On the Street....Out of Nowhere, Milano
This past week I was shooting an ad campaign in Milan. While I was searching for a location on a very quiet residential street near Parco Sempione, this man, a Sartorialist All-Star, just happened to pop up on his bike. This must have been fate because the street was so quiet.
I didn't have my regular camera, since I was riding around on the back of a Vespa. However Emanuele, one of the production staff, had his tiny point-and-shoot so I rattled off a few shots.
It has always been so random when I run into this gentleman and yet always quite inspiring. He's so sporty, chic and, of course, always with his bike.
When we got back to the trailer I told one of the other production people about seeing him again, and she's now convinced that he's my guardian angel!

post a commentA Sartorialist All-Star indeed!
But his sunglasses! They are perfection! All over-sized glasses suddenly and definitively passe.
He is so cool!
Beautiful!
Tremendous. Perfect jacket.

Exquisite Gentleman.
Detached and dandy
such a lovely story and what an amazing look he has! that perfectly white beard (the mustache shape!) and hair, those little glasses, the red shirt, faded jeans, loafers and bike! so perfect. he definitely has a sort of utterly chic santa/angel quality about him! x
He's so stylish. Love his moustache :)
My blog
If I can look half this good when I'm this gentleman's age, I will have reached Nirvana!
He looks great. I love his color combinations and the cut of his pants cuffs.
There is something extra admirable about looking so chic while you're on a bike; it makes your style seem even more natural and effortless.
You definitly like people on bikes.
Who knows, your gardian angel my be a biker!!!
Sacramento from Andalucía-
Spain
Francesco Maglia?
I cannot comment on his being your guardian angel or not, but I really like his choice of colours!
Thanks for sharing.
<a href="http://davidikus.blogspot.com/>http://davidikus.blogspot.com/</a>
Stylish Gentleman. Love his shoes and the length of his trousers :) His spectacles are cute too.
Definitely see why you call him a Sartorialist all-star. He has amazing sense of style...and I love his beard! Hehe.
Mustart x
He represents that wonderful Milan style I always think of when I look back to my long-ago trip to Milano in 1992. Everyone looked so effortlessly chic - an inspiration!
I think we in the comments have mentioned before how great a Sartorialist 'Style on Bikes' book would be ....
Perfection! piece of clothing is the perfect cut and color to compliment the whole. I particularly LOVE the tapered jeans and loafers.
love the pic!
what point and shoot did you use to take the shot?
This man looks far too much like Santa NOT to be. Every time he pops up in one of your shoots I end up smiling.
These old italian man have something magical. They're tradition and classicism and they looks always perfect.

http://shonwer.blogspot.com/
Italian style. Cool! I hope to look close to this when I get to his age!
Yeah!
Ernest Hemmingway, is that you??
Milan outfitters of all ages always have something to say, love them!
I really like his jacket and how he manages to wear his sunglasses.
http://subconchicness.blogspot.com/
i saw this gentelman the same day, he was wearing this outfit and actually riding his bike at porta ticinese. and i was very impressed about his looks and i admired his energy. you can tell from this look that he is a life lover.
Fabulous!!! XD
OMG!!!!Buffalo Bill has been reincarnated and gone to Milan !!
To me, what makes him so chic is the way he sits nonchalantly on his saddle and wears non-sport clothes to ride a bike and the perfection of his flawlessly white hair and the "old money-classic basics" quality of his shoes.
I can't help but wonder where he lives and what he does apart from riding his bike.
He is a perfection! Of course the bike is a must. I do hope he is your guardian angel and we get to see more of him in your random run-ins.
A trim Santa in stylish summer gear! He is gorgeous.
love his sunglasses
He is cool angel,alike Santa Claus...but no smile!!
Italian guys style is insane. I love the jacket and the shirt.
Good shot Sart.
windoshop78.blogspot.com
i love how perfect his beard is!just bought your book by the way.I love it!Everynight before I go to bed,I have a flick through it's pages.Perfect dream material if you ask me :)
fantastic shot...looks like a guardian angel...you are incredible
I love this look, the small sunglasses, the burly beard and mustache, the longish hair, as if to say, I'll do as I please. And then the effortless look of the tattersall shirt and the tan jacket with jeans. Do you need an extensive wardrobe to achieve this?
Good thing one of the production stuff had a camera! But then again, I'm sure if you took a picture with your phone it would still be a good one (or am I just being too optimistic, as usual? Could be :))
who wouldn't love the idea of a guardian angel and of course yours would have to be the most chic angel ever.
I thought he was Santa :)
soooo stylish and I hadn't to read the head-line to know that his Italian:)yeah,Italian style!
The (im)Perfect Harmony
Why oh why don't they make men like this in America -- and, more specifically, in Boston?!
