Regardless of the dubious points of this outfit one has to applaud the colour palette and the textures surely? The coat is cut extremely well and I enjoy the juxtaposition of the tailored top half against the slightly awkward and chunky bottom half, with the short trousers and the boots. I love the mix of the checked trousers below the argyle pattern of the jumper. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the boots (as in they are not something I would ever be drawn to whilst shopping) but they work within this outfit. Yes, those glasses seem to be adorning the vast majority of noses right now but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. All in all these two shots have caused a little stir (obtaining exactly 100 comments on the sartorialist) but what do you think? Do you like his hair, the glasses, the everything...or have I just turned mad from all of my marmite consumption?
I like everything... separately. Together it's just too much of a muchness. I wish he'd bloody well cheer up too! (On a different note, the sart's version is a better compostition. When I first saw Yvan's version I commented to the boyf that this chap should be a bit more the right...)

Top half is very nice. Bottom half is dorky. I think we are dealing with a schitso here.
I know I should think the same...I would never leave the house in any of the bottom half of this outfit (or even wear it to the do the gardening)...but for some reason I like it here!
This blog is awesomeness!
how funny!
probably the only case where somebody grew sick of being style snapped.
scotts is the better of course.
you'd think this would happen more often, though.
The Sartorialist cropped his photo to show the detail of the patterns - he was a little surprised by how many people basically just dismissed the look.
I believe part of the difference in the photos can be chalked up to the difference between a Canon G9 and a Canon 5D.
Chililady - Thanks! We try and we promise to make more of an effort on the posting side. We have been extremely good over the last week or so posting every day!
Discothequechic - You would think it would happen more often but Mr Schuman has in my opionion more varied (and also better) tastes than facehunter!
Thomas - You are so knowledgeable!
round glasses -- my latest obsession

Round glasses are everywhere in varying styles and I'm a fan. I prefer the ones shown here as opposed to the Hockney-esque ones that are proving popular - I say leave these to the editorials as per Another Man starring Gary Card.
