MISTER MORT: Leather

I like the way he mixed a workwear jacket under a vintage varsity jacket with Dickies

He bought this Alpha Industries coat about 20 yrs ago. It looks brand new.

Thy're doing the blankie thing...

Leather shorts!

One of the best looks I saw. Wide wale cords, tasseled loafers and that down hat!!

These down blazers were everywhere, I kinda want one. I like how John is wearing it. Not too dressy.

Terry Ellis

Love how casually they wear overcoats!

I do love this classic American look. A duffle (probably not Gloverall, wish it was), crew neck sweater over a turtleneck!

That coat is so boss!

This was the most impressive new collection I saw. m's braque, from Paris.

That's a silk tuxedo shirt.

This shirt was the 1s item to grab my attention. Reminds me of an old Nicole Miller tie or Moschino print..

Again, most Americans look costumey. Not Sean, simple DB, spread is a bit dressy, but hey, we are in Florence. I might not have hemmed the jeans, but that's me. All in all, it's perfect.

Dude from bstore again. If he was American this would'nt work as well. I dont mean to be so hard on our people, it's just that the shorter proportions tend to look not as natural. I could do because I'm not tall, but a real man size might have a harder time.

This is one of the 1st times I didnt mind long hair worn with a fedora.

Pitti Uomo FW12 ~ Firenze ~ Day One

The man. Angelo. Check his mismatched shoes. Type II Levi's under a leather bomber! Tweed trousers are pretty much Pitti's jeans. Lastly, a thumbs up at this hour is kinda fake, but not from Angelo, he's super stoked to be on his way into the stand he represents.

My favorite gal at Pitti. Head to toe Nigel Cabourn She wears menswear almost or as good as S.M.B. of Identical Eye

We already know the down vest is about normal over a sports coat, but this is a quilted overcoat. New to my eyes, and not entirely mad at it. Not sure about the pocketsquare in the breast pocket, typically reserved for gloves or glasses.. It kind of works. I love the hand picked stitching on the lapels and his polka doted scarf.

Love the tweed, camo & floral mix. You already know my zero tolerance for saggy beanies. & his necktie is a bit of a necklace but..

Thyre wearing sweaters as outerwear but thats besides the point. This is one beautiful (sweater) pattern. Side note: love that he's carrying a filson bag and see the cigarettes in pocket. lol. kinda not so manly and manly.

It's the jeans cut just a tad short that I love. Of course, red socks are always great. Especially when paired with jeans, a tee and a camel overcoat! Effortless..

The bottom button of his vest should be unbuttoned but otherwise he's kind killing it. Also wish his trouser cuff was a bit larger.

Took this one for you M.A.R., see how cool a beard can look, especially with a suit and bowtie! (you will soon be wearing one daily)

I mean, (Aaron is a friend, but let's not let that get in the way here, I don't post people the U.S. blogosphere loves just becuase thy're loved. I genuinely like the look here). Danners, camel overcoat, white shirt and jeans. The scarf is a nice touch adding color. I suck at touching up photos and don't really do it- I'm kind of trying, not sure if this was or not. (wish i could have gotten the toyotas true colors.

The fair isle tie with a denim shirt and plaid blazer works well. Oy, he had his pants tucked into his socks, so no, you can't see the full length.

Fascinated by this suit. It looks like a cotton shirting but its actually wool or a heavy cotton, moleskin or flannel like! Worn with a T wasnt a bad look. It was spring like weather this day.

The infamous Eddie Predergast of seminal british street/ tailoring label 'the duffer of st george', or maybe its now just duffer..Saw so many quilted jackets but this one I was really taken by. Looks so luxxx in wool. So many gems to post, I will try and give you more tomorrow.
