Brilliantly Unexpected

Photo: Time, Inc.

The fog was cooling the coast yesterday and as I reached for a coat I was reminded of this photo of Charlie Watts, who paired a suede blouson with a tweed topcoat on an October day in 1982.

The unexpected juxtaposition of the two differently textured pieces of outerwear is brilliantly unexpected, by one of the world's best dressed men.

And without any doubt THE best dressed Rockstarof our time! The diamond under the stones.

That checked tweed balmacaan (guess I would call it) must be the very soul of loden, tobacco (for the suede) and deep wheat.

Why else that look of "wild surmise" on the part of Mr. Watts' companion on the left?
