Alex!
Heyyo- Outdoor shots!
All of these look sweet.
Wes. Killin’ it. Love the layering
Definitely Wes. Sorry dudes. It’s probably down to me being a student that I can imagine hussling that outfit myself. Well played all round though.
Was in NYC this december – one night I got back from a bar in soho, jumped on instagram and realised I had just missed you guys bar hopping in the same district. haha. Would love to meet you all! Happy new year.
Dan stays killin’ it like usual but I have to go with Alex on this one. The sweater, cuffed selvedge, and boots are just too crispy.
I can’t quit staring at Dan’s jacket though.. Those orange accents mane!
im voting for dan for having the balls to pop his collar to keep his scarf warm…haha ;)
Dan.
I have to go with Alex for the jacket and sweater, close to my personal style.Alex that sweater kills where’s it from? Dan is a close second but it’s hard for me to wear that to a warehouse job and stay fresh.
Dan wins this with Townsend coming in second for still killin it on vacation.
Wes gets my vote on this round. Real fresh, dude!
thanks homie!
Wes wins this one hands down. I understand the utility, but the popped collar on Dan’s photo does seem a little too purposeful. The elbow patches present the orange well enough to not need more accent. Good showing from everyone though.
Dan may have popped the collar because it was cold.
Dan has my vote.
Too sick- reminds me of when we talked about the elbow/nape matching jacket detail over a year ago! Killed it on that design man and fantastic outfit overall.
Secondarily, The battle of the peacoats: Alex wins up top, Wes overall- Lol. If that makes sense… Both are staying pretty fresh here- what material is the coat Alex and any more detail on the sweater?
Go Knicks! But I’m gonna have to go with Dan on this one, that jacket is too sick.
Good effort from all here, but I have to go with Alex again – I’d wear that outfit for sure. I don’t like the whole ‘expose your melton’ thing, but horses for courses.
Thanks for the vote Alan! What does “expose your melton” mean?
By melton I was referring to the back of the jacket collar – as Dan chooses to expose in today’s edition. I appreciate that it is a practical thing to do, but I have heard a couple of people react negatively to people doing this and although I’m a live and let live guy for the most part, I think I share their suspiscion a little bit: it can come across as a bit try-hard. That said, suggesting Mr Trepanier can come off as a bit try-hard at at times is a bit like criticising 101 Dalmatians for having a lot of dogs in it. Peace! :-)
Hahaha.
I’m a live and let live guy, until someone I’ve never met tries to stay warm while wearing a tailored jacket, than I have to call them out by referencing other peoples’ suspicions in the most cleverly obscure manner possible.
Thanks for reading Alan. Keep “letting live”.
Dan, don’t be a dick to Alan, he’s on my team.
I was just kidding, coach.
Hi Dan,
Difficult to know how to react to this one….
I appreciate being called clever, and it was not my intention to needle you (if that is what has happened). Ultimately Dan, a lot of this style game we both play in our different ways is about communicating with people we will never meet. And this is the life you chose, you’re putting yourself up to the public vote! I stated that it was a good effort from all, so that includes you.
There’s lots that could be discussed here regarding style, ‘trying too hard’, hipsterism and such – I think other people have said things in comments which hint at this. But it’s probably a bit philosophical, and possibly emotionally charged, for a Friday. Bonne weekend!
I was just playing. We’re a lot more easy-going round here than most people assume, it seems.
A appreciate all of your comments Alan…and I’ve certainly heard much worse.
All the best to you.
I used to think it looked like one was trying hard until I moved to NYC from Texas. After that winter, I got it when it got cold and windy.
Gotta be Wes…cool detailing on the coat and the shoes rock!
Giving it to Dan this time.
Nice jacket and glove.
Nice to see the beard trimmed and a fresh haircut – styled with some glasses.
DAN
Dan. Trimmer beard helps too. Is that a MAB blazer?
Agreed, the beard really helps! I KNEW there was something that gave Dan the advantage this time… That beard is going through its own style transformation this winter.
Gotta give it to Dan. Wes close second in spite of the beanie!
But all great looks today.
I’m giving it to Dan that jacket is next level.
Dan.
P.S – What’s the score? I think you need to make standings ;)
Dan, but Wes is more how I would like to dress.
Dan. Hands down.
Wes!
gotta go with Alex, those boots are just too cool
For real. Those boots are super fly!
Haha, Dan is basically saying today – “come children, lets yeah you how to dress”
Dan with a resounding yea
Dan.
Wes, you’re killin’ me. You had me in your corner the first 3-4 rounds! It was the beanie this time.
Dan.
Dan, he blew you basic b*tches out the water
Wes
Dann wins! That’s definitely an outfit I’d wear.
first time my vote goes to…Dan!
Wes, Dan close second. Wes’s boots are awesome and denim jacket layering is always really cool. Dan’s jacket is really dope though.
Has to be Dan, looking pretty slick as always.
Dan!
Which shoes are you wearing?
Thanks. They’re suede chukkas by Massimo Dutti. Cheers.
All of you look good, but that green jacket is awesome. Dan wins.
Also, how’s the quality on these chukkas?
town!!
I like Alex’s coat, but I’ve got to give it to Wes.
I appreciate what Wes is doing with the pom beanie, big fan of those mixed in with classic menswear staples.
Dan most definitely
Dan, easily. Wes comes in second.
We, followed closely by Dan
Wes
gotta give it to dan. but what are the jeans wes is wearing?? they’re perfect.
they are J.Crew jeans in the 484 fit, I LOVE them.
Dan!!! With Alex and Wes tied for second
Dan, love that tailoring
