RIP
One of the greatest dandies, writers, journalists of our time, or anytime, left us today.
He will be missed.
Cheers

I had been in the process of making Tom a suit. Despite his body being in decline, his mind and eyes were of a young man. I last saw him about 3 months ago at his apartment in NYC. It was an honor to spend time with him and to listen to the way his mind works.
