Sartorial has been in use since the time of Beau Brummell. As the arbiter of 19th Century men's fashion in Britain, the word likely passed his lips more than once.

It comes from the Latin sartor, meaning tailor.

Considering my 'closet' now encompasses five rooms, you could say sartorial style interests me too much.

Thinking of sartorial, I recently read an article praising Cary Grant's grey suit in North By Northwest as the greatest suit in movies. I can't dispute it. Despite being made in the 1950's, the suit is classic and timeless. Grant went to his own Savile Row tailor at Kilgour, French, and Stanbury to have the suit made. This one suit is the basis for James Bond's wardrobe.

The suit looked very familiar. I went looking through my clothes, and there it was; inside the jacket was the Kilgour, French, and Stanbury label. It was made many years later, but it was the same style and color suit.
