Collateral – Vincent’s Suit
Finally took the time to revisit and update an old post that was in dire need of more detailed attention… Happy Leap Day!
Show us your BAMF!
I’ve made no secret of the fact that I think all of you who follow and comment on this blog are some of the coolest dudes around. BAMF Style just celebrated its third anniversary (on September 26th, if you’re curious), and I couldn’t have made it this far without all of you.
To show my appreciation, I’d love to get the chance to highlight some of the looks you guys are sporting. Whether it’s based on a movie or TV BAMF or just a stellar combination you’ve found on your own, feel free to send a photo or two of an outfit that makes you proud to TheSartorialBAMF@gmail.com, along with a few words like the manufacturers, fabric, and even an anecdote about it.
It’d be my pleasure to sort through the submissions and get a post up – probably around Thanksgiving, since I’ll be literally giving my thanks – featuring all of your great style.
This one’s for you, BAMFs!
Also, check out this cool article by Guy Trebay for the New York Times, where Trebay talks about classic sprezzatura style icons like Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, Cary Grant, and Marvin Gaye. Trebay even talks about McQueen’s somewhat anachronistic – but badass – attire in The Great Escape.
I’m 25 today.
Happy birthday to me!

I posted about the jacket back in January 2013, but just this week I learned that the jacket will be sold at auction! Continue reading

80th Anniversary of Repeal Day!
Eighty years ago, the powers that be brilliantly repealed the Volstead Act, the prohibitive act that made the production, transport, and sale of alcohol illegal in the United States. From the implementation of the 18th amendment on January 17, 1920 until the repeal with the 21st amendment on December 5, 1933, folks in the U.S. were not allowed to sell booze, although they were technically allowed to drink and privately own it.
If you have a Repeal Day party, or if you just want to celebrate in vintage style, check out some of the 1920s-themed posts on BAMF Style for inspiration…
