Vintage on The Sartorialist

[Mr. Rover]

I love this look! I would get the pants a tad lower, just to cover the socks. Top it with a taupe or brown fedora, and it's finished.

i think there's two problems here; the trousers are too short as you say, and the way the waistband of the jacket hits the front of the trousers looks a bit odd. i like the shoes. and it would be VERY howard hughes with a fedora.

This vintage look is pretty fun, too:
Bike-man!

Yes that bike-man style is pretty cool.

haha you get the sweater, I'll grab the cap and pants!

 

[Baron Kurtz]

hmm, yes. The Sartorialist had a far superior bike man a number of months ago. he was wearing plus fours, leather brogues, and a big old wooly jumper. Far more stylish than that trendyboy.

I cleaned this up a bit. Hopefully now everyone can see the images.

I really like that "1929" sweater. I wonder if they come in different years? I'd like a 1933.

Hear hear. I would unbutton the collar button (or slap a tie on), shove the plastic bag somewhere off camera, and get rid of that awful pursy-lipped face.
Then again, maybe he just scored his month's supply of SweeTarts at Duane Reade's...

Just be careful. He might like it.

Oddly enough, I think that bike man was the same guy (hence the headline "Vintage Bike Man is Back").

If you look back in his archives from 4/1/06-4/30/06, it contains the first photograph of this character.

 

[herringbonekid]

yeah, it's the same guy.
the trousers let him down a bit this time, but i like the jumper.

I think one would be easy to make. Do you really think his is vintage?

 

[Baron Kurtz]

ahh, i didn't look at the actual page, just the pic Ghos7(?) posted.

yeah, i like the jumper too.

Do you really think his is vintage?

definately. the depth of the waist ribbing and the cross-over V neck say it's an original. they looked pretty much the same all through the 30s. i presume the dates were the year of graduation. i've seen quite a few with various years on.
