Still in a menswear groove, That's Not My Age popped over to London Fashion Week yesterday where I bumped into Eliot Young, 47, looking dandy in an old Paul Smith tan leather jacket, shirt by Dougie Millings (the original Beatles' tailor) and tweed suit from Portobello market. To me this look says sixties-era Adam Faith with an aristo-twist. What do you think?
That quintessentially English combination of classic tweed tailoring and tan leather brogues put me in mind of fashion consultant, Brian Godbold, 66, another well-dressed gentleman I met earlier this year.
Is there a need for tweed in a gentleman's wardrobe?

Hi there-they really look so stylish, its great to see older men have their own individual styles!!
ReplyDeleteHow very fortunate to meet Jane Birkin, lucky you-I did love your posts on her and I agree she is such an inspiration. Have a great weekend! x
What a stylish pair, I of course having a husband that shoots, am used to tweeds. I like the way the young man wore his.. Note I said young man, we he is younger than me..OMG! xx
ReplyDeleteThey look very smart.
ReplyDeleteThis is totally showing up my lack of fashion nous, but I think the younger chaps trews are too short!
ReplyDeleteI love the overall look though - and the older gent looks FAB!
More power to them!

I'm loving Eliot's look a lot, in fact I've just called the old man in to take a look and he reckons he looks pretty cool,too. Very Adam Faith looking. xxx
ReplyDeletePS Sorry, Jarvis is definately mine.
I don't think a gentleman is a gentleman without tweed. It is simply not right.
ReplyDeleteYes, love a little tweed in a man's wardrobe. And in a woman's too come to think of it. Great Street Style photographs TNMA. x
ReplyDeleteWell put together. Great post. Xxxx
ReplyDeleteVery stylish. I think Eliot looks fantastic. I like the mix of tweed and leather... and the motorcycle helmet. There's definitely a place for tweed in a chap's wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteI used to have a thing about Adam Faith. I met him when I booked him on a chat show in the 90's. He took me for a drink afterwards and what a gorgeous man he was xx
Thanks for all your comments - Mr TNMA's wardrobe is tweed-free so I think some more surreptitious styling is in order!
