I KNEW IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO RAISE MY STYLE game late last year, when my friend John asked me to officiate at his wedding. Attending a wedding is a good excuse to pick up a new suit, but for the officiant, there's almost no excuse not to. I knew it would be a roomful of stylish people, so I wanted something that would give me confidence. I knew the pressure would be high, so I wanted something I'd be comfortable in. And I will level with you: I wanted to upstage the groom just enough.
So I went searching. With each subsequent suit I tried on, I realized that love at first sight is absolutely real. Because it was the first suit I saw-the Soho, by Paul Smith, in a burgundy color that could pass for purple or a rich brown depending on the light-that had me hooked. It called out to me. No, it suited me.
The price tag was $1,595. Sure, I wanted the right suit. My Suit. My investment in looking damn good. But I'll admit that I-accustomed to the deflated price of a Decent Suitwinced ever so slightly.

I TAKE THINGS in stride. Maybe a lot of it is maturity. When I was a lot younger, in my late twenties, I was a tyrant.
the book of denzed
He has lived a big life. Tough streets, close calls, a wife of forty-one years, four kids, fifty movies, two Oscars, three Equalizers...all by the grace of God. For the first time on the occasion of Gladiator II, one of the biggest films of his epic career, and his approaching seventieth birthday the man himself breaks it all down, in his own words, to the moments that mattered and the experiences that made him. He has lived a big life, but Denzel Washington ain't done yet.
