A uniquely turned out Tokyo salary man

Dark, indistinguishable suits tend to be the standard uniform of Japan’s hardworking salary men, but thankfully some of them do opt for a style that is all their own.

    Good for him. That’s a really nice hat. I’d like to wear that myself!

    What excellent attire. Bowler, heavy coat – could be an up market doorman.
    You’ve captured so much character in that instant.
    Another fine street portrait.

      I know eh? He really stood out. A very welcome change.

      Thanks. I saw him from a bit away, so was determined to do him and his outfit justice. Think I just about managed it too.

    Wow! You really can’t help but stare at that hat! If it had been a dark color like the rest of his ensemble, your eyes would just slide off; no big deal. But this man is a genius! 😀

      Yeah, a man who definitely knows what he’s doing. He knows exactly how to pull off that look too

      Good call. He does, doesn’t he? Same area too. Maybe he’s following me. Or maybe I’m following him!
