DEL IGHTS FOR YOUR F IVE SENSES
Shopping for fi ne clothing and
accessories should be about more
than simply making a purchase. At
Garmany, weve created an atmo-
sphere that is all about making you
feel great. We make it our mission
to appealquite literallyto all fi ve
of your senses. For example:
The fi rst thing you notice when you walk in the door is the
entic-
ing smell of our favorite cologne,
Laurentino.
Next you hear music. We think life should have a great
soundtrack, so our personal selections are always playing for you
throughout the store. The tunes are upbeat and ener-
geticit sounds like a party and makes you want to join in.
You will also notice that your sense of sight is tantalized
everywhere you look. We treat ev-ery corner of our store as though
it were a window display, with drama, color, style and verve.
Plus, we always have a seasonal exhibit of notable art from a
local gallery. We can modestly
say that you wont see merchandise displayed to better effect at
any other store, anywhere.
Perhaps youre craving a taste of something delicious to drink?
Let us offer you an espresso or cappuccino, a glass of champagne, a
Scotch on the rocks or a mineral wa-
terits all on hand to refresh and delight you as you shop or
just relax.
And then theres the sense of touchthe marvelous feeling you get
as you slip on a cashmere jacket or a silk dress or a superfi ne
wool suit.
These are all essential parts of what we call the Garmany
Experiencealong with free
shoe shines, free parking, a movie theater for the kids, gift
wrapping and much more.
And fi nally, there are two aspects of which we are especially
proud:
Our staff is helpful, personable, highly knowledgeable about the
ins and outs of dressing well and expert in the brands we carry.
Youll receive exactly the amount of attention youre
looking for. You can browse by yourself or in the company of a
sales associate. If youre in
a hurry, you can shop by appointment; well even pre-select looks
for you and have them
waiting when you arrive.
The garments you choose will be altered by skilled master
tailors for a truly customized fi t.In short, our pledge is to make
you look terrifi c as well as feel good.
We wish you a spring of joy and renewal, and we look forward to
seeing you soon in
our Red Bank store.

ART at GarmanyGarmany has a long-held tradition of stocking our
store with wearable pieces of art, but three years ago, we
intro-duced more conventional art to our offerings. This spring,
windows and store displays will feature the oil paintings of local
artist Joyce Anastasia Urbanski.
Through May 31, her Portraits series will provide an extra layer
of aesthetic pleasure to the Garmany shop-ping experience. The
series features large-scale works that capture women in moments of
quiet contemplation. She depicts her subjects and the bits of
nature around them with loose brush strokes and bright, vibrant
colors that mimic the palettes and textures of some of the best
spring and summer looks.
For more information, contact James Yarosh Associ-ates Fine Art
Gallery in Holmdel; www.jamesyarosh.com.

Fan FareEvery spring brings the long-awaited start of
the MLB season, but opening day also brings
a less welcome phenomenon: bleachers filled
with fans sporting their lucky, grungy, over-
sized jerseys and t-shirts.
Red Jacket clothing designs for that
all-too-rare breed: the fashion-conscious
sports enthusiast. Vintage logos on their
screen-printed t-shirts recall the best parts of
eras past. The all-cotton garments are heav-
ily pre-washed, giving them a softness and
durabilitymeaning theyll last through years of
post-season play, even if your team doesnt.
Etro A-Go-GoIts a family affair at Etro, where Veronica Etro
whips up the womens line and her brother, Kean, is in charge of
the mens. Both designers draw heavily on the companys expertise in
fabrics (Etro got its start
in the Sixties as a textile house) when putting together their
luxe separates and
colorful sportswear.For spring/summer, Kean offers up
witty-yet-wearable jackets and pants done in dapper plaids and
blue-and-gray stripes, with a hot-colored tropical prints option
for those who want it. The womens collection is right on-trend with
a blush-hued palette, but it still features Etro signatures like
lounge-y silk separates and bohemian dresses.
Of course, it wouldnt be Etro without at least a few exotic
prints, and this sea-sons no different. Theres a silk that looks
like the wings of a monarch butterfl y, a swirling,
turquoise-accent paisley and an oversized fl oral with salmon-pink
blos-soms. Even within this kaleidoscope of color, the fi nished
lookfor men as well as womenis still classic and effortlessly
cool.

