post a commentThat great blue Australian sky suits him :-)
Love the jacket... although I think only he can pull it off... =) It's so sad... nobody dresses like this anymore.
the jacket is still cool...
Immense. He just looks so serene and strong. Great photo.
Xxxc
Apart from the fact that he looks very similar to an ex-prime minister of ours, this image looks so Australian. Well done to you for capturing it.
So well put together. Love the statement red handkerchief.
stylisto.
Oh Chapel St! I miss Melb sooo much. Scott, don't miss the opportunity to go cactus hunting in Elwood, always the prominent attraction while in Victoria.
This is great!
Great gentleman!
Says a lot about Australia. Looks like America in the early 60's.
What a dapper gent!
I think his pattern is too busy, but I can dig the colors. Confident man--I will give him that.
the fabric is a bit different from my taste. however! I am i am in great appreciation of the details like; the the sleeve length and complementing shirt cuff. The well pressed pants and pinky ring are all romantic hallmarks of a time when people got "dressed" when leaving the house. it's very nice to see. very handsome.
I'm guessing this man is an institution of Melbourne. I hope there are more Melbourne fashionistas out for you today - ANZAC day can be a very quiet day in Australia :)
very well put together!
Yeah, totally agree!
He looks awesome, but why chapel street - WHY? It's where all the trashy fake-tan and gold shoes set go. Come to Fitzroy, or stick to the CBD's laneways ...
That is such an amazing jacket. I really hope patterned jackets make a big comeback in menswear
I was so intrigued to see where the sartorialist would go in Melbourne. I love that is it on the 'other end of chapel' , windsor!
Gorgeous fabric on that jacket!
I am so happy you are in australia to shed some light on how wonderful the fashion is in OZ. Melbourne specifically has amazingly fashionable people!!!
Ahh who else can pull off my grandmother's wallpaper so well? Can he be my Australian grandpappy please?
You are SUCH an inspiration.
I love the jacket.
Nice coat with individual touches, and perfect fit. I wonder what kind of shoes he has on. I am secretly hoping that they are boots.
Welcome to Australia Scott!
Wow. What an incredible pattern on that suit. And the pop of magenta? Genius. - Melissa
father figure
What a dapper man! I would of never of guessed he was on Chapel St!
That Melbourne sky is more like the colour of his suit today though :)
Slick!
Adore the offsetting red.
Very very nice jacket...
Philippe
www.punkgeisha.com
I love it!
I love seeing men that take risks.
check out my blog you're on my worth a visit list.
I doubt you will.
But you might!
www.fashion-intervention.blogspot.com
Also please be in london next december. I want to run in to you. haha
I saw this photo being taken. So very star struck by seeing you both.
That jacket looks 70s........
I'm so excited that you are in Melbourne I've been dying for you to capture the style around here! Please run, don't walk to Brunswick Street, so cool there.
My tailor wears jeans and a sweatshirt; but his suits...
I love that jacket!!!!
Best!
Jose
except its autumn in australia... not sure of this but perhaps darker pants would have worked better?
Fabulous jacket. We have some wonderful old school tailors round Melbourne, so glad you found one.
Great fabric and proportions! By the way, are you coming to São Paulo? I'd love to have you here. I'm sure you'll get nice shots. Bye.
Go Australia.
OMG Sart. You're completely in my hood! I live round the corner. Hope you love Melbourne!! XXXX Bon Voyage.
Great jacket and combination - it just fits. I would never say that this says a lot, or is typical of Australian fashion though. But still very cool none-the-less.
hahahahahaha bless. second what someone said up there about capturing the australianness of this shot - spot on. also second what somebody else said about dont waste all your time on chapel - go north baby!
these pictures make me feel a wee bit patriotic...
keep em coming!!!!!
Ah, welcome to Australia Sart. I recommend going to Brunswick st in Fitzroy. Great cafes and interesting fashion to be had.
Wouldn't you love to have a conversation with him? He says so much before he speaks, eh?
You're coming to Sydney and I have nothing to wear!!! This gentleman.. his head doesn't suit his outfit..
love that pattern of his blazer...
chapel st? tragic. average joes hang there. fitzroy, carlton and the cbd......lots of characters.
oxford street is a good place to check out....
adorable. love the burgandy handkerchief in pocket. he looks like my nonno :)
Your a marvel Scott. They drop you off on Chapel Street with it's solarium princesses and label-tarts and you return triumphant with a striking pic of this gorgeous old codger! I also thought you would enjoy Fitzroy or the CBD laneways.. Im just proud as punch to have you in town! If I spot you at RAFW in Sydney it will make my week ! xo
I was just there last week! I love the texture of his jacket, the red is a really nice touch. I agree, darker pants would have made it slight bit more of a stunner. Good pic :)
That jacket is SHARP!
Welcome to Melbourne. Please don't restrict yourself to Chapel St and Brunswick St.
Hi Mr Sartorialist! Welcome to australia!
While you're in Sydney I suggest you go and see Hannah Mcnicol, who has a shop with her own label in Paddington, (76 Paddington st, Paddington, right next to fashionable William st, called 'hannah mcnicol'). The woman herself is magnificent and i'd love to see her on your blog. She is truly stylish.
