Praising business casual?
I just don't buy into business casual. I work in an office that is business casual (no jeans) but I always wear a suit. On "casual Fridays" I wear a blazer and flannels, tweed jacket and cavalry twills, hacking jacket and gabardines, etc., but always with a tie--the non-matched aspect is my...- Alex Oviatt

New Vintage 3 Piece Suit: Looking for Feedback
I have an early 60s bespoke Hector Powe with the rings and elastic braces--it is amazing fabric and really great cut. I like to research the original owners of old bespoke suits (thank goodness for tailor's labels) and the gent for whom this one was made was a rather prominent man in the City...- Alex Oviatt

Why are posh people so scruffy? Hilarious article
I used to know a British MP who was also a baronet. He always went around with half of his lunch and the contents of an ashtray down the front of his suit. Bespoke, rumpled, covered in Partagas ash and scrambled egg, he was still remarkably debonaire.... He caught a hot young wife, too, but...- Alex Oviatt

What are you listening to?
Got to find that one, John--sounds great. My other guilty pleasure is a CD called "Swingin' with the Grateful Dead"--big band verion of Truckin? Sugar Magnolia as a jump tune? Believe it or not, it works!- Alex Oviatt

What are you listening to?
If you can find it, there was a great album called "James Bond and his Sextet"--jazz impressions of James Bond themes. Seriously good music to drink a martini to.- Alex Oviatt

What are you listening to?
Today on my drive in it was more big band music, especially the amazing Malibu by Benny Carter--this piece for me sums up the Film Noir vibe. Also listened to Tommy Dorsey's verison of "On the Sunny Side of the Street"--grab your coat and DON'T FORGET YOUR HAT!- Alex Oviatt

What's your signature hat?
Mine would probably be my brown Trilby--I wear it more than any other and I like to think that it brings me luck at the races. It is from my favorite London hatter, Bates in Jermyn Street.- Alex Oviatt

The Ernest Hemingway Thread
I am a huge fan of his work and am fascinated by his life--in my office I have a framed B&W photo of the Hemingway Memorial in Idaho, macabre but fitting somehow. His best work, in my opinion, is The Sun Also Rises. I am oddly fond of The Garden of Eden as well. Have retraced many a Hemingway...- Alex Oviatt

Californians Please check in!
The Van Nuys family didn't even live there--there is a beautiful house near the Huntington Hotel in Pasadena where some of the later Van Nuys (wisely) lived and are burried at the San Gabriel Cemetery. J. Benton Van Nuys was son of one of the key players in the development of the San Fernando...- Alex Oviatt