Vivek Nagrani has no doubt given more thought to mens underwear
than most of its wearers ever have. He made his name as the creator
of V.K. Negrani mens hosiery, woven of the fi nest cotton by small
fac-tories, in bold, striking designsand, by all accounts,
addictive to men whove tried them. Now check out his
thinking-outside-the-brief new styles of mens underwear: Theres the
Woody, a hyper-constructed boxer brief that works well with trim-fi
tted trousers. Its made of Peruvian Pima with lycra, as is the
Johnson, an easy-fi t trunq that offers medium support. Last and,
in a way, least, is the Willy, a tailored trim-fi t model of 100%
Peruvian Pima for the man who enjoys total freedom, according to
Nagrani. Next time youre in the store, stop by the accessories
department to consider an underwear upgrade.

WHAT LIES BENEATH
Trunk shows are a vestige of the early days of apparel
re-tailing, when manufacturers representatives would visit stores
with trunks full of the latest fashions, and store owners would
choose the items that best suited their customers. Nowadays, we go
straight to designers show-rooms in Milan, Naples, New York and
elsewhere to se-lect merchandise for each season. But the trunk
show lives ongiving you the opportunity to see and purchase items
from a designers entire line. Here are some of the trunk shows
coming up at Garmany.
ALL-ACCESS PASS: the trunk show
ALL TRUNK SHOWS ARE ON SATURDAYS FROM 10 A.M. TO 4:30 P.M.

SANTANDREAS uncommon threadsThe Santandrea brand is the result
of a happy union between the venerated Trabaldo Togna textile mill
and Sartoria Saintandrews, a fi rm noted for the skill of its 165
tailors. Trabaldo Togna textile chief Luca Tabaldo Togna bought the
smaller fi rm three years ago and rechris-tened it Santandrea.
Now customers of select establish-ments can experience
top-of-the line menswear produced under Trabaldo Tognas supervision
and made with its exclusive fi ne and super-fi ne fabrics (even the
most avid fashion afi cionados say theyve never felt anything like
them). These are clothes created byand forpeople for whom fi ne
clothing is a pas-sion. It is a great thing to take the time to
look after your style and your wardrobe, which are important to our
well-being, says Luca Trabaldo Togna.
At Garmany, customers can have either ready-to-wear or
made-to-measure items. The delights of made-to-measure are, of
course, manifold: choosing among fabrics and design details, having
a piece created to fi t you with maximum comfort and style. With
Santandrea, theres an unexpected pleasure as well: Unlike with most
brands, there is no additional charge for a made-to-measure or
custom order.

Craving Crab Perfection?Theres an appetizer for thatIts been
called the worlds best crab cake: the pretzel-crusted version
offered by chef/artist/entrepreneur David Burke at Fromagerie in
Rumson. Served with poppy-seed honey and pineapple coleslaw, the
dish beautifully combines spicy, salty, sour and sweet fl avors,
with a bit of crunch to boot. And of course, it looks
beautifulafter all, Mr. Burke is a man who knows quite a bit about
presentation. Here, exclusively for GARMANY readers, he shares the
brilliantly simple recipe for the ultimate crab cake.
DAVID BURKES PRETZEL-CRUSTED CRAB CAKE Ingredients:
Heat the oil in a small saut pan over medium heat. Add the onion
and celery and saut the vegetables for about four minutes, or until
they are soft and translucent. Re-move them from the heat and drain
off and discard the excess oil. Set aside.
Combine the butter and mayonnaise in a large mixing bowl. Using
a hand-held elec-tric mixer or a wooden spoon, beat until the
mixture is well blended and very smooth. Fold in the crabmeat,
chives, lemon zest, Old Bay and cayenne along with the reserved
onions and celery. Cover and refrigerate the crab cake mixture for
15 minutes to chill slightly.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.Remove
the crab cake mixture from the refrigerator. Line one row of Pretz
(about six
pretzels) closely together and top with about cup of crab
mixture. Line the top with the same amount of pretzels (creating a
raft). Dip the open sides of the crab cake in egg white and then
the rice pearls to coat the sides. Place the pretzel-coated cakes
on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly cover with plastic wrap and
refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until the cakes are fi rm.
Heat the clarifi ed butter in a large saut pan over medium heat
until it begins to smoke. In batches, using additional butter as
needed, fry the crab cakes for about 3 min-utes per side, or until
they are golden brown. Place them on paper towels to drain.
Place the crab cakes on a serving platter.
1 tbsp. peanut oil cup fi nely diced onion cup fi nely diced
celery 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 1 cup mayonnaise 2 lbs. lump
crabmeat, picked clean of all shell and cartilage 3 tbsp. minced
fresh chives
1 tbsp. freshly grated lemon zest 2 tsp. Old Bay seasoning Pinch
of cayenne pepper 1 box Pretz pretzel sticks (can be purchased in
Japanese gourmet stores) 2 egg whites cup rice pearls Approx. 1 cup
clarifi ed butter
The Crme de la ClosetAs houses and wardrobes grow, so do the
options for organizing
closets. The latest innovation in clothing storage is the
Virtuoso
line from California Closets, available for now only in select
mar-ketsMonmouth County, fortunately, among them.
Whats different? Well, Virtuoso is a horizontal closet design
concept, with a minimum of vertical lines to break your view as you
gaze at the contents of your walk-in. Its made from your choice of
a line of materials from Italy called Lago, which comes in a range
of colors and is certifi ed as green in Europe.
And why not have a beautiful and low-chemical closet? After all,
you spend time in there every day, Eric Nili, manager of California
Closets in Cranbury, points out. People spend seri-ous time and
money on their wardrobes. They dont want them housed in some
bare-bones closet the builder put up. A well-organized closet has
other benefi ts as well. Some people fi nd items of clothing they
havent seen in years and are so happy to have them back, Nili
reports. Others say, Thanks for giving me more room. Now I can go
shopping! For more information on closet options, call California
Closets at 1-800-229-2567.
Exploring The Feminine FACTORFans of the Philosphy di Alberta
Ferretti line include hot young Hollywood types like Ali Larter,
Emmy Rossum and January Jones. They, like so many women, show off
to best ad-vantage in the type of gauzy, fl oat-y, intricately
detailed cocktail dress for which Philosophy is best known. The
romantic and fun spring collection is highlighted by whimsical
prints of eyes, butterfl ies and lips.
Its been called the type of clothing a woman wears when she
wants to feel like a goddess. Ferretti herself refuses to typecast
the line, saying enig-matically that the name Philosophy indicates
only something that cannot be imposed. Decide for yourself when you
visit the Philosophy selection in Garmanys womens department.

