But itвЂ™s not often the past gets recreated in the future and thatвЂ™s exactly what the trio behind the Rat Pack From Vegas are doing. Though the original store on Vine Street near Sunset Boulevard is now closed, you can visit Sy Devore now in Studio CityВ where they continue to carry on the great tailor's tradition.ItвЂ™s natural for us to hold onto the past, after all, as human beings weвЂ™re sentimental creatures. Part of the appeal of these men is also their great friendship they enjoyed spending time with one another at Sy's store after dining and drinking at the nearby Brown Derby. It is no wonder that every man in the universe still wants to emulate them. Even his casual wear was influential and included sweaters, such as Joey Bishop's signature sweaters throughout Ocean's 11, that alternated between adding exciting pops of color to an outfit to making a monochromatic long, lean silhouette. Being body conscious, these suits were made of soft wools and silks so they felt as good as they looked. Even Lawford's stylish brother-in-law, President John F. Sidney Poitier, Richard Burton, and Rock HudsonВ were among those befriended by the Rat Pack and who followed their sartorial lead. Even 5'11'В Dean preferred that his neckline end a little bit higher to maximize the effect.ДЄs a result of his design innovations, Devore dressed the hottest men of Hollywood. Though the men ranged in size from 5'3' (Davis) to 5'8' (Sinatra) to nearly 6' (Lawford), each one wanted to look his long and leanest. Devore also used other tailoring tricks that elongated the body, such as buttons that started lower on the jacket and eliminating cuffs on the trousers. In addition, he made his lapels much more narrow.Sinatra, in particular, preferred ones that were exactly 2 1/4' wide. Then of course his suits were custom tailored to a T for clients. The boxier cut of 1950s suiting was quickly being replaced with those like his that were all cut closer to the body. He should be credited with many modernizations in American menswear. Devore was already outfitting the Rat Pack offscreen and making a real impact when it came to changing men's style. But the men's suiting is courtesy of Los Angeles tailor Sy Devore. Costume designer Howard Shoup created the clothes for the ladies in the film and also oversaw everything in the production. Of course the real style story of Ocean's 11 are those iconic suits. But these are smooth criminals.with a suave style that applies to both the heist itself and how they look while (hopefully) getting away with millions. Nevertheless, the odds are seriously stacked against Ocean's 11 both during and after the heist we are reminded just who owns these casinos with a cameo by George Raft. In fact, Danny is accused by his estranged wife Bea (Angie Dickinson) of only being interested in danger. Even a caper such as this pales in comparison to those situations they have already survived. Danny Ocean (Sinatra), and the others are extraordinarily resourceful men. These are no ordinary veterans either.we learn they are part of the decorated 82nd Airborne, which faced the most challenging operations of the war such as the Normandy invasion and Battle of the Bulge.

Most of the story of Ocean's 11 takes place on New Year's Eve as a platoon of World War II veterans set out to rob five Las Vegas casinos-the Sahara, Riviera, Desert Inn, Sands, and Flamingo-all in the course of one night. Ocean's 11 is what shared their style with the world. The lifestyle of this band of brothers-girls, gambling, drinking, and what a wardrobe-was already in place when Lawford discovered and bought the film rights to this story. The marquee at the Sands casino, perhaps their favorite venue in Las Vegas, would even post 'Dean Martin - Maybe Frank Sinatra - Maybe Sammy Davis Jr.' before a show. Offscreen this close group included some of the greatest singers of all time, known for their slightly tipsy and spontaneous performances in Vegas where one would be booked and the others would follow.all the way up onto the stage. Of course I'm talking about The Rat Pack-Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, Joey Bishop, and Sammy Davis Jr. Credit this toВ director Lewis Milestone's 1960 classic Ocean's 11,В a film that centers on a New Year's Eve heist in Las Vegas orchestrated byВ some of the most marvelous Men of StyleВ ever. Say these five little words to almost any man and watch as you evoke a near Pavlovian rush of adrenaline and excitement.
