There was obviously only one Warner Brothers costume employee who worked on ‘REBEL’ and died later, in Japan, working on SAYONARA in 1957.

Best remembered for his star-making turn as disaffected outcast Jim Stark in the 1955 film, Rebel Without a Cause , and for his whirlwind life that was cut short at just 24 years of age, the casual cool of James Dean still looms large over the popular consciousness. With this in mind, there are several style lessons to be learned from this bad-boy of the silver screen–and despite being outside the typical mold for an entry in this series, we believe he can still unquestionably be considered a Gentleman of Style. Early Life – From Indiana Farm Boy to Aspiring Actor Since its establishment in October 1775, the United States Navy has grown and developed exponentially over the last 120 years. From the ashes of the Civil War, where maritime warfare was put to the test, to the vast campaigns of the Spanish American War, the beginnings of the Twentieth Century saw the rise of a modern navy. Preppy– as mentioned before the Harrington is a preppy staple. One can wear them with chinos , a polo shirt and boat shoes or replace the Polo with a button down shirt and throw in a bow tie , also one can replace the chinos with shorts ( without the bow tie ) . Early adopters often wore it with a Fred Perry T-shirt but only brand victims care about the label. I suggest you always look for quality, cut and design first.The classic G9 outer shell is made of a poly-cotton blend that is water repellent though I also enjoy pure cotton. You can also find corduroy, leather and all kind of other materials nowadays. The confident exterior masking a sensitive interior that Dean brought to Rebel Without a Cause would influence musicians like Elvis Presley.

James Dean, Bruce Springsteen and The Ramones figure among other contributors to the Perfecto’s myth, though there was always a “middleman between us and them,” continues Schott. The company doesn’t own any of the iconic celebrity-related models, but occasionally borrows them for special occasions, such as for a retrospective exhibit in New York for its 100th anniversary last year. The celebrations also saw the opening of the firm’s first store in the city since the 1940s. “A couple were painted by Keith Haring, one was painted by Jean-Michel Basquiat…It’s important for them to go out and live a life and then for us to reacquire them,” says Schott. A month after his death, James Dean's second film Rebel Without A Cause was released. Though Dean's career was only beginning to take off, the young star's broody portrayal of protagonist Jim Stark combined with his untimely death catapulted Dean's persona into mythical status.

Under Roosevelt’s administration, the US Navy became the second largest seaborne fighting force in the world (second only to the Royal Navy). But, while the Navy’s power continued to expand, the uniforms of its sailors were still very much of the old school. Using wool as the main source of insulation for colder climates and cotton for cooler environments, the appearance of a US Navy sailor was formal and traditional, with work uniforms not being what they were thirty years later. James Dean's influence can still be spotted today in pop lyrics from artists like Taylor Swift ("Style") and Lana Del Rey ("Blue Jeans"), movies like Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, and of course, the old classic James Dean pictures that still capture the public's imagination.