Incotex, maker of luxurious mens trousers, is an Italy-based
line thats focused squarely on the American market. To start, the
customer in the U.S. has a different body than the one in Europe or
Asiagenerally bigger and taller. We had to completely change the
trouser pattern to make it comfortable for our U.S. customer, says
Emilio Paschetto, director of sales for North America for Incotex
parent company Slowear. Even the fabrics
we use are differentsofter and lighter. Those fabrics include
pin corduroys, exclusive lightweight wools and ice gabardine.
For all their focus on materials and fi t, Incotex pants dont
neglect style. We try to be brave and not be boring with cotton, so
we offer fancy colors like pink, light green, French blue, violet
and burgundy, Paschetto says. Often its the brightest colors that
sell the best, because this is what our customers wantthey already
have lots of our trousers in stone and khaki.
And whos buying these light, bright and super-comfortable pants?
Our starting client is maybe around 28, moving up in the world,
says Paschetto. Or our customer could be 65, with a healthy life,
very active. All our customers tend to be cultured and
well-trav-eled. Whatever the age, Paschetto maintains, once hes
buying us, he doesnt go back to other lines. Try the spring line
for yourself and
look for the new Incotex shop at Garmany.
GLOBE-TROTTING GOURMETSummer is the season for fi ery
Southwestern fare and premium tequila, both specialties of The
Copper Canyon restaurant at 51 First Avenue in Atlantic Highlands.
Our tequila tasting events really get rolling this time of year,
says chef and owner Michael Krikorian. Each month, agave fi ends
converge on the restaurant to work their way through six to 10
pairings, such as a sparkling silver tequila with a salty, crunchy
taquito, or a smooth Aejo with notes of cognac accompanied by
something sweet.
Krikorian, who loves to inject tastes of other cultures into his
traditional Tex-Mex plates (think brie topped with a tomato salsa
and served with tortillas) is also branching out with a new sister
restaurant this summer. It has the same small-plates concept, but
were featuring globally eclectic cuisine, he says of the spot,
located a stones throw from the Copper Canyon.Many of the dishes
take their inspiration from foods sold by street vendors in other
countries around the world. Whether youre in the mood for a tequila
fi esta or the taste of a new culture, Chef Krikorian has got you
covered.
Bodacious BLUItalian fashion house Blumarine is for women
who
want to put a sparkle in their stepliterally, as
sequins make their way into nearly every
collection. For spring/summer, the embel-
lishments appear on the necklines of
breezy tie-dye dresses that would look
right at home at a yacht party in the
Mediterranean (no surprise, as the line was
founded by designer Anna Molinari on the
island of Capri).
Molinari knows her customers will
always be the life of the party, so she prepares
them this season with fl irty dresses in
sherbet shades of lemon, tangerine and icy
pink. She also offers separates with safari
touches, like a camoufl age cropped cardi
and khaki cargos with a golden sheen.
Over at Blugirl, the juniors line, there
are plenty more party pieces, including
a pink cocktail dress in the brands
signature leopard print and a mini-
skirt covered in blooming red poppies.
Suffi ce it to say, the woman lucky enough
to slip into these confections is no wallfl ower.

