watch: the right stuff

Wolfe made no secret that he disliked the film, especially because of changes from his original book. William Goldman, involved in early drafts of the script, also disliked Kaufman's choice to elevate the perception of Chuck Yeager above the Mercury Program astronauts. But, artistic license and all, it's a cracker of a Sunday afternoon flick. And don't forget, "No bucks...no Buck Rogers."

buy: the right stuff

Every role requires the right stuff. Whether it be a high altitude flight suit for "Infinity and Beyond," or something elegant and stylized for the boardroom, a dinner or a date. Whatever it is we are keen to discuss, consider, advise, and create. For some it's bonus season soon. For others it's time to consider your spring and summer wardrobe. And for a few of you it's also perhaps time to finally pull the trigger on your first DQ bespoke suit. Either way, we'd encourage you to ponder our Q+T and rise to the challenge in the attire of a Gentlemen Rogue.
