Excitement For Winter: Gloves To Replace Handkerchief

What makes winter so special apart from being able to experiment with layers of conventional and unconventional style? Gloves in the breast pocket!

Having a look at Scott Schuman's February Milano photo's I came across a man he shot wearing a peacoat with a scarf that hid every layer worn underneath, then in his breast pocket was not a pocket square, but his leather Gloves! After some more digging of photos in the past, I came across The Sartorialist doing the very same thing! So simple, yet so exciting! Just another way to convey the timelessness of Gentlemen's fashion!

Meeting The Sartorialist At His Book Signing In Sydney 2009

Here you have it: The Male Umbrella meets The Sartorialist!

What an experience! Had a awesome chat with Scott, mainly about my cravat and his pocket square, which is exactly how it should have been!

The book signing was from 6-9, I arrived a little before 6 and watched the lines grow and grow all the way down the block in Paddington. On the way out the sky was dark as there was a storm brewing, the final shot below is a sneaky shot I took from my car driving off with my freshly signed book and the memory of meeting Scott Schuman!
