    I saw Frank and Dean on the same stage just before Dean became very depressed after his sons death and retired and passed away. it was at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City. Iconic!!!

    Fantastic video, loved every second of it! I had the incredible fortune to see Mr. Sinatra perform live on his final tour to Australia in 1991; even at 75 y.o. he remained an absolute boss and looked impeccable in his tuxedo. The concert also gave me the rare opportunity at that time and age in my life to go full suit and tie without attracting snarky comments from others about being excessively overdressed lol

    I think that the things that made Frank Sinatra so stylish were the era in which he grew up as well as the surrounding cultures. This paisan was also a fashion icon in his own right!
    He had good taste and style. Also, a lot of class and a taste for simplicity. I think that the Black American jazz music scene on 52nd Street in NYC also played a huge influence on his fashion styling. Cats like Nat Cole, Duke Ellington, Sammy Davis Jr., and Miles Davis were cool, and slick trendsetters.
    He was also influenced by the east coast Ivy League look that John Kennedy and Peter Lawford popularized. This styling was clean, simple, classy, yet casual, and ALL-AMERICAN.
    And lastly, his goombahs in the mafia influenced his bad-boy look. He was friendly with thugs like Ben" Bugsy" Siegel, Sam "Momo" Giancana, and Charles "Lucky "Luciano.
    These men were all highly fashionable individuals. Yet, they had a dangerous street element to them.
    I'm a huge Sinatra fan and I've read at least seven biographies about his life.
    I think that these elements are what made him the fashion icon that he was.

    My grandfather and Sinatra were both Italian immigrants who grew up in Hoboken, New Jersey around the same time. My grandfather was a poor man, but he and my grandmother always looked sharp. They impressed upon me the importance of dressing in a dignified manner that shows self respect and respect of others. Not stuffy, but stylish and respectful.

    I bought Zehme's book about Frank's style called "The Way You Wear Your Hat" back when it was first published. I recommend picking up a copy if you're interested in more information about Ol' Blue Eyes!

    SUCH a great video! Thank you. I shared this with my amazing mom (she's in her 80s) and she loved it! We even had our own Sinatra Style discussion afterward. She's a huge fan of Sinatra, and said she'd never seen anything about his personal style before. Anyway, thanks for giving us a fun activity. Who knew menswear could be so inspirational! BTW, we watched the Preston Sings video afterward, and he was a hit with our family! Best wishes.

    Fantastic video and dapper ensemble. I was wondering if you could do a video on different kinds of alcohol, like beers, wines, liquors. I would be interested to learn about their history, how they are made, what distinguishes different types of alcohol, and the customs and traditions associated with each of the common ones. For examples, in past videos, you have mentioned that some places buy a barrel of port on the day a child is born, to be opened on their 18th birthday. Also I have heard that red and white wine are commonly paired with differend foods. What situations would it be common for a gentleman to have a glass of scotch or brandy? A comprehensive video on this topic would be great.
    Also I have noticed from past videos that Raphael and Preston's opera pumps look quite unique, certainly different from many pictures that come up when searching online. There seems to be quite a large variety of different shapes and details when it comes to opera pumps, maybe just as much diversity as oxfords or derbies. If my observations are correct, it would also be nice to have a video dedicated to that. Cheers!

    People in that era were more stylish in general. While picking up food from a diner today, a middle aged woman came in wearing horrible looking jeans with large holes in the knees and strings hanging down. This is how people present themselves in public. Then she looks at me funny with my polo shirt, casual pants and newsboy cap. I once had someone tell me I look like I stepped out of the 1940's. Well, the standard of dress was much higher then so that is a compliment.

    I think theres one rule you can take away from this, ans its very similar on the lines of spezzatura. Its the idea of breaking rules that you can get away wirh while still retaining very much the traditions. Think of oxfords with jeans and a dress shirt or wearing patinad shoes black shoes with a tuxedo. I think its on a case by case basis. It helps to learn the traditional rules before straying off into your own sense of style.
