It does wonders for clothes. That sort of thing doesn't seem to be much in fashion these days. I still miss Peck; he was just as arresting as an elderly gentleman as he was as a young man.

Peck definitely seems older and more sophisticated than Tom Rath is in the book, but I could hear the Peck's great voice speaking Rath's words. The book mentions gray flannel suits a few times.

I don't know exactly what it says about us today that we would find his gray flannel oppressively heavy: modern worsteds are woven much finer than the ones Peck, Bogart, and Grant wore. So why do we always look so inferior in our more elegant suits? Gregory Peck did know how to step out.

Just so versatile. I like to have both a light grey and a mid grey and mix and match the jacket with the pants. I agree Gregory Peck should be acknowledged much more for his sartorialness (Is that a word?). Check Jack Lemmon also in the Apartment. Great fitting suits. Great film. Just a great era.