Hope you have a great time while you're here.
A Sydneysider
Wow, great print - love the fabric...his tie looks handsome and the hankie...very stylish !
He looks proud in this pic and I don't blame him !
What a cool guy - love the pose!
guess it was Anzac day so everyone was dressed smartly...love his unique suit jacket though and 70's aviator sunnies...
Just Class .
Mr Dakis, the Invisible Mender. Can revive anything from any period of his life. A genius of his craft.
This chap is so well dressed.
How did he end up posing for you?
Suave!
AWesome! strong textures....cooly put together:)
It´s a gentelman!!!
Zepequeña.
I love that you are in Melbourne Sart
please stay away from Chapel Street though. Try Flinders Lane and Degraves St in the city, or Brunswick area.
wow I love Melbourne
oh chapel street!! I live around the corner! I cannot believe you are in my hometown!
If you get a chance, pop on by brunswick street, or off the little laneways down in the CBD, catch tram 72! ehhe
I hope you have and absolute blast down in melb-town.
OH OH OH! and the coffee!! degraves street!
Scott! You have no idea how exciting it is to have you in Australia!! I hope you enjoy RAFW and i hope to see you sometime throughout the week!
Adore the red handkerchief.
Wow. The fabric is unexpected, but it works so well. Love the pocket square. Could you get away with that look in the U.S.?
Curious jacket. It looks and lays like a brocade--which would usualy be reserved for cooler weather. Perhaps it should be a tad longer in the body?
The level of pattern matching is unbelievable. All the way from the lapel to pockets and sleeve head. I am not able to look closely at the pocket hinge roll detail, if he did match this, then what more can i say? I think the tailor chose this design to show his level of competency in the art of tailoring. Excellent eye for catching this Mr.Schuman---MB
He looks amazing!
o, it is a tremendous photo, he is very elegant
Fantastic foto, this is old men is very elegant!!! i like it
I like it, he is so elegant
a god. - i knew you would find him somewhere!!!!
...
all kneel and hail!
How cute!
this is perfect!
i wish more men still dressed like this these days.
Impeccable!
Cool
Abraços
This man shows a lot of character, I think. He looks old fashioned and in style at the same time. Good going there!!
Gorgeous!
Australians are the hottest people on the planet, I'm so glad you're going there!
Sart...Australia welcomes you with open arms..have a wondrous stay...you'd have such a ball with the colours of the outback :-) however I imagine you've limited time!
again WELCOME!!!
Scott please look up Kym Ellery if you are in Sydney, very chic designer
I lived just around the corner from Emmanuel Dakis' shop for 9 years and always thought the old world charm of his suits should make a comeback.
My dad's name is also Emmanuel so it always reminded me of him as well.
Where did you find this guy? Chapel st is a wasteland and you find this gem?
My Dad in the 1970's, 80's, 90's and now. It still looks good on him.
Michael - it's autumn in Melbourne. Don't be fooled by the bright blue sky - over the weekend we had unseasonably freeezing weather. It was 14 degrees (well, 58 fahrenheit) on the day this gentleman was photographed!
I love the way the jacket fits him. He knows what he's doing.
I think you need a close up of this pattern.
I am forced to look at myself after reading these comments. I would have dismissed this outfit and not realised or enjoyed the thrill it has given so many others.
Or maybe its just really hard for a Kiwi to compliment an Aussie...
Fashion in aspic
Is that a pen mark or something on his right pant-leg?
I think my grandmother had a sofa with that pattern.
Now I'm looking forward to being old.
This photograph is so well put together. The sky is amazing in Australia! This guy seems like such a gentleman.
Aww, come on guys, most Melbournians know the South Yarra end of chapel is a joke but Windsor is a pretty cool part of town with many sartorialist worthy participants residing there. That's my humble opinion anyway :)
great and chic jacket, love the mood.
you must visit fitzroy to see a true Melbourne style. Chapel street is so...chapel street!
Whoa this dude is sharp! That red pocket square, snazzy! The jacquard jacket in the subtle color and the aviators are the best.
Oh travelbug, your comment made chuckle at Australia, with which my country has a friendly rivalry...America in '60's you said...offensive, but I still laugh at it!
Welcome to Australia Scott. I hope you and your girlfriend have a wonderful stay here! Have fun at the RAFW also!
SO excited you are in Melbourne!!
Make sure you get into the CBD and around Brunswick Street - very chic people around there!
Hey Mr Sartorialist! Welcome to windy rainy Melbs!
I've noticed people telling you to go to Brunswick St Fitzroy to check the fashion.
If you do, go on Saturday and see my friend's band play the Old Bar at 8!
http://www.myspace.com/graveyardtrain3051
these boys are as Melbourne as it gets my friend.
Welcome to Melbourne Scott. Love your site. Check the CBD and especially the lanes and alleys for real Aussie street style.
Nice post! Two thumbs up! I've bookmarked this webiste!
cool jacket!
