    Esquire Article on Thom Browne Suit Experiment

    In the current issue of Esquire, there's a clever little article where the author describes his experience in roaming around town while wearing the full TB (short pants, no socks, tight jacket, etc.). One thing that struck me was that TB allegedly includes a set of "rules" or an instruction...

    Whole lotta Lapo

    What's that old saying--if you try to be cool, you're not? That pocket hanky is almost as big and as aerodymantic as a kite. Ivan Kip, if your pocket hanky was anywhere as near as his it would be swiftly swept up by a Chicago wind and would never be seen again.

    Whole lotta Lapo

    Is that a white bird or a pocket hankerchief or maybe both? Looks as big as a bed sheet.

    San Francisco in the Vertigo Era

    Rich . . . Kim DID wear a gray suit, in that film . . . when she was supposed to be, whoever she was impersonating. And it was a 'couture' suit, because Edith Head made it for Kim Novak. That's why I drew the contrast between Edith Head's suit, which to my eye looks confused and unharmonious...

    San Francisco in the Vertigo Era

    It's the original rotunda from the old City of Paris department store. As late as the 70s, Union Square was still ringed by native SF institutions, including CofP and I. Magnin. When CofP closed in (I believe) '75, Neiman's wanted to replace the whole building, but preservationists forced them...

    San Francisco in the Vertigo Era

    Many. The sleeves are a little too long. The pocket flaps on the jacket are not well made; they're not placed rhythmically in proportion to the rest of the jacket. The sleeves are not particularly smooth, the cuffs are not precise enough. The fit I would call, 'so-so.' When a Saint Laurent suit...

    San Francisco in the Vertigo Era

    I bought Vertigo the other day as an impulse purchase while waiting in a University of California registrar's office-like queue at the Union Square Barnes & Noble. I love this film, and had not seen it in a while. Seeing it made me a little nostalgic. I did a Google search to track the exact...

    Manton fans may like Cary Grant book.

    I have heard that dozens of never before seen photos, will be included in this new book. Edith Head considered Cary Grant to be the 'most perfect,' of the men that she had dressed, during her career. Anyone interested in another side to Cary Grant, might enjoy POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL, by C. David...

    Cary Grant: A Celebration of Style

    My guess would be absolutely. He had lots of shirts made by them and either had them or some other company replace the usual buttons with better buttons, usually mother of pearl. They made his custom-made jeans, too, which he requested be cut higher in the rise. He often wore jeans and...

    Cashmere scarves

    I was in BR today and saw this: http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse...scid=433067012 I like it a lot but will be damned if I'm going to pay $88 for it. Does anyone know where I can find something similar? I gotta admit it, I popped for one of those BR cashmere scarves a year or two ago. Sort...

    carey grant

    I think the new book had an interview with CG where someone asked him how he looked so good in the cropduster scene and his answer was something like 6 suits just for that scene. Six suits and many ties! --RT
