Well, KR got to this first but after becoming interested in the Sartorialist, I thought we might have a bit of fun before Monday creeps around once again...
Mods, feel free to move this, because I have no idea...
The Leica Man, or The Leica Woman
With the Leica M (s), what fashion style do you think is appropriate and do you have any photos to demonstrate what the discriminating Leica Man or Woman would look like?
Where is Bill M when you need him?:angel:

Ha I picture the description from Deborah Copaken Kogan's, "Shutterbabe" where to paraphrase she said that the young wannabee war photographers would use their Canikons for mundane assignments and their Leicas for "their work"... and be dressed in work boots, jeans, lots of black, scarves, unshaven and a bit smelly.
In reality I bet most wear Calvin Klein and drive Mini-Coopers.

I, a Leica man, drive a Chevy Cobalt, although I drove Saabs for 25 years before. Am I in? Pants? strictly bargain basement

A Leica man doesn't think about fashion, fashion thinks about him, and if it chooses, it follows the trends he sets. If it doesn't follow... It is wrong.
As for cars, lets be serious, money spent on cars could be better spent on more camera gear!

Oh, and some eccentric facial hair helps (on the men, not on the women).

Mr Pit... He has lots of Leicas. He even has an R9!

a typical leica shooter is Japanese given that about half of them are reported to be over there.

Well, I have been watching some youtube videos lately, and looking at Jeff Mermelstein and the pattern I'm seeing is facial hair and fleece. Looking at the sartorialist I'm not sure fashion has been paying attention, perhaps we should phone someone... You know, with the Social Network being such a hit, I bet fleece will become at least some kind of cool again soon
