“Indigo with terra sienna, Prussian blue with burnt sienna, really give much deeper tones than pure black itself. When I hear people say ‘there is no black in nature’, I sometimes think, ‘There is no real black in colors either’. However, you must beware of falling into the error of thinking that the colorists do not use black, for of course as soon as an element of blue, red, or yellow is mixed with black, it becomes a gray, namely, a dark, reddish, yellowish, or bluish gray.”
(Letter to Theo van Gogh, June 1884)

yummmy :) I would LOVE to find myself in a bar with any of these ojisans (older men)

i like the last guy the best ... his buttons on the cuffs are nice and i love how he looks like his conversation on the phone can mean death to others.

Denim, Denim, Denim....These shots will definitely be on a designers mood board.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (7:30 AM) : 

Oooooh. The fit! The shirt, the jacket, they way they fit! The way the pants just hang a little. Perfect.

My husband has a linen suit this colour which is 16 years old, and is my favourite on him.It fits him like a glove. To me, fit is everything. Inexpensive clothing looks fine as long is it fits.

Loving the Tokyo shots, so fascinating to see how local culture really influences style to produce something quite differnt to the shots from Milano, Paris etc...

These chaps look so dapper.

I'm almost tempted to print the pictures and casually pepper them around my apartment in the hope my boyfriend will take note...

 

Blogger Nadine2point0 said ... (9:56 AM) : 

The first photo demonstrates how cool style doesn't age...and also shows me that when it doubt without time to iron, I can just smile and work it!

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (10:08 AM) : 

So, the 3rd man is Mr. Kurino!

Oh ... love the first photo (guy with a hat), esp. his watch! These pictures reminded me of Monocle - a stylish and intelligent magazine for the global-minded.

 

Anonymous Takeru said ... (10:39 AM) : 

Great pics and i love the style of the first guy.

 

Blogger Kathleen said ... (10:51 AM) : 

All the lush colors of blue shown in tonal and patterns.
How lovely everyone looks! Though each look is completely different, there is a continuity here that one cannot miss. I feel lifted and happy, the way one feels when they get their first whiff of Spring in the air. You've captured older and dignified, youthful attitude, and serious gone sassy and bold. Each man has chosen such an extremely personal way of expression through dress. You've got to love the all! Beautiful series of shots Scott. Thank you.

 

Blogger THICK AS THIEVES said ... (10:52 AM) : 

First man is amazingly well put together. Looks like he's having fun at an older age yet not veering into costumery. The smile looks like it comes from having a lifetime of good experiences.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (10:52 AM) : 

Love the mixtures of blues.

 

Blogger SabinePsynopsis said ... (11:07 AM) : 

The first look is so impressive. I didn't even know so many different blues existed... They way he put them together, combined with sharp tailoring - Love it!

Comment ne pas tomber amoureuse de la première photo? Cet homme est fantastique!

 

Blogger gem twin said ... (11:19 AM) : 

that does it--my next trip is back to Japan! They really have texture/hand/patina down as well as fit and style as opposed to fashion.

keep sending pix--thanks!!

 

Blogger opinion said ... (11:19 AM) : 

In Tokyo, I see these elderly men with the best sense of fashion and style, and am amazed at how they have a way of defining themselves based on personality, rather than age that the traditionally hierarchical system emphasizes.

Love the tie, hat, and smile on the first man.

That top photo is awesome. I love the texture of his vest. And who could not love his smile? Awesome.

Love the way the top and bottom photo mixes denim style (vest & shirt) with their classic suits...genius.

First: I love the rumpled elegance of his waistcoat. Also, I had no idea denim fedoras even existed, but it seems so natural now that I see it. :3

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (2:16 PM) : 

Wow, the third gentleman is pure understated ellegance. I love his look. The color of the buttons and the shape of the belt... I just wish we could be a little bit of watch in the picture to make it perfect.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (2:38 PM) : 

I love the last photo, the denim shirt with a beautiful blue suit. It relaxes it. And a brown belt! I love the cut of this suit, very narrow. He is sort of slouching in it which makes it all the better.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (2:53 PM) : 

what a smile!

 

Blogger Reflex said ... (3:04 PM) : 

The first gentleman is fantastic! I really like blue. I'm having to force myself to stop buying blue items, although I really would like a watch like that... Anyone know where I can get one?

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (7:03 PM) : 

Hmmm... I'm mystified by the general adoration of Mr. No. 1. He's working it hard, but I don't like a single thing he's wearing, especially the puffy pants and the vest, which looks like it would be good for going fishing.

 

Anonymous dodz said ... (8:00 PM) : 

nice party there tokyo.

 

Blogger Anu said ... (9:09 PM) : 

wow.

 

Blogger Unknown said ... (9:56 PM) : 

The second guy who is and what is he all about? I remember him from GQ and want to know more about him.

 

Blogger Broadway said ... (10:01 PM) : 

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the first guy, he is awesome. From the crisp blazer (+ handkerchief :)!!) over the distressed look of his vest, and his pants. To the nice silk tie, but my favorite part is his watch! how it matches with everything else it just makes him look so official and brings his whole outfit to perspective. I also love the fit, and his smile lol.

Love the third photo as well for the intense look he has on his face, I'm an actor and i saved this picture for reference. If ever I'm playing the villain in a movie or play and using a phone, I want to have that exact look on my face.

 

Blogger Kim Wolf said ... (10:35 PM) : 

This is great - my first suit jacket I ever bought was from a Tokyo second hand shop! It was dark blue and fit so well. I think dark blue can do so much - it refreshes the skin tone and brightens the eyes!

Blogger Criteriamour said ... (3:23 AM) : 

The second guy looks a lot like the Paul Kinsey character from Mad Men.

So I see blue is popular there :) All the guys look great!

On the first one, the vest and the pants, perfect, everything else just too much. On the third picture, the gentlemen is perfect, great belt.

Just goes to show you that the "smile" is one of the best fashion accessories!!

That first gentleman's smile is just sublime:)

Wow! Love those blues with his hair. Perfect colours, perfect cut for his frame...brilliant style!

PS I meant the third guy...

 

Anonymous Alexandre DO said ... (7:40 PM) : 

It is too bad that the folks wear suits like europeans,

with the unique tastes on colors of asians (especially RED) I'd have hoped that they would wear different colors combinations than us.

looks like navy is a wordwide color this year

Oh wow.

Blogger CW said ... (9:58 PM) : 

From bottom to top -

The gent talking on his mobile phone uses the texture of his knit tie and denim shirt (chambray? difficult to tell) to accent his business uniform.

The middle man is simply ungarnpatschkeh. The bow tie is too formal for the rest of his attire. The striped shirt would look good with the vest but clashes with the jacket. The vest itself would look alright with the jacket. In all, his look is clownish.

Lastly, the smiling man is the most interesting. He is making the most of modest pieces. The colors work. The classic blazer works with the rumpled pants and vest. The tie and shirt look like they came out of the businessman's closet. Finally, I am partial to that man's hat because it looks like the Weatherproof hat which I often wear.

The man in the top photo looks fan-freaking-tabulous. What confidence and what a great sense of style.

Hey There,

can anyone possibly tell me, where I can get a Tie like the man in the 2nd picture. A bowtie like this is, what I need for my next big dance.

Thanks

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (3:38 AM) : 

All three are great, but I keep coming back to the third one--something about the man's posture reminds me of mid-century Irving Penn photos...

how come nobody mentions about the watch strap of the guy on the top? everyone else already mentioned enough about his rest outfit, so I just wanna point out that little detail of blue and white on the watch strap gave me a smile ;-)
