Great story, how do you know his suits are A&S?

Posted about this in another thread. Sad. Spring isn't going to be the same without his loud voice and carrot-juice stained cuffs.

He passed away? Very sad. I've seen this guy in person but it was before I knew anything about clothing. What kind of shoes did he wear?

One question. Do you really think he supported himself by selling potato peelers? Or he was already wealthy?

i dont see why not, he was probably making a killer markup on each one, and he had a great audience.

Says in the article that his apartment was left to him by one of his wives.

There is a short list of small timers that are honorary big timers...this man qualifies. May he RIP.

I'm the proud owner of one of his peelers.

RIP.
