Now this is wonderful. Easily reminds me of the Hasidic Gentleman Scott shot awhile back, who also tipped his hat, covering his eyes, before the shot.
I'm very excited to see more vintage photos!
I like the lines in the photo from the old time:)
I love everything about this picture!

http://juliphotodiary.blogspot.com/
i really enjoy these old photos where people are being silly. most old imagery portrays everyone as so very austere or only with a polite smile.
thanks for sharing! this is great.

No wander from where your natural elegant style, come from !!

I love his outfit and his attitude. Awesome photo. Post more of him if you have them.
fashion really is a big cycle, isnt it? :)
This picture is so full of life and laughter! Love it too much! x
Love the hat! And all the outfit is like it has it's own character...
Look up while not busy:
http://halfapencil.blogspot.com/
Amazing, it's so vibrant, and full of uniqueness, the black and white just shows how it is portrayed as a design of style.
I want this ensemble for myself.
Truly excellent! And I guess he could still wear this (maybe lose the cane)!
What a wonderful photo!
XOXO,
Bella <3

So fashionable!! Love this picture!
Pretty!!
Wow. Without the text under the pic I would not have thought this is an old pic. I mean he looks so modern even thought I can see the old twist too.
And it's amazing photo!

This is wonderful!
The dude abides. A hat cocked at a rakish angle, a jacket and tie; were the only way to walk out your front door for past generations. My dad (B.1899-D.1971) wore a suit, albeit an old one, to mow the lawn.
Commenters to your blog regularly complement the more elegantly dressed; are they indicators of a return to a more formal fashion sensibility?
nice photo
Thats a lovely picture :)
What a fab picture, love it! :)

Amazing picture!! I love your blog, it's my favorite!!
Whoa! That is so rad. I love his cuffs!
That grin under the hat is a killer! Love it!
Pretty sure this was snapped very close to the time of the war. Londan endured nightly bombings. All of Europe was in great distress. Fabric, socks, shoes, hats in and of theirselves were scarce luxuries, as all went to the war effort. So to dress with such great panache with what was at hand involved enormous inventive style. Your uncle does you proud, from the jaunty slant of his hat, the casual placement of the scarf, to his rolled up pants and rolled down socks. And that rakish smile. Just Wonderful!
awesome shot, and so different from the usual somber shots typical of older photos. i can see where you got your inspiration from!
This is what danger looks like . . . I am in love!
I love vintage! These photo's are AWESOME!

yay vintage photos are back

Fantastic
Beautiful.

Remember that trend you were tracking last year with the rolled formal or dressy trouser? Has EVERYTHING been done? Just saw the Bill Cunningham documentary & enjoyed it immensely! I love how he used to call designers on their efforts to conceal appropriated looks on the runway!
http://inherentstylela.blogspot.com/
So authentic! so real love you!!!
www.shervinsworld.com
That's so adorable!
Scott could you please, please tag all your vintage photos? They're so inspiring but I've been trawling through the archives and can't find any of the ones from last time!
Cette photo est très touchante. Je ne sais pas pourquoi, elle m'a fait penser à Jules et Jim. Peut être le coté nonchalant :)
oh this photo is beautiful.
Swag of the 1940s. Haha what a lovely photo.
http://chronicut.blogspot.com
who took this photo? r u curious?
love it! :)
I "over like" the scarf with dots, so stylish !!!
xoxo from a "chasseuse de styles" in Brussels.

He looks excellent. it is so nice to know that your great uncle had a feeling for masculine elegance too.
Wow.. Very nice! Love the attitude.
Style runs in the familly !

i like that
Good picture,memorizing 1940's.
fab!!!!
amazing! so charming!
So incredibly fabulous!
I have no idea what's going on with those pants, Michael Kors would faint, but it takes attitude to pull it off.
Very very cool. Not that far off the mark for now.
I love this pictureeeeeee and the style! it's FANTASTIC!!!!
Besossss from Barcelona!!!!

I'm always fascinated by today's modern style but I am always impressed by fashion history...
Crush worthy.
This may be my favorite photo ever on this blog. I am seriously in love with dotted scarf and would really love to know its color. I'm guessing a faded red. The park-like setting is also poetic and evocative. Just delightful!
like the movie of Francois Truffaut "Jules et Jim"!!! :)))
http://michelmercuryartbeauty.blogspot.com/
somehow this image does not feel too old.. must have been the best camera of the time
Love how "unposed" his pose seems, his natural charisma shines through without him trying to be anything but himself.
Timeless. Lovely photograph.
Ah....and notice the length of his coat sleeves :) The thought I had immediately upon seeing this shot is, how wonderful the relationship between the photographer and your uncle, because this picture is so natural and expressive. I absolutely love the glimpse of ankles! Thank you for sharing this photo. It's obvious talent runs in the family.
F A B U L O U S!!!
I wish i knew him.
What a character!
Lovely dapper style! Did you see the female version inspired by this picture? http://weathertowear.com/NY/?p=320
Era o tempo do glamour...
Bonito!!!!!
Excelente ideia,esta,das fotografias .
There is so much personality in this photo! I love how much character there is in the outfit and stance.
What a cutie. The outfit is good too.
Great look! Like a character out of 1940's musical! What a wonderful style this gent had.
Very nice photo!
I see some of this rascally influence in the post above with the scarf and the vest and the rolled up trousers.
great :)
That picture and all its attitude is worth a thousand words and belongs in a museum of all things just so totally hip...!!
Uncle Rascal, indeed! Great photo!!
Love this! What a wonderful character... Thanks for sharing.
I love men with rolled trowsers! They look funny and elegant simply beccasse they don't seam to' care much
Tuoni of when a very elegant men riding a bike with botto part of tessere rolled up. Just tornelle and elegant in furor simplicity.
But pelasse...no short socks, betel nothing!!
funny way to wear the hat, like hiding from the photographer
That rascal is the cutest! Love the cock of his head and the eye-obscuring hat.
So fancy androgyny. Love it!
Good man! Dapper & Preppy style!
