photo to see
For me its about texture. tweed vest, knit tie, studded belt. its a modern take on prep. verry inspirational. the collar pin is a nice touch too
He looks like the cool kid Hogwarts never had...
lovely! he looks like he walked out of a Ralph Lauren ad!
He looks to me like a young cool teacher from a posh English boarding school on a school excursion, wearing the school cape over his normal clothes.
Great, I love it. The cape is a little daring though.
Love capes, but not that one :S (the crest exceed). At least its always a pleasure to see that some men dont forget that exquisite garment.
I love the cape... it reminds me of Z Zegna's recent raincoat/ cape runway look! The cape is so traditional and unique! This guy pulls off a beautiful traditional meets today look that I admire!
his look is stunning!
It kind of puzzles me that this look (I like it, btw) got a lot of compliments, and the milanese guy with a cape got a lot of "costume-y".
Actually, this guy IS wearing "a costume" while the milanese guy was wearing "a classic" (grandpa's cape);
at least in my (italian) perception.
I agree with the guy commenting the photo of the "layered" indian boy: we should not be limited by and to our backgrounds.
This appears to me a very British look, with the cape, vest, tie, stud belt, and pretty-boy curls. The cape gives some preppy appeal, but is offset slightly by the studded belt. The knit tie is a great twist on the classic, especially paired with such a fabulous vest! His cute curls just add to the whole theme of updated British classics!
This is a great look for many special occasions! I'm loving the detail of the leaving the last two buttons on the vest unbuttoned to show the black and white stripped tie meeting the black studded belt - very clever! The cape brings in a dramatic flair! Love the curly hair, but it needs a lil grooming.
ohhh love the crest on the cape. he can't be american.
give this chap a wand and he'll be set for Hogwarts! simply spiffing! :)
Like the people from before said... every item he's wearing comes from one label-- Ralph Lauren Rugby. The cape was fall '07, and it could fasten at the top with some AMAZING silver skull and bone things, and the knit tie, shirt, belt, waistcoat, and collar pin ALL come from the same line (interestingly enough, considering the contrasting styles of the studded belt vs. the boarding school look).
Hes really rockin that cape. Love the combination of the straight with the edgy. Cute knitted tie, and that studded belt just hints of his true intentions.
I love it. The tie-bar, the belt, the shirt, the vest, the pants. And the cape works on it for outdoors. Fantastic outfit.
he is totally rocking the 'harry potter' look, isn't he?!
harry potter meets jay gatsby. brill.
