Leo Mulvihill looks the classic man's man.
The hat is one clue. Displaying an old-school flair for style, the 25-year-old law student at Drexel University walks around campus sporting a vintage Brooks Brothers three-piecer and authentic 1960s Florsheims, his trilby cocked just so. --snip-- Say goodbye to the sensitive guy who cries at the drop of a pink tee, or the slacker living with his mother, playing video games. This new man has ambition and aplomb, brawn and brains.
Think Cary Grant, Teddy Roosevelt, or Ernest Hemingway.

So basically, the new fashion is to become, well, me.
Great.

Some fashion designer from Milan and his boyfriend are once again telling men that they should throw out their clothes and buy a whole new wardrobe this year. Why are they so desparate to get men on the "new design this year and you will die of shame if seen wearing last year's clothes" treadmill?

Apparently, you can have those Florsheims again, if you know where to shop. I’m guessing eBay.

Real men would lead a battalion of Tommies against the Zulu for Queen and Country.
How’s that for retrosexual?

I’m glad to see that waistcoats with pocketwatch and chain are coming back, too.

Ernest wasn't much of a dresser, but he sure knew how to accessorize.

Florsheims. What a blast from the past. My dad was fanatical about his Florsheims. He’d keep them looking brand new and pay us to polish them. The good ole’ days when men truly were men.

I took a look at the photos. I’m all for hats and suits — classic style. But I will never be ok with ‘men’ wearing decorative fringed scarves looped around their necks.

...my husband is fanatical about his Florsheims. They are I-don’t-know-how-old, and polished and perfect. One pair black wingtips, one pair cordovan.

I have four pairs. I think they’ve been repaired four or five times. The local shoe repair guy said Florsheim Imperials would last forever.
To: Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus
Change that hat to a Fedora and it’s pretty much me.
