Monte - Haight Street, SF

"I know when I see something I like. I just have a sixth sense for style. I'll mix up 70s movie star style with 20s style."

The kerchief around his neck and the jewelry surrounding it (pin on vest and necklace peeking out from underneath) are what compelled me to ask if I could take his picture. I love the way his shirt (sleeves crudely removed!) seems to rise out of the vest with the collar cradling the kerchief. The vest is well proportioned unifying the outfit.


It was nice to look at him and discover another detail as I took more pictures. His sense of style is well conceived, so details pop out. I was looking at his ring and bracelet and my eye was suddenly caught by his seatbelt buckle belt.


Here's a close-up of his cowboy boots and tattered hems.
