T: We somehow have 1,000 followers now. That calls for a fuzzy face self portrait.

T: Jon Hamm shows you how to be really really ridiculously good looking. If you plan on buying a suit this summer for wedding season, I would go with a blue one a little bit darker than the one above. Also, just a heads up, mini gingham (the pattern on the shirt) will be everywhere this spring.

Fort Greene
T: I’m crashing at Andrew’s place in Brooklyn until next week. Today, I went for a run in Fort Greene park which is one of my favorite parks in the world. After running the steps there far too many times and almost falling down because my legs felt like silly bandz, I thought about how beautiful Fort Greene is and how much I wanted to pass out.
So, I thought that I would devote a post to my temporary neighborhood. As I always say, good enough for Dr. Cliff Huxtable, good enough for our readers.
Below is GQ photo series about peak lapel suits (my preferred lapel) and ladies in summer dress shot in Fort Greene. Enjoy for several reasons.
More really nice suits beautiful scenes of Fort Green and it’s seemingly gorgeous populous after the jump.

T: There is no one suaver (is that a word?) than Cary Grant in North by Northwest. His gray suit has been the inspiration for characters in numerous other films (see Cruise, Tom in Collateral) but never has a piece of clothing has this much impact on a movie.
Cary Grant manages to keep it fresh even while running from communist agents, dodging a crop dusting plane, and while leading a drunken high speed chase with police. The suit itself was made at Kilgour, a 124 year old tailor on Saville Row in London with the input of the famous actor himself.
Everything about this ventless, three button suit with a roll-over lapel is perfect. The cut in the shoulders is flawless, Mr. Grant shows the perfect amount of cuff, and the shade of gray is neither too dark nor too light. It just shows that one excellent piece of frequently worn clothing can make everyone consider you well dressed. But, I wouldn’t recommend wearing the same suit for a week at a time like Mr. Grant does in the film. (at least change your socks).
