The currently in vogue sportcoat/untucked shirt look

[Tomasso]

Who knew?

I don't mind this look in a casual setting, I myself have done this before, but I think the jacket needs to be unbuttoned. But that's just my opinion.

The first image giving an answer to (i forget who asked) the question of ventless pocket usage.

How much money on the frst one being a short sleeved shirt?

I was thinking the same.

The first picture gives me the impression of a hurried photo-jacket just thrown on. Needs to be unbuttoned.

Let's put this, along with Fred Astaire's ties-as-belts, in the category of Things You Have To Be A Style Icon To Bring Off.

Perhaps, but how many of us look like Cary Grant??

Who knew?

I'm thinking that CG didn't want to be photographed jacketless or in short sleeves (or maybe jackets were required at the Sahara), and had too much class to tuck in a shirt meant to be worn tails-out, so just slipped the jacket over it for reasons of decorum.

Ie: he probably didn't intend this as a style statement.

I the first photo, he's surely on a boat, no?

Looks like it from the window.

I could not agree more

I don't know about that, he was very calculating in his presentation.

Notice that in the top pic he has only the bottom button of his sportcoat done up and in the bottom pic he has both done up.

Original caption:

Touring the U.S. for his first significant look at the country, Arthur MacArthur (right), 16-year-old son of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, queries Cary Grant about movie making on the set of "To Catch a Thief". Young MacArthur is spending six weeks visiting places his long years in the Far East prevented him from seeing. "Hollywood is Everything I thought it would be", said Arthur.

To me, the top pic just screams chickenhawk. Anybody else get that vibe?

I am a little afraid to say. I posted something about the chia pet and I got heartburn.

If I was not concerned I would say absolutely

Arthur McArthur !! What an unfortnunate name …

[Fletch]

He was the IVth, no less.

As the only son of Fightin' Doug, Arthur had a lot of expectations put on him at a very young age. He turned down an appointment to West Point to go to Columbia, changed his name, and effectively disappeared.

They say he became a concert pianist and is still in NYC. No one knows what his assumed name might be.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Extremely unfortunate. Honestly. Horrific.

[Fletch]

Other hits indicate he is/was actually a saxophonist in NY. So was I for many years - that got me to wondering who he might be! He'd be about 70 and - perhaps - still known as Art or Artie.

Only guy I can think of is Artie Miller, but he's several years younger and best known as a clarinetist.

George Clooney does.