The Art of the Bow TieOnce the domain of the geek and the
oldster, the bow tie is backon the runway, in the offi ce and on
the street. Garmany carries an extensive selection from top makers.
Remem-ber: The key to bow-tie cool is to tie it yourself. You can
do it! Heres how:
1. Slide the tie under your collar. Allow one end of the tie to
hang about two inches lower than the other end.
2. Bring the longer end across the shorter end.
3, Pass the longer end under the shorter end and upward, forming
the fi rst part of the knot. Pull tight to the shirt collar.
4. Form the front loop of the bow by doubling up the shorter,
hanging end and placing it across the collar points.
5. Hold the front loop between your index fi nger and thumb.
Drop the long end down over the front loop.
6. Pass the hanging end under the front loop. Use your index fi
nger to bend the end in the middle (at the widest part), and poke
your fi nger through the open part of the knot. Now you have formed
the back loop of the bow.
7. Gently pull the bow at both folded ends to tighten the knot.
Hint: This is exactly the same knot most people use to tie a
shoelace.
8. Adjust to taste. Smooth bow or dimpled? Loose or tight? You
dont want to be too precise; perfectly imperfect is the look youre
going for.

Elements of MENS STYLE
... in which JOHNELL GARMANY saves us from embarrassing
ourselves
Whats the best-looking thing a man can wear?
A suit, hands-down. It highlights any mans best physical
assets
and camoufl ages imperfections.
People like to say the suit hasnt changed in 100 years, but
thats a massive exaggeration. If I put on a suit from just
10 years ago, I look like a dweeb. Whats changed
recently?
The cut has changed a lot. Todays suit jacket has natural
shoulders with little padding, a narrower shoulder, high
arm holes, a higher button stance, more suppression
at the waist and a shorter jacket length than a suit from
a few years ago. Pants have a slimmer leg and
tend to be worn shorter. This lookthe so-called
modern suithas a more dynamic silhouette
that makes any man look slimmer.
So that explains why my older suits look
so, well, old. What are the style trends in
warm-weather suits and sportcoats?
Lighter construction, for one. Half-lined and
even unlined jackets are being produced by
top makers for the hot months. Lightweight
natural fabricslinen, cotton and silkare
big this season. Patch pockets are popular on
sportcoats and even suit jackets. There have
even been sightings of younger men wearing
double-breasted suitsnot the boxy 1930s style,
but a contemporary, fi tted Italian cut.
How about casual clotheswhats in?
Colorful, patterned button-front shirts are huge. These
party shirts are highly versatile: They can be worn
with shorts, jeans, a sportcoat or even a suit. Graphic
t-shirts are big; dark blue jeans with
minimal distressing; chunky, funky belts;
sneakers with style interest, especially
retro designs; aviator sunglasses. Spring
outerwear piecesespecially vestsare
very popular. Theyre worn for cool,
not for warmth.
Speaking of warmth, whats up with all the sweaters I see
paired with warm-weather sportcoats and suits in the new
collections? Wouldnt a sweater make a guy too warm?
Well, you wouldnt wear a sweater on a hot summer day. But on
a
spring day or a cool summer night, a lightweight sweater wont
make
you boil over. Visually, it has the effect of making a suit or
sportcoat
more casual.
Whats going on with rolled-up trousers?
Youre talking not about cuffed bottoms, but pants worn with the
bot-
tom rolled up. It works with a casual look and only with
slim-legged
pants.
And the idea is to show your ankles?
A little bit, yes. The two trends in ankle wear now are
colorful
socks, like the ones we carry from makers such as Paul Smith
and V.K. Nagrani, and to go sock-less.
You mentioned colorful party shirts. So let me ask
youto tuck or not to tuck?
Tucking is back. The untucked shirt has had almost a decade
of glory, and the pendulum has defi nitely swung. My father,
Larry, is cheering; he never cared for the untucked look.
I fi nd my shirts come untucked on their own and bunch
around my middle. Under a suit jacket, it looks like Im
carrying extra pounds. Any remedy?
Thats an easy one: Buy custom shirts. Trimmer guys, in par-
ticular, benefi t from a custom fi t. Not only will you
eliminate
excess fabric, but the shirt also will stay perfectly
tucked.
Are pocket squares still in?
Totally. And they give you so many options, from the Mad Men
look of a straight-fold, pure white cotton handkerchief to a
brightly
colored, patterned silk square, which can substitute for
a necktie to dress up a sportcoat. This season, the
more colorful, the better.
Is it OK to wear a linen pocket square with a
tuxedo? It seems less formal than silk.
True, linen is less formal, but it is absolutely
correct with a tuxedo. The same goes for cot-
ton. A linen pocket square is also functional.
You could, for example, prove that chivalry isnt
dead by offering your linen hank to a tearful
woman. You couldnt do that with silk.
I like to wear a wrinkle-free suit with a
sharp crease in the pants. Is it OK to dry-
clean my favorite suit once a week?
No. Dont confuse pressing with dry-cleaning.
A suit needs dry-cleaning only three or four times a
seasonits hard on the fabric, and done too often,
will reduce the life of a suit. But you can press a suit
before every wearing, if you like. Find a dry-cleaner
that offers pressing only. Alternatively, you can buy a
home trousers press or simply touch up the suit with
a hot iron. If the fabric is fi ne, such as a wool gabardine,
protect it by using a
pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric.
Clockwise from top:
Rolled pants & bare ankles
from John Varvatos; Etro
party shirts; the new look of
double-breasted, by Canali;
socks by V.K. Nagrani.

