"      &amp;quot;I essentially write like a tailor,&amp;quot; Gay Talese says at one point in the video above.&amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s very methodical, it&amp;#039;s very careful\u2026 I have a sense of design before I even put a needle in my work.&amp;quot; The legendary journalist (and Esquire writer) is talking, here, about how he&amp;#039;s carried the sense of style and the general approach to one&amp;#039;s work that he learned from his father \u2014 an Italian immigrant and tailor by trade \u2014 through to his chosen profession. &amp;quot;My idea as a writer is to make the stitching last. The writing, the shape of the story, the seriousness with which it is approached, the sense of craftsmanship \u2014 I have all that. But it&amp;#039;s out of tailoring.&amp;quot; Revelatory words from one of the great writers of the modern age. And one of the best-dressed. Talese&amp;#039;s suit collection is the stuff sartorial dreams are made of, both expansive and exceptionally well-made. It&amp;#039;s on view, in part, in the video, along with his hats (&amp;quot;A man isn&amp;#039;t fully dressed if he doesn&amp;#039;t have a hat on&amp;quot;) and shoes. It&amp;#039;s enough to spark envy, yes, but also, hopefully, the impulse to emulate his particular brand of refinement and style. We should all aspire to be a little bit more like Gay Talese. Thanks to Particle Media for capturing this for all of us to enjoy. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
