The superpower of keeping whites white isn’t one I have.

But it turned to be too heavy, so he started wearing it in the winter. And that’s how it started.</p> <p>Thank you for sharing. I saved the first picture of him with his Jack Russell. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tom-wolfe-the-writer-in-the-white-suit#post-1919800 Wed, 16 May 2018 12:09:00 +0000 Murph11 1919800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is awesome!

Talk about a signature style that really conveys who you are, how you write, what you desire to project:</p> <p>“Almost always appearing in a bespoke white suit — often accessorized with a printed tie, colored pocket square, and white hat — Wolfe cultivated his signature look with as much care and imagination as he crafted his vivid prose.”</p> <p>Photos range from 1966-2017. </p> <p><a href="http://ew.com/books/tom-wolfe-white-suits" rel="nofollow">http://ew.com/books/tom-wolfe-white-suits</a> </p>
