My cousin in SoCal had a yellow Harrington jacket. When I was out there for my first year of college, I bought one. Being blonde, it was great on me. Back in the Chicago are, I wore it in the summer time until it wore out. Over the years, I found one in a thrift store and I bought it. Not really a fan of such a bright jacket anymore. You always have to be aware of where you live and what you do. Beach towns are different than Midwest cities. Camel jacket colors look good on me and navy. I have plenty of both. It gets cold here. The camel hair polo coat is very elegant. Burburry trenchcoats are very practical. Duffle coats and Pea coats, both in navy blue are so practical and timeless. Thank you for your videos.

lf you read the stories about Jimmy Dean, he only brought only ONE small cardboard box tied with a string onto the plane when he moved from NYC to California, as witnessed by film director Elia Kazan in his autobiography. So how could Dean wear so many different outfits in the hundreds and hundreds of photos of him? He always looks stylish, from suit and tie, to a leather jacket on a motorcycle, jeans and white shirt, cowboy outfits. Nobody ever addresses this contradiction. He only spent money on Porsches, and nothing on his outfits, but yet he has a such variety of garments in every picture. Nobody has ever addressed this contradiction. Anyhoo, agree on the Dean style.

Many GIs who came home from WW2 were the proto surfers, hot rodders, and bikers and created the casual aesthetic

Put aside the show and I would suggest Ric Flair from the 80's. Rolex, diamond rings and

If fictional characters can be recommended, I would consider Jame Bond. For actors, the first choice is Sean Connery; close second, Daniel Craig.

Hows about Morrissey? You know, he wrote a book on James Dean in his youth.... pretty great.

It would be interesting to see one of these videos where the style wasn't being worn by one of the most handsome actors of all time.

What about Arthur Fonzarelli’s classic look?😅👍🏽

I would like to hear your take on Ralph Lauren.

Ryan Gosling and the goat, Carey Grant. Nobody wore a grey suit better.
