An old school Tokyo train traveller

No face mask or ubiquitous smartphone for this old fella. Instead, it was just pinstripes, a trilby and total indifference.

    A lot of guys couldn’t pull off that look but he totally does. He looks like a bad ass! 🙂

      Yeah, he certainly suits those pinstripes. The hat too. A very distinctive look for sure.

    Brilliant contrast in the reflection

      Quite a difference eh? That’s what swung it for me. Pinstripe man is genuinely interesting, but that reflection makes the shot, or at the very least gives it a different dimension.

      Ah, only familiar with the name, so will have to look into that for the similarities.

        Well, admittedly, it’s a stretch, but John Wick wears a three piece suit, and the last film had a climactic fight on a subway car. Old John Wick is now sleepy after so much fighting.

          That sounds close enough to me!

    A striking scene.
    I wish I could say I looked half as sharp when I was half his age…

      I know eh? It’s possible I suppose that he had the same look when he was half his current age, but either way, it’s one that he definitely suits.
