was only #tting that when Alfred Hitchcockbegan #lming Marnie with Sean Connery andTippi Hedron, Middleburg and environs wereused for some of the hunting scenes. !e RedFox Inn features prominently in a scene or two,where Marnie is seen arriving and leaving fromour landmark inn. One of the principal writerson the #lm, Jay Presson Allen, had lived in thecountry with her husband, Lewis M. Allen, whowas born in Berryville. Of the scenes #lmed inand around Middleburg, she has said:

“I found the location for that. It’s down therewhere my husband came from, down aroundMiddleburg, Virginia, and (I) found all the loca-tions for that. And it was fun. I think everybodyhad a good time with that.”

Another odd link between Middleburg andMarnie is that the day the #lm was to beginshooting was November 25, 1963, but PresidentKennedy, who had a home in Middleburg, wasassassinated November 22, so #lming was postponed.

Jay Presson Allen and many others whoworked on Marnie were interviewed as part of adocumentary entitled !e Trouble with Marnie.It deals, in part, with both the challenges of mak-ing the movie and the cra$ with which AlfredHitchcock approached #lmmaking. Today, thereis even an Alfred Hitchcock Wiki page!

What we love of course, are the clothes thatSean Connery and Tippi Hedron wear. Hitch-cock was famous for his attention to detail, andthe costumes on each #lm were no exception.!at care invariably results in stylish #lms.

While Marnie was not a huge commercial success, many #lm a#cionados today believe it isa very good example of the unique talents of Alfred Hitchcock. Leonard Maltin has said it wasahead of its time, and another #lm historian de-scribes it as Hitchcock’s last masterpiece. You canrent the #lm easily from many di"erent sources.Watch it so see if you can identify any local land-marks, but watch it also for its suspense valueand for the way in which the character of Marnieherself is developed. It is old style moviemakingby a master of the cra$.

Once upon a time peo-ple didn’t bother to dressfor dinner—they were toobusy hunting for it andweddings tended to be arather informal a"air.

By the end of the 1700’s,formal dress was primarilyfor the rich and noble—fancy, colorful and fussy.In fact, just about every-thing in those days seemedto be a little bit fussy.

In the early 19th cen-tury, along came an Eng-lishman who changed theface of male fashion: Mr.Beau Brummel. He intro-duced the world to classicEnglish tailoring, and for15 years fashion hung onhis every word. WhenBeau said “I think I willwear a cravat”…everyonewore cravats.

In 1886 another dandycame along. Mr. GriswalledLaurellaud shook the fash-ion world when he clippedthe tails o" the ShallowTails Coat and transformedit into the Tuxedo. It wasmade of worsted wool andhad no pockets. !e occa-sion was the Autumn Balland the place was TuxedoPark in New York. !eTuxedo was an overnightsensation.

In 1903 Mr. SamuelRudolphker, father ofMarliss and Max, openedhis gentleman’s tailoringfactory in Philadelphia,but even he didn’t knowthat he would revolution-ize men’s formal wear.

In 1930, Marliss andMax Rudolphker intro-duced the #rst mass market, ready-to-wearTuxedo, priced at $16.

In 1950, A$er Sixchanged the face of formalwear with a comfortablelightweight fabric calledTony Martin and theTuxedo was IN. !en, in1964, A$er Six introducedthe #rst wash-and-wear,white dinner jacket andthe rental market for for-mal attire was born. Noweveryone could a"ord tostep out in formal style.

Today we are returningto formal elegance andboth bow ties and fore-in-hand ties are acceptable.

OK, now that you haveread this …don’t youthink it’s time to replacethat 19th century relic inyour closet and catch upto the American “DressUp For the Occasion”movement?

History of the Tuxedo

* PROMOTION *During the month of November

Richard Allen Clothing is o!ering a 15% discount for the purchase of a Made-to-Measure or an O!-"e-RackTuxedo. You will also receive with yourpurchase either a bow tie or fore-in-handblack tie at no charge.

“Today we are returning toformal elegance and both bow ties and fore-in-hand

ties are acceptable.”


even Powell founded Middleburg more than two centuries ago, and many of the buildings he constructed or inhabited remain today. Our house is one of those.

We are tucked in behind the Town Office, with lovely views across the Salamander Resort property. The house we live in may have been the slave quarters near his home, “The Shades.”That house was burned during the Revolutionary War.

