This is the second funniest last words. Second only to New York Post editor Eric Breindel, who, on his deathbed, ushered his best friend over and whispered to him, 'Please go see my tailor and get some new clothes.'

be very careful of who calls themselves a 'tailor' or describes their work as 'bespoke.' a tailor is someone who knows how to sew. bespoke refers to a specific process. many times, people who use these words are marketers, with many doing MTM in factories.

sometimes people ask me about various custom tailors on the internet, and the answer is always the same: while you can make a custom shirt online, you can't make a custom suit, sport coat, or even trousers. such work is complicated and requires an in-person fitting.

I can't answer questions about what you should wear because I don't know how you want to dress! But if you're just starting to build a better wardrobe, mid- and dark brown are safe colors for leather shoes because they're neutral. That bright, yellow-orange tan is hard to wear.

A lot of my style inspiration nowadays comes from seeing how women dress. I love the way Nigel Cabourn designer Emilie Casiez wears workwear: big, rounded bombers, long overcoats, wide-legged pants, roper boots, etc. So good.

During the Great Blizzard of 1888, socialite Evander Berry Wall and stage actor Robert Hilliard (aka 'Handsome Bob') faced off in a dress battle. Wall won the face-off by striding into a New York bar while wearing a bell-shaped coat with saucer-sized buttons, a silk top hat, and…
