Re: Cary Grant a Celebration of Style by Richard Torregrossa
Hi Richard: Do you happen to know if CG's London tailor, Kilgours, and his shirtmaker, Hawe & Curtis, still have his patterns for the purposes of posterity?

Maybe a book on Coop the great?
Maybe a compendium of super dressers from the thirties like Drexel Biddle, Lucius Beebe, George Raft, Randolph Scott, Bob Hope, Jimmy Stewart, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. etc... Perhaps one action packed chapter for each?

Didnt CLark Gable say in that move the Hucksters that they had to wear "sincere neckties?"

Richard, mention to the folks at Ask Andy that we're way ahead of the curve in this forum and have already covered many of the salient topics regarding CG and your book and the article in Town & Country, with far more interesting and sophisticated content and questions/answers---For the few of them, of course, who haven't already viewed our discussion here. Perhaps, though, we can help stimulate some clever thinking elsewhere