He looks like Johnny Cash!!!!
hahahahaha he does look like an old prime minister of ours! immensely! this is such an amazing shot though, his face looks so amazing and SO australian.
brooke
That's one sharp looking old guy!
Harmonious - Dark brown tie, nostalgic green jacket, with a hint of scarlet, and brown pants to complete the look.
yeah - to all those opposed Chapel St, head down to the Windsor end where this shot was taken. Jackets like this roam free! Nothing like the Toorak Rd end at all. Incredible eye, Scott, nice one.
Dave.
Welcome to Victoria hope you enjoy your time here.If you have the time visit Sassafras and Olinda in the Dandenongs, it is a beautiful place. You will love Cloudehill Garden it is superb. Good to see you have found Chapel street, it's full of young people. Enjoy, Enjoy.
Kind Regards
ahh the style of an Australian. Confident. and Assured. And slightly on the right side of wrong. Viva la Melb x
Welcome to Australia - enjoy!
From a new sydney street style photographer....www.thelocaliststyleforum.blogspot.com
there's a lot to uncover here once you've scratched the surface...i see the most inspirational style when i am without my camera it seems...and often very late at night!
cute old man!
Defenitly so smartly dressed as its Anzac Day. All of the old war veterins look beautiful on this important australian day. so glad ur in aus x
I love it, so debonair.
http://fendmagazine.com/
can hardly wait to you hit sydney, this sydney-sider hails you! x
nice work old fella!
Sure works for him! Love to see his choice in shoes and socks.
Lovely.
Question for you.
How often do you see people walking their dogs?
Are the dogs wearing clothing/styling in Aussie land?

About two years ago you posted here about a book you loved that was full of old Australian police photos, it all looked a bit Weegee... remember that? (City of Shadows: Sydney Police Photographs 1912-1948 by Peter Doyle) Well, the little museum that printed that book is very near Circular Quay where Australian Fashion Week is happening. They have an exhibition on at the moment called "Femme Fatales", which features old police photos of female criminals ("Wicked women, seductive sinners, vicious vixens!" the blurb says). If you get tired of the fashionistas and catwalks and feel like a fix of old photos, the Justice & Police Museum (link below) is only a 5 minute walk away...
http://www.hht.net.au/whats_on/highlights/exhibitions/femme_fatale
what a wog hahah
i love the way the red hankie contrasts against his patterned jacket
great attention to detail
you must visit the other side of our great city - fitzroy, carlton ...
Hey! Is that my Uncle Oscar???
Ahh....As one who travels the world, lives in Melbourne and loves fashion please take it from me, Emanuel is the best tailor on three continents. Magnificent work.....And delightfully funny. Very, very funny.
I just think he looks old.
I see you have now moved on to Sydney, I am a little disapointed that these two, whilst wonderfuly creative and thoughtful in their dress, are just such a tiny part of what Melbourne has to show to the rest of the world. We have so many more interesting and thought provoking subjects to photograph. If this is all you are going to post this Melbournite is a bit miffed.
this is so awesome. I love the jacket and the damascato work on it..very cool. reminds me a bit of my nonno:-)
a touch of italian style...
Gucci fabric??
elegant but not 2009's
Several years ago there was a fabulous Australian movie, "Strictly Ballroom" - he totally could be a character right out of that movie!
when you visit melbourne you go to chapel st, but melbourne is all about the city maze, alleyways and hidden obscure bars, come back! you havent taken enough pictures!
he looks so dapper, i wish my grandfather looked like this ;)
This man looks very italian, i love what he is wearing and the red just gives it that extra kick!
Toutes les photos de ce blog sont MAGNIFIQUES j'ai un gros coup de coeur pour the sartorialist ! bravo :)
Vous nous faites rêver !!
sart, is that all you got for melbourne?
maybe because i grew up there, much more fascinated with your NY or european pictures.
forgive me for saying it, but australia on the whole, is just NY or europe with a one or two year delay.
Okay, but the jacket is too short. It needs to be longer and come down the leg more.
i'd like to meet this man.. and his suit jacket
Looks like a picture from the old Mafia Guys in New York - Good Eye -
My whole family was thrilled to see Emanuel Dakis on your site. He first came to our attention when my father tore the leg of his finest suit on a sharp fixture at the office.
He was aghast, but rather than dump the now unwearable suit, my mother decided to look for another solution and discovered Emanuel – an expert in ‘invisible mending’.
After Emanuel waved his wand over the trousers, the ignominious tear, once a pain to the eye, had vanished, and dad’s fine wool suit was 'as new' once again. Emanuel’s skill undoubtedly second to none.
"Old-man" style rules. Period.
SCOTT your photos are defnitely greeeeeat !!!!
For those reading that are Melburnians.... does anyone else have a sneaking suspicion that this is the great "as seen on TV" furniture-retailer of the 80s, Franco Cozzo?????
Ahh who else can pull off my grandmother's wallpaper so well? Can he be my Australian grandpappy please?
For Anonymous,
Would Franco Cozzo be seen outside of "Northe Melbourne ande Footerscay"? Is South Yarra his style?
Cheers, Polomint
He look like my grand father,,, He is very handsome
hi thx veru much for publish this.
