- Synopsis:
A good suit has many lives, and if a suit could talk it would tell the story of Jack Taylor. Take a nostalgic and intimate look at an American icon and a dying breed in 'Jack Taylor of Beverly Hills'. For more than sixty years Jack Taylor has dressed the stars, including Cary Grant, Dean Martin, Sid Caesar, Frank Sinatra and even Elvis Presley. Indeed, it was Taylor's threads that established the fashion trends of the Rat Pack. Jack Taylor's custom-made suits have stood the test of time, an always fashionable and enduring symbol of status. This documentary captures precious hours recently spent in Jack's dynamic presence. Through candid interview footage and evocative vintage video and stills, the film documents the colorful life of Jack Taylor, who in his nineties still works every day with as much precision, wit and panache as ever. He is the consummate craftsman, measuring, custom-fitting and perfecting suits made out of the finest material - suits that have brought out the best in men's fashion. 'Jack Taylor of Beverly Hills' is more than the story of a fashion pioneer; it is a bittersweet portrayal of old Hollywood, detailing the demise not only of custom tailoring, but of an era. - Actors:
