post a commentLove the older guy, the younger ones a little sloppy with the belt and not sure about the fingers. x
As long as he keeps the same glasses, then yes!
R xo
It's Cohen
nice caption! very apropos
Likely...
http://www.unabashedlyprep.com
Ha ha! That's awesome, Sartorialist time travel!
tweet tweet tweet
x
yes
Yes!
haha! yes it would.
love it!
I love these suits. They are gorgeous!
www.FashionSnag.com
Probably...
YES...i could totally see it!
Highly Unlikely; the suit does not make the man.
Both are awfully stylish.
ps. then will have evidence that maybe manner & grace can be learnt... ha!
definitely! both have cool style.
http://wewantandweneed.blogspot.com/
I can totally see Guy 1 become Guy 2 in the future and, yes, I agree, it would be great.
Love the gentlemen on the bottom. He's in my top three of your repeat subjects. Always looks so clean and precise, yet totally comfortable.
The roll of the older gentleman's collar is beautiful, as is is two-toned handkerchief.
Pif? PIF? Are you fucking illiterate?
only if he kept the same specs from his younger days!
Japanese do it better..
Interesting!

top dude would defo qualify for a vice mag 'don't' photo
he's trying way too hard
the.thearchblog.com
Love the plaid suits!
Let's grow up later
They could be son and father...
do you mean wouldn't it be great if this guy grew up to be this guy?
Is he doing the RAWK OUT sign?
cool glasses :)
IF YOU LIKE ART --->
http://johannaurban.blogspot.com/
I love the older guy's look, it is understated and yet elegant. Elegant!
Both have impeccable suits. The older gentleman indeed seems to have a more relaxed take on his look and a greater sense of colour-coordination!
I like both, though!
http://davidikus.blogspot.com/
first!
yes!
oh! i love this set... it's like a fashion maturity evolution
I suspect he might! Wow, both amazing. Of course the second one wins- but only due to experience!
xo
hahaha definitely would be great
Hail the japanese!! They are leaps ahead when it comes to fabric innovation, unique cuts and fabric dying!!
WE SPY WITH MY LITTLE i
double pocket square win!
yes.
love the tie and pocket square color coordination on the second man. very classy.
Fantastic use of patterns and color. I adore the pocket squares and simple tie on the older gentleman. The young man has a classic use of gray and black, especially with those glasses! A note of criticism: the young man needs a shorter belt, and I'm glad his future self learned that important lesson. The extra slack is distracting, a touch gratuitous, and even a little disturbing.
Oh ya! Brilliant
Rest assured that it won't happen.
I love the older guy, very distinguished and elegant (specially the handkerchief in the front pocket); the young man is a little sloppy, that belt is definitely in the wrong place, but I love the colors anyway...
hahaha...love how corky the first guy is... i dont think he can grew into the refined older man...he will get bored with himself...lol
but i love the post!!
http://donotshoeme.blogspot.com/
both look good.
yes ... i think you're right. and isn't it amazing what a little maturity will do? sometimes being older IS being better!
Yes, the title should be "Wouldn't It Be Great." As it's written it means that it would not be great if the younger man grew up to be like the older man.
Still, I love the Sartorialist.
the second man is the result of having gotten rid of the excess of the first. he's learned that simplicity and subtlety trumps loud and bold. not to take anything away from the first guy though...i am sure the second man probably once dressed like the first and that it was necessary in his eventual progression.
The young guy has to do something about that belt. Also I think the shirt is a bit hideous. It looks like the "Structure" brand Sears sells. A bit too "guido". Pale blue would have suited him better. Also the facial hair is well... Yeah...
yes, that would be great!! <3
super !
http://fotoromanzo.menstyle.it/
They're both rather cool as is but when baby-boy grows into Papa-san, he'll be a force to reackon with.
Because they are both Asian men in plaid suits? That is where the similarities end. So, no. And I hope you understand that it is offensive to play the "all (insert minority group) look alike" card.
I think that The Sartoralist is not getting this one. Two different breeds of gentleman.
The man below has "charme" (don't know how to say in English, sorry) The boy in the first picture is only trying to be modern
love your work :).
I like the relaxed drape of the shirt collar on Man #2. Maybe I'll try leaving out my collar stays.
Agree w/Celine and Casey. The young guy has a long way to go before even coming close to the mature gentleman.
Well, made me laugh!
And...a subtle point is made. Keep up the good work.
Cheers,
Caesar
Editor of
people, you do know that someone can change through time? we all have had phases... why makes you think that young boy is not going to be as distinguished at the older gentleman once he reaches that age?
anyway, Sartorialist, this post made me giggle because of its premise, there should be a whole series of these
So hilarious but i love it
Http://cocozaahb.com
Ha ha ,love the title and agree with anonymous that said that second gentleman is result of of experience and blah blah and probably looked like first one in younger years when fashion should be fun and daring!
Not sure, but possible, yes...
I like the idea of this post .
Not bad but the English do this sooo much better!
Yes, it would!!
Excellent! That would indeed be great.
love how the personalities and color palettes (blue/grey and bown/orange) are juxtaposed! Though the two men seem quite different, there are definitely some similarities there...
Well the man in the second picture... I ignore his name but everytime I see him I wish I was somehow related to him. He's so classy, his clothes always fit so correctly, he looks just out of this world. I like the first guy's outfit a lot, I'd wear that suit but without the huge glasses and the sloppy belt (which look good on him but would look stupid on me). I think I am in the age group between these two guys...
Hilarious! Couldn't agree more...
I hope he grows up to be himself. Keep the cheeky attitude!
very benjamin buttoned down ,,,groovy
Hahaha, I'm curious about how the older looks when he was young
LOVE THE COMPARISSON!
Great style both of them!
Im not sure it would to be honest. The older guy seems to trying quite effortlessly to be himself wheras they younger one looks like he's been in his dads wardrobe. Nice suit doesn't equal well dressed. Lets not let that distract from the older guy though who's got it bang on.
i love this idea of comparing generations.
well not really comparing but thought-provoking
He he he. Brilliant...
hahahahaha
Not sure about what the "horns" gesture means to Japanese people. In Italy (and the backdrop looks like Fortezza da Basso in Florence) it has a definite meaning, and it is quite inappropriate. The fellow could definitely get punched if he does it again.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
http://lucasjonesart.blogpsot.com
What a match! I love the shirt/tie/suit combo on the first pic!
Oh, the older gentleman is so elegant but the young man simple doesn't "fit" his suit.
He probably thinks that gesture is cool in an American/rock and roll sort of way. In Italy, where I suspect the photo was taken, it's a sign of the cuckold as in, "your spouse is cheating on you". Also, a gypsy woman might use it to ward off the evil eye if you were to point a camera at her. Together with his dangling belt strap, his attitude is vulgar.
I love the twin handkerchiefs in the older guys breast pocket - very stylish.
Well I don't go a bundle on number one, but I think *anyone* could benefit from (their own version of) the colour sense of number two. It's quite beautiful and immensely subtle.
that is SO FUNNY!!!
they do have great taste in the ability to wear plaid suits!

I wouldn't be surprised if it actually happened :)
xx
Lovely!
Grow up, indeed.
sometimes the most presence comes without all of the loud and garish bells and whoohaas.
*sP
Love both men. I like the first guy because he looks so polished but doesn't take himself too seriously. The other gentlemen knows who is and looks so self assured.
i had to look at this again. i believe that the expression is, one should never look as a parody of self. sadly, the first guy just made that happen.
If with authenticity, then yes..
I've seen the older gentleman around before. His style is always impeccable.

Hysterical! They both have great fashion, one merely cultivated for longer. Love both photos.

http://unsystematicstyle.blogspot.com/
exactly. the older man looks better, though. the younger one doesn't rock the suit well enough ;)
fashion atelier.
The first guy is game to be doing that hand gesture in Italy
The older guy is definitely more graceful. I laughed heartily at the caption!
I absolutely love this.
yes, but for the moment he is great as he is! With time and experience, he will become the older gentleman. I love the way he expresses his youth, its simply cute:)
as long as he keeps the same glasses as his "younger" photo! xoxo
Racist...just a joke...killer shot
So funny! Love your blog, I'm a regular now!
he looks like Benny Blanco from Carlito's way . cool !
Haha. I really love the comparison of this one. Their suits look very nice.
omg !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this old men is sooo stylish , wooooow !!
CHUCK BASS!!
I'm with organicbloom's comment - would like to see you do one of these same posts but featuring 2 caucasian men or women to satisfy us that you're not just lumping asians together in a 'they all look alike' box...
Haha, love this story.
http://izzenxoxo.blogspot.com/
Yes.
The younger man has a great sense of himself and is not afraid to let "it hang out" sometimes (the belt). His styling is crisp, in spit eof the belt buckle. The older man looks as if he has seen it all and is comfortable in his own skin, he has a great sense of self also, well cultivated. I wonder about his choice of music, wine and watch (an old Piaget or Rolex)? Great pictures nonetheless, Sart.
you people don't get it... the young man is having fun!
the older man is elegant and impeccable.
they both have style.
Thet are both stylish in their own way but I don't get the meaning of the gesture of the fingers on the younger one...Never did!
hahahaha!!! That is amazing :] idk if i was the only one who found it funny...but very awesome!! :]
Hands down, my favorite post of the year! I love both of these men, especially the older man, who reminds me of my grandfather with his style and grace. Awesome!

Those glasses are insane on the younger guy.

Pitti Uomo?? I think I saw the older one! so adorable!
love love love your sense
humour!
congratulations to you, Mister
sartorialist's author/blogger
Laura.
I would love to see him older as quirky as he is!
this is imminent. I love the older gentlemen's pocket square. the colors pick up in his tie and suit beautifully.
here's to hoping that he does.......It would be great to see if he tones down his look but kept some surprises like the belt hanging down,and the glasses within his outfits
http://spectrachics.onsugar.com/
Genial, que elegante.
I love the first pic! He embodies the idea that beneath the sensible exterior, we are all alive with contradictions underneath.
Why shall we grow up, does it make us better...not sure :)
BTW I love them both...

younger man very interesting combination:))
I love both pictures. Great sense of style in both. Interesting question you ask... hope we get to see a picture of the younger guy 20 or 30 years from now to give us a hint of what the answer is :)
J
BIG UP Mr.Kogi from LWT.
the second guy is so classic, elderly nihonjin. rock on.
look at august 2009. same older man. same good taste.
haha why should he - they both look great and have their own style/look/attitude...
I love seeing this virtual evolution!
to put it simply: I love this post.
fantasticals! made me grin
Mr,Akamine
Nice photo!
He is one of the most famous Japanese fashion leader.
I love that glasses!!!!!
