Jack Taylor Documentary

[Brian Sheridan]

If you have Sundance Channel On Demand on your cable, they have the documentary "Jack Taylor of Beverly Hills" for viewing. Taylor is a 90 year old clothing store owner who has provided suits and such to the likes of Cary Grant, Frank Sinatra, Jackie Gleason and even the Duke of Windsor. My fashion idols Glenn O'Brien and Alan Flusser are also in it.

Many of Jack's clients are interviewed and you even see a customer go through the process of being fitted for bespoke suit. Well worth checking out.

Here are some stories on Jack:

Thanks for the heads up.


BTW, isn't there a FL produced Jack Taylor vid floating around here somewhere?

I did find this video online featuring the very opinionated (and correct) Taylor...