THE LOOK FORSPRING & SUMMER
School SpiritKnee socks, preppy stripes and
academic blazers turned spring
2010 runways into pep rallies.
Ralph Laurens classic crested
blazer, penny-loafers from Robert Zur
and Tory Burchs perforated leather skirt
are seemingly school-inspired sepa-
ratesat least, the schooldays we wish
wed had. Schoolgirl chic uniforms are
turning up in soft grays and neutral
tones; strategically placed pleats
and folds give garments shape and
movement. Never mind Septem-
berdesigners find these playful
looks right for any season.
Peek-A-BooThis season, designers incorporate cutouts, high
slits, mesh and lace to give fl irtatious, sexy peeks of skin.
Long slit skirts and dresses in sheer, fl owing fabrics provide
a not-so-subtle hint of leg, while corsets and slips
are turning underwear-as-outerwear into a trend. A Schumacher
silk mini-dress with a deep v-neck and arful draping
shows off the fi gure without showing it all. Roberto Cavalli
and Ports 1961 models fl ounced down the runway wear-
ing sheer, nude-colored evening dresses, while other designers
chose even more suggestive looksplacing bras
over blouses. Unleash your summer sultriness with a fl irty
outfi t that only hints at what lies beneath.
Tribal DreamsTribal worlds engage the creativity of de-
signers, bringing ancient civilizations and
their environments to life in fresh styles
and printsoften inspired by batik or
ikatfor spring. Look to Etro and
Blugirl for bold tribal and ethnic
prints, and Blumarine for classic camou-
flage. Escada shows a sexy zebra-print in
a blouse or dress, while Moschino Cheap
and Chic offers animal prints re-imagined
in turquoise and gray. Tribal and animal
prints have also inspired all kinds of ac-
cessories from head to toe this season,
such as a Magaschoni leopard-print scarf.
MetallicWhether embellishing heels, woven into an
evening gown or tied to a handbag,
a little glitter always does a girl good.
Designers are calling for you to punch
up your wardrobe this season with some shim-
mer and shine. Robert Grahams scoop-neck
tank has rivet details around the neckline, for
instance, and Schumacher is showing a so-
phisticated gold sequin bodice dress. You can
also tap into the trend in a garment with just a
dusting of sequins, or wear metallic acces-
sories. Add some gleaming color with a sexy
Ports 1961 shimmering pink mini-dress or a
blue sequined one-shoulder dress by Blugirl.

Womens FASHION
Show Sheer Confi dence
Sheer fabrics are cool for spring
and summer, in both senses of
the word. Yes, theyre sexy, but in
an elegant way, and they provide
flattering and feminine draping.
Airy gauzes and flowing chiffons
add no bulk to a look, even when
a piece has ruffles, like Escadas
multicolor sheer short-sleeve print
shirt with a ruffle neck. Sheer is
everywhere this season, in jacket
sleeves, pretty printed scarves,
cutout panels in evening dresses
and more. Check out Etros gor-
geous sheer paisley blouse and
scarves or Blumarines sheer
floral-print tunic. You may
choose to wear a lacy bra
or tube top underneath.
You also have the option
of a camisole in a color
thats close to your skin
tone or to the color of the
top.
No color enhances a tanned complexion better
than white. This classic neutral color is a spring/
summer staple, of course, but this season, design-
ers sent models down the runway dressed purely
in white. A Badgley Mischka pants suit, a ruffled
white frock from Collette Dinnigan or a Roberto
Cavalli evening gown give you this seasons
achromatic look. Try creating a stylish outfit
by layering white separates a
sheer flouncy dress by Alber-
ta Ferretti with a lightweight
Schumacher sweater
make this look. If
you like, add a pop
of color with a bright
handbag from Raf or
Mulberry.
Neutral-toned shoes are a must this
season, from cage shoes to perfo-
rated-effect sandals. They go with
everything you own, plus they help
make your legs look wonderfully
long. Platform pumps, like those
from Tory Burch, are especially
hot, as are patent leather
peep-toe pumps from Stuart
Weitzman. Choose a nude
shade thats a close match
to your skin tone,
and wear your new
shoes barelegged
for best effect.
Creamy ecrus
pair nicely with the
buff-colored pieces available
from so many designers this
season (black, white and
buff elements work beauti-
fully together). Of course,
they also look fab with the
florals and sheers so
popular this
season.

