Tokyo pinstripe man

Photographs generally only hint at a subject’s personality, but it’s probably fair to assume that this gentlemen isn’t the shy and retiring type.

    That’s an interesting look but kinda disappointed he doesn’t have a matching necktie! 😉

      That’s very true! But to compensate somewhat, he does seem to be wearing two shirts. Or is it three jackets?

    Looks like he could be in a Beat Takeshi ya movie:) looks awfully warm.

      Good call. He really does, doesn’t he? It was a cold day despite the blue sky, but yeah, still probably a bit on the warm side with that big fur(?) coat on.

    All he needs is a long thin mustache and some large gold rimmed tinted glasses to complete the look.
    But I guess he could go with a large brimmed hat and call it a day.

      Definitely. Either and he really would have the complete look going on. Saw him from quite a distance away, so was very happy the crowd opened up a bit and I got a clear shot of him, and his outfit.

    That is some unusual attire. It looks like two identical jackets over a shirt to me with the inner jacket folded imaginatively.
    I’d like to have seen the shades in action. He must have eyes of steel to leave them in his pocket unused when staring right into the sun that way.

      Ah, yes. Exactly the same colour and stripes. Clearly something he has thought out.

      With the shades on he really would have looked the part. Must admit that for once, I was happy not to get the eye contact I usually like to capture…
