Saturday 5/24 Edition: Hang Your Hat: For Sale Brooklyn’s Priciest Home to Date – $32 Million Penthouse
A condo penthouse in Brooklyn Heights just went on the market for a whopping $32 million, the highest asking price ever in Brooklyn.
The sellers are Stuart Leaf, founder of Cadogan Management hedge fund, and his wife, Claire Silberman Leaf, a philanthropist and former lawyer, according to The Brooklyn Eagle.
The home was originally three units that the Leafs renovated and turned into one massive home.
The 11,000-square-foot penthouse has 14 rooms, including six bedrooms and six full baths — most with views of the Brooklyn Bridge Park, Statue of Liberty, and downtown New York City.
If the home sells for anywhere near its asking price, it will easily surpass Brooklyn’s current most expensive home sale, the $12.5 million Truman Capote home at 70 Willow Street.
The home is listed by Sotheby’s International Realty:
Welcome to the penthouse at One Brooklyn Bridge Park.
It has spacious foyers decorated with colorful and eclectic art.
And the landscaped terrace is right off the oversized living room, making it perfect for parties.
The deck offers amazing views of southern Manhattan.
As you can see, the owners were fans of quirky and playful decor.
Here is their eat-in chef’s kitchen.
The view from the kitchen is spectacular, as well.
The formal dining room comfortably seats 14 people.
The wine cellar holds 3,500 bottles.
And here is another room that looks like a hangout for the kids with colorful walls and a flat-screen TV.
There is also a private guest suite, which has its own office space.
And here is one of the five other bedrooms that play off the scenic East River.
Meanwhile, the master suite comes with his and her closets and a workout room.
The closets are wood-paneled and huge.
And their state-of-the-art marble bathroom isn’t so bad either.
Their gym includes a rock climbing wall, naturally.
But if you’re feeling a bit lazy, just watch a movie in their home theater.
This place takes Brooklyn living to another level.

Friday 5/16 Edition - Top Menswear Designers Explain How to Buy and Wear a Suit
To state the obvious: invest in a well-tailored suit today and you’ll be wearing it for many years to come. Not so obvious is the color, cut, and style you should be wearing. These things are best left to the experts…
Giorgio Armani
“When choosing a suit, a man should look for something that he can wear, and not something that will wear him. In other words, elegance, sophistication, and timeless style are always better than of-the-moment trends, which will date—and date the wearer.”
“As for style, a two-button suit is more timeless than a three or a one-button. A single-breasted is more versatile than double—allowing you to dress your suit up or down more freely and use the jacket as a separate more easily.”
Frank Muytjens
“When buying a suit, by default guys go one size bigger to hide their bodies. Don’t do this; you should always buy your size. The rule of thumb is that it all starts with the shoulder: Make sure that the shoulder of the jacket follows your natural shoulder line. The jacket should be slightly tapered. This is one of my favorite features in our Ludlow suit. It should also feel snug, but not tight, and you should still have some room to move. You’ll be amazed at what a good-fitting jacket does for your posture and confidence.”
Todd Snyder
“A perfectly fitted navy suit is the most versatile thing in a man’s wardrobe. It can be worn to almost any occasion from a wedding to an interview.”
Tommy Hilfiger
“On a suit, if the sleeves are down to the knuckles or substantially above the wrists, you know it isn’t fitting well. And then there are the shoulders. You don’t want to look like Herman Munster and you don’t want to look like Pee-wee Herman. If you button the top button or center button of the jacket and it’s not pulling around the waist and the vents aren’t spreading but it’s still snug, you know you have a good fit.”
Jeremy Hackett
“Nothing spoils a good suit like a pair of cheap shoes. Properly made ones are a real investment. I’ve always been of the opinion that it’s better to own one item that’s beautifully made than three inferior products.”
Gianluca Isaia
“Get a suit you really like even if it’s not the safe choice. Buying another blue or gray suit makes you another sheep in the herd. I want to be the black sheep.”
“In Neapolitan dialect, there’s an expression, fare una sciammeria, which means to have a wild, passionate, crazy night of sex. They don’t come easily—you need to make a bit of effort. To get one you need to invest money—take a woman out to the right restaurant, buy her flowers, do vacations. The money spent will bring you pleasure. It’s the same with a suit—you need to spend money to get the most from one.”
Viktor & Rolf
“The right suit should be comfortable but tailored. It shouldn’t restrict your movements, but it should enhance your figure and give you the silhouette you wish for when you’re undressed.”
Sam Shipley and Jeff Halmos
“Invest in a well-tailored suit. Although the ‘buy two suits, get three shirts, seven belts, 96 socks, and 34 ties FREE’ deals are tempting, go with something nice and get it tailored to fit you perfectly.”
David Hart
“Mohair suits are a must for spring—they’re crisp and lightweight. It breathes so well in the summer months and helps you stay cool.”
Garrett Leight
“Get yourself a nice tailored suit. Girls love a guy in a great suit, and it’s really obvious when it doesn’t fit you. Plus, every man needs at least one for weddings and special occasions. Dark navy or black are the most timeless.”
Tom Ford
“I don’t believe in playing around much with suit cuts. I like a fairly classic shape that gives a man strong shoulders, a fitted waist, and long legs. Classic simplicity always works.”
Rick Owens
“When a suit gets middle-of-the-road it kind of loses me—it has to be sharp and classic and almost forties.”
Consuelo Castiglioni
“I like a guy in a suit that’s cut a little smaller—slightly shorter, with smaller lapels. Inside, the jacket should have beautiful finishing that only the guy wearing it notices.”
Dwight Fenton
“The rules of tailoring are a little more ambiguous these days, but the waist and shoulders of a suit should always fit you perfectly.”
Paul Smith
“Generally speaking, I wear a suit every day, because my suits are custom-made. They are comfortable. They move with me.”
Frida Giannini
“A nice suit is important, but a well-done jacket is the most essential part of a man’s wardrobe. A good fit in the shoulder is, to me, crucial.”
Timo Weiland
“Add a boldly colored and/or patterned tie or cravat to a suit or trench-look as an easy, automatic conversation starter. Not only will you look sharp, people will feel more inclined to approach you to compliment you on your dapper look.”
Elisabetta Canali
“Choose a comfortable style, the shape that best suits your silhouette to make you feel at ease without losing your savoir-faire.”
Great accessories can make or break a suit. Stay sharp with these accessories and more from Informant Daily’s shop:
