These dapper fellows remind me of my impeccably dressed grandfather Hal. Hal always wore a crisp, brightly colored button down shirt, and matching sweater. He would also coordinate his socks and belt to go with the rest of his outift. I hope to one day be as stylish as these awesome gents above.
I was super excited when I opened my email to see this photo sent in by Erin Potter. Erin described her encounter with this snazzy fellow below:
The first time I met him he was wearing black slacks and a bright red blazer over a sequined red and black sweater and a smashing fedora. These photos are from our second meeting. He tells such great stories about the restaurants he used to own and even some about dating Mae West.
Enjoy!

Jenny stopped by my work and we had a wonderful lunch. We chatted and laughed as I snapped some photos of her outside an old church wall.
Mary, who I met on the street the other day looking sharp in Nanette Lepore, came to visit me at The New Museum with her friend Doris. I asked them about how they met, and the two let me in on a little of their history.
Mary: We’ve been friends for about 30 years.
Doris: We worked together at the Whitney Art Museum.
Mary: I was fired for insubordination.
Doris: I offered to help her fight for her job–
Mary: And she had a very high position there! But I didn’t want her to have to fight for it, because of my boss. He was nicknamed “Lobotomy.”
As Mary and Doris have advanced in age, they’ve maintained an appreciation for each other’s fashion sense, and still firmly believe in looking their best every day.
