Manning up (Retro-Sexual Look is in Style!)

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.

Please forgive the poor grammar in my paragraph to you - I am trying to multi-task while replying and have forgotten that perview is my fiedn.

I do agree that it is a big improvement in style! Better manly than metro.

[Mr Rogers]

“And when he puts on his leather riding chaps? Wa-Hoo! :)”

He wears leather riding chaps for WaHoo?!?!

It will take a while to get THAT mental picture out of my noggin...

[SnakeDoctor]

I agree in concept. There are certainly “men” out there that need as much guidance as they can get. Decades of feminization has not helped the American male.

My response that it was “not needed” was a personal one ... in response to the guy that said if I “needed” to read a book about being manly, I probably wasn’t.

AH - gotcha - :D cheers!

[Alkhin]

ROFL! Bad boy...

[LongElegantLegs]

But an undeniably snazzy dresser, and comfortable in his own skin.

[HereInTheHeartland]

His picture at Alcatraz looks different

[Alkhin]

I love the tilt of the hat! did you see the article on Big Hollywood a couple of weeks ago about how men knew how to wear hats then? Capone was listed as one who set the standard, so to speak...Ill see if I cant hunt down the piece...

[Alkhin]

Here you go!

The Way You Wear Your Hat

Is why I posted Russell Crowe's pic from Rough Magic - He had that lilt to his hat as well..

[Alkhin]

I no longer call Harrison Ford a Real Man - not when the man wears a turtle neck, an earring, and has his chest shaved for the environment. Damn, when they fall, they fall hard! Harry was a good man...until he started flirting with Perky Katie and abandoning his second wife.

but enough of that rant...here's when Harrison Ford pretty much brought back the Hat all by himself: Indiana Jones.

An excellent article! Here's one I've had on my profile forever: http://www.themorningnews.org/archives/opinions/womens_fashion_part_iii_hats.php

I have decided I'm going to wear a hat this summer...I think I'm going to go for a big straw cloche.

[LongElegantLegs]

Well, I’m pretty sure your mug shot at Alcatraz would look a little different, too!

I have a documentary that shows some footage of him afterwards, at his summer home...He wasn’t as sick as he let on.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Yesterday's WSJ carried a story about ‘too much information.’
One guy mentioned having a tambourine at bedside...

[Oceander]

Well, this guy’s just a fop, but if it takes putting up with fops to get the hat back into acceptable standard fashion, so be it.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

And sometimes clothing is optional under those chaps. Smarty Pants! :)
