I'm on the far right in the Knickerbockers. BTW, the knicks, are from the 30's and the socks were originally sold at Alexander & Oviatt that were made in 1927. I know this because Alexander was bought out by Oviatt in 1928. They sold the best woolens in LA! The building is still there and the LA Art Deco Society holds meetings in the original 1927 Art Deco Penthouse. In fact, it was one of the first Art Deco structures in LA.
For more info on Oviatt, you can see some of the place at this link.

Take care,
Root.
PS. Art probably knows more about it then I do

Can't wait for the book to drop.Marc Chevalier said:
