Jorge Garcia, one of the stars of the TV show Lost, clearly has a lot of food experience under his belt. But by wearing a well-fitting tuxedo—and keeping it buttoned—he looks like he’s been forced to forage on a desert island.
At the premiere of Ocean’s Thirteen, Matt Damon and Brad Pritt proved that a high, stiff collar is as debonair today as it was in the nineteenth century.
The ever snarky bloggers at Gawker got up close and personal with some blue bloods attending a polo match in Greenwich, Connecticut. Even they had to admit that they were impressed by the habedashery on display, including the pick stitched jacket with hand-rolled silk pocket square at left and, at right, the cotton twill jacket, linen hankerchief, and heavyweight pique polo shirt, the last of which from Ralph Lauren’s new, “edgy” Rugby line.
