Cyril Castle was a noted London tailor, and made suits for Roger Moore, which he wore in The Saint (ITC Entertainment, 1962-1969) and James Bond (United Artists, 1973-1985). Di Fabrizio Shoes, located 5,000 miles away from London on North Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles, found its first celebrity client in Dean Martin. Dozens of others—to include Sinatra—soon followed.