THIS, folks, is a man.
What a handsome looking gentleman of a certain age.
Perfect! I wish I'd know somebody looking as good as this man is.
I wish I'd had so good sens of style:)
This is one of the reasons I just love Italy! The people are amazing! Fantastic ... and on a bike!
I love the little details like the glasses and the shoes!
www.bigorangetaxii.blogspot.com
SO interesting!!
http://cestclassique.blogspot.com/
OMG so so CUTE!
He must have his own category
"Guardian Angel" or 'Stylish Gentleman" so we can wee all of his photos together, please!
That is so cool Scott. I wonder if someday you will use your "friend" in a magazine shoot.
I can picture him riding his bike with a beautiful model on the handle bars, her head thrown back laughing, hair blowing & a long skirt flowing in the wind.
What do ya think?
Absolutely stunning man. So chic.
http://hayleygolightlystyle.blogspot.com/
Thats one cool man, I like his beard :) haha
i wish i could run into such style every day. from head to toe he is screaming it.
stoneandcloth.blogspot.com
Looks like my gramps
http://bigmouthvintage.com
he's so gorgeous.
I want to be his grandson lol
first time's an accident
second's a coincidence
thrice is a significance
he must be
But you are a guardian angel.... The true style guardian!!!
http://valentineavoh.blogspot.com/
I really love the mens' style that you have been posting for the last few days - tailored, effortless, clean.
I hope that I can learn at some point to translate what I love about menswear, into my own style, without seeming masculine, only stylish.
Thank you so much for the inspiration.
I love his style.
From his majestically grooved beard to his wonderful loafers.
LOVE
Dr Pagan
http://drpagan.blogspot.com/
WOULD LOVE TO SHARE A GLASS OF PERSECO WITH HIM AND HEAR HIS STORY....
XXOO
MELISSA
Love the fact that he's smoking a cigar - looks like he's enjoying life.
His hair and mustache are so perfect that's exactly how i want to look like when i get older
I live in this street!
His smiling mustache makes him seem so amicable, his well groomed style so intelligent... what a gentleman!
thanks for nice shot....
great looking and definitely wise fella, who is worth to know more and become friends with...
Sart, you have an eye to notice interesting people, - thanks again
He's perfection. He looks so effortlessly chic. Seeing him on the street would definately make my day!
He looks great, but a REAL gentlemen in town always wear SOCKS!!!!
monegasque@email.it
Oh why don't I ever see men like this? Instead I see sneakers, ill fitting tee shirts, overhanging bellies, and generally slovenly looking men everywhere. Sigh...take me to Italy, please!
He is the summer santa,,,,,, lol
http://www.nainai-fashion.com
Touch Class. ¡Perfect gentleman!
He looks good
I love him.
"I die"! Mamma mia. My absolute style pecadillo is a man with italian loafers and no sox. Does me in!
that's just a bonus in his case. i've missed his gougeousness on his bike and fabulous, impeccable...yet easy, natural style...similar to the "white knight in firenze... oops,I mean "heat" ;-)! again that killa' Italian DNA. DEar Sart and fellow Sarters, how 'bout we have fiction contest where we create fabulous stories around these Milanese style icons? I never ever tire of seeing them, and find myself fantisizing about their lives. I believe I read somewhere that this gentleman is overseeing the latest top secret Michaelangelo restoration at his lake house on Orto....his accoustic guitar rhapsodies melt the heart. He is very kind to anumals. Tonight he is dining with Miiucia and usual suuspects under the wisteria laden pergola at the family villa... Okey dokey..You talented writers, feel free to pipe in anytime here!
thanks Sart..like you, seeing "Mi angelina"
made my day!
annabella
He's great! (Grande!)
http://www.ilgattoselvatico.blogspot.com
I didn't know guardian angles rode up on bikes! Yikes!
it's so amazing to see him here AGAIN!!! he is incredible!
Wow! this is THE cool man! I love him better than that SUSPENDER-size-not-so-fit man!
ahahaha posh santa :D love him
I love him! The bike, the sporty chic look. A man on a bike always gets to me. x
www.FashionSnag.com
He personifies cool.
Maybe he really is your guardian angel. The fashion guardian angel. It would be so great if I were to meet him.
That's one of the reasons I love living in Milan: Everybody has a sense of fashion.
I mean where else would you find an older guy on a bike dressed like this?!
he looks like santa in daylight!
"...she's now convinced that he's my guardian angel!" He's not dead yet! Teeheeheeeeeee
Seriously though, the fit of his jeans is fantastic.
Looks effortlessly put together.
The color of jacket is wonderful. (Khaki with mustard overtones.) Have always liked this color. Wish there were a name for it.
If you cover his head/beard with your finger, he could be 30-something. Nice to see an older gentleman looking so fit and vibrant!
