you're so hollywood, she said

Menswear Monday's "Portrait of a Suit" series continues. Here's last week's Intellectual Sartorialist in case you missed him. (And believe me, you don't want to miss the priceless expression on his face). This week we bring you The Dapper Pinstripe Suit, sponsored by Turner Classic Movies. 
The Leading Man: It’s... Clark Gable. It’s... Howard Hughes. It’s… the time-traveling Hollywood leading man! Pinstripes and pocket squares, fedoras and trench coats-- from the top of his pomaded ‘do to the tips of his Oxfords, this dapper suit cuts a swath through 1940s Hollywood with no problem. Oh wait, there is a problem: it’s 2011. 
He’s not troubled. He tosses back brandy with his pinky raised, wears aviator goggles to and from work (subway be damned!), and makes platinum blondes everywhere swoon from the sheer force of his (tongue-less Hollywood) kiss. Must haves: shoe shine and a pen to sign autographs for his many, many, many adoring fans.






**I don't know who this nice man is, but no offense intended! His style was unique and I'm just poking a little satirical sartorial fun.
