André Churchwell in his "mill suit," a version of a country tweed worn by the late Duke of Windsor in the 1960's at his country home, Le Moulin de Tuilerie. A cardiologist who practices and teaches in a smaller city, Dr. Churchwell is able to wear less formal clothing than men in more urban environments. Tailored by Leonard Logsdail, his mill suit combines city colors with a country pattern suitable for academic and suburban settings.
The shirt and tie are from Turnbull & Asser and the crocodile shoes are Ralph Lauren.

Without my morning coffee, I could be convinced that the photo is a Fellows illustration. Superb.
A wonderful illustration of your previous post re "Suits don't need to be formal".
That's a suit that few men could pull off, but I think the doctor does. I like the material a lot; the suit is styled very well (ticket pocket, etc.); and he's coordinated his outfit beautifully. And look at the tailoring: the check of the jacket aligns with the check of the pants!
As much as I would like a suit like this, I would choose material with less contrast between the check and the ground—personal preference.
That certainly is one wicked check but worn to perfection by a gentleman who has kept in trim- agreed- there is the essence of style.
That's a fantastic photograph.
There's nothing like seeing a man standing confidently in a suit. great photo.
Wonderful to see someone who knows what he likes, how to put it together and dares to wear it. Also agree with the first commenter that this fellow looks like the best parts of an Apparel Arts illustration brought to life.
The world of gentlemen's clothing is a small one when I find my cardiologist on my favorite blog. Dr. Andre Churchwell is that perfect combination of an exemplar of personal style and a gentleman as well.
Brilliant.
Great to see someone from my childhood and hometown featured on this blog, although I have not seen him in many years. Not only is Dr. Churchwell very stylish, he is part of a distinguised family with multi-generational accomplishments.
Kudos to him!
