Remembering Sean Connery, born 95 years ago today on August 25, 1930 — pictured here as the quintessential 007 wearing a smartly tailored ivory dinner jacket, red carnation, and satin-striped shirt in his third James Bond movie, Goldfinger (1964).

Happy 82nd birthday to Robert De Niro!

Exemplified by this poolside multi-check sports coat and yellow silk shirt, his vibrant wardrobe as “Ace” Rothstein in Casino (1995) by costume designers Rita Ryack & John A. Dunn was a major influence on my interest in the intersection of cinema and clothing.

Remembering the multitalented actor and author Robert Shaw, born August 9, 1927.

Fifty years ago in Jaws, Shaw immortalized the sharkhunter Quint—clad in a greasy cap, blue chambray shirt, and olive M-51 field jacket while aboard the Orca in search of the killer shark terrorizing Amity Island.

Happy #NationalMeteorWatchDay!

Assuming this annual observance calls on the nation to watch Ronald Neame’s 1979 sci-fi flop Meteor, post your favorite of Sean Connery’s costumes. Obviously I choose the shearling coat, tweed leisure suit, and turtleneck.

Born 120 years ago today on May 16, 1905, Henry Fonda received his first Academy Award nomination for his performance in The Grapes of Wrath (1940) as Tom Joad.

Tom returns home in a dark prison-issue suit that he swaps for denim bib-overalls made by The Stronghold for his family’s journey west.

Remembering the late screen legend Steve McQueen, born 95 years ago today on March 24, 1930.

An enduring style icon, the “King of Cool” dressed for Carmel in a navy shawl-collar cardigan, cream Bedford cords, and the brown suede playboy boots he also often wore on screen.

Happy 82nd birthday to Martin Scorsese! 🎥

The director appeared in a cameo for the final scene of his latest film, Killers of the Flower Moon (2023), dressed in a navy pinstripe three-piece suit to match the circa 1940s timeframe of the “Lucky Strike Presents” radio show.
