Alex James is an excellent sartorial role model for the modern gentleman. I do love Jarvis though, I saw him at St Pancras last week and had a little swoon.
The jumpers/shirt combo that seems to the source of so much disdain is pretty much all I wear. Except today, as I am that most despicable of things, a bloke in his thirties wearing a hoodie.
Today I'm wearing a v-neck jumper over a t-shirt. I never had ADGS down as an Alex James type. He looked different on that Woodland walk video he put on here a few months ago. But tis the internet.
Jumper over shirt is actually a nice style if you're not arrogant combined with posh in my humble opinion.
I wear my hoodie all the time, and I've rolled past 40. It's warm and practical and I wear it without any hint of embarrassment. Obviously I dread being hugged by the PM when I wear it but I'll take my chances.
Who would wear a round-neck jumper over a shirt? That would be a crass sartorial failure.
Like Andy, I almost always don the (v-neck) jumper over a shirt look. I do own a hoody (a Durham University Ultimate Frisbee hoody, no less) but my missus nicked it.
I just have this nagging feeling Kreuzkav would really take against me if we ever met.
My hoodie has Brooklyn written on it. It is not part of a Beckham diffusion range.
I sport tattersalls with knitted tie under roundneck jumper most of the time. And the collar sometimes just slips out, you can't really help it. That is when I'm not in a suit (creme with esapdrillos on dress-down Fridays). I'm also bloody arrogant, but it's really insecurity. Probably everyone would take against me.
The missus emailed me this link the other week, seemingly pleased that all I was missing was the bracelet and the knitted tie.
I think Keuzkav would seriously object: <http://www.mrporter.com/intl/essentials.mrp>
I was eyeing up a hooded top a few weeks ago. But I think with spring coming I might go dandy and start wearing a suit and floppy hat with a suitably garish shirt.
@Misscara: is that a general prohibition on the wearing (by men) of boots on the outside of jeans, or specifically on 'tucking in'? I mean, my preferred style of jeans is such that it would be pretty much physically impossible to wear them outside my boots. Tucking loose-fitting jeans into boots, though, sounds very wrong.
@Misscara: oh dear - I obviously fail to meet the standards of the local fashion police, then!
For my part, I don't really approve of shirts. Or jumpers, for that matter, but particurly not V-neck jumpers. I generally wear a T-shirt in all weathers.

I could be easily be labelled posh if dressed that way.
On the other hand my great grandad grew up in a South Wales pit village and was a miner
I reckon almost every photo of him (taken up to the mid 1990s) features him wearing a v neck jumper over a shirt.
He definitely wasn't posh