--jw
If Santa Claus were Italian...
Everything about him in this pic is fantastic! He is a magnificent bearded ray of sunshine!
love the facial hair! and nice shoes!
lovely little story,try and make friends with him the next time!
May I know how you shot a good picture like that with a point and shoot? (with the front in focus and the background a little blurred)
I've never liked shoes without socks. Fabulous pic and great clothes. (I thought you didn't post on Fridays, Saturdays...?)
I hope I get to see him when I visit Milan ...
I Love This Guy
I love him too!!
perfect post!
kisses
http://sweetsyte.blogspot.com/
Nice moustache
Just perfect!
He looks like he can sit next too you and talk to you all night long about women, philosophy etc. without becoming boring.
beautiful pic - aim for the moon and land among the stars
http://artbymeat.blogg.se
he's amazing! must be your guardian angel :)
He 's so natural
I love this. I especially love that his beard is groomed into perfection. This is kind of what I want to picture my dad as when he says he’s going out, but then I realize that it is a rare man who can look THAT spectacular in a mix of clothes that might be older than I am and new(er) + versatile pieces.
I L.O.V.E. this photo. Could look at it all day!!!
He looks so stylish and friendly, Love this shot :)
http://corinnas-atelier.blogspot.com
Happy o so very happy to see this pic! Growing up can be beautiful x I love a guy on a bike.
Shoes and sunglasses are the key. Great stilish man!
Perfection.
His mustache is magnificent and his beard is perfect!
Love that picture!
The guy is in a perfect adequation with his bicycle! Look the sunglasses and the light of the bike: same shape!
So stylish!
The gentleman, the bike, all look wonderful As per usual in your photos. But:
¿ Have you ever given a thought to photographing buildings as a sideline?
Because the big old wooden doors, the stones, the arches, even the metal tube structures of a certain corner of 10 th Ave NY, which is being rebuilt ,( a place I am partial to ), usually look magnificent when you show then as background in your images.
ageless style, pure confidence
I really love this blog. It's beautiful, elegant, perfect! Every man or woman in the pictures has his/her own style. That's amazing :)
Perfect:Camel+Pink+Denim+Brown
Impeccable style.
Great beard. I'm going to try and get mine like that.
I LOVE YOUR BLOG.
We follow you,
Xoxo, Sarai.
Lovely pictures!
kisses

Waow.
I had scrolled down a little too much when I first looked at the photo, and only saw it from the waist down.
I was actually convinced that it was a woman.
A very chic and stylish woman. I've been looking for shoes like this for months now, and I'm starting to think.. I might find them in the men's department!
This young gent is awesome! Love the tassel loafers that he often wears.
Ah, gli italiani!
I've had a pair of these shoes for a number of years and think they're fabulous. I bought them at Celine in Paris and don't wear them all that much because they are a teeny bit tight. On the sole it says they were made in Italy. I wonder who made them.
sporty chic is right. i love men who can pull of a pink shirt! perfect outfit combo for a sunday stroll
<33
heelsandinspiration.blogspot.com
My God! He's beautiful!
Santa Clause<3
good blog and pic
that is a fantastic look
this can only be found in Italy...perfect
I wish he was my dad
Wow! I wish that was my grandpa!
Sart... can you profile him next time?. I wonder his age? his ankles and hands aren't old enough to match the colour of his hair... I wonder where he rides to?... Does he have a beautiful family living in their ancestral home?. or did he love once and now rides simply to relive those days. Was he the Captain of a grand ship now living his retirement in the town he loves. I love that he's riding and smoking a cigar.. is riding really all about health!... :)
i cant even begin to tell you how much i enjoy seeing photos of "older than usual marketable age" people on your blog!! This guy is soo well dressed! I love people who embrace getting older.. in a society when everyone is doing all they can to stay young
I love Santa, too!
This shot is somewhat surreal! I mean, this monsieur's image is quite aliken somebody who doesn't belong anywhere, he's got this "nowhereman" look, cannot explain it better...
Like your co worker said, I also think he is a kind of guardian angel of all of us, fashion lovers! Marvelous rose shirt!!!
Great, great shot!
I like the fit of his jeans...
You have a very elegant guardian angel indeed! And his beard is so well groomed!
He reminds me of santa :D
That is such a happy coincidence! He really does have amazing style -- love his round sunglasses and white beard and hair! I can't stand it when men color their hair... white hair gives this gentleman such a personality! He looks like he should be a famous novelist or something else creative!
veri stylish
When I go to pick up my kids from school I short cut through a very quiet neighborhood, boring nothing special... you get my drift. And for some reason I always see, there, of all places very interestingly (dressed) looking people. I can never stop because I'm rushing, but maybe I should passing by a little earlier. You never know... As you've pointed out your self.
www.theconceptdresser.com
I Love men in loafers without socks!! So chic!!
