I met Sidney in Grand Central Station back in the warmer months. I really appreciate a gent in a DB blazer and bow-tie. Sidney, like alot of men I approach; asked what is it about me that you liek so much. To which I responded "why, youre polka dotted bow tie and DB blazer. He asked for my details and 2 days later, the day i left for a intercontinental flight, I received a signed copy of his book in the post. We have more in common than I would have thought. Sidney grew up in Baltimore Maryland. What an exceptional guy. You should check out his book. A story about growing up with a dad who was a booky. bookie?  I decided to post this as I have been looking at old drafts that have inspired most recent outfits of mine. I have been wearing this bow tie for the last few weeks religiously. Often wearing 3 days straight. I dont sweat too much.

As long as Ive known this gentleman he stays killing it. Since the days of New Republic I remember seeing him walking through SoHo always looking dapper. A true modern dandy.

A 3 Button roll over lapel plaid blazer is great paired with a khaki pant and moccasins. His choice of frames are pretty hip right now as well. This guy has been wearing the same thing for 25 years, he told me so. We were wearing the same bow tie, only mine was navy w/ white dots.
