Badly composed shot of a #Lanvin tie of a certain age, a kind gift from a friend, on my old furry #Gelot fedora which yeah I wore today making me a #fedoraguy. “Well actually,” as we’re wont to say, if you want to learn more about all this or educate your friends by the dozen, my book, Swan Songs: Souvenirs of Paris Elegance, has the definitive story of the definitive makers of French elegance, from #ASulkaandCompany, #ArnysParis, #Charvet, #Berluti to #CampsdeLuca and many others, and a little guide for remaining sources of original and elegant things at the back. It is available at the link in my bio, or signed in physical form at only two places on this turbulent and warming planet: @ChatoLufsen, 41, rue de Verneuil, Paris 7, or @NomanWalksAlone in NYC. #swansongsrjdm #madeinfrance #menswear #chapelier #hatmaker #hatter #steez https://www.instagram.com/p/ClUoTa8L47W/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
