if i saw this gent on the street he’d be worthy of a second look and certainly possesses a sense of personal style, which is more than most people on the street.

for my taste, the details are all wrong, excepting the tie (although even there, having a logo on the tie is pretty gauche). i really dislike the different stripe pattern on the shirt collar, the gold buttons on the blazer, and the corduroy collar on that coat. that coat just isn’t cool to me. i know that american basics are the “in” thing right now, but that corduroy collar on that run of the mill jacket is about as uncool as it gets. also, the blazer looks really blah — like a million others one sees at goodwill and passes over. it’s very long, has an extremely low gore, and the lapels are sort of rolled over in a cheap way. if seen without the overcoat, i can’t imagine it would look very sharp at all.

that said, the sum is more than the parts.

Mordechai ALWAYS looks great – but for my taste sometimes looks like he could use a roll in the dirt

The blind hem is very under utilized, especially on jeans, if at all. It looks great.

The laws of sartorial gravity do not apply equally to all mortals. Mordechai inhabits a universe of his own making that depends not on a particular hem. It’s a privilege to bear witness.

You know I don’t like them hem, but that’s my opnion.

That’s what’s so great about Mort’s page, it’s a break from the groupsthink and cattiness that inhabits other sites. On it I can see tons of stylish people (often) wearing stuff I never would (and looking great in it).

I’ll add that just because someone wears something doesn’t mean they are claiming to have invented the look, or that it’s the height of fashion right now.

It’s tough to overcome, despite myself, I rarely wear my topsiders (favorite pair of shoes) anymore because I saw too many other people wearing them lately.
What the hell is wrong with me/us?

It’s impossible to be truly unique anymore, but Mort’s site come close (to me anyways).

The hem doesn’t need to be saved, it is fine. Y’all are like sheep.