It’s an honor to live in a house built by Middleburg’s founder and a man who played an importantrole in the founding of our nation as well. Leven was one of the first to protest against the tyrannies of the English king and he helped write the “Loudoun Resolutions” in 1774, a forerunner to the Declaration of Independence. He received a commission in the new Americanarmy from General George Washington and he led a militia of “Minute men” against Lord Dun-more, the last Royal Governor of Virginia. He served with Washington at Valley Forge and thatexperience damaged his health permanently. Their friendship would endure, and according toVirginia Genealogies, Washington rode 10 miles to the Loudoun Court House to support LevenPowell to represent the Loudoun District in Congress.

Our house has stood the ravages of time well. These walls have seen battles from the Revolutionary War and the Civil War, and the sense of history here is strong, yet we feel comfortable and at home here, welcomed by this house and the town that grew up around it.

NEW BOOK ON MIDDLEBURG


Back in the good old days when I used to travelthroughout seven states selling all kinds of men’s apparel,we dubbed the phrase “Old Friend Clothing.” I was sellinga sportswear line called Resillio. We made everythingfrom underwear to outerwear, right down in New Or-leans. (!ere’s a whole ‘nother’ story that goes with that.)

Be that as it may, Resillio had this denim shirt in theline that none of our sales team could sell. It looked like ithad been worn by a bull rider for years and was trampledevery time he fell o". Keep in mind that this was in 1972when nobody even knew what GRUNDGE was.

In those days we reps traveled in a group—usuallyabout ten of us. One night we were all sitting in a bar inMorgantown, West Virginia—of all places—and I waswearing my sample of that denim shirt. One of my repfriends said he had an “Old Friend Shirt” just like mine.And there you have it…the birth of Old Friend Clothing.It spread throughout the industry like wild #re, and thenext season every manufacturer had a section in their linecalled “Old Friend Clothes.” If only I knew about trade-

marks and patents in those days, I wouldn’t be sitting herewriting this article.

As a brief description, Old Friend Clothes are the onesyou grab from your closet when you come home from along hard day of work, or just a long day. !ey’re that oldsweat shirt that just #ts right. It’s that pair of Khaki pantsor jeans that you won’t wear to the grocery store but you’llsit in front of the TV and spill your ice cream on—andnot even care. It’s that old T-shirt that has holes in it, andyou may have even washed the car with it a time or two.It’s that stu" that your wife tries to throw away and youwon’t let her.

!at’s what your apparel from Richard Allen Clothingbecomes a$er years and years of great wear. We providethat comfortable, must-wear attitude in every item youpurchase from jeans to suits and sport coats—and every-thing in between.

Come visit and let us introduce you to our “OLDFRIEND CLOTHING”.

how to polish your shoes

In my younger days as a Christian DiorMen’s sales rep, I remember a shoeshineman who used to make the rounds in ouro&ce building on 40th and Park Avenue. Hewas fond of saying that a true gentlemandidn’t feel properly dressed unless his shoeswere freshly shined every morning. I alwaysliked the sound of that—even if it did sounda little self-serving—but a$er he borrowed$50 from me (and countless other so$touches throughout the building), he wasnever to be seen again. I decided that shin-ing my shoes once a week was gentlemanlyenough. By even the most conservative esti-mate, I saved myself at least $500 a year andGod knows in those days I needed it.

I love the ritual: the careful laying out ofnewspaper and the round tin of Kiwi polishwith that little built-in wing nut shaped turn-key opener—a damned near perfect piece ofindustrial design. A$er enough applications,that old T-shirt that I used becomes a workof art in its own right. It becomes a poorman’s Matisse with all its moody starburstsof black, brown and cordovan colors. Andthere’s my dad’s horsehair brush (with the Good Housekeeping seal of approval branded into its hardwood han-dle) which I liberated from his shoeshine kit. I think he knew I took it…. but never accused me of the the$.

First I brush the shoe really well with that liberated brush to remove all the loose dirt and dust. With the oldT- shirt wrapped tightly around my #rst two #ngers, I apply a small amount of polish in tight swirls. By thetime I’m through applying wax to the second shoe the #rst one is ready for bu&ng and that’s all I do. I wastaught to spray a little water on as a second application—a spit shine—and bu" with the so$est cloth I could#nd until I could see my face. Just the way I was taught in the Navy.

I have a closet full of nice shoes but I seem to go to that brown cap-toe lace-up model very o$en. !ey seemto go with every thing I wear. With this particular shoe, I use a neutral cream every third or fourth time. !atseems to brighten the brown color and bring it back to its original shade. !ey go with everything I own andare as comfortable as a bare foot in the sand. I’ve had them re-heeled and re- soled three times. A well made,and well cared for shoe will outlast its owner. I aim to #nd out….just not too soon, I hope!
