What do your neighbours think of their local film star?

After the first 40 seconds of curiosity, I would have shut the blinds quietly and baricaded myself inside
Michael, I think we have the same issue with our overcoats: the breast pocket is too shallow and the gloves keep falling out. Tailors tend to make it the same size as on a coat. I've given up on using mine, until I get the tailor to make it deeper.

Michael,

apart from the fact that every single piece of clothing visible in this short sequence fits your body and (much underrated, I think) mind incredibly well and simply conveys quality in a quiet, very elegant way, I was especially fascinated by the texture and knot of your scarf. Is it silk? If so, it must be a quite heavy one.

Many are perplexed, but others are now watching DWS and offer me precious advice.

Costi,

Actually the pockets are fine. I leave the gloves blossoming forth on purpose. The lionesses seem to like it.

SG, Thanks very much. The scarf is actually a very old cashmere in a camel color.

There definitely is a resemblance with Henry Fonda:
