I saw those. Most rediculously awesome thing ever. May try and get those just because.
He was also (in)famous for a moment of undress, as the headless man.Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. was one of the best-dressed men in America
See this?I would love to have this though, so if anyone is looking to buy me a birthday present....
See this?
Don't do it.........shakeshead
... and the collective yawn from Fedora Lounge members is deafening.
This is Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., folks. Most of his wardrobe is the 'holy grail' of Golden Era --and Golden Era-style--menswear. Sartorially speaking, this man was America's answer to the Duke of Windsor (and nearly as Anglophile).
Why can we hear the crickets chirping?
... nothing really wowed me. ... Me thinks the family (three daughters) grabbed the good stuff.
If Douglas had only been my size I'd be bidding...
Well, the DoW's stuff hung around for a lot longer due to Wallis outliving him and the creepy Al-Fayed..... and BTW, what happened to all of Cary Grant's stuff? I don't recall an estate auction. I vaguely remember reading that he was a pack rat and kept his old clothes in storage rather than give them away. Jennifer Grant (sole heir) may be sitting on a very valuable sartorial collection.Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. has been dead for more than 11 years. Frankly, I'm surprised that his heirs held on to so much of his clothing for as long as they did.