Also loving the metal bangle resonating with the shades. And what appears to a perfectly flat stomach. Impressive!
Does anyone know what kind of bike the dude is riding?
This guy is a fresh lord
Aristocratic &sporting.It's the perfection of the classical combination of blue-white-red.In this case with the snow white beard.He has something special that goes further then a just classical/boring image of blue-white-red.
Perhaps an homage to Krzysztof Kiezlowski's trilogy "Bleu","Blanc","Rouge" and the revolutionary ideals of liberty,equality and fraternity.
it's the beard i tell ya. it has some sort of magical power or something...
FANTASTICO!
What a refreshing picture!
Well done Scott..
www.leeoliveira.com
he must be an amazing character. I'd love to chat with him some time.
I love how you keep running into him :)
Hot Dude~!
Love it~!
I've been trying on all different varieties of Levis endlessly trying to find a pair with a fit like that. Anyone have any reccomendations, levis or otherwise?
Genial!!!!
I don't think he's your Guardian Angel... I think this is what God looks like when he turns up to greet you - well dressed & eco-friendly. Fabulous beard & Lennon-esque sunnies. Class.
http://www.jamescooperstudio.com
he is your own Santa!!
This man has GREAT style. Love it.
Definitely Guardian Angel material there. And not just a Sartorialist all star but a beard and mustache all star as well!
He is amazing! I love him
I love this outfit. Very nice indeed.
He is FANTASTIC!
Love his clothes, yes, but really love his bike! Anyone able to identify it?
Cooler than cool; except for the shoes!
Yes indeed, he is quite cool for his age. He seems like a nice guy. I love his mustache.
Hahaha... even your guardian angel is chic. Can you imagine?
Fabulous! And how does he keep his beard looking so...perfect?
Perfect jeans, perfect shoes, great beard - which barber-shop does he go to?? - making a unique look. I LOVE THIS GUY!
just can't help but smile when i saw this photo. he looks so cool, i see him as a grampy who gives cool advices to his grandaughter about love, and life in general. gosh, im so dramatic. teehee. :))
And, he looks like Santa ;-)
lovely!!
Now, that's style!
Love the shoes!
Santa unplugged. Damn the reindeer, it's hot and they have to take a vacation too!
Love the (leather?) panniers.
such a handsome man. the beard looks lovely on him, but i'm so curious what he looks like without it. it'd be hard to shave that pretty work off, though.
Perfect. Love his jewelry and belt. Love the cut of his jeans and how they just slightly taper at the leg. He is well-groomed and alluring in a non-ostentatious way.
omg, its Santa!!!
The bike is a classic rod-brake roadster. Nearly identical ones are produced over the world. Eastman and Flying Pigeon brands from China are perhaps the easiest to obtain.
Google: flying pigeon, eastman roadster, rod brake roadster
How stylish! And such perfect beard!
Amazing style!
guardian angel... or he spends hours getting dressed every morning he knows you're in town, follows you to quiet streets, and then c a s u a l l y bikes past looking fantastic. hm??
So on point. His tassled loafers are brilliant (sans socks of course).
I want to stroke that beard!
I read your post, went out and saw him on his bike in Via Torino. And I could not take a photo!
sure it's not santa on vacay?
Is there no end to this guys coolness? He's smoking a cigar!
Pure Awesomeness
well groomed
He's just great!
i love the stash!
That guy is great. He is unique, which is rare.
one hot Lolo!! :D
This is great- I wore almost the exact same outfit yesterday- goes to show that fashion transcends ages and genders. Love it and love him!
Dandy. Fantastic!
I am one lucky gal. I was at the post office nearby where you took this photo just this morning, and all of a sudden, he was standing next to me. I recognized his loafers, and i just sort of looked up to see him. I couln't let it pass! So I looked at him and said "Do you know you're famous?" And he let out just a little chuckle and said "well, um, yes, kinda". So we ended up taking about The Sartorialist and the post. He is as much a gentleman in person as he is in style.
I'm still smiling.
Cool!!!
nice mustaches :-)
he's perfect. make me think he makes his life what he wants it to be.
I want to look like this guy when I'm an old man. What a Beard!
i feel very positively about this picture.
He looks so cool. It pleases me to see someone of that age still so into dressing smooth.
What a class act. I would love to meet this man!
this is a perfect example showing that a great photographer makes the best out of any camera he or she is given :)
this is exactly how i want to look when i'm 70
I love his look. It looks so familiar. Inventors and scientist in movies always have this look. Well the glasses and beard anyways.
This is my favourite photo of the week. This man's got it goin' on right down to his snowy well groomed beard. Love it!
This is fantastic! What a character.