at-location consultations to give clients guidance with framing,
placing, and displaying original fine art.

interior designers, and trade clients with fine art selections
appropriate to a multitude of tastes and interests. In addition,
James exhibits the solo public art installations at Garmany in Red
Bank, New Jersey and a custom and decorative line of art available

All of the above services and presentations illustrate the
essential benefits of recognizing and incorporating fine art in the
home as part of the everyday living experience.

So, the brand is Robert Graham, but
youre Robert Stock?
People call me Mr. Graham all the timeIm used it!
I founded the company in 2001 with an English textile
designer whose fi rst name was Graham, so thats
where the name comes from.
Tell us how you got your start in fashion.
My father was my inspiration. He owned a gas station,
so he would work all day and come home with dirty
clothes, hands covered in oil. But he would go into
his room, wash up, change and emerge this different
person. I was amazed by the transformative power of
clothing. He had all his shirts custom-made at a shop
on the Grand Concourse in the Bronx, and I loved
looking at those shirts and
studying the patterns.
Youve been designing
for more than 40
years and helped
launch the Chaps
line with Ralph
Lauren. Why did you
start your own line?
I saw a real need.
Most companies
have a generic shirt
pattern, and then
maybe theyll make
it different by having it in a stripe or a check. But no
one was taking it to the next level.
So what takes a Robert Graham shirt to
the next level?
We design all of our own fabricsevery pattern,
every colorway, every trim. Basically, all the ingredi-
ents are exclusive to us from the start. Then we add
in little extras our customers love to discover, like em-
broidery inside the neckband or trim under the cuff.
Weve taken the shirt and made it into an art form.
What types of customers are drawn to your
designs?
Theyre individuals. They like feeling comfortable in
what they wear, and our clothes fi t well. Also, our
customers know we never do the
same thing twice, so when they
come back next season there will
be something new.
You also have a womens line
and recently expanded into
dress shirts, ties and acces-
sories. Was that in response
to customer requests?
Yes. We consider Robert Graham
to be more of a lifestyle than a
brand. It made sense to expand
but we wouldnt have done it if
we didnt think we could bring
something new to the market.
The fi rst thing our customers do
when they see one of our pieces
is study it closely to fi nd the little
points of differentiation. Its like a
treasure hunt; they go looking for
that golden nugget that makes
the piece special. So we bring that to the new
categories, too. If its a hat, its going to be silk
instead of just cotton, and maybe it has three or
four silks pieced together, not just one.
Is it part of the treasure hunt to
embroider your credo, Knowledge
Wisdom Truth, somewhere on each
of your garments?
We came up with that in beginning
because its how we try to live
our lives. And the saying means
something different to everyone,
just like each of our designs
is unique and makes each
person happy for a different
reason. I like to say we
dont sell clothing; we sell
happiness. You put on our
clothes and you get a good
feeling. Theres nothing better!

Sean Connery on the set of the
1964 fi lm Woman of Straw, in
which he co-starred with Gina
Lollobrigida. In the fi lm, which
came out just after he made it
big as Bond, Connery plotted
to murder his wealthy uncle.
A rare villainous role for him,
it helped cement his sophisti-
cated, sexy image.

