Dandy of the Week - Cary Grant

Born Archibald Leach in Bristol, England, Cary Grant was a self-made man who would become an icon of American cinema and fashion. He exemplified all the traits of a true gentleman and by all accounts was as charmingly self-deprecating, witty, stylish and confident in real life as in his films. Few could wear a suit as well as him, evidenced by the now iconic grey flannel he wore throughout North by Northwest. He set the standard for how a gentleman should carry himself for a generation on the verge of forgetting.
