    What are you wearing today??

    This looks excellent on you Paddy! How do you know the date? Is there a makers tag inside of it? Can we get a close up of the birds eye fabric? Any other details like a fishtailed back to the trousers?

    What are you wearing today??

    Thanks! The best thing about it is that my mom's father always thought my dad resembled William Powell, so my family got a kick out of that comment continuing to the next generation :)

    Speaking of Nick Charles, what was he always drinking?

    Paradise Cocktail Not the Thin Man but...there's that great opening scene of William Powell in One Way Passage with Kay Francis where the bartender goes to great lengths to make a Paradise Cocktail. Looking it up online, it isn't anywhere near as complex as he makes it out to be but I'd love...

    What are you wearing today??

    thanks! I'm still working on it. I had attempted a pencil mustache a few years ago and it looked terrible on me. But I know I need an eyebrow pencil to make it work but I might just keep it like this. People were calling me William Powell all night

    "Backwards" neckties in 1939?

    I can't comment on the bow tie, but from memory, I really liked the film. Didn't it feature a very young Lucille Ball as a prostitute?

    What are you wearing today??

    Oooh you guys are too kind! I'm still learning, actually I changed the pocket square to a brown/red combo instead of the one pictured (a 1933 Chicago World's Fair pocket square!) I thought the colors might clash with the bowtie. I dunno, better safe than thinking about it all night, right...

    What a fun film! :) My favorites of his are M, Mad Love & Face Behind the Mask. He was never given enough meaty roles and had a hard time getting out from the shadow of M. He only directed one film, the Lost One. It is fascinating as he traveled back to his homeland to film it there shortly...
