post a commentreally quite cool
You know, of all the pictures posted from the lawn party, this is my favorite. Even though it is the least jazz-age, I think it is a modern take, and the period elements are rather suggested than presented. The t-shirt is accessorized with the handkerchief, the slight flare of the pants, the argyle socks, and the shoes- from the photographs I have seen, this type of boot was what folks wore rather than fancy footwear. I believe we tend to over-glamourize the past. If we looked up our ancestors from these years, and realized how much they made and the lifestyle they led, many (most of) us would be humbled bu the hard lives they lived and how simply they dressed. We are not all descendants from fancy, silk-wearing people. Jorge from West Palm Beach
Placing this guy in front of the car was genius! His tats, cap, scruffy face and otherwise tough exterior suggest "greaser" (tho I know this is about 20-30 years before that era) For me, this look is all about the blue scarf and tipped cap (and of course the full sleeves of ink) Otherwise, the shirt, trousers and shoes are timeless and comfortably simple

I MUST move to New York...
Oh goodness, is he beautiful or what?
To me this is an example of what you refer to as an inspiration shot. It reminded me of a post you made last July http://bp3.blogger.com/_qjpwnPW4c1o/RpYakIsDZlI/AAAAAAAABl0/Gr6ubUjgf2E/s1600-h/image.jpg
because the look is at once very period and yet very forward. There is an assured, masculine simplicity while still being very put together.
I hope this doesn't become about his tattoos.

normally i don't like tattoos very much, but on this guy they look so good! they make the whole look more interesting because of the contrast to the neat clothes.
love the combo of old fashioned elegance (beautiful car in the background... ^^) and the rough tattoos and stubble. Looks "authentic" in a way...
Wow! Awesome look. Normally I don't like tats, but this guy has got some style. Love the shoes and the sox! I love the hat and the tie around the neck. Basically, I am just all over in love with this man. Marry me. Bring your wardrobe. We'll live together forever.
love it. the car in the background adds so much to the photo. makes me think of an off-duty sailor (who else had tattoos in that era apart from carnies?) - a wonderfully proletarian take on the theme of the party.
I am quite fond of this style of costuming (isn't that what this party was about) because it is so relaxed and natural looking. He looks like an extra from a Jean-Pierre Jeunet film. Add some sepia and airbrush out the machine hem of his trousers and he could be from 1922. Apart from the Geiger-esque tattoo on the left arm.
This guy's entire look is cool. The car and old Gov's Island building behind him only add to it. Great series of photos, Sart.
great shot! does anyone know where to get the shoes or anything alike!?
Wow. Wow. Wow. Brilliant.
No offence, but why do all the men look almost exactly the same?
Ah, more roses :o) They 'somehow' contrast with the car...
I really like commenter Jorge's take on this photo. Very intelligent.
vintage contemporary. so sexy. it's simply a beautiful shot!
rock-baker dude look
The socks are the perfect topping.
Very good post Jorge! You are right on spot.
This is a fabulous pic of a fab looking guy! What style!
Absolutely breathtaking picture. The contrast of his tattoo's and the clothes is amazing.
now THAT is a good look.
even though it's completely out of period with the jazz age, I think it is a great mix!
What a beautiful, dreamy multi-layed shot. Wow, the stories one could write based on this photo.
Oh, and did I mention how hot this guy is??? I've never seen anyone rock a cap and neckerchief like this.
oh dear! he's adorable. Love his outfit..
what a babe. i want to sit on that curb with him and eat ice cream.
nothing is sexier than ironic juxtaposition. what. a. babe.
Holy cow. He is gorgeous. The tatts and the outfit together--completely delicious. Wow.
I really don't like this. He is wearing a white tee-shirt with a pair of khakis. Big deal. And the tattoos are so passe. This look is a dime a dozen if you ask me.
Again, the t-shirt is not correct for the period: wasn't produced until the 1940's and was only worn as underwear until the 1950's. Apart from the cap, I can't really see anything that suggests the '20's in this chap's outfit.
josh! ladies, how can you resist?
who would have thought the tattoos can go so swimmingly well with classy?!
so great...the contrast of the outfit against the tattoos. and his smirk...amazing.
yum.
This is seriously amazing. I think I want to marry this man.
Anyone know what kind of boots those are??? I love those!
I am tired of the ink sleeves. Without them, the outfit looks cool and cute. Especially hat-shoes combination stylish.
wow...I didn't even notice the car until someone mentioned it. He stole the show. There is something very attractive about this man.
Very stylish. One of the best dressed guys on the island.
I'd guess, just from looking at the way the boot creases, that this shoe is manufactured from horse butt, aka Shell cordovan. This boot kicks much ass. If they were found in a bucket somewhere, good on him, I say. If they were found on a retail shelf I need to know where.
He works at Melissa's store on 12th between 3rd and 4th. No airs, knows his vintage clothes inside and out. Great guy.
This made my day.
love his tattoos!
Scott Weiland?
So happy I checked in... love the lawn party.
aw man, this is kick ass.
Who said tatted sleeves are a dime a dozen? Hardly. Maybe butterfly ankle tattoos but definitely not sleeves. The scarf it was really made this special for me. He's mixing so many styles so well.
I just love it. From the shoes to the trousers to the tattoos, the scarf and the cap. And his look...wow.
like his boots! is that paul smith? does anyone know?
classy-somehow. tattoos and style: fine line distinctions but he makes it work
i was there and this guy was the coolest. his trousers were absolutely perfect. what i wanted to know is do these cats dress like this 24/7 or is it back into a suit on monday..?
I'd hit that!
Gee whiz! Everything in this photo is just perfect.
wow, fabulous pic!
This picture could of come from another decade or even century and thats what makes it a timeless photograph, Thanks for sharing.

i'm in love. great photo of lovely styling.
Incredible.
I might be in love with this tattooed little news-boy look-alike.
Biggest dreamboat award.
I'm only jealous of the people who went to this party. Where are-straight-fashion, savvy tatty boys in the midwest? I anxiously await the response!!! Or a visit from this doll!
that's my boyfriend! he really IS the dreamiest!
