I don't remember much being said about Bertie's looks, though there is one story from Carry On Jeeves that is told from Jeeves' point of view, and he describes Bertie's responses frequently. Just not his physical build, if I recall correctly. Here's one quote I love: The guv’nor’s is not one of those inscrutable faces which it is impossible to read. On the contrary, it is a limpid pool in which is mirrored each passing emotion. I could read it now like a book, and his first words were very much on the lines I had anticipated. “Jeeves,” he said, hoarsely,” is that damned car mended yet?”
Jeeves is often described as having chiseled features, as in this excerpt from Thank You, Jeeves: "But she was looking past me at something to the south-east; and, turning, I perceived that we were no longer alone. There, standing in an attitude of respectful courtliness, with the sunshine playing upon his finely chiselled features, was Jeeves."
I could swear that Jeeves is described as having oiled black hair in one of the earlier New York stories, and as being a bit older than Bertie, but I can't seem to find a quote about it.
Edited to add this quote I found from My Man Jeeves, which describes him as tall and dark: The moment I saw the man standing there, registering respectful attention, a weight seemed to roll off my mind. I felt like a lost child who spots his father in the offing. There was something about him that gave me confidence. Jeeves is a tallish man, with one of those dark, shrewd faces. His eye gleams with the light of pure intelligence.