Ask the women in your life about Sean Connery, and odds are
theyll confirm that they find him irresistible. The man who
uttered the unforgettable line, The name is Bond James
Bond (in 1962s Dr. No) was voted Sexiest Man of the Century
by People magazine in 1999. Recently, at age 79, the actor
scored 90 percent in Woman Magnetism in an online poll.
Whats Sean Connerys secret? At least to some degree,
he is proof that clothes do make the man, and that urbanity
can be acquired. A foul-mouthed ex-milkman and Mr. Universe
finalist from Edinburgh, Connery was an unlikely choice for
the role of Bond. Producer
Harry Saltzman claimed he
chose Connery for the role
after watching him walk
down the street. But not
only did Ian Fleming him-
self have doubtshe called
Connery a Glaswegian
truck driverso did Dr.
No director Terence Young,
who schooled Connery in
the ways of the well-bred.
Young reputedly made Con-
nery wear a suit around the
clockeven to bedto get
used to the feel.
And get used to it he
did. Connery exuded style
whether sipping a martini
or facing imminent death
by laser beam. He looks
utterly at ease in the sleek
gray suit (narrow notched
lapels, angled slit pock-
ets) he wore in Dr. No, the
seven-stripe glen plaid he
donned in From Russia with Love, the three-piece (complete
with lapelled waistcoat) made famous in Goldfinger. So com-
fortable has he become with fashion that this spring, for
the
eighth year in a row, he hosts the Dressed to Kilt New York
fashion show, created to highlight Scottish designers. And
Louis Vuitton chose him as a style icon for the brands
ongoing
Core Values campaign.
In the end, its not just what Connery wears, but the way
he wears it that makes him the emblem of innate cool. Here
is
a man with presence. From his 007 days to The Hunt for Red
October, in roles ranging
from Indiana Jones father
to a reclusive professor (in
Finding Forrester), he strikes
the perfect balance of sua-
vity and swagger, charm and
confidence. His shoulders
stay squared, his arms are
held slightly away from his
body, his stance is relaxed.
And as Bond, he exempli-
fies the dark triad of traits
study-proven to get the girl:
narcissism, a penchant for
thrill-seeking and an easy
comfort with deceit.
Assuming that in real
life, ConnerySir Sean since
2000is no more egotistical
or deceitful than your aver-
age bloke, how then can we
sum up his enduring appeal?
Venerable film critic Pauline
Kael seems to have nailed it:
Women want to meet him,
and men want to be him.
SEAN CONNERY
Connery is proof that clothes do make the man, and that urbanity
can be acquired.

GET YOUR IRISH UP
| BY M A R K D O W D E N
Beautifully balanced and complex beyond reason, Redbreast is
proof that the best Irish
whiskey is among the best whiskey anywhere
ALTHOUGH THE IRISH ARE SAID to have invented whiskey,
their product gets little attention in a world of
connoisseur-
ship that revolves around Scotch. Its a pityand surely
bound to changebecause Irish whiskey is enjoying a
renaissance. Forget any preconceptions about Irish be-
ing best used to fl avor coffee. Thats a fi ne use for
Jameson, but it would be a waste to mix Red-
breast, Green Spot or Black Bush with any-
thing other than soft water.
The commercial history of Irish
whiskey follows a curious arc. In
the late 19th and early 20th centu-
ries, Irish outsold Scotch around the
globe. Then the industry was hit by
the double-whammy of Prohibition in
the United States and independence
from the United Kingdom. The break
from the U.K. meant that the far-
fl ung Empire market for Irish whiskey
dried up completely and swung over
to Scotch. Irish production crashed
and never recovered.
By the 1960s, only three distill-
eries remained in Ireland. They were
Jameson, Powers and Cork Distill-
ers, which banded for survival into
the Irish Distillers Group. In 1972,
Bushmills in Northern Ireland joined
the IDG. The members bought into
the strategy of making a product as
unlike Scotch as possible, and so
all Irish whiskey for a time was un-
peated, triple-distilled (Scotch is dis-
Redbreast is a pure pot still spirit, the most traditional style
of Irish whiskey. Its
distinctive flavor profile is reminiscent of the best Speyside
Scotch.

tilled twice), smooth and, many Scotch lovers
would say, bland by comparison.
The IDG closed its three historic distilleries
and in 1975 opened the New Midleton Distillery
in County Cork. Thus there came to be a single
licensed distillery, albeit a massive one, in all of
the republic, plus Old Bushmills in the North.
Today the Midleton facility is owned by Pernod
Ricard (yes, the French control most Irish whis-
key), while Old Bushmills is owned by the other
global beverage giant, Diageo. A third player,
Cooley Distillery, opened in 1987independent
and Irish-owned, by God! In addition to its plant
in County Louth, Cooley recently reopened the
Old Kilbeggan distillery, which had been shut-
tered for more than half a century.
This brings the number of Irish distilleries
to only four todaycompare that to 90 in Scot-
landbut these four are producing an impres-
sive range of whiskey styles. The three main
categories are malt, single grain and pure pot
still, the latter a unique Irish style made from
a mash of malted and unmalted barley. Most
Irish brands are blends, and some combine
two or all three of these styles. Heres an over-
view of the brandscape:
Midleton Distillery produces Jameson and
Jamesons premium reserve range (of which
there are currently six expressions), Powers
and Midleton Very Rare, which is vintage-dat-
ed. These brands are all blends of pot still and
grain spirit. Also made at Midleton are Paddy
and Tullamore Dew, which add malt whiskey to

