Tom Hardy isn't known as a fashion guy, but the actor does have a strong sense of personal style. Recently, he's hit the red carpet in three-piece suits that caught the attention of an Esquire editor in the U.K. He tracked down the details of Hardy's new favorite fashion label; you've certainly heard of the company. They make great stuff that nearly every guy—not just a world-famous actor—can pull off.

The MobLand actor has found his red-carpet uniform. |
So what to do? If you're Hardy, you turn to the kind of suit maker that you wouldn't necessarily expect to see in the Bond universe. You sprint and leap across the roofs of Savile Row and fall into the arms of Ralph Lauren—or, more specifically, the brand's heritage workwear line: Double RL. During his latest two red-carpet appearances, for Havoc and MobLand, the actor turned up in three-piece suits from the label. The first was an unconstructed khaki canvas jacket with a linen-cotton vest underneath, doubled up with a notch and peak lapel combo. We're not sure if the shirt, tie, and boots are also from Double RL, but we wouldn't bet against it. A few weeks later, at the MobLand premiere in London, he was once again decked out in the brand: This time it was a pinstripe indigo three-piece with a 1930s-flavored chain fob. |

"We're about to drink through all the world wars and the Great Depression," Zev Glesta says, gingerly tugging on a metal tamper proof ring adhering the cap to a bottle of 1932 Old Grand Dad 16-year bourbon. The metal seal is particularly tricky and Glesta, Sotheby's assistant vice president of whiskey for North America, jokes about perhaps needing pliers to wrestle it off. "Who knew they did such a good job at these early seals?" he says, finally freeing the cap. For the first time in nearly 100 years, this deep-amber bourbon, distilled in 1917, meets air. Next, it meets my lips. |

Bono is many things—a rock 'n' roll salesman and an activist, a showboat and a charmer, a campaigner and a lightning rod. After thirteen years with a white-knuckle death grip on the steering wheel of their career, Bono finally learned how to take a breath. He embraced long lunches and late nights. Quality time with his wife and kids. And some partying too. "House parties, dance parties, our mates," as he recalls of the early days' scene. Bono flourished, finding lightness in himself for the first time in a long time. Maybe even ever. The last several years have been a time of recovery and reckoning for Bono, who turned sixty-five this spring. But as much introspection as Bono may have done here by the Mediterranean, it's not in his nature to sit idle or live in the past. U2 is in the studio working on songs—perhaps the band's first album of new music in nearly a decade—and his excitement about the material is palpable. |
