Clean cut, slicked back hair and piercing blue eyes, American actor Paul Newman (1925-2008) was an all American golden boy globally recognized and universally admired. The son of European immigrant parents, Newman dominated the silver screen but was also known for his sense of style.
Newman embodied American Ivy or preppy style, from slim ties and sleek suit jackets to pull over knit sweaters worn with button down dress shirts. When it came to suits, Newman preferred darker, more conservative charcoal gray or navy suits with flap pockets and notched lapels.
Knot Standard’s Madison Charcoal Birdseye Suit is reminiscent of Newman’s sleek, effortless style. Made from Super 110s wool from renowned Italian mill Vitale Barberis Canonico, this classic men’s suit comes with a skinny notch lapel and can be customized to include J Press style flap pockets. Don’t forget a high quality men’s watch for a final bit of polish.
