I love putting together my Recreating the Look series so don't know why I haven't added to it for a while. I make no apologies for using the great Steve McQueen again as a basis a revived menswear look; here from Bullitt of course.
As ever with McQueen, it wasn't so much what he wore as how he wore it. Total self-confidence and a complete lack of self-consciousness make his clothes meld around him. Nothing here is other than classic and plain in style - always the safest way to go.
The original jacket was brown herringbone tweed and the roll neck a navy blue. So how can you recreate this look now? Here are some suggestions. Do let me know what you think.
Raincoat: Gloverall men's bonded cotton car coat
Tweed jacket: House of Fraser, brown herringbone Howick Crandall jacket. The original had elbow patches - easy to get sewn on
Roll neck: Johnstons of Elgin 2-ply cashmere classic roll neck in navy blue
