The Cinncinati Kid: Fall Color Schemes and Moleskin jackets



As I have mentioned somewhere before, I deeply, deeply enjoy the color schemes in Cincinnati Kid. They span several decades, with the best grays, blacks, and navies of the fifties, and the best earth colors of the sixties and seventies all in one place. Headlining the newer colors is McQueen, the young man, his colors reflected in those of the kid. One of the impressive things about these colors, too, is the ways they are subtle, truly earthy, rich. His sweater below, is like the the leaves in fall, and goes nicely with his reddish skin tones. The green cotton moleskin jacket, above, plays perfectly off the green behind him, is chock-full of wonderful details, including high lapel stance, and double flap pockets. And the sweater and jacket together are so good, so good.
