When Barry Switzer resigned as football coach at the University of Oklahoma in 1989, book publishers saw his story as the stuff of which best-selling autobiographies are made. As the Sooners' coach for 16 seasons, Switzer had felt the highs of three national championships and 12 Big Eight titles. He had also experienced, in late 1988 and early '89, the lows of NCAA probation and a variety of criminal charges involving his players.

Men are showing signs of renewed interest in "dressing" these days, and old-school tailors are breathing a collective sigh of relief. For this elite group, fewer torn jeans, baggy fits and Hawaiian shirts in the landscape means a better world. "There was a time I really thought about retiring and giving it all up because the old guys were disappearing," says Jack Taylor, the legendary Beverly Hills tailor who suited up the likes of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Danny Thomas.

The familiar names roll off his tongue. But Jack Taylor is not speaking in the ordinary manner of the name dropper.

The nicest man in the world."