MARK DOWDEN , a native of Kentucky who was educated at the
University of St. Andrews, is a fan of all whiskey.
TASTING NOTES
REDBREAST 12-YEAR-OLD IRISH WHISKEY
COLOR | Deep amber
NOSE | Spice cake, nuts, sherry, cream soda, meadow fl owers and
grass, honey, cherries,
linseed oil, rye-like overtones.
PALATE | Silky mouthfeel, with tastes of ginger cake and treacle
sponge, malt, butter, maple
syrup, a hint of cinnamon. Its simultaneously redolent of a
Vermont breakfast and a sticky
English dessert. Sweet but not cloying.
FINISH | Oily, spicy and long, with honey, sherry and
licorice.
PRICE | $50
These pot stills at the sprawling Midleton Distillery
produce brands ranging from Jameson to Redbreast.
The old water wheel (right), which dates to 1825
and once provided the power for all distillery opera-
tions, is still turning today. The map below shows the
four extant distilleries in all of Ireland.

the blend, and two pure pot still whiskies, Redbreast
12-year-
old and Green Spot.
Old Bushmills produces triple-distilled malts
under the Bushmills brand (including Black
Bush, which is blended with Midleton
grain whiskey and has a sherried fi nish)
and post-1994 vintages of Knappogue
Castle single malt.
The leading brand from Cooley,
which specializes in reviving old
styles and marks, is Connemara, a
peated single malt that seems un-
Gaelic but in truth harks back to the
golden age of Irish whiskey. Cooley
also makes the superb Tyrconnell
unpeated single malt; Kilbeggan,
a blend; and Greenore, the only
Irish single grain whiskey.
Not long ago, I uncorked
a bottle of Redbreast, the pure
pot still spirit frequently cited
as Irelands best. Pure pot still
as a style has a characteristically
oily mouthfeel and a distinctive
fl avor profi le. Theres no mistaking
Redbreast for an American whiskey,
although it is plenty sweet. You might well
peg it for a Speyside Scotch, given the fruit and fl oral
notes.
Displaying tremendous complexity on the nose and palate, this
whiskey
requires some quiet time (in my case, by the fi reside during a
snowstorm)
for one to plumb the developing aromas and tastes.
There is ripe fruit on the nose, some sherry and vanilla, and a
resin-
ous, linseed-like tang. I also found a pleasing note of rye
spice, although
no rye is used in the mash. Redbreast is positively fat on the
tongue. Roll
it around the mouth, and all kinds of fl avors
come welling upmalt, ginger, toffee, even
cinnamon. The fi nish is long and oily,
with a faint licorice tail.
All of this mouth drama comes
as an exceptional value. If you
drink much single-malt Scotch,
you may have noticed that prices
have shot skyward in the past
two years, fi nancial crisis be
damned. Redbreast 12-year-old,
by comparison, is a great deal at
about $50 per bottle. (I should add
that the same is true of some of the
best bourbons.)
Does it get any better? Well,
yes: Redbreast 15-year-old is com-
ing. This older expression, which
was only released once, in very
limited quantities, in Europe, will be
available in the United States this fall.
Meantime, fi nd yourself a bottle
of the 12-year-old and raise a glass to
County Corks pure pot still perfectionists.
As they say over there, Up Cork!

it can teach you that your unique perspec-
tive doesnt have to isolate you, but can
endear you to others. While that first jump
seems daunting, do trust that many friends
are on the next level waiting to applaud you.

All eyes will be on you as you hit an awe-
inspiring stride. Expect the best in love as
well as career. While both will be equally
fulfilling for you now, recognize that this
good fortune wasnt handed to you on a
silver platter. Not only did you work to
deserve this golden period, youve been
long overdue for it too. Take the time to
spoil yourself rotten.

to give yourself a break. Remember, you
are the game. Without you, there is noth-
ing, so you wont miss a thing if you lay
low to reconsider and regroup. In fact,
this temporary withdrawal will only add to
your mystique. The insights you find dur-
ing this phase will give you a perspective
so fresh that you may never turn back.

It will take extra effort to convince oth-
ers of your ideas, as competing authority
figures will be out to undermine you. Since
you arent the type to take opposition lying
down, its time to dig deeper for that in-
novative gold nugget. Dont be hesitant to
embrace even the most out-there ideas. At
this time, the more you stretch, the better
your chance of hitting a home run.
